Emeralds: “Photosphere”
One record, two sides, two songs = one song per side.
You don’t have to be good at math to enjoy the long, hard, drone vamping on Emerald’s latest LP Solar Bridge. Our highlighted track “Photosphere” is a 17:00 digital bonus. Given the calculations above, you can understand why it wasn’t part of the release. But you can listen to it here on Hump Day News. Shout out to the brilliant blue album cover design contrasted against the yellow wax of the vinyl record. I mean, you could save a dollar and get the black vinyl version, but what’s the point?
