the late virginia summers - porcelain (12inch vinyl lp)

'porcelain' represents a sort of rebirth for TLVS. it's the first time that the band has presented recordings as a two piece (not including last year's HSAL #02, whose a side also appears here). it's also the first time that the band took on all the tracking, mixing, & assembling of an album themselves. the full length (7 songs clocking in at just over 34 minutes) showcases a maturity & reach only flirted with on the group's previous affairs (2007? 'sundowning', 2008? 'winter' EP). at times layered & vibrant ('pebble azalea starfish', 'deep persimmon'), at others somber & fluid ('marbled atlantic', 'twilight wash'), this record is the culmination of a new dream for the late virginia summers.
