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."
