C
Happy Friday, everyone. From NPR Music. It's New Music Friday. I'm Stephen Thompson here with C. Celia Gregory from WNXP in Nashville. Welcome back to the show, Celia.
- [00:36]
B
Thanks, Stephen. Happy New Year. Can we still say that? Are we within bounds or are we too past the point?
- [00:40]
C
Oh, I'm gonna be writing Happy New Year into my conversations well into March and April.
- [00:45]
B
Okay, well, then, Happy New Year to you.
- [00:48]
C
Happy New Year. All right, let's kick off the show. We've got a new album from Dry Cleaning. Dry Cleaning's new album is called Secret Love.
- [00:56]
D
You've shown your ass now I don't want to see anyone anymore. Schools and hospitals and home people are worse than you think. There are people who really don't care. Huh. My naivety now Blood on my skin and hands and nails and in my eyes as well. I tried to see just really welcoming and re understanding a new relaxed and open atmosphere. It's usual to put these things to one side.
- [01:39]
B
Well, Steven, I've been really excited about this band for some time. There's been a bit of a gap between their second and this. Their third LP, Stump Work, came out in 2022, but it was worth the wait. I think this is really a cool thing from this British band because they worked with Kate Le Bon on this record. I knew I would like it once I learned she had her production touch on it. And I think it does not disappoint.
- [02:00]
E
Yeah.
- [02:00]
C
And I mean, I think Kate Le Bon's a really interesting collaborator for them, too, because if you listen to Kate Le Bon's music, it also has that mixture of kind of spare and deadpan, but also kind of thoughtful and, like, able to kind of work these, like, little jagged touches into the. Into their sound. And, you know, this is gonna sound like a really weird comparison. I know you've been a fan of Dry cleaning for a while now, and I've, you know, certainly like, picked up their records as they've come out and liked them. I am sometimes reminded, listening to this band, of the band Low.
- [02:34]
B
I get that.
- [02:34]
C
Even though the music basically sounds nothing alike, both artists take what seems like a very limited palette and finds, like, tons of interesting variation and gradation within that sound. And so the singer for Dry Cleaning is named Florence Shaw. And she's like borderline spoken word at times. She's just straight up spoken word, but she finds these little melodic fluctuations in her voice in ways that really project and evoke a lot of emotion and really kind of pull you into what she's saying. It's really interesting how much this band does with that kind of seemingly smallish palette.
- [03:23]
B
I really like that analogy. Then I'm gonna listen to Lo differently now thinking about this Dry Cleaning record. So thank you for that, Steven. I mean, Florence Shaw is the thing, right? They're a great band. They're a very tight rock band. And you have these undercurrents that if it was just instrumental, you'd be like, oh, I dig that. Right? Like, I would listen to that without her speak singing over it. But Florence, as this, you know, sort of art school acquisition back in the day, has made Dry Cleaning what it is. And you almost can't read these lyrics without hearing her speak singing them. And the lyrics really set them apart as well. A lot of this is really dark in content. I mean, it's of the times, but it's always funny. There's like a little bit that's funny about it, and it's what makes them interesting, I think.
- [04:03]
D
Racing ahead, laser in, locked in Everyone else can go fuck it. I can do anything, say anything Power.
- [04:14]
C
Coming back to this idea of how much diversity can be found within a seemingly limited sound, Tonally speaking, this record is actually kind of all over the map. There's a song called Let Me Grow and you'd'll see the fruit that has this gentle, tender quality to it, but you still feel an undercurrent of darkness. And in that way, it's actually of a piece with a song like Rocks, which is big and loud and gnarly and really kind of lets the. Lets the guitar freak out side of this band shine.
- [04:51]
D
No need for life story. No need for haircut. A blog for America. A girl you can vibe in the wrong people every time feels bad. Works in my dreams. You Sunbreak.
- [05:21]
B
That's so funny. I have those two paired together as well because they're both sort of nightmarish in content, right? Like laced with paranoia and there's spiders on me and all this. They can take the mundane and make it interesting and listenable because you want to know what's going to happen next. Like the next track. Oh, my gosh, what are they singing about? And I like. I really like my soul. Half Pint she's talking about not wanting to clean. Is there anything more relatable than that?
- [05:47]
C
If there's any energy that I'm bringing into 2026, it is an unwillingness to tend to my life in any way.
