Serene, dreamy, beautifully melodic alt-country-folk by the Michigan-bred, LA-based group, their fourth and perhaps best yet album is awash with road imagery, rich cinematic inserts and classic retro guitar sounds. Interspersed with short interval sections of whispery or vintage voice and sound effects, the sense of a journey is constant, from the gorgeous single Mine Forever to Love Me Like You Used To, the slow burn late-night swing of Meet Me In The City, the swooningly beautiful, romantic, Roy Orbison-style title track Long Lost, the deeply melancholy Twenty Long Years and Drops In The Lake. Vocally songs such as What Do It Mean echoes the work of other bands like Fleet Foxes, while the closing track, Time’s Blur, by contrast, has nothing traditional, folky, or country about it, instead is a cinematic huge 14-minute horizon of synth and string ambience, as if taking in the long view of a journey made. From the classic to the wonderfully escapist and otherworldly. Out on Whispering Pines Studios.
