Forgetting, momentarily, that for me, each exists only with the other. How could I forget? Though maybe my lapse was reasonable: I had just quit my job, the most recent and last, in a series of dead-end gigs stretching back 20 years, with the vow that my children would understand their father as a man in love with his world and the inventor of his own days. They would be rare in that regard. And then—driven by monthly bills and pure fear— I left for another tour, carrying a load of guilt that I could just barely lift.

The idea this time around was to work with Matt Ross-Spang, the dashing Memphis wunderkind who'd engineered that album and charmed us all with his gentle wit and old-school savoir-faire. The Memphis album-Getting Into Knives, which came out last October-would be brighter, bolder, marked by rich and vibrant hues; the Muscle Shoals one-Dark in Here, set for release on June 25-quieter, smokier, but more deeply textured and intense. One of the words that John used when we were talking about the direction for Dark in Here was \"wild,\" which I liked a lot. Not wild in the sense of abandon-these aren't those kind of songs. But wild in the sense of something undomesticated, untamable. Wild like the immutability of nature, the way it will take back any piece of untended space as it's own, whether amidst the AutoZones and Chick-fil-A's of Muscle Shoals or among the ruins of a scientific outpost on the Kola Peninsula. Wild like the whale; like a powerful animal. Or a virus-the beast that awakes, emerges from a forest, and stops the world. You can fight the calamity all you want, but either way, it's going to demand your surrender.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Parisian Enclave (1:25)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Destruction Of The Kola Superdeep Borehole Tower (3:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Mobile (3:42)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Dark In Here (3:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Lizard Suit (4:16)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. When A Powerful Animal Comes (5:27)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. To The Headless Horseman (3:54)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. The New Hydra Collection (2:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. The Slow Parts On Death Metal Albums (5:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Before I Got There (4:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Arguing With The Ghost Of Peter Laughner About His Coney Island Baby Review (3:58)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Let Me Bathe In Demonic Light (5:11)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855072616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.25.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48455510425755,"sku":"105617","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-the-mountain-goats-dark-in-here-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1777559837"},{"product_id":"hiss-golden-messenger-terms-of-surrender-lp-vinyl","title":"Hiss Golden Messenger – Terms of Surrender (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM.C.

Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, Tift Merritt, Skylar Gudasz, Tamisha Waden, Mac McCaughan, and John Paul White provided vocal harmonies. From the desk of M.C. Taylor, July 18, 2017: I’m from nowhere. That’s the way I feel about it now, right at this moment. Music took me and made me and gave me a purpose and I built my world with it, and now my geography is a musical one, forever. And when I break, when I think about running as far as I can, I remember that there is nothing that does me like music, and I might as well be a poor man in a world of my own device. Hallelujah anyhow. Rhythm? I learned it over twenty years in the back of rented vans, in attics and back rooms—hard places to get to, harder places to get out of. And now rhythm is my clock and I live by it. We all do. But it’ll kill you if you’re not careful. It might kill you even if you are. Hallelujah anyhow. I see the dark clouds. I was designed to see them. They’re the same clouds of fear and destruction that have darkened the world since Revelations, just different actors. But this music is for hope. That’s the only thing I want to say about it. Love is the only way out. I’ve never been afraid of the darkness; it’s just a different kind of light. And if some days that belief comes harder than others, hallelujah anyhow. Whatcha gonna do when the wall comes down? When the wall comes down? What you ought to do is let it lie—let it lie And in the gathering darkness vow to never go back It was built by man and you can tear it down Tear it down, tear it down Step back, Jack, from the darkness I’ve seen darker things than night.

And while John writes the songs, as he always has, it feels more than ever like he’s speaking for all of us in the band, erstwhile goths (raises hand) or otherwise, for these are songs that approach an identity most often associated with youth from a perspective that is inescapably adult. Anyone old enough to have had the experience of finding oneself at sea in a cultural landscape that’s suddenly indecipherable will empathize with Pat Travers showing up to a Bauhaus show looking to jam, for example. But underneath the outward humor, there is evident throughout a real tenderness toward, and solidarity with, our former fellow travelers—the friends whose bands never made it out of Fender’s Ballroom, the Gene Loves Jezebels of the world—the ones whose gothic paths were overtaken by the realities of life, or of its opposite. It’s something we talk about a lot, how fortunate and grateful we are to share this work, a career that’s become something more rewarding and fulfilling than I think any of us could have imagined.

