Welcome Convalescence

When Centro-Matic is not exploring the outer fringes of indie rock, they're traveling the long, dusty highway that leads here. This is a sparsely performed collection of relaxed and moody ghost songs. Will Johnson sings with such breathiness that maybe he's just talkin' in his sleep. Dreamy arrangements that allow one to be lost in space, with sweeping pedal steel, lazy electric guitars, and a variety of who knows what sounds. Heavenly.
