During the London Virtual Weekender in March 2021, we performed a special Heaven is Whenever set during soundcheck. It was a way of reimagining the HIW record as if we had we recorded it with Franz and Steve. It’s not a track by track recreation- it includes some b-sides and other material written around the record, and leaves a few out. Basically, a re-thinking of Heaven is Whenever. Performed live in front of an empty Brooklyn Bowl, we are now offering this special archival release on Bandcamp. We really love how it turned out, we hope you will enjoy. Stay Positive.
On Monday, June 19th, from midnight to midnight PT, we’ll echo Bandcamp by participating in their fourth annual Juneteenth fundraiser, where we’ll also donate 100% of our share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a racial justice organization with a long history of effectively enacting change through litigation, advocacy, and public education.
Released June 19th, 2023