- [05:55]
D
Everything has a home in my house, but I don't like to clean. I find cleaning demeaning, but that's kind of a problem of mine.
- [06:12]
C
You mentioned the Kate Le Bon collaboration, but this record is kind of recorded in a few different places with a few different collaborators and that brings out a few different tones. They worked with a band from Dublin called Gilliband, formerly Girl Band, because they wanted to kind of explore a little bit of a darker side. Something a little bit more jagged, a little discordant. And you get a couple of these kind of darker tracks. There's a song called Blood and a song called Evil, Evil Idiot that are kind of existing around the center of this album that really bring out a dark side of this band.
- [06:51]
D
The taste the tongue of funky natural fibers frozen at the moment of their incineration is. Is what I live for.
- [07:07]
C
That is dry cleaning. Their new album is called Secret Love. Next up, a new record. Debut record from the singer known as Jenny On Holiday. It's called Quicksand Heart.
- [07:19]
F
We were bright in the eyes and we were lighting our hearts and we were kicking our fights, you and I when we look to the sky as the clouds seem further apart and I could reach my arms out to touch you there's these times in life it's just the l come the draw leave you soaring so high or nothing at all.
- [08:06]
C
So Quicksand Heart is the first solo record from the singer Jenny Hollingworth. She's probably best known as one half of a duo called let's Eat Grandma, which was an all songs favorite from south by Southwest a bunch of years ago. Let's see, Grandma's work is kind of a little bit creepier and a little more esoteric. This record's a little bit more straight ahead. I would liken it to like a less synth driven Churches. You know, it's kind of springy and shiny anthemic power pop with this kind of big, slightly raw, expressive voice at its center. I was really reminded, Celia, you can back me up or contradict me fiercely on this. I felt like this record really taps into a vein of a lot of like 80s English pop.
- [08:51]
B
Yes, concur, concur. No fierce dissent here. I mean, yeah, you still get a lot of synth on this, but it sort of is Brit pop forward in parts too. And I like it. I mean, from first listen, I thought, oh, pop music, it's a pop record. But like Quicksand Heart, the title track, could fit, like you said, 80s or 90s Brit pop era and not of today's electronic scene.
- [09:21]
F
It's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna blow apart on me. You've got a heart made of quicksand I've got bones made of boxed up stories say I gotta I. I've got a quick set o.
- [09:46]
C
The title is kind of referring to an energy that I would love to take into 2026. It's referring to being open, to being kind of enveloped in something, giving your whole self to your interactions with others. And I think that's a sweet way of looking at the pursuit of being present in, in your interactions. And I think, you know, that's a, that's a nice way to, you know, I know I'm using a lot of kind of therapy speak here, but, like, I'm into it kind of, kind of setting intentions for 2026, like have a quicksand heart. And, you know, in that song itself, it's this big, lush anthem. It's kind of mixing the sense of childlike wonder with, you know, kind of grand, propulsive pop rock. I think it's a night that that song to me jumped out as like, oh, I want to kind of take this energy into. Into 2026. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I want to attack this year, and I think that's a perfectly fine way to do it. Now let's. Let's be honest, by February, I will have leaned all the way into sullenness.
- [10:49]
B
Let's take the sparkly pop where we can find it right now. Top of January. Yeah, exactly.
- [10:54]
C
Top of January. I'm going to take it.
- [10:55]
B
I'm glad you mentioned sort of this childlike wonder because, you know, when she started, when Jenny and Rosa started let's Eat Grandma, they were teenagers, right? Yeah. So she clearly has more to say. Different things to say with this solo project, but it still sparkles, it shines. And talk about being enveloped. Every ounce of Me was another standout track for me. You know, really shimmers and it almost flirts with like this big, swifty, sing along quality that I think people might like even if they don't like let's Eat Grandma.
- [11:24]
F
No, I don't want to fall in love but you're making this so tough. Taking every ounce of me. You're taking every ounce. I don't know why it feels just that you're taking every ounce of me. Taking every ounce of me.
- [11:53]
C
You know, I'm glad you mentioned every ounce of me. I wanted to bring it up just for its thematic ties to kind of the themes that are evoked in this album's title. Like, this is an album about kind of giving your whole self to something. And I think that's a lovely, I think it's one she's really well equipped to kind of put out into the world. And, and you know, I, I, and I like that a lot. I also like that, you know, kind of elsewhere on this record she's able to lean into a more tender, graceful kind of ballad singing style. There's a track called Dolphins that I thought had, you know, had this kind of sweeter vibe that I think she carries off really well.
