"Manhattan": a new single available to stream now out from the forthcoming album Love & Weather (2021)

Stream this song on your preferred platform. 'Manhattan’ shows a love for melody and discord thrown together. It's about idle moments in New York City, hanging out in Soho talking about Canadian comedians, and trying to get invited to Thurston Moore's birthday party (in vain).

Love & Weather (2021) refers obliquely to the need for compassion in an exploding world. It also refers to the mundane but essential forces of the elements, intimacy, and the social. The album was recorded in Glasgow, UK, with Thorpe on voice, guitars, and keyboards; Rory Haye on bass VI; Owen Curtis Williams on drums. Recorded and mixed by Luigi Pasquini of Dystopia Glasgow.

Cover art by Australian Angelica Mesiti and music videos by Ashes Withyman, Mathew McWilliams, and Josh Thorpe (w/ footage by Devon Knowles), all with Vancouver roots of some kind.

Clash Magazine online premieres the single 'Manhattan'. A nice little write up to read as well.

Reviews:
"...dynamic tones and kinetic guitar-playing take us veering between moments of brightness and sheer oddness, joy, reflection. [Thorpe] makes us dwell in steady friction, then rewards us with a good crunchy solo."
-Maria Sledmere

"Gently swaying guitars and a warm, Lou Reed-like vocal...."
-Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound
