Even As We Speak Black Forest LP Vinyl

Limited ten inch vinyl pressing. 2017 EP from the indie pop/twee outfit. Sarah Records stalwarts return with their first new recordings since 1993. Even as We Speak are from Sydney, Australia. Formed in the mid-1980s, and resisting neat labels, the band's music is a quirky hybrid of accessible pop, ironic interjections, and experimental moments. Following the demise of the Sarah Records, the label achieved cult status and in 2015 was named #2 in NME's 20 Greatest Indie Labels of All Time. A documentary My Secret World: The Story of Sarah Records appeared in 2013, followed by the 2015 book PopKiss: The Life and Afterlife of Sarah Records on Bloomsbury. This flurry of interest in the Sarah Records discography generated renewed interest in the band, with requests flowing in to reform to play festival shows and offers of new recording opportunities. Enthused about playing together again, the band returned to the studio to record The Black Forest. The result is a package of pure pop gems every bit as good as anything in their back catalogue. This release marks a new phase of creative activity for the band.
