Wow-wasn't expecting a new record from them in 2021 and they are touring:

I've been waiting for this one since they started recording with Mitch Easter back in 2016. Especially stoked to hear proper versions of three songs off Old School Dropouts, which was made of demo songs for TVT (some of them had Jon Wurster on drums). Not a fan of their early work, but starting with Ring, I've always heard a lot of Loobkoff-ish guitar work in George Huntley's playing (as in Carry My Picture, Logan Street and Fifth Fret). So yeah, I pre-ordered both vinyl and CD.

I've got the first 4 albums by this band but don't really know the later stuff. My favorite of the ones I have is probably Boylan Heights.

They should be my thing, but I've always thought they were pretty dull and this new song does not change my mind.
