‘Long Slow Dance’ is the band’s fourth album and marks a new shapeshifting sound for the band. According to the band and label, ‘Long Slow Dance’ 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.
The album was recorded on the same reel-to-reel that Warren Zevon used to record the amazing ‘Werewolves of London’. It’s both the San Francisco act’s most cohesive work to date and a sprawling selection of stoner-anthems.
