I wouldn’t necessarily call Glossary’s album, “The Better Angels of our Nature” as their “new” album. The album has been out for almost 2 years now. come on twang!
@ Anonymous it’s true. The release if from 2007. It wasn’t shown on their AllMusic page so I assumes (yeah I know) that was new.
it’s a really rad album though…can’t wait for “Feral Fire” in a few months…
