Always searching for good new music; very rare that something grabs me like this. Also not often that I buy an album on the basis of one song, but this might have to be an exception.

Good stuff. She’s gotta a great voice and I love the slow build. I would wanna hear more before I gab the vinyl but it’s a real solid track. Thanks for the heads up!

Found this podcast where they perform four songs. They cite Gillian Welch, Elliott Smith, Jason Molina, and Aldous Harding as inspirations for their music. That tracks. (They cover a Songs: Ohia song on the podcast.)

To answer my own question re: Big Thief, the eco friendly is the indie variant. I’d also place this pressing under “sounds decent enough to own” but wouldn’t pay more than 25 for it.

Looking over the varied pressings it looks like the “eco friendly” description is getting a bad rap. From what I’ve seen, all it appears to be is the leftover vinyl pellets from other colored pressings. Both my copies are pretty dark they have a dark blue green wavey color but it doesn’t pick up very well on photo. I have seen others where they have been tan or pink. So it looks like “recycled” in this case more means left over than anything else. I think if they had said it was “random” colored people wouldn’t be so itchy about it.

My copy sounds fine. I think it has some minor issue that has plagued GZ but overall it isn’t anything that I find annoying or would deter me from spinning the record. Like you I think it’s worthwhile for retail but if in like 6 month after the indie exclusive is OOP, it’s not gonna be worth the flipper rate.

Always great to support a new band. And as a bonus an interesting Podcast to check out. Scrolled down the 2021 episode list and didn’t recognize a single band. :-). Going to give it a listen.

Agreed. When people see recycled they think found in a dumpster. This is definitely left over pellets of unattractive colors. Mine is dookie brown and kind of a marbled gray.

HIs first single Shine was all over the radio here back in 2017 and I saw him live 3 times during that period (really good), but he kind of dropped off the map after that. I have that first album, but completely missed the release of the 2nd album in 2020 apparently and now this is the 3rd. Just some good old fashioned alt rock.

Disc one on my eco press is dookie brown and disc 2 is a very pretty purpley marble. I just got it in today and had to dash out the door for a soccer match.
We tied!