The idea this time around was to work with Matt Ross-Spang, the dashing Memphis wunderkind who'd engineered that album and charmed us all with his gentle wit and old-school savoir-faire. The Memphis album-Getting Into Knives, which came out last October-would be brighter, bolder, marked by rich and vibrant hues; the Muscle Shoals one-Dark in Here, set for release on June 25-quieter, smokier, but more deeply textured and intense. One of the words that John used when we were talking about the direction for Dark in Here was \"wild,\" which I liked a lot. Not wild in the sense of abandon-these aren't those kind of songs. But wild in the sense of something undomesticated, untamable. Wild like the immutability of nature, the way it will take back any piece of untended space as it's own, whether amidst the AutoZones and Chick-fil-A's of Muscle Shoals or among the ruins of a scientific outpost on the Kola Peninsula. Wild like the whale; like a powerful animal. Or a virus-the beast that awakes, emerges from a forest, and stops the world.

That’s the way I feel about it now, right at this moment. Music took me and made me and gave me a purpose and I built my world with it, and now my geography is a musical one, forever. And when I break, when I think about running as far as I can, I remember that there is nothing that does me like music, and I might as well be a poor man in a world of my own device. Hallelujah anyhow. Rhythm? I learned it over twenty years in the back of rented vans, in attics and back rooms—hard places to get to, harder places to get out of. And now rhythm is my clock and I live by it. We all do. But it’ll kill you if you’re not careful. It might kill you even if you are. Hallelujah anyhow. I see the dark clouds. I was designed to see them. They’re the same clouds of fear and destruction that have darkened the world since Revelations, just different actors. But this music is for hope. That’s the only thing I want to say about it. Love is the only way out. I’ve never been afraid of the darkness; it’s just a different kind of light. And if some days that belief comes harder than others, hallelujah anyhow. Whatcha gonna do when the wall comes down? When the wall comes down? What you ought to do is let it lie—let it lie And in the gathering darkness vow to never go back It was built by man and you can tear it down Tear it down, tear it down Step back, Jack, from the darkness I’ve seen darker things than night.

At that time I was feeling—more acutely than I had ever felt before—wrenched apart by my responsibilities to my family and to my music. Forgetting, momentarily, that for me, each exists only with the other. How could I forget? Though maybe my lapse was reasonable: I had just quit my job, the most recent and last, in a series of dead-end gigs stretching back 20 years, with the vow that my children would understand their father as a man in love with his world and the inventor of his own days. They would be rare in that regard. And then—driven by monthly bills and pure fear— I left for another tour, carrying a load of guilt that I could just barely lift. But in that snowy hotel room I found the refrain that became my compass: I was a dreamer, babe, when I set out on the road; but did I say I could find my way home? --M.C.

