So Peter Buck, Corin Tucker, Bill Rieflin, Kurt Bloch and Scott McCaughey go into a room and record..."bluesy, guitar driven" rock?

Also they look like this:

And maybe it's great! But why do I keep thinking this is yet another Dave Stewart project.

rieflin was probably on tour with king crimson when that was taken. no idea who the woman on the far left is.

oh that's Janet Weiss on the far left...isn't it?

I really like this record.
There was a time when Peter Buck and Corin Tucker making excellent music together in a band would be relatively big music news. I'm starting to think that the kids are losing interest in their alternative rock.

The CD comes with a download code for MP3s of the album.
Let that sink in.

better than I thought it would be but I don't think I'll be rushing to listen to it very often.

Finally got around to this, it's pretty good for the most part. The title track is gorgeous, i'm genuinely upset i hadn't heard it before now.

this band is not great, right? i never heard the first album but the new one is sort of relentlessly pedestrian.
sounds like half the local bar bands in my small town, not a band from the guitar behind R.E.M. and the voice of Sleater-Kinney.
