2011, Dry Wood Music
VINYL FORMAT. "This Machine" b/w "Foolish Hand Shake."
The inscrutable and completely random recent output by Paul Westerberg is apparently going to continue with the just announced release of a 7-inch featuring a batch of new songs attributed to Westerberg, now evidently recording under the moniker Mr. F. This 7-inch continues Westerberg's trend of having little to no fanfare in regards to his recent creative output, having dropped the completely unexpected (and entirely amazing) 49:00 on his unsuspecting fans in 2008 without barely any notice at all, finishing the album in his basement one week and making it available the next. Other than some miscellaneous archive material and casual singles released via TuneCore and Amazon, as well as the six-song EP Westerberg released in 2009, PW & The Ghost Gloves Cat Wing Joy Boys, Paul has been pretty silent. Until now, that is. The cover of the 7-inch also alludes to Son of a Depression, which is apparently "coming soon." What that means, exactly, is anybody's guess. But judging by how and when Westerberg has released his music lately, it won't be something we expect and it will be entirely on his terms. His fans wouldn't want it any other way. – Gimme Noise
