It’s taken Joel Ford and Ian Evans two years to segue from their debut single as Airbird & Napolian to a proper full-length for Cascine; the wait was indeed worth it.

‘Mr. Foolish’ is due out November 13th through Cascine. Check out a couple other tracks and an official trailer from the bi-coastal duo down below…
