The long-awaited new 7-inch from Everything Is Recorded, the collaborative project led by Richard Russell, head of the legendary XL Recordings — still lingering in memory is their sensational 2017 debut "Close But Not Quite (feat. Sampha)," where that wistful falsetto phrase from Curtis Mayfield's classic "The Makings Of You" lands on the hook at the perfect moment.
This one features Noah Cyrus — the up-and-coming US modern country-rock singer whose father is country star Billy Ray Cyrus and whose sister is global pop icon Miley Cyrus — alongside Bill Callahan, the distinctive singer-songwriter and one of Drag City's leading talents, also known for his work as SMOG. Callahan's original demo vocal, pitched down and laid over layer upon layer of sub-bass, is beautifully offset by Cyrus's crystalline counterpart vocal, resulting in a hazy, daydreaming acid-folk screwed country-rock gem with deep, drone-laden flavor.
