Fromthing Somethat by the black watch
Fromthing Somethat is the best complete the black watch record that the band has ever made. Available on download, CD and 12” vinyl. Haunting melodies, dance beats, flashes of 80’s synth pop, Beatlesque resemblances and shoe gazey in all the right places describes the brilliance of the band’s 19th full length release. No longer teaching full-time, band leader John Andrew Fredrick has been on a creative hot streak making multiple records in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Academia’s loss is the world’s gain in great new the black watch music. In November 2020, look for the release of The Nothing That Is EP, featuring a Scott Campbell remixed version of the first single off Fromthing Somethat and three additional new songs.

the black watch has been called "a national treasure" with "20 CDs of remarkable consistency." Their new LP fpr 2020 is available from A Turntable Friend Records;. Their 2011 release Led Zeppelin Five review: "it is the simple beauty of their shimmering pop songs—a marvelous confection that harks back to mid-period Beatles, the Soft Boys, and a sort of west coast Yo La Tengo."
