SLTM's first release is just that: a release, of sorts, from doubt & worry concerning a truly and profoundly sick world/society; as well as an attempt to combat and/or escape from that said world/society.
Nemo up at TIME-LAG has a way with words for sure, and said the album "builds up layer upon layer of violin, viola, acoustic guitar, slippery electric slide, percussion, electronics, accordion, buried vocals, and found sounds into haunted, rollicking, thick sonic blankets of sound. many simple parts entwined, looped, and orchestrated into an undulating whole, like naive bedroom folkrock filtered through some blissed out minimalist phase experiment. ecstatic, post-psychedelic chamber rock maybe?" Maybe so...
"&hope still" is a collaborative release between Indian Queen and the noble TIME-LAG RECORDS, and is available in cd and 180g vinyl formats. CD is full offset, inside and out, and LPs fold out for a full offset poster on the outside, and are hand-numbered on the inside (a pressing of 300 to be exact) with some loverly inserts for your reading pleasure. Photographs/extensive layout help and guru-like patience by the amazing Magera Moon.
