Old Saw- The Wringing Cloth

Old Saw’s final dispatch, The Wringing Cloth, arrives as a 2xLP from Lobby Art Editions, its gatefold cradling Dylan Hausthor’s spectral photographs while familiar hands from the New England collective return to wring one last benediction from their smoldering acoustics. If past albums only circled song-shaped clearings, this farewell steps straight into the heart of the woody escape they’ve constructed, then vanishes into the dark like embers cooling in the underbrush.
