OTHER NEWS: Central Chambers will be released on vinyl January 13. There is beautiful new artwork for it (see left), a bonus unreleased track, plus the album will come with a hi-res downloadable mp3 version (320kbps/VBR). For collectors of all stripes. It can be pre-ordered from the new store.
Here are some nice things that have been written about the new album:
“This indie-folk quintet traffics in the best kind of lean-in-and-listen music.” – The Boston Globe
“This Massachusetts band [makes] lush, off-kilter pop-rock in which nothing makes sense but everything sounds wondrous.” – USA TODAY
“Powerful, poignant and utterly infectious pop… a lush chamber pop masterpiece. I can’t recommend this enough.” - delusionsofadequacy.net
