Just saw them in concert last night - great concert! One of the better concerts I've been to. Played a good mix of old and new. And a great way to end the concert with the encore of Mariner's Revenge Song, complete with a huge whale cutout that came and "swallowed" all the band as they played.

Nice, I was wondering if they took the whale on tour with them - or if it was a hometown crowd only thing.

New album I'll Be Your Girl is out tomorrow. Currently up on NPR: https://www.npr.org/2018/03/12/59236...l-be-your-girl
It has been a few years since I've seen them and I haven't listened heavily to their output since Hazards of Love (love the stuff earlier than that), but they are playing a show pretty close to, so I'll probably go.

there aren't many bands I would say this about but this is a band I would welcome a greatest hits compilation from
I usually enjoy their "singles" but have never been a fan of any of their long players from front to back

This album uses a lot of synths and a dig it.

The Crane Wife remains one of the very best albums of the 2000s.
