Lake Ruth

From @suedehead1969 on IG - lovely to see Birds of America on this beautiful, perfectly coordinated red turntable - thanks Colin!

One year ago we released our 2nd album, Birds of America. This photoset is by the talented artist Alan Mills Jr., who so graciously allowed a detail from his 2016 painting "The Birth of Socialism" to be used for our cover. We'll always be grateful for the use of this striking and arresting work which - to us anyway - visually expresses the themes of violence, chaos, resistance and flight found within the album's songs. Eternal thanks to the lovely Dom Martin as well for releasing the vinyl. ❤️

Very proud of daughter Rosetta's recording debut in the "Pavel Mikoyan" section (31:50 - 38:30) of this wonderful Hookland tribute mix! https://www.mixcloud.com/The_Ephemeral_Man/radio-free-hookland-mojos-graveyard-shift-23rd-november-1972/

Very humbled by these kind words from DJ Sandra Zettpunkt (Golden Glades on ByteFM, Hamburg). When someone with such a depth of musical knowledge finds our sound unique we feel like we're doing things right. Huge thanks! ❤️ http://goldenglades.de/best-of-2018/

Wrote a few words on Peel Dream Magazine's lovely debut on Slumberland Records for the annual Delusions of Adequacy - adequacy.net year-end list. Excellent and intriguing selections here from innovative musicians, writers and labels. http://www.adequacy.net/2018/12/doa-aoty-2018/

Merci Hands And Arms Music in Paris for featuring our split 7' with Pale Lights & Listening Center in their best singles of 2018! <3

Thanks A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed - website for remembering our album, Birds Of America, from way, way back in February! <3

There's a beautiful new / old tune from The New Lines & Übertrager (features members of Friedrich Sunlight) - The Sound At The End Of The Road - on this lovely new compilation from Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten. The song dates back to the time of their first album, All That We See And Seem and was one of the first pieces of music that Hewson recorded with his Mattson Mini Modular. Audio in the comments, enjoy and get the vinyl while you can!

Always an honor to fall under the lens of the talented Jen Meller! Such an amazing photographer. From our October show at Ceremony in Brooklyn with the mighty EXEK and Marbled Eye. ❤️

Thank you Sounds & Books <3