- [12:32]
F
I wanna see dolphins in the ocean I wanna meet the eyes of something that don't live a human life down by the coast End it goes on for miles I wanna see dolphins.
- [13:04]
C
Jenny on holiday. Her new debut album is called Quicksand Heart. We've got some more records we want to talk about this week, but first, let's take a quick break.

I'm Stephen Thompson here with Celia Gregory from WNXP in Nashville. And you know, Celia, I think it's time for you and me to break a little piece of news. This coming Tuesday, we are going to be opening up our 12th annual Tiny Desk Contest. Are amazing now. It's now it's an iconic tradition, this process where we have unsigned artists submit videos of original songs. And the winner of the Tiny Desk Contest each year comes into Washington, D.C. and records a full real Tiny Desk concert in the NPR Music offices. We have discovered so much amazing music over the course of this contest. We have minted, you know, we have like picked winners who've gone on to win Grammys. We have have you had really great success shining a light on wonderful talent. And the news that I'm here to break is that one of our judges for 2026 is none other than Celia Gregory from WNXP.
- [16:26]
B
Steven, thank you. And thanks to everybody at NPR Music. I mean, I've been such a fan of the Tiny Desk concerts for so long. I think a lot of folks that's their entree to NPR Music, right? As all the coverage of and going deep dives with an artist or an album like we're doing now, but to be able to visually see some of these artists that you've loved forever or you're just being turned onto in the Tiny Desk format is hugely important. So for the contest to elevate an artist to that level and also get them on tour, which is a newer thing that you guys have done, it's really special. I'm just so thrilled to be part of it and can't wait to watch dozens and dozens, nay, hundreds of videos when everybody that's hearing this decides, you know, this year's my year, I'm gonna submit. It's an honor and quite frankly, it's a responsibility of us, you know, in 2026. Let's hold onto these good things. And independent artistry is one of those good things. I'm just so stoked to be part of it.
- [17:16]
C
Yes, support independent artists, support independent venues, support public media. That's some energy to take into 2026. Well, Celia, next up, we've got a record I think you and I both really, really love. It's by a singer who goes by the name Monrovia. The album is called Bloodline.
- [17:35]
G
Oh, for the steel trail have I learned my lesson since then? Pierced through this veil I've been digging up what's left and that train keeps carrying on but the truth's still stuck in the pond oh, is this a prison in my mind?
- [18:02]
C
Oh.
- [18:05]
G
Or does a prison just mean life? I've been circling, circling, circling. I've been circling, circling, circling.
- [18:23]
B
Absolutely gorgeous, Stephen. I know we could talk about this for most of the hour, but we'll move right into why this is so significant. Now, Monrovia is based here in Tennessee, and I'm actually. We've covered him quite extensively at wnxp. We're really fortunate we had him part of our Summertime series. He's done a Sonic Cathedral session with us, our sort of version of tiny desk. But it's his story that's really incredible and needs to be the preface of listening to this record for new fans of Monrovia. He was born in Liberia and then adopted and has been raised in the States and moved all around. Finally, he's in East Tennessee. But this record, his debut, even though he's given us a bunch of singles so far, is telling the story not just of his life, but of his homeland. And it is powerful. Yeah.
- [19:06]
C
As you say, Celia, this record is kind of working through different phases of his life. And the first few songs are kind of reflecting on childhood. There's a song called Day at the Soccer Fields, which is just beautiful. That's kind of just like evoking memories and kind of playing around with, you know, what his life was like growing.
- [19:27]
G
Up as my body Shakespeare. I feel my history I'm terrified Burned cities and my mother's cries.
- [19:41]
C
Then it kind of pivots into coming to terms with his identity, coming to terms with change, coming to terms with living in different parts of not only the US but the world. His, you know, he was raised by a pastor, you know, who traveled a lot. He, you know, was growing up black in a white family, often in very white environments. The fact that the album is called Bloodline, and there's a song called Bloodline that is also kind of dealing with kind of this tangle of like, where am I from? Who am I from? You know, because he's straddling all these different places, and I think the music reflects that really beautifully.
