Stream Little May For The Company (Stereogum Premiere)

Moody Sydney trio Little May recorded their new album For The Company in a converted nineteenth-century church in upstate New York. This feels totally appropriate — their music has a sense of drama to it, a stateliness and a dark romanticism befitting the echoey chambers of a place that looks like this. Their self-titled debut EP merged ghostly folk music with swelling pop arrangements, and with the help of the National’s Aaron Dessner — who both recorded and produced the new album and adds a healthy dose of indie rock to the proceedings — For The Company sounds even more expansive, while somehow less obvious in its emotional peaks and valleys. To put it simply, it’s lovely. We’ve already heard early singles “Home” and “Seven Hours,” and now you can stream the whole thing below ahead of its official release tomorrow.
