There are songs about everyday things,
such as broken hearts,
messy rooms,
ferry boats,
airplanes, walking around
and a whole lot of trying to make light
of all sorts of
situations.
Shelley Short (US) and The Weather Station (CA) lend their wonderful vocals to a track each, making this the most international record in the Lisbon-based band's history.
With art by longtime collaborator José Feitor, and graphic design by Pedro Serpa, Stretch is available on CD, vinyl and as a digital album.
