The great new Math and Physics Club compilation ‘In This Together’ (matcd076) is out today!
Longtime fans of the Pacific Northwest indie darlings know the band has never stashed away their lesser material on EPs and b-sides. Some would argue that many of their best songs over the past decade have appeared on exclusive EPs and vinyl-only singles, which is why this compilation of 16 non-album tracks plays like one of the band’s finest full length albums.
Here are a few choice quotes from the pre-release reviews:
“Near-perfect indie pop gems featuring jangling guitars and sprightly rhythms. Newly recorded track ‘Coastal California, 1985’ ranks with their best moments from the past decade.” –All Music Guide
“I want to get out into the sunshine, wind the windows down and drive down leafy country lanes with this album as my soundtrack. So far this is easily the best compilation album of the year and quite possibility the only one you’ll need in 2016.” –Pennyblack Music
“Coastal California, 1985 is one of the Club’s finest compositions yet, transmuting into an unapologetically wide(r)screen sound and a refrain you’ll be humming for days on end. Had it been a single, it would be one of this blooming year’s best.” –In Love With These Times
“There’s something stirring and anthemic in the best of these sweetly melodic, heartfelt and life-affirming songs that keeps you hooked on every word and chord change.” –Sounds XP
“Math and Physics Club are a Pacific Northwest treasure.” –When You Motor Away
“Brand new song ‘Coastal California 1985’ highlights the band’s bouncy guitars and swelling harmonies. Song of the Day!” –3am Revelations