Each reissue features newly penned liner notes by Amanda Petrusich (The New Yorker), with John Mulvey (Uncut, MOJO) providing the essay for Virgo Fool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Balthazar's Song\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. No Lord Is Free\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Bad Debt\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. O Little Light\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Straw Man Red Sun River Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Far Bright Star\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. The Serpent Is Kind (Compared To Man)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Call Him Daylight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Jesus Shot Me In The Head\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Super Blue (Two Days Clean)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Roll River Roll\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. Drum\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 2\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Blue Country Mystic\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Call Him Daylight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Drummer Down\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Under All The Land\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Westering\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Pittsboro Farewell (Two Monarchs)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Super Blue (Two Days Clean)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Jesus Shot Me In The Head\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. O Little Light\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. A Working Man Can't Make It No Way\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Dreamwood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. Balthazar's Song\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 3\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Red Rose Nantahala\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Sufferer (Love My Conqueror)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. I've Got A Name For The Newborn Child\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Hat Of Rain\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Devotion\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. The Serpent Is Kind (Compared To Man)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Sweet As John Hurt\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Cheerwine Easter\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Hark Maker (Glory Rag)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Busted Note\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. What Shall Be (Shall Be Enough)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 4\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Rock Holy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Black Country Woman\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Joyce \u0026amp; Joel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Lion\/Lamb\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Father Sky\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Issa\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Back To The River Again\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Tell Everyone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Karen's Blues\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. The Revenant\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Hard Promises\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855065526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.16.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48455534477467,"sku":"242628","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-hiss-golden-messenger-devotion-songs-about-rivers-spirits-children-cd-relix.jpg?v=1777581610"},{"product_id":"the-mountain-goats-goths-lp-vinyl","title":"The Mountain Goats – Goths (3-LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Darnielle wrote *Goths* with no guitars anywhere on the record, a deliberate creative constraint that pushed the Mountain Goats into piano, strings, and orchestration.

And while John writes the songs, as he always has, it feels more than ever like he’s speaking for all of us in the band, erstwhile goths (raises hand) or otherwise, for these are songs that approach an identity most often associated with youth from a perspective that is inescapably adult. Anyone old enough to have had the experience of finding oneself at sea in a cultural landscape that’s suddenly indecipherable will empathize with Pat Travers showing up to a Bauhaus show looking to jam, for example. But underneath the outward humor, there is evident throughout a real tenderness toward, and solidarity with, our former fellow travelers—the friends whose bands never made it out of Fender’s Ballroom, the Gene Loves Jezebels of the world—the ones whose gothic paths were overtaken by the realities of life, or of its opposite. It’s something we talk about a lot, how fortunate and grateful we are to share this work, a career that’s become something more rewarding and fulfilling than I think any of us could have imagined.

He says the record \"feels like the most personal album that I've made because I'm not trying to explain anything to anyone except myself.\" Taylor reckons with these turbulent times in deeply personal terms and seeks to inspire listeners to do the same. Musically, the new songs are steeped in gospel, Southern soul, indie folk, and alt-country with tinges of blues, rock, and jazz influences running throughout. Highlights include the minimalist R\u0026amp;B of \"It Will If We Let It,\" the rolling country groove of \"The Great Mystifier,\" and the heartfelt, smoky lament of \"Painting Houses\" (co-written with Gregory Alan Isakov).

Quietly Blowing It ends with \"Sanctuary,\" a John Prine-referencing balm that opens with a verse that might as well sum up Taylor's career to date: \"Feeling bad\/ Feeling blue\/ Can't get out of my own mind\/ But I know how to sing about it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e— Rudi Greenberg, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relix.com\/reviews\/detail\/hiss-golden-messenger-quietly-blowing-it\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRelix\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM.C. Taylor has spent years building one of the most quietly devoted followings in the Americana underground, earning trust through relentless touring and records that never chase trends. *Quietly Blowing It*, released during a period when live music had gone silent, carries the particular weight of an artist turning inward when the road disappears, making its communal warmth feel hard-won rather than assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuietly Blowing It is an intimate and introspective offering that finds M.C. Taylor ruminating on themes of growing up, alienation, obligation, hope, purpose, family, class, self-discovery, healing, and rebuilding, fashioned with impressionistic tones. He says the record \"feels like the most personal album that I've made because I'm not trying to explain anything to anyone except myself.\" Taylor reckons with these turbulent times in deeply personal terms and seeks to inspire listeners to do the same. Musically, the new songs are steeped in gospel, Southern soul, indie folk, and alt-country with tinges of blues, rock, and jazz influences running throughout. Highlights include the minimalist R\u0026amp;B of \"It Will If We Let It,\" the rolling country groove of \"The Great Mystifier,\" and the heartfelt, smoky lament of \"Painting Houses\" (co-written with Gregory Alan Isakov). Quietly Blowing It features special guests that include Griffin and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, Zach Williams of The Lone Bellow, Nashville guitar great Buddy Miller, and producer\/musician Josh Kaufman of Bonny Light Horseman.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Way Back In The Way Back (4:00)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Great Mystifier (2:57)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Mighty Dollar (4:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Quietly Blowing It (4:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. It Will If We Let It (3:06)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Hardlytown (3:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. If It Comes In The Morning (4:06)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Glory Strums (Loneliness Of The Long-Distance Runner) (3:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Painting Houses (3:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Angels In The Headlights (1:54)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Sanctuary (4:27)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855075525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.25.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48455542210715,"sku":"691016","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-hiss-golden-messenger-quietly-blowing-it-cd-relix.jpg?v=1777604100"},{"product_id":"the-mountain-goats-bleed-out-yellow-lp-vinyl","title":"The Mountain Goats – Bleed Out (2-LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Darnielle has spent decades writing characters trapped in desperate circumstances, and *Bleed Out* leans fully into that tradition by framing its songs as a loose action-movie narrative, drawing on the aesthetics of 1980s genre cinema.

