New - Sleeves, The - The Sleeves - LP

"The Sleeves are the duo of Jack Cooper and Tara Cunningham, both likely known to you as one half of Modern Nature. Following an all-instrumental Mossy Tapes release, Cooper and Cunningham have recorded 10 new songs showcasing their vocal and guitar interplay with only the faintest echoes of prior efforts (individually or collectively), representing a fully realized leap forward from their largely improvised debut. The Sleeves is a somewhat counter intuitive take on the guitar/vocal duo formula, though it's not nearly as simplistic as 'the space between the notes' -- it would be the height of exaggeration to say an album this simultaneously expansive and incandescent is unprecedented."
