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 Benny Sings Young Hearts Rock And Pop | Stones Throw | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th March 2023 £25.00 - £26.00 Select options Benny Sings Young Hearts £25.00 - £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Stones Throw Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th March 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Miles Hunt and Erica Nockalls We Came Here To Work Rock And Pop | Good Deeds Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Hunt and Erica Nockalls We Came Here To Work £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Good Deeds Music SKU: GDM009 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tav Falco & Panther Burns Behind the Magnolia Curtain / Blow Your Top Rock And Pop | Stag-O-Lee | 2LP Released 10th October 2011 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tav Falco & Panther Burns Behind the Magnolia Curtain / Blow Your Top £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Stag-O-Lee SKU: STAGO023LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View k.d. lang Watershed Rock And Pop | Nonesuch | 1LP Released 4th December 2020 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations k.d. lang Watershed £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Nonesuch SKU: 0075597919608 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th December 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View You Me At Six Sinners Never Sleep (10th Anniversary) Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP, 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd June 2022 £20.00 - £36.00 Select options You Me At Six Sinners Never Sleep (10th Anniversary) £20.00 - £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC Formats: 1LP, 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd June 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View EMF Go Go Sapiens Rock And Pop | EMF Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th June 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders EMF Go Go Sapiens £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: EMF Records SKU: EMF004LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Colin Blunstone Ennismore Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 13th January 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Colin Blunstone Ennismore £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP882 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View dEUS Following Sea Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP Released 15th December 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders dEUS Following Sea £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR560LPR Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bill Callahan Have Fun With God Reggae / Dub / Ska | Drag City | 1LP Released 5th February 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bill Callahan Have Fun With God £15.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Drag City SKU: DC571 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marta Del Grandi Until We Fossilize Rock And Pop | Fire Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 5th November 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marta Del Grandi Until We Fossilize £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire Records SKU: FIRELP652 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
