Tween

• Track Listing

Vinyl LP pressing includes digital download. Tween is a collection of eight songs born, raised, and almost abandoned for various reasons during the years between 2011's breakthrough Civilian and 2014's reinvention-of-sorts, Shriek. Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack described these songs as "not emblematic of a step forward, but a step sideways in time." In other words, they just didn't make sense for album number five-which will happen at some point in the future. But just because they didn't belong there doesn't mean they don't belong anywhere. To wedge them onto Shriek would've been dishonest; to orphan them would've been somewhere on the line between criminal and just plain silly.
