Out today on Northern Spy, return with 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒕𝒔, a vast, unfolding continuation of the trio’s signature ambient-country styling. Bob Holmes, Jonathan Greg and Pat Irwin traverse new terrain, slowly unearthing the ever-expanding map of their growing run of albums. Each piece arrives with the calm assurance of a band attuned to negative space, tone, decay, atmosphere, and melody. Sunsets I-X bring you a quiet preoccupation with memory and evoke the slow erosion of time.

CD and LP available via the Northern Spy website and Bandcamp now. Art by . Photo by Jim Bennett.

“This is serious music for serious listeners, expertly realized and efficiently delivered: another smooth move from a crew of versatile long-timers who turned experimental traditionalism into a marketable movement with themselves at the center.” –

“Counting Sunsets manages to create [an] expanse, while also being a music of the quietest intimacy.” –John Diliberto,

“This richly textured recording captures a band with an unusually heightened aptitude for cohesiveness honing a sound that’s organic and contemporary while lacking in clichés.” –Joseph Neff,

Announcing to Northern Spy Records on October 31, 2025: A Companion For The Spaces Between Dreams from and

Jamie Lidell and Luke Schneider have created a kind of sonic tool to navigate a liminal state of mind. Their new collaborative LP, A Companion For The Spaces Between Dreams, is designed as a reverent companion for psychedelic journeys born from Lidell’s own ketamine therapy sessions, which deepened his belief in art’s healing power.

“The Passing”, out today, combines pedal steel with an Otari Tape machine. A lush sonic carpet is rolled out, inviting the listener to rest their eyes, enter an auricular daydream, and absorb themselves in the present moment.

Limited edition cassette and LP available for preorder now. Every physical order comes with a limited edition broadsheet poster.
