After 2019’s Emily Alone when Brooklyn singer songwriter Emily Sprague recorded the LP on her own, the band four-piece reunite for a beautiful lo-fi indie folk 16-track album of tenderness, rough edges, woozy sounds and rainy porch acoustic. You can hear crickets on opener June 9th Nighttime and Duet For Guitar and Rain speaks for itself in its creeping, twiddling, sensitivity and further instrumental tracks Bells Pt. 1-3, the almost out of space feel of Jonnie on The Porch, and Duet For 2 Eyes have an oddball, experimental charm, but there’s plenty of gorgeous vocals and more more formed playing in store, such as Red Bird Pt. 2, in which Sprague serenely refers to her departed mother (“She’s in the birdsong / She won’t be gone”), Spring In Hours, Two Ways or Feathers. A relaxing, warm, touching, tender, affectionate celebration of love and a band’s enduring friendship. Out on Double Double Whammy.
