Drifting into unexplored territories of dreamy guitar workouts while expanding their instrumentation to include flute, synths, and organs, they hit fresh strides on this 11-song set. Side one’s shorter run-times fight against the current with frenetic agitation, while side two’s meditative, melancholy songs welcome death’s sweet embrace. Tough Age’s sound has come a long way from the buzzy bubblegum garage-rock of their 2013 debut. The influence of New Zealand and Australia is still evident, to the point of Clark teasing Samson’s obsession with being signed to Flying Nun on the ripping “Penny Current Suppression Ring.” Yet Tough Age also introduce new colours into their musical palette, from the hooky Television Personalities punk of “My Life’s A Joke & I’m Throwing It Away” to the placid calm of “Repose”. “Possession” welcomes guest musician Claire Paquet on flute, nodding to the twee-pop of Look Blue Go Purple and pastoral textures of early King Crimson. “Patience of Mind” is perhaps the furthest diversion from Tough Age’s original sound, with expansive guitar passages in the tradition of Jim O’Rourke era Sonic Youth. Samson highlights yet another classic American indie-rock band that he credits with the confidence to patiently transform Tough Age’s sound. “Maybe the biggest musical inspiration over the last few albums has been The Feelies,” he says. “Not necessarily in terms of songwriting or feel but in how they evolved and changed during the course of their career”. “The way they expand on the ‘Pink Frost’ form-concept will make any Kiwi fanatic fill a drool cup in appreciation.” – The Wire “Perfect guitar pop that feels like both a throwback to the very best of 80s/90s indie rock – from The Bats to The Feelies – as well as a worthy successor to such a legacy.” – Tiny Mix Tapes For fans of: The Clean, The Feelies, The Bats, Cate le Bon Artist Tough Age Genre Rock And Pop Label Mint Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Sting The Best of 25 Years Rock And Pop | A&M | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th May 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sting The Best of 25 Years £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: A&M SKU: 602527902210 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mick Karn Each Eye A Patch Rock And Pop | Kscope | 180g, 1LP Released 7th August 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mick Karn Each Eye A Patch £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE900 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 7th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lydia Ainsworth Darling Of The Afterglow Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 31st March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lydia Ainsworth Darling Of The Afterglow £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA626V Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Lou Reed Words & Music, May 1965 Rock And Pop | Light In The Attic | 1LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th August 2022 £28.00 - £95.00 Select options Lou Reed Words & Music, May 1965 £28.00 - £95.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Light In The Attic Formats: 1LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th August 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Nuha Ruby Ra My Voice / Eggshells Rock And Pop | Zen F.C. | 7", Single Released 11th November 2022 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nuha Ruby Ra My Voice / Eggshells £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Zen F.C.
