Fall Into the Sun by Swearin'

Out October 5 on Merge. Philly-based indie rockers Swearin' called it quits in 2015 after two hours, with the band's Allison Crutchfield going on to play with her sister's band (Waxahatchee) and launch a successful solo career. But three of the band's four members (all but Keith Spencer) have reunited, first to perform with Superchunk earlier in 2018, and now to release their third LP.
