Remembrance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMinneapolis' Real Numbers return with a new full length album, the gorgeously pop-tastic “Was It Always This Way”. Ten expectant, exuberant songs mixing hope and despair, the future and the past, all set to the sounds of late-80s\/early-90s UK indiepop. While definitely picking up where their 2021 EP \"Brighter Then\" left off, the emphasis this time is on multi-layered guitars intended to complement the wistful and melancholy tracks with glittering awe.“Was It Always This Way” refines Real Numbers' already-stunning songs, polishing the tunes into a swooningly perfect album that recalls 90s antecedents like Field Mice and St Christopher, as well as fellow pop practitioners like Ducks Ltd, Chime School and The Umbrellas. Album highlights like \"Darling\" and \"Never Never Again\" show that Real Numbers stand tall with their influences, paying close attention to the past while taking their art straight into the future with assurance and flair.Product DetailsArtist: Real NumbersTitle: Was It Always This WayCatalogue Number: LPSLR307Barcode: 749846030719Label: SLUMBERLAND RECORDSTracklistingA1.
