简介 · · · · · · 　　Continuing their self-propelled upward trajectory, the herd announce their fourth album - a melodic opus called 'summerland'…a mythical place where the term 'relaxed and comfortable' thinly veils something sinister, something complex - in which a bright joyous celebration is tempered with a threat. This is where the herd flourishes - that space between joy and melancholy, the absurd and the sinister. The album prospers in this mix: musically, with strings and horn arrangements; drums, guitars, basslines; rhymes and singing - and thematically with the widely varying subjects of the 14 songs. From the deeply affecting "kids learn quick" to the raucous "2020"; from the heart-felt "time to face the truth" to the light hearted "zug zug". The eight band members represent a variety of cultures and influences, creating a unique formation of songwriters. The notable presence of jane tyrrell continues the evolving sound of the herd's music - lovingly devoted to headphones as well as house parties.
