You need planes if you want inspiration
You need trains if you hate transportation
I want the lowlands
I want the jazzhands
I crave attention
And I just want to drive alone
With the windows down, blasting Califone
But I can't have that anymore
You need Edison Museums for rainy days
You need snow for sleds from cafeteria trays
I want the Haw
I want the full extent of the law
I crave my old ways
And I just want to drive alone
With the windows down, blasting Califone
But I can't have that anymore.

Phil makes sometimes quiet, sometimes ear shattering, always pretty and dense records and this one is no different. As big as all outdoors and as small as a small wooden shack, as to be expected. al Riggs
Dance to this all night and then the morning and then the afternoon until your legs turn to noodles or the landlord starts a-knocking on your floor/their ceiling with a broom. Whichever happens first. al Riggs
Landlady live is a force of nature, on record they are just as gorgeous and anxious as they are in the Flesh World. More Nervous Energy for those who like tremendous drumming and proper earworms. al Riggs
The wonderfully understated folk songs on the new EP from Emma Geiger recall the best of The Softies and early Mary Lou Lord. Bandcamp New & Notable May 9, 2022
