A staple of the global psychedelic scene, Lover has spent nearly a decade fine-tuning a broken, abstracted form of electronica that pools together a tapestry of trip-hop, synthesised krautrock, dub and dark ambient. ‘Integrated Paradox’ is out now and available to stream here:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+ Full Streaming Options \u003ca href=\"\u0026lt;a%20href=\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHERE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilising an arsenal of samples, drum machine, analogue synths and live instrumentation, Lover’s is a kaleidoscopic sound that’s J-Dilla, DJ Shadow and Lee Scratch Perry by way of Brian Eno, Kraftwerk and Kluster.

Now, Lover returns with his latest studio album, ‘Cosmic Joke’ – a series of synthesised philosophical meditations on modern life, in all its tragicomic absurdity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTalking about the record – which arrives following his 2019 ‘Existential Everything’ LP – Lover says: \"'Cosmic Joke' came from observing the rising, compounded absurdity in recent years and seeing structures of normalcy dissolving. It’s my attempt to view these things as part of a higher-order process, through a metaphysical lens rather than an ideological one. It’s been an exercise in holding the paradoxical relationship of comedy and tragedy, joy and pain, growth and decay, scale and decline as part of an interlocked system that, at a deep level, is essential to how we interface with the world.” Out today, Lover describes the first preview of the album, ‘Integrated Paradox’, as “a mediation on paradox versus contradiction.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003chr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDue to the nature of making a vinyl record, each record is one of a kind.

Like master painters exploring a subject over a lifetime's work, Kevin Martin and Dylan Carlson - The Bug and Earth, respectively - have each been mining and defining their genres for more than 20 years. They're united by an interest in - really an obsession with - heaviness. They search for, examine and break the boundaries between beautiful and ugly, minimal and maximal, light and dark - but The Bug and Earth always make music that is heavy in the most thrilling of ways. Ninja Tune asked The Bug and Dylan Carlson to perform live in LA around the label's 25th anniversary, and Martin and Carlson took the opportunity to rekindle The Bug vs Earth project. They holed up in Daddy Kev's legendary LA studio, with DJ Nobody engineering, for two very long days. Those recording sessions have resulted in the masterpiece that is Concrete Desert. Inspired by J.G. Ballard's urban dystopias, and the Californian dream capital's sordid, fragmented underbelly, Martin says that the album is in some ways a Los Angeles-set companion piece to London Zoo.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526772363349,"sku":"5054429006063","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/bug-vs-earth-concrete-desert-3421482.jpg?v=1779843306"},{"product_id":"flying-lotus-cosmogramma","title":"Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma","description":"Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526803394645,"sku":"801061019518","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/flying-lotus-cosmogramma-1114201.jpg?v=1779843186"},{"product_id":"flying-lotus-pattern-grid-world","title":"Flying Lotus - Pattern \u0026 Grid World","description":"Flying Lotus - Pattern \u0026amp; Grid World","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526804639829,"sku":"801061930813","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/flying-lotus-pattern-grid-world-8931837.jpg?v=1779843127"},{"product_id":"flying-lotus-presents-infinity-infinitum-maida-vale-session","title":"Flying Lotus - Presents Infinity \"infinitum\" - Maida Vale Session","description":"On the solstice we came together.

When building songs around another's words, the results often sound forced, but Cale does a magnificent job of compressing Thomas's lyricism into neat melodic phrases, themselves just components of a vast harmonic mega-structure scored for the USSR's Orchestra of Symphonic \u0026amp; Popular Music of Gostelradio. A project that could easily have collapsed under the weight of it's own ambition is instead a late masterpiece, thanks to Cale's deep-seated compositional genius, and unobtrusive but resonant production from Brian Eno.\" Kiran Sande","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526867783765,"sku":"5056614704563","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/john-cale-words-for-the-dying-9770120.jpg?v=1779842826"},{"product_id":"johnny-jewel-other-side-of-midnight","title":"Johnny Jewel - Other Side of Midnight","description":"PRESSED ON 180-GRAM ULTRA CLEAR DIPPED IN BLOOD VINYL (TWO-TONE)!!!

