Long Slow Dance, The Fresh & Onlys' fourth highly
anticipated album, brings a great new shapeshifting sound. This thing's a
breakthrough; the band are joyous, confident--almost dangerous. Due in North
America on Sept. 4 on Mexican Summer, that's the cover art above and the track
list is below.
"LSD" is a mature, anthemic and-in subtle
ways-pretty weird album teaming with Morricone-esque flourishes and seemingly
disparate genre elements. "We spent more time recording this than we had
on records in the past," bassist and co-founder Shayde Sartin says.
"Phil Manley certainly had a good influence on us in the studio; he's very meticulous with the kind of sound he's trying to get for each song, and the record definitely has its own vibe," he says.

Recorded on the same reel-to-reel that the influential
Warren Zevon did "Werewolves of London," these instantly compelling
songs demand multiple listens. It's both the San Francisco act's most cohesive
work to date and a sprawling selection of stoner-anthems.
