Double vinyl LP pressing. 2016 release from the Dublin, Ireland-based indie rock outfit. Little Green Cars' sophomore album, Ephemera, produced by Rob Kirwan, (Hozier) is a gorgeous grown-up record about, well, growing up. A dozen exquisitely-crafted, exceptionally-sung songs shimmer with the myriad emotions the band has been through - restlessness, regret, love, heartbreak, hope and acceptance among them. Now all in their early 20s, the band have spent the last three years of their lives touring with Hozier, Jake Bugg and others on the heels of their widely acclaimed 2013 debut, Absolute Zero.
Double diamond-patterned black vinyl, housed in gatefold sleeve.

This is an album that rewards full-length listening: tracks flow into one another with a strong sense of pacing, inviting the listener to immerse themselves in a cohesive artistic vision rather than just individual singles.
