Classic "Still Corners", dreamy, melodic.
I've loved these guys since 2013 Strange Pleasures album.
The artwork here looks like the West Coast skies for the past month.
"The Last Exit" is well-timed. ;)

about
'The Last Exit' is the final chapter of the Still Corners Road Trilogy. What began with 'The Trip' and was followed by 'The Message' concludes with the stunning ‘The Last Exit’. The video, inspired by the 1975 film Picnic at Hanging Rock, finds Tessa pulled into the mysterious rocks of Joshua Tree. Tessa explains -
"In a world where everyone thinks all the corners of the map are filled in we like to suggest there's something beyond that, something eternal in the landscape and in our psyche. Maybe you don't see it every day but it's there and that's what we are trying to connect to."
With a galloping beat, teardrop vocals and the silver-tone guitar the band has become known for, ‘The Last Exit’ races down a lonely highway to destination unknown. Beautifully crafted with a grand piano ending, the record will remind you of another world beyond the one you see.

Lyrics
I've never been this far from home
I've got you on my mind
I've been driving through the darkness
Got no destination in mind
And it's a shame that I had to disappear
The last exit
I'm drifting off to nowhere
The past an echo on my mind
In the middle of the desert
The devil trailing just behind
And it's a shame that I had to disappear
The last exit
My eyes are getting heavy
My will is almost done
The clouds above are gatherin'
Thunder rolling like a drum
And it's a shame that I had to disappear
The last exit
Home, I’m almost home

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

Fun, bright post-punk that emulates the bands I grew up with so well that I honestly had to check and make sure the album wasn't a re-release from 1984. So glad this came up in my recommended feed. modestwriggles
