SML play fully improvised, every time they take the stage. Honestly it’s fucking miraculous. See this excerpt from their show at the Empty Bottle in March 2025 (filmed by Derrick Alexander) where the band created, in the moment, the core of “𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿” (from their forthcoming album 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐧).

Our goal with offering the physical album first (via independent record stores) is to reward and encourage the time-tested, tactilely invigorating, poetically consumerist, wholly humanity-affirming experience of actually buying records. Especially from your friendly neighborhood record store.

This Friday's physical-first release date follows a worldwide event last Saturday, when more than 150 independent record stores across the globe hosted listening events for 𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 - including this amazing human at White Wabbit Records Taiwan, who made a paper mache mask version of the album cover!