Ed.) (Pale Gold)","description":"Sitting in his bedroom in Copenhagen one evening in 2008, arched over a shivering piano in the twilit cool, Brian Batz found himself measuring out sounds in cascading waves. Centuries earlier, beloved avant-garde composer Erik Satie declined the term musician, instead declaring himself a phonometrician-someone who measures sounds. The aching and otherworldly \"Third Drawer Down\"-the product of Batz's 2 a.m. chording-reflects an ecstatic phonometric approach for his first album under the moniker Sleep Party People. Full of arcane arrangements, broken and secondhand instruments, and manipulated vocals, the self-titled record has redoubled in mystic strength on the verge of it's 10-year anniversary reissue, due TK via TK. Batz began working on Sleep Party People as an alternative outlet from the band he'd been playing with, the opportunity to opt for the obscure decisions and creative idiosyncrasies on his own. \"I wanted to see how it would feel to not compromise with anyone and just do what I thought would work,\" he explains. Without proper recording equipment or fancy gear, that meant summoning together the misfit musical tools in his apartment-including a busted piano, an outdated Roland TR-505 drum machine, a keyboard, a handful of assorted guitar pedals, and an acoustic guitar that the kindergarten where he worked was going to throw away. \"I sat in my apartment for a year and a half turning everything upside down and just trying to push my own limits,\" Batz recounts. Inspired by everything from Satie to the Cocteau Twins, the bombast of My Bloody Valentine to the puzzle of Boards of Canada, Sleep Party People became a process of constant innovation.That experimentation clicked into place with the discovery of a distinct vocal sound, a series of effects layered over Batz's lyrics that feels at once hypnagogic in it's obscuring power and intimately familiar, like a waking dream. The radiant, concentric \"I'm Not Human At All\" plays into that duality perfectly, an epic four-chord lullaby in which Batz's voice buzzes like a water-logged robot-or better yet, a white rabbit already halfway down the rabbithole. \"I hated my clean vocals, but once I found this sound, it reminded me of Alice in Wonderland stuff,\" he explains. \"Like an alienated bunny.\" Within weeks of uploading the first few songs on MySpace, Batz received an email from a Danish record label interested in releasing a full album. \"I never had any plans for an entire album,\" Batz laughs. \"I was recording for fun, but at that point I knew I had to move forward.\" That also meant he'd need to start considering Sleep Party People as a complete project, rather than a hobby. The completed record swims through a dizzying sea of haunting imagery and clever musical turns: the fluffy winter afternoon of \"Our Falling Snow\", the pulsating MicroKorg pop of \"10 Feet Up\". The inspiration from the tracks ranges from the surreal to the ultra-real; \"The Dwarf and the Horse\" utilizes silverware and water glasses for a percussion base inspired by a Lynchian dream of the titular characters, while \"Notes to You\" was inspired by a letter Batz wrote to his father and eventually tore up rather than send. Visuals play into the Sleep Party People mythos as well. \"Third Drawer Down\" took it's name from an illustration hanging above Batz piano, the drawing depicting a person carefully guarding a plant just barely poking through the ground-a remarkably fitting image to pair with a song that represents the first growth of a new world. Later, after stumbling upon a photo he found online of a little boy in a rabbit mask, Batz decided that the serendipitous match with his newly adopted bunny-like vocal technique demanded a further connection. From then onward, Batz and the touring musicians he assembled would don their own rabbit masks whenever performing. In the decade since the album was finalized, the sight of a handful of extraordinary, hallucinatory rabbits hunched over instruments has perfectly suited the music's ability to weave grand fairytales in the sky, full of unexpected twists and pained knots. And as the years passed, more and more homemade bunny masks have made their way into the crowd, fans around the world eager to join the journey, singing along-even if Batz's lyrics are more impressionistic than crystalline sentences. \"People write out my lyrics all the time and they're always wrong,\" he says. \"But even still, they capture the feeling.\" Therein lies the sublime magic of Sleep Party People, a record that conveys equal depth and power to countless listeners despite no two seeing it exactly the same way.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527403933781,"sku":"753936907393","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/sleep-party-people-sleep-party-people-10th-anniv-ed-pale-gold-7507590.jpg?v=1779842286"},{"product_id":"tangerine-dream-live-at-place-des-arts-montreal-april-10-77","title":"Tangerine Dream - Live at Place Des Arts Montreal April 10 77","description":"Live at Place des Arts, Montreal - April 10, 1977 - has never been released on vinyl.

