The Weeks “Two Moons” 2019. Romanus Records, limited edition (50) Glow-In-the-Dark Sand-Filled vinyl (first of its kind!). Two Moons is The Weeks’ 7th release (also available on Crooked Letter Records though probably not on nearly as cool vinyl); they’ve been around since 2006 when guys were young teens. Hailing from Mississippi, The Weeks are an indie/alternative band with a southern twinge. It’s hard to avoid Kings of Leon comparisons: southern indie rock composed of siblings (The Weeks have twins Cain and Cyle Barnes, Kings of Leon has a slew of Followills) plus The Weeks signed to Kings of Leon’s label Serpents and Snakes, putting out two albums in 2012 and 2013. (All of that said, I really like The Weeks and not so much Kings of Leon, mainly because of the vocals. Cyle Barnes vocals are rich and melodic while I find Caleb Followill’s voice whiny and irritating. Sorry!) My top tracks on Two Moons are “Paper Mache Houses,” a really lovely anthemic indie ballad, “Comin’ Down,” a hard-driving rocker (those two tracks I blogged about previously after getting the single on a coffee-and-creamer filled 45, also on Romanus Records), “Believe Whatever,” another rocker, “Scared of the Sunshine” which has a fabulously groovy bass line and little tinges of southern psychedelia, and “Fools Gold” which reminds me a bit of Pearl Jam with a little less grunge.

Here it is, all glow-in-the-dark!
