Lou says about the album: “This album is me really opening up, and the album follows that through its many different themes,” Barlow says. “Some of my other work could be almost claustrophobic in its insistence on being all tied together but there’s space for people to live inside these songs.” Watch the video via Stereogum HERE
Stereogum premiered the LP yesterday, saying “Over the course of a dozen songs, Riggs taps into a somber meditative vibe that rarely lets up no matter how often the instrumentation shifts. A couple years ago, upon the release of their GODKILLER album, Riggs was describing their aesthetic as “Sad Queer Songs and Sometimes Angry Queer Songs.” That still tracks, but the new album brims with a certain contented warmth, too, embodied by the domestic scene Riggs paints on “Long Light Mantle.” It’s a reminder that there are many different ways to sigh.” Check it out HERE!
“TENGGER was the most magical of all the performances I watched — and also the one that worked best on a screen and would have been hardest to imagine in a noise-filled venue.” Watch their SXSW video HERE
