Details: Vinyl LP pressing. Tears Run Rings is a long-distance relationship. In another life, these old friends were in the breezy, mid-90's indie pop combo The Autocollants, and founded the renowned indie label Shelflife Records. Now, separated by the cities of Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, they collaborate through the magic of the internet. The band records in three separate studios, transferring tracks back and forth over the wires until they are perfect. In Surges, their third album, has been six years in the making. Over that time span, the band met up on several occasions to write, record, and mix the album together, in between starting families and recording separately. Full of lush guitars, haunting melodies, and layered, shimmering vocals, In Surges picks up where Distance left off.
