Generationals - Reader As Detective - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Laughing Chimes have, over the course of one album and several singles, breathed new life into classic jangle and paisley pop. Formed by teenage brothers Evan and Quinn Seurkamp, they bring a fresh, youthful enthusiasm and the unique outlook of their eastern Ohio rust belt upbringing to sounds that would fit right in on labels like Flying Nun, Creation and Sarah.Gathering up 3 future-classic tunes from their 2021 debut album and two subsequent singles onto one 7Inch, InchLaurel HeightsInch is a brilliant distillation of The Laughing Chimes' considerable charm and a super vinyl introduction to the band. The song InchLaurel HeightsInch sounds like a tune by the best Athens, GA band you never heard of, a brilliant slice of pastoral jangle destined for a thousand mixtapes. InchZoo AvenueInch is an achingly melodic pop nugget taken from a tape EP of the same name, and InchTry To Change My MindInch was one of the stand-outs of their aforementioned debut LP.The songs are strong, assured and enlivened by an infectious immediacy that allows The Laughing Chimes to claim this familiar sound as their own. They're at once timeless and bang up-to-date, and we're very happy to offer this rousing time capsule while the band works on what will surely be a terrific second album.A1. Laurel HeightsB1.

Smoke Fairies will their first album in four years. 'Darkness Brings The Wonders Home' will be released on January 31st coupled with new tour dates for the band. The first single to be taken from the album 'Disconnect' is now available on all streaming platforms. Jessica and Katherine travelled to Seattle to record Darkness Brings The Wonders Home with producer Phil Ek (The Black Angels, Fleet Foxes, The Shins) and over the course of a rigorous month-long session in Seattle, adopted a purposely intimate approach to achieving a singular sonic tone. In the making of Darkness Brings The Wonders Home, Smoke Fairies drew inspiration from mysteries both real and imagined sea monsters, flocks of crows taking flight in extravagant formation, strange creatures dwelling in the mud near their new South London abode. 'Times of darkness are when people are often the most imaginative,' says Jessica Davies in reflecting on the album's title. 'It helps you to see all the wonders of the world you hadn't noticed before - the things you've been blind to because you've been on autopilot for so long. 'Produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Black Angels, The Shins), Darkness Brings The Wonders Home merges Smoke Fairies' musings and meditations with a decidedly guitar-driven sound, the duo's unearthly harmonies endlessly floating atop lead-heavy riffs. Over the course of a rigorous month-long session in Seattle, Smoke Fairies adopted a purposely intimate approach to achieving that singular sonic tone.

As Generationals, Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner have been stretching the boundaries of pop music for over a decade. From Con Law, their ebullient 2009 debut, to their adventurous and groove-infused LP from 2019 Reader As Detective, the New Orleans based duo have made songs that are consistently immediate and memorable. Even though their music always sounds effortless, they approach their songwriting with an auteur-like perfectionism constantly tweaking and fine-tuning their craft.
