I’m about half way through my first listen and it’s really good. I wasn’t sure of the idea of recording it on cassette/reel-to-reel as I didn’t get on with the time The National did a similar thing, but it’s perfect for these songs.

Oh is it out?!

Yep! Came out yesterday!

:open_mouth: I’m getting on it!

Put it on for the drive up to Sheffield to take my daughter back to Uni. Unfortunately we both looked at each other and thought the same thing. It’s been recorded on a phone.
Put Great Grandpa on instead!

The sound fidelity varies HUGELY throughout the album, the majority of it sound amazing, and the cassette-sounding stuff is a stylistic thing for certain bits

Assuming this comes to the UK (which I’m sure it will) I might try and make more than one date, which I basically never do, they’re just one of the best live bands going

They also mix up 5-6 shows a set so worth it from that POV

Yeah exactly, would be great

forgot how much I liked Haunted Mountain. Suggest everyone returns to it, sounds great in the sun

You really do gotta hand it to 'em. Scarily prolific. If Lenker’s not the most significant rock musician of the last 30 years I don’t know who else I’d choose.

I’m so excited for this album, I hope it’s them leaning into the heavier side of their live stuff