Taylor is accompanied throughout the album by his crack live band: guitarist Chris Boerner, bassist Alex Bingham, keyboardist Sam Fribush, and drummer Nick Falk, a collection of musicians that have helped make Hiss Golden Messenger's live performances legendary affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. 20 Years And A Nickel (3:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Alice (0:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. I Saw The New Day In The World (3:21)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Shinbone (3:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Little Pink Church (0:54)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Jesus Is Bored (4:07)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Nu-Grape (3:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Feeling Eternal (3:25)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Jump For Joy (3:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. The Wondering (3:57)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Palo Santo \/ Cloud Mesa (0:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. California King (2:46)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13. My Old Friends (3:32)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14. Sunset On The Faders (3:34)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855082523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.25.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48455567736987,"sku":"593109","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-hiss-golden-messenger-jump-for-joy-cd-relix.jpg?v=1777604262"},{"product_id":"the-mountain-goats-in-league-with-dragons-lp-vinyl","title":"The Mountain Goats – In League with Dragons (2-LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Darnielle has been writing songs about outcasts, survivors, and unlikely redemption since the early 1990s, and *In League with Dragons* finds the Mountain Goats leaning deeper into fantasy and mythology as a lens for that same emotional core.

Featuring a collection of songs written with now-dormant experimental recording group Great Thunder while Crutchfield was also writing the Waxahatchee albums Cerulean Salt and Ivy Tripp, the original recordings have mostly faded into obscurity. Unearthing and reimagining them with producer Brad Cook at Justin Vernon’s April Base studio in Wisconsin was a cathartic experience, she says. On the heels of last year’s critically acclaimed Out in the Storm, Crutchfield found herself looking to take a sharp turn away from the more rock-oriented influences of her recent records towards her more folk and country roots. “I would say that it is a complete 180 from the last record: super stripped-down, quiet, and with me performing solo, it’s a throwback to how I started,” writes Crutchfield. “Overall, the EP is a warm, kind of vibey recording.” Some of the songs on Great Thunder, like “Chapel of Pines” and “Singer’s No Star,” stayed the same and will be recognizable to those intensely familiar with Crutchfield’s catalog to date, while closer “Takes So Much” was built back up on piano from the bones of the original version, surprising even the songwriter: “Until then, I didn’t realize how beautiful this song was.” As Crutchfield entered April Base to record, she became ill but opted to forge on, beautifully stretching her voice to its emotional limits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Singer's No Star\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. You're Welcome\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Chapel Of Pines\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. You Left Me With An Ocean\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Slow You Down\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Takes So Much\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855065120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.7.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600400167067,"sku":"9500","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-waxahatchee-great-thunder-cd-relix.jpg?v=1779203028"},{"product_id":"waxahatchee-out-in-the-storm-cd","title":"Waxahatchee – Out In The Storm (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded with producer John agnello, Out In The Storm finds Katie Crutchfield plugging back into the kind of full-band electric rock that traces a direct line through the Replacements and Liz Phair, a sharp turn from the sparse intimacy of her earlier work.

