The band's debut 7" is out now and available via mailorder. The band will be touring Germany in November and will release their debut full-length on January 27.

New mp3 today from Tape from their third album "Rideau", out next week on Häpna. As Jens Lekman says in his recent interview with PopMatters, "the most exciting stuff is happening on the Häpna label" and I'm inclined to agree. Surely you've heard some of the hype on now-departed organ/drum duo Sagor & Swing, but there's much more to be discovered. I find myself listening to a lot of droning ambient music these days now that I'm working from home and can listen to my choice of music without fear of annoying coworkers. However, I still have to worry about annoying my wife, so compromises must be made! This is the stuff that we can wholeheartedly agree on: it's inobstrusive enough that you can work without distractions, but not so much so that you can't enjoy it. And we all know that noise/drone is the new black, right? Get with it! I especially love this track for the buzz of the shakers - it reminds me of cicadas and summertime.

Release the Bats has signed Tar... Feathers and will release their debut album sometime around late January/early February. The band is described as early K-Records mixed with lo-fi "Head on the door"-era Curee. Listen to a sample here: https://www.hlg.se/tarfeathers/songs/Tar_Feathers_-_lucky.mp3