- [20:24]
G
Came A long way can't fight my bloodlines My name still ties My bloodline Still. My bloodline.
- [20:46]
D
Still. My bloodline.
- [20:54]
G
Dissolve what I know yeah.
- [20:58]
B
Absolutely stunning. And that title track he sings, came a Long way and I can't find my bloodline he's grappling. He also, I think, finds it to be, like, a personal mission to share these stories and the clarity of his voice, and I mean that in listening to him. Close listen, but also the clarity of voice and his storytelling, it begs you to listen closely. Right. And each of these songs, the soft ones and sort of like the stomp and holler ones, that actually makes him feel.
- [21:25]
C
Yeah, we'll get to that.
- [21:26]
B
Yeah, he fits in different scenes, but the delicate nature of the storytelling, like on Bloodline or the Day at the Soccer Field, saying, emotionally, I've digressed. You're really in it with him, you know, from the first chord struck and through the whole thing.
- [21:41]
C
What did you kind of pull away in terms of his influences? Cause there were several moments where, for whatever reason, I couldn't tell if it was like something he was doing was evoking a specific song by this artist or if his overall vibe was reflecting this artist. But I occasionally got pieces of, like, Sufjan Stevens, I knew you were gonna say, and occasionally got pieces of Jose Gonzalez. And, you know, I think part of it is, especially when you get into the kind of stomp and clap, whoop and holler songs that kind of turn up in this album's last third, there's a track called Field Song that, for me, like, specifically evoked a Sufyan Stevens song. Even though it doesn't sound like he's imitating him, it sounds like he's been inspired by him along the way.
- [22:28]
G
Honey, leave a light on Shining for the right.
- [22:39]
B
I thought Pray the Devil Back to Hell was another sort of Sufian sounding. And that actually, that one starts with news coverage out of Liberia. It's so moving. And then the composition sort of swells like a Sufian tune. Right. And I think it's notable that, of course, Monrovia worked with a producer in LA on this. There were really clear production choices made to allow this storytelling to shine through. It's not. It's lush in parts, but it's not overdone anywhere. And I thought that that was probably really deliberate to let the skill and let the delicate nature of Monrovia's voice really shine.
- [23:24]
G
Dressed in the white light Love knows.
- [23:28]
C
No sign that is Monrovia. His new album is called Bloodline. Next up, an artist called Homestar. Homestar's new album is called A Binding Life.
- [23:42]
G
Not Me. Keeping all my lessons in a backpack Slowly gripping like a demon that's a flashback telling I don't need you I must only be true why can't I just see through pressure and the brid stew if you want it yeah, I got it Going on and on and on.
- [24:15]
C
So Homestar is the latest project by an artist named Evan Lescalette. He is of a band called Marietta. And here he is the sole songwriter, almost the sole musician. He did bring in a Drummer named Tim McMonagle, you know, to kind of bring in that, you know, that percussive energy. But otherwise, like, Evan Lescolette is playing basically everything here. Big pop punk energy, brash, catchy, kind of both scuffed up and meticulous. And it feels like the work of one of those, like, great power pop studio rats. You know, guys like Johnny Polonski, you know, some of these people who, like, get into the studio and like, here's my. Here are 90 songs that I meticulously crafted for you. And I love that energy that he brings to this.
- [25:06]
B
It's true that he has been working on the bulk of this, the solo project Homestar, for many years, right? So this is a nice archive, but the bulk of them were sort of COVID era times. And I think he just had enough to work on and decided, I know what I want to see through with this project. Yeah, I'm gonna mostly do it myself. I mean, from track one. Stephen from Winner. I was like, oh, I'm in. I'm hooked, right? And it's big pop punk hooks, big guitars. It's sort of, like, recommended if you like Pup or White Reaper or like, even some songs sound more like Green Day. It's not as emo band, quote unquote, Philly emo, maybe as Marietta. It's just really solid songwriting and composition of verse, chorus. The drums are huge. I'm glad he brought in Tim. That was one of the notable things on this record for me, is how well the drums pair with these lyrics. And I think there's a bunch of standout tracks on this. It makes it a strong debut for Evan as a solo artist.
- [26:03]
G
Will I be the hero or be the clown I face Unless it sounds I have worries I regret at certain parts of my.
