Brattleboro, Vermont's Sarah Smith and Zach Phillips have dropped another absolute bomb. The music here is so good, Feeding Tube Records couldn't resist releasing it on vinyl, even though their Our Place LP was already in production. Exquisite songcraft, cunningly rhythmic arrangements and Sarah's lilting vocals give the songs here a deceiving lightness, almost like a 21st century Gilberto/Jobim collaboration. The more you play it, the deeper it will cut. A perfect record for summer, with an engraved B-side, courtesy of the youngest members of Team Feeding Tube: Addie C. and Coco M. Also available as half of a cassette split with Bruce Hart on Blanche Blanche Blanche's home-label OSR Tapes. No EQ. Bass by Danny Bissette. Edition of 200.

No effects, EQ or noise reduction were used in the making of this album, the fifth by this fantastic Brattleboro duo. Sarah Smith and Zach Phillips (aka Bruce Hart, Jordan Piper Philips, Nals Goring, etc.) assemble mostly keyboard-oriented skeletal pop gems from the softest imaginable bones. Sarah Smith sings like a torchier version of the Young Marble Giants' Allison Stratton, singing lost fragments from the Randy Newman Songbook. Smith's guitar playing seems effortless but planned out with a true heart. It's an incredible combination that always pulls itself back from the brink of potential cutesy-pieness with genuinely unexpected moves and a fully brilliant manner of constructing songs. A surrealist cocktail masterpiece from the upper reaches of the Connecticut River Valley.
