Following the Affair EP from 2010 and recently signed to Vagrant, the Chicagoan four-piece California Wives have put all the faves that we’ve heard (and a bunch we haven’t) in their highly anticipated debut: Art History. Working with producer Claudius Mittendorfer (Interpol, Neon Indian, Wild Nothing), they’ve created an album that “comes from a relatable place of losing one’s youth”, according to frontman Jayson Kramer.
I can’t really express how much I’ve been looking forward to this release…. I’ve been waiting patiently for their full length record that I can just put on repeat. Make sure to catch them on tour this fall…. maybe they will strike a chord with you as well.
Listen the the full album below, or pick it up on Amazon.