- [26:17]
C
My notes on this record are not complex. I, I, I did not walk away from it with, you know, smashing insight. Even though these. These songs are about something, right? Like, these were written during the Pandemic. They reflect a certain amount of. Of, you know, reflection on transition, on change, on anxiety, on fear. Like that comes through. But at the same time, my notes on this record, you know, third listen through, I'm like, bunker equals killer power pop. That's like, wow, this is. This is what they pay. This is why they pay me the medium bucks.
- [26:52]
B
I mean, it goes to show, right? Like, it's very punk rock insofar as it doesn't have to be complicated to be good. Like, it's meeting the moment, much like the sort of art rock of dry cleaning meets the moment. Lyrically, this also is of a time and a place. You know, he's come up in music as a young person, and I think he went to to art school too, like, coming up, even before Marietta. So he knows music, but he also knows not to overcomplicate a great pop punk song. I'm thinking about talking about the themes. Waking at one, he says, Waking at one is not how I want to be. No one is proud of me. Like, it's a little whiny, bratty emo. But he's going through transitions. He's growing up and trying to grapple with what does that mean, who's on his team and how's he gonna move through the world. And I think it makes for a really nice listen straight through. There's not a lot of filter here. I think a lot of great songs are on this record.
- [27:44]
G
I'll finally be what I'll be so full of energy I'll finally be what.
- [27:56]
C
I'd be, you know, I think the key to writing a good kind of emo adjacent power pop lyric is if you deliver it without whining. And he manages to deliver it without whining. And, man, the instrumental chops on display here are really exciting, right? Like, there's a song called Milk Honey Big, just billowy, catchy guitars. They're kind of piled on top of each other. And there's something about the way that they're assembled within that song that there's still a sense of lightness to it.
- [28:33]
G
It.
- [28:33]
C
He's not just, like, burying you in fuzz. He's, like, using guitars as kind of a leavening agent. That is Homestar, their debut album is a binding life. We've got one more record we're going to talk about, as well as a lightning round of some of the other titles coming out today, January 9th. But first, let's take a quick break.

From NPR Music, it's NEW MUSIC Friday. I'm Stephen Thompson here with Celia Gregory of WNXP in Nashville. Before we get to our lightning round, we wanted to talk about one more record. It's by Chris Davis and the Lutoslovsky Quartet. It's called the Solastalgia Suite.
- [30:29]
F
SAM.
- [31:02]
C
So Chris Davis is a Grammy winning pianist and composer and tiny desk veteran, recent tiny desk veteran. Her, you know, her background is primarily in jazz. This is sort of a jazz record, but I would say it is a jazz and neoclassical crossover. It's a collaboration with the Ludoslowski Quartet, which is a Polish string quartet. And it is a composition for piano and string quartet, appropriate, appropriately enough. And conceptually, this is a piece about horror. It is a piece about the specifically the horrors and kind of a meditation on climate change. It evokes dread, little slivers of hope and grief in songs that feel haunted and at times almost apocalyptic, jarring, discordant. You take a track like the Known End and it is not a big leap. Even though there are no words on this record, it is not a leap to hear the known end and say, oh, this is, this is a movement. This is a piece about the apocalypse.
- [32:34]
B
I white knuckled through that one and quite a few of them on here. And Steven and but with like so much respect, I mean, let's back up a little bit. What does solastalgia mean? That was a new to me term. And because there's no lyrics, we do sort of need to know the source material here. Why is it called that? That's sort of an understanding of of feeling homesick while still at home mourning the loss of what was And a place in an instrument.
- [32:56]
C
That's a great word for a piece about climate change.
- [32:59]
B
Correct. And like deciding that you're not just. You're not just sad, you're not just grieving, you're horrified. And that's why it's a horror sounding record. The Ghost Reefs was another one where, I mean, it's very on the nose. You're thinking about what's happening underwater and not just on land. The strings and piano together so foreboding in a lot of cases. Chris really lets the quartet shine on their own of forget that she's running the show as the pianist because it's so strings heavy and it gives it that eerie quality. It's almost like she couldn't have done it without the string quartet.
- [33:52]
C
You listen to this piece and at times it kind of will soothe you as a way of preparing you for some of the chaos and discordance to come. I mean, to give you a sense of just the overall feel of this record. The track Pressure and Yield is meant to evoke the earth breaking apart. And you listen. This was just like reading about this record, right? Like, this is what this song is meant to. To mean. And I got to that and was like, yeah, that checks out.