Her most autobiographical and honest album to date, Out in the Storm is a self-reflective anchor in the story of both her songwriting and her life. As Crutchfield prepared for the release of her Merge debut Ivy Tripp, she found herself depleted emotionally and professionally amidst the dissolution of a noxious relationship. “Ivy Tripp doesn’t really have any resolution. It’s a lot of beating around the bush, and superficially trying to see my life clearly, but just barely scratching the surface. Out in the Storm digs into what I was going through without blinking.

Featuring a collection of songs written with now-dormant experimental recording group Great Thunder while Crutchfield was also writing the Waxahatchee albums Cerulean Salt and Ivy Tripp, the original recordings have mostly faded into obscurity. Unearthing and reimagining them with producer Brad Cook at Justin Vernon’s April Base studio in Wisconsin was a cathartic experience, she says. On the heels of last year’s critically acclaimed Out in the Storm, Crutchfield found herself looking to take a sharp turn away from the more rock-oriented influences of her recent records towards her more folk and country roots. “I would say that it is a complete 180 from the last record: super stripped-down, quiet, and with me performing solo, it’s a throwback to how I started,” writes Crutchfield. “Overall, the EP is a warm, kind of vibey recording.” Some of the songs on Great Thunder, like “Chapel of Pines” and “Singer’s No Star,” stayed the same and will be recognizable to those intensely familiar with Crutchfield’s catalog to date, while closer “Takes So Much” was built back up on piano from the bones of the original version, surprising even the songwriter: “Until then, I didn’t realize how beautiful this song was.” As Crutchfield entered April Base to record, she became ill but opted to forge on, beautifully stretching her voice to its emotional limits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Singer's No Star\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. You're Welcome\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Chapel Of Pines\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. You Left Me With An Ocean\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Slow You Down\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Takes So Much\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Singer's No Star\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. You're Welcome\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Chapel Of Pines\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. You Left Me With An Ocean\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Slow You Down\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Takes So Much\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855065113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.7.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600437424283,"sku":"398110","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-waxahatchee-great-thunder-ep-12-vinyl-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1779203005"},{"product_id":"waxahatchee-out-in-the-storm-lp-vinyl","title":"Waxahatchee – Out In The Storm (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatie Crutchfield came up through the Alabama DIY punk scene alongside her twin sister Allison, and that scrappy, unguarded instinct has always lived underneath Waxahatchee's folk and indie rock leanings.

