Fáta Morgána

The previously unheard material from the duo’s early-’90s punk outfit will arrive on October 16 via Kill Rock Stars. Heavens to Betsy—Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney and Tracy Sawyer of The Husbands, The Flying Tigers, and The Lies—recently reunited for their first concert in over 30 years, where they also confirmed dates for a fall tour. Now, the duo have shared that they’ll be releasing Baby’s Gone, which marks their first project since their sole album in 1994.

BACKSTORY: Reuben Haycocks, Aoife Anson O’Connell, and Paddy Murphy met as freshman while attending England’s Royal Northern College of Music; Jimmy Bradbury, who worked at a nearby music store and played in a band with Paddy, decided to form a new project with the rest in tow.

For those uninitiated, Smidleyis the side project of Foxing’s Conor Murphy which was formed prior to that band’s indefinite hiatus, but which now obviously has become Murphy’s primary mode of musical expression.
