Public Service Broadcasting  The Last Flight

The album closes with the absolutely haunting “Howland,” named for the island where Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were supposed to stop to refuel. Clocking in at eight and a half minutes and ending with actual field recordings of the island itself, it’s a worthy and mournful ending to a tragic story Under The Radar

Burning down the industry with a reinvigorated competitive spirit Consequence Of Sound

Kim Deal  Nobody Loves You More

Sounds both like it could have been a long-lost session from 1996 and, somehow, perfectly of the moment Consequence Of Sound
