Charles Spear) are said to be “excited to announce their debut album out May 17th on Ernest Jenning Record Co”. Here’s a whole load of links including the Bandcamp one (which always seems a better way of supporting the bands and the label that just playing it on Spotify if you ask me). They’ve announced the album due out next month by releasing one track, there it is on Bandcamp along with more details on terms of the album

“Animal, Surrender! is Peter Kerlin (Sunwatchers and Chris Forsyth & Solar Motel Band) and drummer Rob Smith (Grey/Smith, Rhyton, Pigeons, D. Charles Spear). Kerlin leads the duo through a set of bass-driven compositions and interpretations, incorporating spare electronics through a post-rock/weird-folk trance with intricate and sometimes blasted interplay between the rhythm section. The project’s title refers to the ambiguous creatureliness of the human animal: How in trying to kill the animal within we eradicated all wildness on the planet; How in our never-ending evasion of any discomfort we guaranteed the destruction of all that sustains us. It’s about other things too, like falling outs among friends and how even if it’s the end it’s not the end. Their self-titled debut will be released on Ernest Jenning Record Co. in 2024.
