Magazine Beach - Constant Springtime - VINYL LP

Swift Arrows is a record full of dark corners and dazzling shafts of light. An exploration in gamboling piano lines slowing into lingering, thrumming ballads, Earl sounds as though she's singing from the very boat she burned before- throwing breakaway melodies into a whipping wind of resonant choral singers. An album about the fraying of love, about it's anger and it's mercy, about despair and boundless hope, knotted together with rich strings and steady, distant drums, It is clear Earl knows that once one has Inchburned the boatsInch there is no going back, only going forward, headlong into one's new life. Swift Arrows is about doing just that, and doing it boldly. This album is pressed on pink vinyl and has a card.

Drawing inspiration from bands such as The Sweet, The Dictators, Van Halen, The Fucking Champs, Nazareth, Sheer Mag, KISS, Jaguar, and Boston, Piittsburgh PA's triple lead guitar outfit Limousine Beach combine concentrated songwriting and nimble fretwork with soaring vocal harmonies to become the world's first Inchsizzle rockInch band. Each composition is a compact blast of expertly crafted songwriting, none of which sacrifice complexity or power for brevity. So knock off work early, crank up Limousine Beach, and if anyone asks where you are, tell 'em you're gone sizzlin'. InchBased on true events, 'Stealin' Wine' is a tale of airborne liquor theft. When you have 8 hours left to kill on a transatlantic flight, an unattended booze cart is all the motive you need,Inch says the band.

As the world continues to plunge into a fiery blaze of calamity, the Southern Hemisphere's air warms, it's leaves glow green, and the damp earth jolts awake. Springtime is coming to Australia, and it will be ushered in by three sonic shamans who are no strangers to our ears. Gareth Liddiard (Tropical F**k Storm / The Drones), Jim White (Dirty Three / Xylouris White) and Chris Abrahams (The Necks) are Springtime-a new endeavor that is as much a tonal experiment as it is a meditation on modern-day absurdity. Springtime's self-titled debut combines free jazz, poignant lyricism crafted alongside renowned Irish poet Ian Duhig, and improvisation to craft austere portraits of a world paralyzed by shellshock. Across the span of seven tracks, Liddiard incants with wild-eyed fury as White and Abrahams lay down stuttering strings, fizzling electronics, and feathery piano melodies. It is within these raving abstractions that one may find an answer to the enduring question, InchWhat fresh hell will this new season bring?Inch
