$20.00
Central Heat Exchange is the sound of four co-writers and a deep list of special features (Sun June, Lala Lala, Fran, + more) scattered by distance, time, and circumstance. Their self-titled debut — out September 10th via Birthday Cake Media/Citrus City Records/Sunroom Records — is a pastiche of dream-like memories and rich melodies, unabashedly harkening back to the sounds of early-aughts indie heroes like Stereolab, Yo La Tengo, Broken Social Scene, and Neutral Milk Hotel. Recorded in separate bedrooms across North America’s central time zone and mostly mixed together by Ben Lumsdaine (Major Murphy, Varsity, Kevin Krauter, Amy O, EZTV), the album reconstructs a sense of communal possibility during a time when the very idea of community—especially in music—was dislocated, wrenched from its foundation in venues and practice spaces and, like so much else during this pandemic, deposited online.
