spankenhaus I bought Gobs On the Midway on a whim, in the mid 90’s. It remained a favourite album and this one has the same wonderfully ‘loose’ quality I enjoyed from back then. Favorite track: The Hand That Plays Calliope.

MingTubbs i-Sasquatch long having clubbed the Wee-folk, wonderful surprise to have a Ben Franklin Airbath!

Otis Nugatory A friend turned me on to SF's in the 90's, been in love ever since. This charming, sweet album's as good as anything they've done--not sure if they're still calling it "skiffle pop." Here's hoping that their 2nd-to-last LP eventually gets a digital relase... same for The Caul, their 20-minute EP that still rattles around in my skull; I have $ ready to give these fine folks for these items. Across the Susquehanna is utterly unique and whimsical in the best sense of those terms!

about

Fourteen brand new instant classics from Philadelphia’s original purveyors of fractured psychedelic shanty rock. Pared down to the original duo & every bit as potent they were in the days of The Demiurge, Bob Malloy and Bob Dickie assembled Across the Susquehanna in their private isolations in the year 2020 -- literally traversing the mighty Susquehanna River via the ether as they crafted the album. What they’ve come up with is yet another in the deep canon of Fieldhands classics, an album of uneasy lullabies rich with Barrett-damaged melodies, spare arrangements as likely to feature a horn section as an overdriven strat, and Malloy’s ever evolving vision of a timeless pastoral psychedelia. To those who have been following the Fieldhands from the beginning, this new one will prove an essential piece of the intricate puzzle. To those searching for an entrance into this hidden world, the way in is Across the Susquehanna.

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album. BikeBoy29
