Reissue Of Long Out Of Print 2010 LP. Initial Pressing Limited To 1000 Copies On Peach Swirl Vinyl. “Michael Nau and Whitney McGraw masterfully create a mood that is hard to pin down - it seems almost otherworldly.” – KCRW // “The best parts of this boy-girl duo’s second album sound like some obscure ’50’s act, the kind that ought to list “reverb” as a band member.” – SPIN // Michael Nau & Whitney McGraw skipped town months ago, leaving the old haunts in Cumberland behind... To sift through the old noise, they walked off the edge of their world... To sound the depths, the songwriters relocated, to Georgia, far south of the Glowstream. “We spent a lot of time on the bank of that stream – alone, together, gathered like a flock of birds, examining the next move,” said Nau. “Many of the tunes on this record feel like Cumberland to me. When I'm there, it’s like a dream – all familiar sound and light, where the factories and birds sing the same song.” The duo settled fast after the move, halted their incessant touring and festival appearances, and began the process of selecting a new cycle of songs to follow their acclaimed Suicide Squeeze debut, Paranoid Cocoon. Cotton Jones, as always, rests in arms of Nau and McGraw. Tall Hours In The Glowstream, is the title of their new album. Some of the songs that made the final cut were tracked in northern States, while the majority were recorded and mixed in Winterville, Georgia, as a revolving cast of players, thinkers, and singers were invited to hang in the band’s living-room studio. The resulting sounds are both rich and charmingly lo-fi, full of vivid imagery and more gorgeous vocal harmony. Hard-asking tracks like “Somehow To Keep It Going” and “More Songs For Margaret” prove the promise in this music, the feeling of something better to come if only you can hold tight a little longer... "Always the mornings keep coming..." And what a beautiful thing that is...
