Here's the scoop from James F. Johnston...
"Our new album released today on God Unknown Records. Steve and I are beyond pleased with how this album turned out. Oh, and it looks beautiful too.
Here’s some of the PR info that might help describe it:
Recorded at their homes throughout 2021 and 2022, the ten songs on this new album take the fragile intimacy and agenda-free approach of its predecessor and go out even further into the fringes.
“We were pushing away from songs,” says Johnston. “We wanted it to sound beautiful and loose, like something cast adrift.”
The album’s centre piece, the epic near ten-minute title track closes the album.
“This track, that’s the centre of the record, was cut together, cut apart, ending up almost unrecognizable from where it started and then goes off on a complete tangent.”
“Even though we record fast, to keep a live feel, we really spent time on this album reassembling and disassembling a lot of the tracks. The song has a kind of damaged psychedelic yearning we both love on Big Star 3rd, or at least that’s what we were going for, which goes into a totally spacey and almost Wagnerian synth and string freak out, or a Popol Vuh Herzog soundtrack.
“We were definitely both listening to side two of Low and Heroes at the time too and wanted to give the music a chance to stretch out, go somewhere unexpected.”
