After nearly a decade, classic 4AD band Tarnation, led by the angelic Paula Frazer, returns with a brand new studio album. Inspired by events that happened during one summer in San Francisco, August's Song is a heartbreaking, beautiful testament to love and loss, with a touch of redemption at the end. Like classic Tarnation, Frazer blends alternative country roots with dark, psychedelic tones and warm instrumental accompaniments that perfectly frame her ethereal voice. August's Song is a return to form for those who miss Tarnation, and an incredible starter for beginners.
