The nautical Bay Area rockers most recently stopped the gap between LPs with a series of seasonally themed 7"s (we sampled Winter), but now they're returning with a proper album to followup 2007's praised All We Could Do Was Sing. Its songs were recorded in two locations: a bedroom in San Fran with Papercuts' Jason Quever, then in a honest to goodness studio Los Angeles with Earlimart's Aaron Espinoza. Up first from the set is "Sour Milk/Salt Water," a steady and tuneful jangle-pop tune which hints at a slightly refined take on their windswept melodrama, ending with some studio guitar trickery that suggests it's from the L.A. session:
