Wax Idols and Terry Malts have set up a Kickstarter to help fund a 20+ stop October/November US tour. The first 10 to pledge more than $50 receive a Wax Idols LP and some button swag designed by both bands. You can donate here. Read our interview with Wax Idols frontwoman Hether Fortune here.
The Glad Birth of Love, out via Empty Cellar Records (regular release August 23rd), features oboe and flute performances by Amber Lamprecht (Honey Dew) and John Dwyer (TheeOh Sees) and contributions from other local artists including The Sandwitches and Citay. Play a clip of “Daylight Moon” below. Cohen recently told Michelle Broder Van Dyke from SFGate, ”I’m hoping to tour with ‘Magic Trick’ later in the year, but my touring schedule with the Fresh & Onlys is getting crazy - so fingers crossed.”
