San Francisco’s Cindy have been making gorgeous, delicate slowcore for years, and they’re extremely good at it. We last heard from them when they released the 2024 EP Swan Lake, and now they’ve announced plans to follow it with a new LP called Another Country. This is the first time that frontwoman Karina Gill has kept the same band lineup together from the last record. Here’s what Gill says about the new album in the Bandcamp description:
The title of this record, Another Country, refers to the James Baldwin novel of that name. The book has a kind of drama that makes sense to me. When I look around, the obvious explanations are not enough. The miasma of feelings and ideas that are supposed to account for it, doesn’t. Baldwin washes past all that to longings that begin to explain. Cindy songs come out of the x-rays my particular brain makes out of what I see and experience. What you hear on this record is the result of collaboration with the members of Cindy that transforms that shadowy thing into full color, fully fleshed. Each of them, in music, is sure-footed and unblinking and making this record together felt like, “yes, yes, you see what I mean.”
Gill directed the video for lead single “Procession,” a hushed, gorgeous, reverb-drenched old-school pop ballad that David Lynch would’ve loved. Check out that video and the Another Country tracklist below.
