About This Item
Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 from the indie band from Brooklyn, New York. Best Blues is the follow-up to their 2013 full-length Limits Of Desire. Coming full circle from the group's hazy, lo-fi beginnings and more streamlined, clean recent releases, Best Blues offers a fusion of structure and ambience. Colored by singer Josh Hayden Kolenik's poetic, stream-of-consciousness lyrics, the freewheeling and atmospheric music offers listeners an electronic pulse and an intimate connection. Small Black stretches out on Best Blues and takes a step forward, showcasing an evolved sound that's both more refined and aggressive. It was written and recorded at the Brooklyn natives' home studio over the course of 12 months and was mixed by Nicolas Vernhes (The War on Drugs, Deerhunter). Album Tracks 1. Personal Best 2.