Johnson has spent two and a half decades crafting some of indie folk's most quietly devastating songs, building a catalog that rewards the kind of patient listening the music itself seems to demand. Landfill finds him excavating something more personal than usual, the title's geography doubling as emotional archaeology. For fans who've followed the Fruit Bats journey from Chicago's early 2000s indie scene forward, this one lands differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe midwest, particularly the part of the midwest Eric D. Johnson hails from, is a largely flatexpanse. Zipping through it on the highway, you'll see cities and towns rise up in the distance,but blink and you'll miss other man-made rejoinders to horizontal living dotting the landscape,hill after hill, built from the refuse of the past: landfills. Some of these hills make for greatsledding spots, parks, and trails. Others turn organic waste into compost. The Landfill issomething else entirely: a mountain dominating the landscape of Johnson's heart.Over the course of his now 25-year career under the Fruit Bats moniker, most of Eric D.Johnson's output has been the product of patience and fine-tuning. His songs, to borrow aphrase, are slow growers, given life on albums that encompass long stretches of time andmemory. Baby Man changed that - he disallowed himself from referring to material he'dbeen working on before laying the album down, utilizing the morning pages technique ofstream-of-consciousness, observational songwriting which flowed directly into his afternoonrecording sessions. It was both a breathtaking document of Johnson's skill as a singer-songwriter and an unvarnished account of the two weeks in which he recorded the album.Baby Man's closeness to Johnson's heart and the close attention to his voice and instrument it'sminimalist-maximalist ethos required uncorked something in him as he wrote towards a newfull band effort. \"That session was over,\" he explains, \"but there was way more to explore. Iliked the immediacy of it, and I wanted to see how that would translate into a full-band FruitBats record.\" Within weeks, he was back in a studio, this time with his band - David Dawda(bass), Josh Mease (guitars, synth), Frank LoCrasto (piano, synth), and Kosta Galanopoulos(drums) - with whom Johnson has spent over a decade building Fruit Bats into one of themost in-demand live acts in indie rock. Listening to The Landfill, it's not hard to understand why:simply put, this band smokes.Producing the initial recording sessions in Washington's Bear Creek Studios, Johnson set outto capture \"the sound of this band I constantly marvel at, the feeling of being in a room withmusicians you love and trust enough to let them cook.\" They laid most of it down on thefloor - no click tracks, no comped vocals, and minimal overdubs, with frequent collaboratorThom Monahan returning to provide additional production and The Landfill's final mix. \"It'show we do things with my other band, Bonny Light Horseman, and I was curious to see howit would work with Fruit Bats,\" Johnson notes. \"It's both a very personal record, and my mostcollaborative to date.\"It's also the most live a Fruit Bats record has been since 2009's The Ruminant Band, and inparing back the number of tracks that typically layer a full-band song, the psychedelic,technicolor dreaminess of their sound is more vivid than ever. Time and space melt into thesublime as the band gels around Johnson's hazy croon on \"That Goddamn Sun,\" stretching outto accommodate him as he trips from California to North Carolina. In striking a balancebetween ecstatic romance and melancholia, \"Think Aboutcha\" occupies the blissful-but-doomed intersection of the E Street Band and Paul McCartney, playful but playing for stakesthat are larger than life, while \"Perhaps We're a Storm\" charges headlong into the unknown.All of these songs - most of the songs on The Landfill, in fact - mark themselvesimmediately as some of the best in Eric D. Johnson's ever-expanding songbook, seekers andanthems alike.

Time Bomb High School has since become a cratedigger's grail, out of print on vinyl since it's initial release. Now those seekers have reason to rejoice: Time Bomb High School is returning to vinyl; remastered and featuring new cover art by Greg Cartwright.Hailed as \"a truly unimpeachable rock'n'roll-soul classic\" by The Guardian, Time Bomb High School was a breakthrough for the Memphis-based quartet of Cartwright (vocals, guitar), Jeremy Scott (bass, backing vocals), Greg Roberson (drums), and Alex Greene (organ, guitar, backing vocals). The songs - Cartwright's originals and covers like \"Stormy Weather\" and \"I'd Much Rather Be With the Boys\" alike - are as alive as ever, but the heart of this edition of Time Bomb High School lies in it's sequencing, which was kept true to the 2002 first pressing. The Side 1 features mid-tempo ballads, and love songs. Side 2 is all rockers.The album opens with four of Reigning Sound's most vulnerable yearners before breaking out into a rendition of Memphis hometown heroes The Guilloteens \"I Don't Believe.\" From this, an almost entirely new album emerges. The band's swagger and bravado remains intact, but the album feels more earnest and open-hearted, like they've put down their guard to really let the listener in, it's ravers feeling like shelter from the storm. There's no wrong way to listen to Time Bomb High School, but this is it's definitive form: a classic that's ready for rediscovery, as vital to the rock canon as the dusty 45s that inspired Reigning Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Stormy Weather (2:12)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Straight Shooter (1:34)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. You're Not As Pretty (2:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Brown Paper Sack (2:14)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Wait And See (2:33)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. I Walk By Your House (2:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Time Bomb High School (1:36)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. I Don't Believe (2:44)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. She's Bored With You (2:11)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Reptile Style (3:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. I'm Holding Out (2:43)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. I Don't Know How To Tell You (2:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13. Dressy (2:54)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14. I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys (2:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e15. You're So Strange (3:12)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855069616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.17.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48745122594971,"sku":"191926549","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-reigning-sound-time-bomb-high-school-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1781655964"},{"product_id":"lambchop-punching-the-clown-lp-vinyl","title":"Lambchop – Punching the Clown (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKurt Wagner has spent three decades quietly confounding expectations, guiding Lambchop through country, soul, orchestral pop, and electronic abstraction while never losing the thread back to Nashville's margins.