- [34:47]
B
I also think a really curious thing is that they decided to start with a piece called Interlude, right? Of these movements. It starts with Interlude as though you've just been thrust in the middle. I mean, you're already anxious from the beginning, right? And then like you said, it backs up a little bit and you hear more of the grieving or the pieces of solitude and of okayness, of touching the earth, so to speak. And then you're thrust back into the chaos because. Because, folks, that's where we're at. And it's so amazing that something without lyrics could evoke exactly what this word refers to in such a potent way. I mean, we talked about the pop movement of 2026, the energy we're hoping to take. This is the realism, right, of what we're working with here. And I think it's beautiful and super laud worthy. It's just anxious and it's sometimes hard to listen to, quite frankly.

Yeah. And that's not to say that we don't hardly recommend it. I often. But, you know, often this is kind of the part of the show. Sometimes I do this in the lightning round. Sometimes we do this in kind of the last pick that we talk about in depth, where I like to sort of be like, okay, this is your Sunday morning reflection music, right? Like this is your meditative, you know, gentle string music while you sip an herbal tea and stare out your kitchen window. This is not that recognizable.

Yeah, I don't know where the time and place is recommended listening, but I hope people will listen because there's a lot of brilliance here. And the more I read about Chris Davis as a composer and as a. I mean, super decorated also, you know, like you said, uplifts other artists in the work she does with Berklee, et cetera. So worth a listen and a close read too about the meaning behind this album.

Absolutely. And check out her Tiny Desk concert. We just published it in November. You get a sense of just what kind of talent we're dealing with here. So that is Chris Davis and the Lutoslovsky Quartet with the Solastalgia Suite. So this part of January is not typically a huge week for new music. Still, there's more good stuff than we could get around to in a single week. So we're gonna do a quick lightning round of some of the other notable releases out today, January 9th. I'm gonna kick us off with not just one of the biggest albums of the week, but what's likely to be one of the biggest albums of the year. You'd best believe we'd be leading off with this one if we'd heard but no advances were made available. The country superstar Zach Bryan has a brand new super sized album. He's been building to this moment for a while now. Details are still sketchy as we record this, but I'll for sure be listening to it this weekend and beyond. Zach Bryan's new album is titled With Heaven on Top, let's go to the.

Cribs Selling a vibe They've been around. These brothers and a brother band have been around for a long time and you know, they were sort of hitting while the iron was hot with the the bands here in the States, they've never really taken hold as much as some of their peers in the uk, but this is a really nice, strong return. Summer Seizures was the first single. It sort of most sounds like a young garage band to me, but also if Our Paths Never Crossed is a standout track. Selling a Vibe, the record from the Cribs, who've been doing it for more than 25 years. And here we are in 2026.

Pullman is a supergroup containing members of bands like Tortoise come 11th Dream Day and one of my personal favorites, the criminally underappreciated Rex Pullman's first two records came out like a quarter century ago. And now, decades later, we get a third. It's a continuation of the band's warm, layered, hypnotic guitar, rich sound. Pullman's first album since 2001 is called Three.

Next Pick this innovative artist based in London, Steven, named Clementine March. She incorporates a lot of sounds on Powder Keg, though it's maybe most recommended if you're a Stereo Lab fan. Right. Upheaval, though there's sort of a nod to her alt rock roots. Think Pixies, then Fireworks. Reminds me of Rubble Bucket, but make it French, which I love. And then the final track, power of youf Dreams, ends on almost sort of a twee note. Think Belle and Sebastian. So this record, much like we decided we need in 2026, is giving whimsy. We're gonna take it.

Finally, this one's a tiny bit of a cheat because the album's been out for a few days. But I've got to put in a good word for the new record by the trippy Venezuelan pop band Rawayana. The group put on a glorious Tiny Desk concert a couple years ago. It's won multiple Latin Grammy Awards, and now it has a fun new album. Rahwayana's new record is called Donde Es El after, And that is our show for this week. Thank you, Celia Gregory, for taking time out of your week at WNXP in Nashville.

Always a pleasure, Stephen. I hope whatever powers your 2026, you do feel powerful and powered onward. It's good to be with you and we'll catch you again another time.
