Description
The Vacation from Thought b/w Give it Back 7″” is the first new music from Cass McCombs following the August release of his new LP Heartmind (ANTI-), and the first Weak Signal release following their album War And War (Colonel Records) earlier this year. Recorded to tape with few overdubs by Philip Weinrobe (Adrienne Lenker, Florist) and mastered by Carl Saff, the record achieves a warm, hard-hitting sound that is perfectly suited to the 45 RPM 7″” format. Advance single, “”Vacation from Thought”” written and sung by McCombs, features a driving motorik drum beat from Tran, ripping guitar figures from legend, Mike Bones, and precision backing vocals and bass work from Sasha Vine who keeps pace with Cass as they take the listener on a trip to witness yet unseen birds, primordial “”red-clay mud”” and much more. The B-Side is the Weak Signal written, and Mike Bones sung “”Give It Back,”” a devotional love song with a scorching guitar riff that will get stuck in your head for days. As with the best 45s, the Vacation from Thought b/w Give it Back 7″” is truly a “”Double A-Side.””
