Some things just keep getting better with age. Football, etc.will hit the ripe old age of six this year, with each year better than the last. Especially since Football, etc.core Linday Minton and Mercy Harper have joined up with veteran drummer Daniel Hawkins (Papermoons, Pswingset). Disappear is the follow up to the 2013 LP Audible and was recorded with legendary producer J. Robbins (The Promise Ring, Jets to Brazil), and features four tracks of the band’s best work. Airy vocals paired with flawless musical execution that breaks new ground for the trio.
