Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Deep breath: It's been nearly 20 years of high marks for Mr. Lars Aldric Finberg, shocking as that calculation may be to make. Whether a basher in A-Frames and Thee Oh Sees, secret weapon of Wounded Lion, architect of Puberty and administrator of The Intelligence, his whirlwind presence has been a reliable one; that of an artist whom people look for and look toward. With outlets as varied (be they casual or all-consuming) as this, what, oh what, then prompted the emergence of a solo offering? In truth, In The Red's outta-nowhere green-lighting of the concept sent Finberg's brain bubbling toward Moonlight Over Bakersfield, a statement of entirely his own concoction... A truly swirling step from a guy who's always movin' diagonally.
