Lorelei may not be one of the most iconic outfits to release music through the venerable Slumberland imprint in the '90s, but the DC group's old dream pop tunes still fit in nicely on a themed playlist between Velocity Girl and the Lilys. Now, 17 years after issuing their last album, Everyone Must Touch the Stove, the group are back with a follow-up, Enterprising Sidewalks.
The album arrives August 14 via Slumberland, and it apparently picks up where the trio left off in the '90s, "serving up ten gorgeously complex exercises in pummelling rhythms and melodic abstraction" in the process, according to the press release.
Enterprising Sidewalks was recorded by Archie Moore (Velocity Girl, Black Tambourine) and Ben Bailes (Chessie) and mixed by Guy Fixsen (My Bloody Valentine, Laika), and said to feature tuneful tracks like "Hammer Meets Tongs" and "Sorry for The Patience" that deliver "rhythmic twists and melodic intrigue."
You can check out the ornate, opening jangler "Hammer Meets Tongs," which drops a reference to the album in its second verse, in the stream down below.
