The Hermit Thrushes are from Philadelphia and play some rad mathy tones that remind my Longstreth saturated ears of a Glad-Fact era Dirty Projectors, which is a very good thing. I had the opportunity to the see the Thrushes live a few weeks ago with the all too talented Extra Life, and they brought it very hard.

The band had been on an extensive tour, and tired as they were, the synergies of their compositional energy came through. As Anthony Braxton would say, the vibrational vectors were more than flowing that night. Anyway, “Fourth” is a pretty good indicator of their sound, and I’m sorry to harp on D-lo shit, but I can’t get it away from the “Winter is Here” resemblance. Enjoy it responsibly.
