If it feels like it's been a while since you heard from Earlimart, it's not just your imagination. The California indie rock band have been on hiatus, but now they're getting ready to follow up 2008's Hymn and Her with a new LP. Entitled System Preferences, it will be out digitally on September 18 via the band's own label, the Ship. Vinyl and CD copies will follow on October 16.
According to a press release, System Preferences is a "lush and lovely soundtrack for a sad, beautiful world" that "touches on disillusionment with and acceptance of technology, complex relationships, and lost weekends." It's reportedly not a huge departure from the band's previous six albums, although they have "grown as songwriters and producers."
