Great new project from Glenn Donaldson (Skygreen Leopards et al) and Josh Alper that mainlines the DIY art-pop moves of Dan Treacey’s Television Personalities, Ed Ball’s O Level/The Times et al. Freakbeat psych styles with primitive pro-Mod instrumental settings and a sharp modern art appeal. “The Art Museums ARE into: art, poetry, WHAAM records & films about Mods…The Art Museums ARE NOT into: flared trousers, drip coffee, dirty sneakers.”

First full-length album from the duo of Glenn Donaldson and Loren Chasse since 2004: one side recorded outdoors, one indoors. The indoor stuff orbits the eccentric English avant/folk orbit plotted by players like Richard Youngs and Robert Wyatt, with smudged vocals and intricate, drug-inflected arrangements, while the outdoor material is more expansive, with reverberating electronics and wind instruments recorded in a cavernous hall in the side of a sea cliff. Edition of 500 copies, comes with a free download coupon.