Herren's ability to marry the manic to the melodic has always been uncanny, but here it feels downright magical as the songs inhale with his trademark sense of urgency then exhale in longer, more revealing breaths. The prismatic textures that have long been a staple of Prefuse 73 are bound to beats and melodies with the spirit of hip-hop and the subtlety of modern minimalism. The album's guests treat the material with a hushed respect: Roc Nation songwriter and Jessie Ware collaborator Sam Dew turns \"Infrared\" into a sublimely soulful, dimly-lit portrait of inverted R\u0026amp;B; Milo \u0026amp; Busdriver's vicious, rapid-fire verses contrast a pastoral downbeat to brilliant effect; and elsewhere, Pinback's Rob Crow and Latin electronic-folk crooner Helado Negro navigate splintered tropics with passive grace. As a stand-alone album, Rivington Nao Rio ranks extraordinarily high in the Prefuse 73 canon. As a centerpiece to an epic triptych that includes the Forsyth Gardens and Every Color of Darkness EPs, it's a new peak from a pioneer who appears to only just now be hitting his prime.

Her debut album as Floating Spectrum, A Point Between - crafted from a combination of synthesizers, everyday household objects, and unique software synthesizers made by Liau herself - is truly a sound and vision unlike any other. Originally inspired by a dance performance for which Mei-Fang Liau created audio works that explored the recurring cycles of nature - how life emerges, flourishes and eventually decays, and metaphorically, how human emotions are associated with these ever-changing phases. That performance yielded two pieces that would eventually become the roots of A Point Between. To complete the album, Liau relied heavily on a self-made, fractal-inspired software synthesizer called Polyphylla, which simulates the way in which nature creates very complex and organic forms just by repeating slight variations of a simple form. It allowed Liau to create slowly evolving textures and sounds with complex dynamics, and thus the driving influence for the whole of A Point Between. The lone outlier is \"Eruption,\" for which Liau built a generative sound system that turns visual data into sound. In this hybrid system, sensitively fluctuating analog signals, fine-tuned data analysis, and human intuition perform together as one coherent living being.

Reflecting a wide range of influences, this eclectic array of songs coalesce in harmony as Sungod continues to construct innovative ways to compose their unique brand of instrumental music. Wave Refraction raises the bar as Sungod once again demonstrates their outstanding musicianship and cosmic vision. Formed in 2009, Sungod is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalists Michael C. Sharp and Braden Balentine, whose friendship formed around a mutual love for such musical pioneers as Sun Ra, Tangerine Dream, John Fahey and others. Guitar, bass, drums and synthesizers established the band's foundational elements, but as their songwriting burgeoned, they began integrating flute, acoustic guitar, drum machine, piano and even field recordings to round out their multifaceted sound. This large assemblage of instrumentation allowed for deeper arrangements and a wider scope of motif variation. Over time, Sharp and Balentine recruited musicians from Austin's broad pool of talent to contribute to the many layers of Sungod's dense and ever expanding landscape. Sungod's method of experimentation is reminiscent of the early stages of Kraftwerk and Pink Floyd, reinterpreting the established to create something wholly original. Wave Refraction covers a wide spectrum of sonic territory, shifting moods and genres with each track. Opening song \"Little Gold Mouth\" is loud and heavy, highlighting thrashing guitars and drums while nodding to the bands' penchant for gritty, overdriven effects. The beautifully ambient \"Dream Sequence\" takes a softer approach with ghostly fluttering melodies that hover over soft, reverb drenched soundscapes. These extremes work in tandem to carry the listener through an emotional and deep-rooted narrative that organically unfolds across the album's six tracks. Psychedelic slow burner \"Hypnotism\" is an instant classic, preserving Sungod's Krautrock inspired energy with an infectious, synth based groove. The album closes with the beat driven dance track \"Von Innen\" adding yet another level of complexity to this diverse selection of songs.Wave Refraction encapsulates the band's impressive performances and ambitious compositions. Sungod's unrelenting progression has reached peak maturation, making Wave Refraction a profoundly complex and satisfying listen.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527833718869,"sku":"616892537441","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/sungod-wave-refraction-4636600.jpg?v=1779841687"},{"product_id":"tangerine-dream-angel-of-the-west-window","title":"Tangerine Dream - Angel of the West Window","description":"Tangerine Dream's 'The Angel Of The West Window' To Be Released On Vinyl For The First Time.

