Out today on Northern Spy, return with πͺπππππππ πΊππππππ, a vast, unfolding continuation of the trioβs signature ambient-country styling. Bob Holmes, Jonathan Greg and Pat Irwin traverse new terrain, slowly unearthing the ever-expanding map of their growing run of albums. Each piece arrives with the calm assurance of a band attuned to negative space, tone, decay, atmosphere, and melody. Sunsets I-X bring you a quiet preoccupation with memory and evoke the slow erosion of time.
