The long awaited (by some) new album - a mere 15 years after the last one. It wasn't supposed to take quite that long, but life got a little complicated.
We hope you'll agree it was worth the wait though.
It Sure Beats Living.

"In the weird world of Wevie Stonder, things are never straightforward. The five-piece collective have returned with their first album in 15 years – and one reason it took so long is that they couldn’t think of a title. The group are renowned for their outlandish electronics and humorous vocal performances, with a series of treasured records on Manchester’s eminent Skam Records, and their latest album Sure Beats Living ventures into unknown realms. Introducing a host of new characters, tall tales and bizarre scenarios to a musical backdrop as varied as it is striking, the record darts between ambient tranquility, strange soundtracks, bass-heavy beats and emotive R&B..
..That’s the genius of Wevie Stonder: their ability to make you laugh one minute, and the next transport you to an atmospheric reverie."
