Today The Fresh & Onlys share a video for
"Presence of Mind" from their upcoming LP, directed by Dawn Carol
Garcia. The band just announced a full North American tour in support of
the album, Long Slow Dance, due Sept. 4th on Mexican Summer. The
band will be joined on the tour by Terry Malts, Grass Widow and Quilt. Check
out a sneak peek of a forthcoming documentary on the making of the album here. Also the whole album is streaming now via the Hype
Machine.
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. It's due in North America on Sept. 4
on Mexican Summer.
"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.
