After 2011's wonderful Songs on Pain and Leisure, TW Walsh (of Pedro the Lion) thought his solo career had come to a close. Facing illness and a debilitating broken elbow barring him from making music nearly entirely, there was no plan and little hope for a follow-up album. But alas! Today we announce a new full-length!
Check out the first single "Young Rebels" via CMJ and ready yourself for the release of Fruitless Research on Graveface Records February 12.
"Jenny Gillespie's 'Part Potawatomi' is a soothing cut steeped strongly in the folk tradition. Catchy stripped-back guitars and expressive classical string sections work brilliantly with the piece and allow space for her vocals to shine, whilst the tender narrative becomes almost tangible." - Cai Trefor for The Line of Best Fit

"There’s musical nods to EDM, electronica, hip-hop and even touches of operatic indie rock; you’ve got to take your hats off to the group’s ability to incorporate so much into their music, yet still make it accessible to pop fans. It’s, dare I say, the “total” package, musically speaking."
