Out on May 15th via Thrill Jockey is the new album and collaboration from Portland duo Golden Retriever and Oakland guitarist Chuck Johnson, and from it they’ve share the albums first single, ‘Empty Quarter’.

As the sounds are allowed to bleed together into these deliciously gloopy, frayed texture.
