Here’s a sweet and tasty treat from Research Vessel, another growing-out-of-hand project from Danny Rowland (Seapony, Transmittens, Space Daze). After two cassette releases, Research Vessel finally becomes available on vinyl and CD. If you missed the first two releases, I’m kinda jealous because there’s a special pleasure in discovering this band for the first time. Research Vessel songs have a way of releasing the tension in your shoulders with their gentle and humble nature. Doctors may want to include it in their prescriptions because this may outperform any prescription drug.

Press play on Wish I Knew and let its jangly guitars tickle your brain and the hushed warmth of Rowland’s voice soothe your soul. Surely it’s one of the finest twee pop songs this year will bring. I would buy this EP for that one alone, but there are four additional songs which together open a portal to spring.

7″ vinyl and CD EP out through Sunday Records (US), Vinyl Exchange (UK), Hands and Arms Records (EU), and The Stone Records (Japan).
