Lousy With Sylvianbriar

Warm, tape-saturated psych-folk recorded live in three weeks. A sharp turn toward 1970s analog grit, trading synth-pop maximalism for pedal steel and raw intimacy.

It's like if of Montreal decided to record a lost Neil Young album in a haunted San Francisco basement.

A grounded, earthy introspection that swaps manic energy for analog warmth and weary wisdom.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The weeping pedal steel entry on 'Amphibian Days' that shifts the track from folk to cosmic country

The raw, unpolished vocal harmonies between Kevin Barnes and Rebecca Cash on 'Raindrop in My Skull'

The driving, Jagger-esque swagger of the opening riff in 'Fugitive Air' setting a gritty new tone
