"I love how the band sits in the groove between jangling guitar pop and modern americana; they don’t really push the sound either way, which inevitably allows the group to work on their own foundation."

i've been thinking about this record a lot lately...an album that seems to represent and be about missed opportunities and not letting it get you down. i can still recall cracking the cellophane off the cassette and playing it LOUD right around the day of release. the slide on this just slays

Trump is testing the waters by detaining/deporting Mahmoud Khalil. So far the Dems are failing to clear even this lowest of bars in defense of absolutely basic yet fundamental rights. It's wrong to disappear people. PERIOD.

additional kind words from @ravensingstheblues.bsky.social regarding CW’s debut EP available now via bandcamp as a cassette and/or digital download… a full lp of unreleased muzak coming later on this summer!
