this mini-lp is the first release from providence, rhode island’s time thief, the new project of james from dump him and zoë from halfsour/zowy. approaching songwriting in a more symbiotic way than on their last collab (dump him’s 2016 venus in gemini), the two switch off on vocal and instrument duties throughout. each song is inspired by different records from the pair’s vast collection (including eddy current, dolly mixture, boomgates, henry’s dress, and the field mice); the result is a record that doesn’t sound like it’s quite trying to be anything else other than what it is.* these 6 tracks were recorded and mixed by james (with help from zoë) and mastered by caufield schnug. split release with lost sound tapes!
bandcamp download code included!
