You can get it directly from our store or start streaming it right now! Also, many fine independent records stores will be carrying it.

Having a big first week of sales and streaming is important for opening up opportunities, so it's a good day to share it far and wide, either on social media or the old-fashioned way of just telling a friend.
Suz and Dave are able to easily switch from being responsible parents to following their musical muses into unexpected areas. They truly are an interlocked duo in life and music, complimenting and supporting each other. I think they must get their limitless energy and stamina by simply being together, and having the family along for everything.

Read More"David Wax Museum's new album, Line of Light, is a collection of songs that not only give us great tunes, but there's depth in them. Sometimes I hear a melody before the lyrics or the other way around. It's such a lovely thing when a song has a melody that gets into your pores and then, after a few listens, you discover the lyrics do too. Some bands have poets for frontmen and this band is one of them. Lovingly produced by Carl Broemel (guitarist for My Morning Jacket and Ray Lamontagne), it's full of variety. Songs that rock and ballads that seduce you. I'm all in for this record and it's wonderfully creative sounds." — Sara Willis

We're feeling so grateful to be welcomed into these spaces. This is what community-focused, DIY touring looks like, and it's empowering for us as artists and for the communities that bring us through to rally folks together and build connections through shared experiences. We love when folks decide to start a concert series, to invite us into their home, or start a homegrown venue in their town. Each of us has the power to make a difference in our community by supporting the arts. One of our hosts, Hill, said that hosting felt like inviting joy into his life. What a beautiful sentiment!
