Off-kilter Portland indie rockers make an unexpected return with a tight three-track EP, their first new release in 12 years. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2024
The standalone tracks of the album are undoubtedly Earthly Needs and Love Crimes. Though opinions may differ across Thorpe's fanbase, I connected with the track Stop Motion swirling piano that seemingly softens the track, and almost emotional in execution. If you haven't bought this album, you really should, Hayden Thorpe is a bountiful gift to our well-trained ears. davey rothwell