In that time, Tom Fec's project has toured with Nine Inch Nails, provided the theme song to HBO series Silicon Valley, and teamed with Aesop Rock for a collaborative album as Malibu Ken. He now returns to Ghostly International for Hot Wet \u0026amp; Sassy, a full-length album oozing with his most playful and approachable songs to date, which, conversely, express notions of antilove, self-hate, and disappointment in others.Pop impulses have always surged beneath the surface of his sound - blown-out bass, analog synths, drum machines, and Fec's unmistakable analog gurgle and hiss - here they've bubbled to the top. \"I feel like it's the most I've been able to refine what I'm doing,\" says Fec. \"For the past decade I've had this motherfxcker on my shoulder that makes me pick away at structure and melody. Purposely covering up moments because I can. That really came to a peak on Sweatbox. So I wanted the opposite this time. Write the songs without ripping them in half. I went from 'what would the Butthole Surfers do?' to 'what would Cyndi Lauper do?'\"And what would Trent Reznor do? Fec found his answer straight from the source. Their collaborative track, \"Babysitter,\" fuses their voices into one deranged presence: \"I'm the new babysitter,\" they alert, before pivoting into a menacingly saccharine bridge. The track tumbles on a tom fill, then a punishing synth line rips into a cacophony of drums and feedback like a lawnmower gnawing through the living room carpet. \"This was new for me, but I wanted to write a song that was everything I am and have been, and then like one notch further. Trent was the notch further,\" adds Fec. The collaboration is a work of alchemy seamlessly blending Tobacco's trademarks with Reznor's industrial rust and sonic gore.Downcast, sincere, woozy, \"Jinmenken\" might be the closest Fec has come to a ballad. \"Maybe you can find me down the line,\" his vocoded delivery bounces along the beat. \"It's me trying to write a Jets song,\" says Fec. Album opener \"Centaur Skin\" presents the stylistic concoction that has been the Tobacco MO from the beginning, crossing dreamy melodic shimmer with the sinister tones and slime. This has become easier to digest, but also far more potent. A motorik beat steadies the track's galloping arpeggio, acting as a springboard for Fec's dark ruminations as well as an uncharacteristically crystalline synth solo. \"It's my feel good self hate anthem.

Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record. Following 2011's Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O'Connor's live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. \"After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,\" Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho's creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond it's current sound. In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn't until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. \"It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,\" says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like \"Montana\" and \"Awake\" are a departure from Tycho's previous material - unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record - while \"See\" and \"Dye\" echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns. Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen's visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. \"This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,\" notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527987892309,"sku":"804297820880","price":30.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/tycho-awake-10th-anniversary-edition-bluebeige-7267619.jpg?v=1779840968"},{"product_id":"tycho-awake-remix","title":"Tycho - Awake Remix","description":"Limited deep blue colored vinyl LP pressing includes digital download. Awake represented a high-water mark for Scott Hansen, the San Francisco musician better known as Tycho. Described by Hansen as, \"in many ways, the first True Tycho record,\" Awake announced the arrival of Tycho as a full band, and it found Hansen streamlining the group's sound, focusing on the drums and aiming to capture the energy and power of the group's live set. The story of Awake arrives at it's natural conclusion with this 12\" of remixes, on which Hansen's songs are re-interpreted by producers who make the songs their own while retaining all of their core elements.

