After twenty years of releasing critically well-received albums and touring only very sporadically, word is finally branching out to folks beyond an exclusive circle of writers and editors about the black watch. More to the point, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer recently remarked about “the simple beauty of the black watch’s shimmering pop songs,” referring to the band as “A marvelous confection that harks back to mid-period Beatles, The Soft Boys, and a sort of west coast Yo La Tengo.” LP version contains a download code, CD contains a best of bonus disc.
