It's been three years since Li'l Cap'n Travis' Glurp Records debut, "...In All Their Splendor" and, from the look of things, it was time well spent. Shimmering with sighs of pedal steel, twangy classic rock licks, and breathy harmonies, their brand-new record, Twilight on Sometimes Island, shows a band firmly in love with the past but by no means looking to repeat it. All the old ghosts are there-a little Beach Boys production, some reverb-drenched '50s rock 'n' roll, and a general sense of good timeyness that feels like the best summer day of your life.

"It flashes on some heavy timely matters-teenage despair, Eskimo children, vampirism, and island-prison escapes to name a few," says guitarist/singer Matt Kinsey about Twilight. "We took our time and pursued some of our more ridiculous notions and enjoyed doing it. It's got tons of pedal steel guitar on it for not really having country-fied songs."