While his formative years were spent listening to everything from Yes to Photek, Scott Hansen didn't get his hands on an actual guitar or drum machine until he left his native Sacramento for San Francisco in 1995. \"Encountering this whole new world at 20 years old was a profound experience,\" says Hansen, better known by his musical pseudonym Tycho and as the graphic artist ISO50. \"At the time, I was just learning the processes of design and music; both felt very similar, and have flowed back and forth for me ever since. \" As seamless as his two creative outlets have been, nearly a decade passed before the release of Hansen's first proper Tycho LP, Sunrise Projector (later expanded and reissued under the title Past Is Prologue). And while three striking singles have emerged since then, the sum of all those sepia-toned parts is nowhere near the double-exposed soundscapes of Dive. The product of a prolonged break from IS050's design work and blog, it pays tribute to Tycho's prismatic past (the dense, guitar-guided turning points of \"Daydream\" and \"Adrift\") but spends most of it's time pointing to the project's not-so-distant future. That can mean any number of things, really, from the halcy- on hooks and hopeful horizons of \"A Walk\" to the expansive, wildly expressive tone poetry of the title track, an eight-min- ute epic that unfolds like a compressed concept album. Or at the very least, a restless vision of prog-rock-one that's been coated in neon colors and filtered through a thick piece of blotter paper. And then there's \"Elegy,\" a spare curtain closer that pairs a vulnerable crescendo with a fitting bridge to future works. And with that, Dive establishes it's position as the most diverse musical statement of Hansen's multi-medium career; the point where his skills as a performer finally catch up with his vaporized vision of a world that doesn't belong to any particular time or place. \"Nostalgia is a common thread in my work,\" says Hansen, \"but this album wasn't driven by that idea. I see these songs as arti- facts from a future which might have more in common with our past than our present. \"","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527988580437,"sku":"804297814568","price":34.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/tycho-dive-orangered-6562203.jpg?v=1779840967"},{"product_id":"tycho-simulcast","title":"Tycho - Simulcast","description":"Simulcast follows the highly anticipated release of Tycho's fifth studio album Weather earlier in the year.

Their self-titled debut-album from1971, in the line-up Hartmut Enke (bass), Manuel Göttsching (guitar), Klaus Schulze (drums), radically deconstructed elements of Rock and Blues, as it was combining electronic sounds to encourage new listening habits. Whilst Göttsching and Schulze later followed their solo careers, they always stayed friends and, over the decades, showed their musical solidarity in collaborations, with innovative electronics and guitar. But it was only in 2000, when they decided for this short intermezzo to perform together again under the Ash Ra Tempel banner. Julian Cope (author of \"Krautrock-Sampler\") had invited Göttsching to his \"Cornucopia Festival\" in London, and the two musicians took the offer as a great opportunity for a one-time reunion concert at the Royal Festival Hall on April 2, 2000. Preparing the music for this the concert had also led to a new studio album recording entitled \"Friendship\". Both of the recordings, the studio album as well as the live recording from the London concert \"Gin Rosé\", had been originally released in 2000 in a small edition, which was sold out very soon. The studio-album \"Friendship\" had already been re-released in 2014 (CD). Now, and due to the many requests, here it is again - after 20 years, the re-release of the long-awaited live-album \"Gin Rosé\". Göttsching and Schulze blend tradition and vision, and they do not simply reanimate ideas of the 1970ies. The spirit of this unique liaison is reflected in every single note of this still up-to-date concert, showing these two musicians playing joyful, familiar and undeterred.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42528460439637,"sku":"4260017596224","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/ash-ra-tempel-gin-rose-at-the-royal-festival-hall-1500x1500.png?v=1780197241"},{"product_id":"broadcast-haha-sound","title":"Broadcast - Haha Sound","description":"Broadcast - HAHA SOUND","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42528472301653,"sku":"801061810610","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/broadcast-haha-sound-3915889.jpg?v=1779840546"},{"product_id":"chrome-canyon-director","title":"Chrome Canyon - Director","description":"Vinyl LP pressing.

The second of two albums Cocteau Twins released via Fontana \/ Capitol Records after their long association with 4AD ended in 1990 with Heaven or Las Vegas, the band warmed the waters for Milk \u0026amp; Kisses with a pair of exceptional EPs where they took their music to new places, Twinlights and Otherness - the first largely acoustic, the second their only sanctioned remixes (done with Seefeel's Mark Clifford). A period of high creativity for the band, renewed after a turbulent time, they recorded and produced Milk \u0026amp; Kisses between their September Sound studio in London and the coastal town of Pors Poulhan in Brittany, France. Featuring the singles 'Tishbite' and 'Violaine' and fan favourites such as 'Serpentskirt' and 'Treasure Hiding', the album is a cathartic listen too with MOJO saying in a glowing review that the album's title \"accurately intimates it's soothing, healing powers.\" Ultimately, Milk \u0026amp; Kisses also proved to be their swan song, bringing the curtain down on 14 years of wonder to leave an incredible legacy that new generations continue to discover to this day. 4AD are delighted to announce that they're working with the band on reissuing both Four Calendar Café and Milk \u0026amp; Kisses in the United States, with CD and black vinyl editions of both titles coming out on January 12th 2024.
