EXCLUSIVE NEW STREAM: The Love Language - The Love Language (ENTIRE ALBUM)

Last week, we introduced you to The Love Language's 1960s pop-tinged track "Lalita" during SXSW. Since then, we've been falling deep for the entire self-titled album, even though (and/or probably because) one man recorded the whole compilation lo-fi on a four-track in North Carolina. We liked it so much that we asked for permission to share and stream the whole thing with you.

Post break-up, post alcohol binging, post hitting rock bottom - and after moving back in with his parents to get his life on track, Stu McLamb played, recorded and mastered every element of this album by his lonesome. From the jaunty, melodic ballad "Stars", the shimmering tambourine pop like "Sparxxx", to the nostalgic sing-along waltz "Manteo" that moves in the direction of Cold War Kids' alt-country balladry, The Love Language certifies that even self-destructing, inhabitable love can birth lovely things.

* PS we only have access to this stream for 4 weeks, so relish it while you can!
