Bucky Hot damn! I had to buy the vinyl only halfway through. It’s got one foot pushing a heavy pedal on the psych and the other blazing with cosmic folk and outlaw soul. Favorite track: Silos.

David Minnix You should buy this. Its got:
Neil Youngish slow rockers, rusty front porch chooglin tunes about drinking and despair, serious noisy Wilco YHF/Big Star third vibes. Haunting vocals from Angela James and Janet Bean (Eleventh Dream Day, Freakwater). Yeah it sounds like bands you already love but they've synthesized it all into something that sounds just like themselves and no one else. These are good songs recorded with a lot of care.
Just buy it already! OK?! jeeze... Favorite track: Cicero.