Spencer Tweedy's presence in the room connects this record to a deep vein of that tradition, and the band's shared history with Case Oats gives Anything Could Be a lived-in ensemble warmth that most solo debuts spend careers chasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChicago singer-songwriter Max Subar laid down the bones of Anything Could Be, his debut album, in a house on the shore of a frozen lake in Wisconsin. Subar returnedto the sonic and spiritual landscape he'd cultivated during the initial ten day session, remaining present in that moment by working when he could truly occupyit's heart. Most of the additional sessions that add texture and color to the album were recorded in Subar's home studio, in the same house where Case Oats, the CaseyGomez-Walker-led outfit in which Subar plays guitar, recorded their 2025 debut Last Missouri Exit. His brother, Sam Subar, played drums. Further instrumentation was provided by Case Oats bandmates Spencer Tweedy (drums on \"I Never\" and \"Way Up\"), Jason Ashworth (upright bass), and Scott Daniel (violin), as well as frequent collaborators Chet Zenor (electric guitar), Kelly Hannemann (piano), and Sarah Weddle (vibraphone, organ, and electric piano).The arrangements that took shape are generous and illuminative, giving flesh to the bones of Anything Could Be's live guitar and vocal takes without sacrificing theirspontaneity. \"Performing no more than a few takes of these parts was crucial to keep the songs from ever feeling laborious, tired, or overworked,\" says Subar. \"If Icouldn't get it in about three takes, something wasn't right. Maybe the part was too busy. Maybe it was my approach. Whatever it meant, I took it as a sign to move on.The result of this process is a mesmerizing, open-hearted debut that grows with the listener, rewarding time and close attention. Title track and lead single \"Anything Could Be\" is an invitation to meet Subar on this wavelength, his voice invoking the memory of a dream while his guitar gently pulls him through it's logic, arriving at the desire for freedom, openness, and growth that animates the record. On \"Like You've Known It,\" the arrangement recedes into the sound of windchimes and waves breaking on the shore, an organic pulse that bears the song out into the water. His use of pedal steel on songs like \"See Saw\" allows him to stretch time, following it'sundulation to a stunning moment of witness where what's stirred to life is nothing less than a once-stagnant spirit, a long-simmering breakthrough that comes tofruition, at last, on \"As The Weather,\" where his voice rises to meet that breakthrough with grace and gratitude for what he has weathered.Anything Could Be offers the listener both the transformative space in which the album was shaped, and a portrait of the artist, and person that artist became in making it. It's 11 songs are imbued with what the poet Adrienne Rich called \"a wild patience,\" aradical stillness that is, itself, a journey towards consciousness, peace, andself-awareness. It makes no promises about what's next. Just the same, it leaves you in breathless anticipation for what that may be, so long as it stirs Subar to pick up his guitar and play through it as he did this chapter of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnything Could Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee Saw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat at My Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Never\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike You've Known It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs the Weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWay Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything Is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWords Unkept\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Day Will Be New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855088815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.17.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48745162768539,"sku":"191213678","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-max-subar-anything-could-be-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1781656118"},{"product_id":"lambchop-punching-the-clown-cd","title":"Lambchop – Punching the Clown (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKurt Wagner has spent thirty-plus years quietly confounding expectations, building Lambchop into one of American music's most genuinely unpredictable ongoing projects.

