Rough Trade Exclusive grey vinyl with fold-out poster and poster print of Don’t Let Me Go single artwork. Signed.

The second album from post-coital-bliss rockers, Cigarettes After Sex, is an overbrimming romance of ambience and melody from start to finish. Greg Gonzalez's atmospheric manipulation is sedative and addictive. An aurally ingested Valium. But this is more than mood music. The lyrics reveal love letters to people throughout the many stages of a relationship. From desire to separation (and of course the sex in-between). For fans of Mazzy Star, Mojave 3 and sex.

Albums Of The Month - November 2019

There is an old Norse myth that says the great northern glaciers stored energy until they burst with fluorescent light, creating the Aurora Borealis. Saariselka is inspired by the meeting of earth and light, where slowly moving land masses merge with enveloping light fields. This sonic collaboration between composers Marielle Jakobsons (Fender Rhodes, organ, synthesizers) and Chuck Johnson (pedal steel guitar and treatments) is as expressive as it is enigmatic.On their debut album, The Ground Our Sky, a kind of new ambient Americana is unearthed and explored. The respectively singular artistry of Jakobsons and Johnson collectively craft a universe of remarkable resonance. It is a vibrant, seemingly infinite sway of sounds that exists unmoored in time and space.
