Longtime Companion

Sonny and the Sunsets, “Longtime Companion” (Polyvinyl, 2012)
I remember earlier stuff from them being more in a Beat Happening-esque primitive-strum-pop vein, but this has a more steady, reserved sound as it moves squarely into country territory, to excellent effect. It has an austere, almost timeless quality, illuminated by a feeling of mountain brightness.
