Town and Country

They are from Chicago and have released some quite beautiful records on Thrill Jockey.

Does anyone know if they're still around?

Yes they are still around. Many of the members play with a billion other bands though. Josh (one of the bassists) is out with Sam Prekop and Underground Duo as we speak.

I really like T&C, especially when there is no trumpet being played. I like when they are melodic and chamber group like, not so much with the 'out' stuff. They are maybe one of favorite Chicago bands right now.... along with Spires That In The Sunset Rise who really caught me off guard a few weeks ago.

That show was...wow. So good and weird and spot on.

I like these guys a good bit.

Really fond of them, especially the first album. A shout for Ben Vida's Bird Show too.

Anyone else completely miss that they released a new record this year?

CRAP!
