It's always a good day when we get a new release by Norway-based I Was A King. Frode Strømstad has been busy with side projects like Beachheads and Rider. He and his bandmate, Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen, also appeared on Yep Roc's excellent The No Ones album back in 2020.
People (myself included) often compare I Was A King to Teenage Fanclub (reminder: Norman Blake produced 2019's "Slow Century"). As with TFC, I Was A King pop-song mastery has not changed even if their music has mellowed a little over the years.
I'm assuming this is released on Coastal Town Recordings.
