'Forever Howlong's breezy instrumentation wafts in as if astride a pacific zephyr, giving the sense that this could have emerged during a particularly fertile 70s prog folk period.

There's a real timeless air to the collective's third outing (and first in their new sans-Isaac guise) - the compositions are inventive and beguiling, inviting us back to lose ourselves within their dancing fronds again and again.
They've reinforced their position as leaders in their field once more - and if you were one of the many fans who caught an early spin of this last week at our listening party, you'll know exactly what we're talking about!

Also out this week: 

The new album from Pigs x7 is a powerful, rumbling, tumbling, barrelling 5-headed beast armed to the back teeth with incendiary riffs and eye-popping drums + they've kindly signed copies for us. Adding a little pop punk spark to their 90s slacker gaze, Momma's brand of rock comes with a sizable dose of infectious optimism and substantial sing-a-long choruses. Signed also available if you're quick. The Waterboys have done the impossible and, with the help of Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple, and Steve Earle, imbued their album with the joy, heft, and wild energy that made Dennis Hopper a legend and local hero Penelope Trappes is in bewitching, spellbinding form, weaving atmospheric drones with her haunting and deeply affecting vox. She's generously popped her signature on some copies too.

What else, I hear you ask! How about Ethel Cain's long-sought-after 'Preacher's Daughter'? Tracy Chapman's self-titled album is celebrating its 35th anniversary, there are a trio of shoegaze essentials from Slowdive, L.A. Witch are grappling with canine deities, Brown Horse are feeling weak, Elton John & Brandi Carlile still believe, signed copies are available for Craig Finn, it's liquid lunch time with Yann Tiersen, the Sex Pistols are off to Dallas, Logic1000 is kicking it (signed on that one), there's triple trouble from Miki Berenyi, and Voice of the Beehive are getting high on their own supply.
