“Being in a band stunted our growth [laughs]. We were able to be kids — catered, driven around, here’s everything you need to party. We’re still the same in that respect, but I was just really impressed with how the band performed and played in the studio this time. And I’m getting more comfortable with myself as far as writing, and I’m getting older. I’ve always had doubts about myself writing as a young guy, ‘cause I like old men that write.”
“"Eons," built on dusty arpeggios and the quiver of singer Nate Lacy, is a house with a fire inside of it, a quietly urgent album that demands a close listen."

“When done right, power-pop strikes a balance between wistful nostalgia and the joy of possibility. That’s certainly the case with Split Single and its debut LP, “Fragmented World.” For this album, frontman Jason Narducy — a longtime Bob Mould band mate who was also in the underrated Chicago band Verbow — enlisted Spoon’s Britt Daniel on bass and Superchunk’s Jon Wurster on drums. Naturally, “Fragmented World” combines bulldozing power-punk snarls, ’90s indie-rock grit and summery pop whispers. The results are at once dogged by melancholy and sweetened by optimism.” Read more HERE.

"Seattle band Fox And The Law have a third album ready to complete and it’s due on October 21st. It’s called Stoned To Death, so no one is getting high (yet) and no one is being beaten (not to my knowledge)."
