The Listening Club - 13th July 2025

Greetings folks,

Hope you're all doing pretty good. Been a week of sunshine and showers here, not too much of one or the other, which is really how we like it, right? Also it's been good to have the weekend ending with a surprise free (and excellent) open-air saxophone quartet concert just round the corner - and thankfully inbetween rain showers, too - sometimes Amsterdam's little attempts to drop bits of culture around the neighbourhoods works out just fine, it really does.

Last Sunday chez #LC saw @ThatNewSound in the chair delivering Ditz's latest album "Never Exhale", which hit the spot for many of the assembled. Thanks extended for the pick, and for sailing the frisb across to @Soundclamp, who's got this to say by way of introduction to today's pick...

"Say you look like you could use a break, pal. This week’s pick is from a lesser-known yet equally deserving Chicago-based band. This is actually their last album from *checks notes* 1996 where their transition into post-rock music was nearly complete. What you get is something that sometimes sounds melancholy, sometimes bouncy, but always beautiful. Really, it’s the perfect balm for these hot summer days. If we had yacht rock or roséwave in the 90s it would be fair to call them that, too.

Recommended drink is your favorite fruity cocktail with or without the alcohol and a large umbrella."

Right then, download's here, stream's below:

See you 20:00 BST (GMT+1) later today.
