According to a reply on FB they will be announcing some tour dates in a couple of weeks.

Loving this Album.   Are they getting any attention nationally these days?  This is the first I have heard of them.  Surprised they were not on more bands to watch out for lists, music blogs, etc.

My LP came yesterday and I must say that I was a little disappointed in the sound.  I am guessing that it is probably due to the band's budget (I don't think that the J. Roddy & The Business' LP sounds great either, so same situation?).  Does anyone else have it yet?  Don't get me wrong, I'm still glad that I bought it, it just sounds a little flat.  Also, I have a mediocre setup at best as far as my TT and speakers/amp go.

Yes, unsealed with an LP ring in the jacket.  Also, the paper sleeve was folded in on two corners.

I only had slight ring wear and one folded sleeve corner. :bath:

Cameron, thanks for the suggestion. I have been listening to Twister for the past week and it's a great experience....between this album, WU LYF, Alabama Shakes and Willis Earl Beal there is some great new stuff goin around.....

They had their album release at Mercury lounge last night.  Was wondering if anybody went.  Waiting on the vinyl so haven't listened to the new one yet.

Straight ballin' for sure this time around.  My Hour of the Wolf arrived on President's Day in pristine condition and I can assure you that the vinyl sounds exponentially better than the last one.  As expected, I'm digging it.  They are all over the map stylistically but may have dropped the Morning Son sound a bit more and added some tracks with a solid bluesiness to them.  I think it's a damn solid 2nd record.

Upon 2nd listen, there are some sunny pop songs in here that may or may not appeal to some that loved the 1st record.  One song in particular reminded me of It's a Shame Lemondheads.
