– From a Rob Woodruff press release –
album hit stores today! we had to make a special trip to town for a camp copy.
“it’s always fun to go into town, even if it’s only for an hour” – have you seen wet hot american summer? hilarious!
Album is not out yet! Heard the whole thing streamed, and only a couple of times. It’s a breather – meaning they are good, hit all the highs and plumb all the lows, but they aren’t breaking with any formulas here. It’s not “Being There”.
wilco review! STAT.
