Long Slow Dance is The Fresh &amp; Onlys’ fourth album in as many years. The quartet—Tim Cohen, Shayde Sartin, Wymond Miles, and Kyle Gibson— has dozens of other releases under their belts: seven-inches, tapes, and EPs for labels like In The Red, Woodsist, Castle Face, Captured Tracks, and Sacred Bones. Last year, the gang spent three months playing shows and festivals just in Europe (where, let’s face it, people have better taste, at least as far as American music and weird cheese are concerned). Far be it from us to tell you that this is one of the best records of the year. (It probably totally is, but that’s for you to figure out for yourself.) Long Slow Dance is a mature, anthemic and—in subtle ways—pretty weird album. A lot is going on here, but it’s not in your face about it. While not their first time in a “real” studio, it’s instantly clear that their time spent at Phil Manley’s Lucky Cat Studios was the most fun and focused recording environment the group’s been in. “We spent more time recording this than we had on records in the past,” bassist and co-founder Shayde Sartin says.” “Phil Manley certainly had a good influence on us in the studio; he’s very meticulous with the kind of sound he’s trying to get for each song, and the record definitely has its own vibe,” he says. The tunes were captured on the same 16-track two-inch reel-to-reel that Warren Zevon recorded “Werewolves of London.” “That was a very important song for me growing up, so it was inspiring in some mysterious way to know that we were tracking on that very machine,” Shayde explains.
