Maryland's Page France will release …And The Family Telephone on Suicide Squeeze Records on June 5th.
Frontman and primary songwriter Michael Nau admits to the organic growth of the “band” from a songwriting project into its current manifestation as a full band collaboration. From Suicide Squeeze:
“For the first time, it really feels like we're a band,” Michael said of Page France. “…and the Family Telephone is definitely the most collaborative album that I've ever done. Everybody had their input and there are a lot of fingerprints on it.”
The full album is available on AOL Spinner. The tracks are definitely more lush, gushing with the comfortable shared space that the band's learned to inhabit.