Spencer Tweedy's presence in the band signals the generational creative network surrounding this music, connecting it to a longer tradition of Midwestern artists who find something essential in stillness and open space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChicago singer-songwriter Max Subar laid down the bones of Anything Could Be, his debut album, in a house on the shore of a frozen lake in Wisconsin. Subar returnedto the sonic and spiritual landscape he'd cultivated during the initial ten day session, remaining present in that moment by working when he could truly occupyit's heart. Most of the additional sessions that add texture and color to the album were recorded in Subar's home studio, in the same house where Case Oats, the CaseyGomez-Walker-led outfit in which Subar plays guitar, recorded their 2025 debut Last Missouri Exit. His brother, Sam Subar, played drums. Further instrumentation was provided by Case Oats bandmates Spencer Tweedy (drums on \"I Never\" and \"Way Up\"), Jason Ashworth (upright bass), and Scott Daniel (violin), as well as frequent collaborators Chet Zenor (electric guitar), Kelly Hannemann (piano), and Sarah Weddle (vibraphone, organ, and electric piano).The arrangements that took shape are generous and illuminative, giving flesh to the bones of Anything Could Be's live guitar and vocal takes without sacrificing theirspontaneity. \"Performing no more than a few takes of these parts was crucial to keep the songs from ever feeling laborious, tired, or overworked,\" says Subar. \"If Icouldn't get it in about three takes, something wasn't right. Maybe the part was too busy. Maybe it was my approach. Whatever it meant, I took it as a sign to move on.The result of this process is a mesmerizing, open-hearted debut that grows with the listener, rewarding time and close attention. Title track and lead single \"Anything Could Be\" is an invitation to meet Subar on this wavelength, his voice invoking the memory of a dream while his guitar gently pulls him through it's logic, arriving at the desire for freedom, openness, and growth that animates the record. On \"Like You've Known It,\" the arrangement recedes into the sound of windchimes and waves breaking on the shore, an organic pulse that bears the song out into the water. His use of pedal steel on songs like \"See Saw\" allows him to stretch time, following it'sundulation to a stunning moment of witness where what's stirred to life is nothing less than a once-stagnant spirit, a long-simmering breakthrough that comes tofruition, at last, on \"As The Weather,\" where his voice rises to meet that breakthrough with grace and gratitude for what he has weathered.Anything Could Be offers the listener both the transformative space in which the album was shaped, and a portrait of the artist, and person that artist became in making it. It's 11 songs are imbued with what the poet Adrienne Rich called \"a wild patience,\" aradical stillness that is, itself, a journey towards consciousness, peace, andself-awareness. It makes no promises about what's next. Just the same, it leaves you in breathless anticipation for what that may be, so long as it stirs Subar to pick up his guitar and play through it as he did this chapter of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnything Could Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee Saw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat at My Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Never\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike You've Known It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs the Weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWay Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything Is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWords Unkept\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Day Will Be New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855088822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.17.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48745170731163,"sku":"191145173","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-max-subar-anything-could-be-cd-relix.jpg?v=1781656131"},{"product_id":"moss-elanor-knife-the-needle-clear-purple-clear-purp-lp-vinyl","title":"Elanor Moss – Knife The Needle (Clear Purple LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoss.Elanor is the project of Elanor Moss, a songwriter whose fingerpicked guitar and intimate lyricism place her in a lineage of careful, literary folk artists.

In two couplets, sung over birdsong and Moss' classical guitar, she manages to capture an entire universe created in the bond between two people. The couplets mirror each other and hang, like a veil, over the rest of the song. Regardless of time, intimacy, love, tenderness, and the way those things can change a person and a relationship, there is, she asserts, an immutable fact to these things: that whatever she learns from them, there will always be something unknowable just beyond.It's a gorgeous song, but this sentiment - that what Moss knows about a lover also reveals what she doesn't know - is, for lack of a better term, a knife, burrowed in the back of beauty, an ache which, for lack of a cure, must be accepted, understood, and lived with. Across the nine songs that make up The Knife, The Needle, this is what Elanor Moss does, rendering joy and pain in exquisite peals of psych-folk, it's darkly-dreamed vignettes offering, if not catharsis, an understanding of the complexity of the journey towards it - healing as a process, rather than an object one obtains.Arriving at The Knife, The Needle was itself a complex journey. Moss found herself adrift from her music, pursuing a sound as opposed to occupying the space she had already cultivated for herself. \"Nothing felt right, \" she recalls, \"so I took the pressure off myself and tried to calibrate my relationship with songwriting and music.\" The three years she spent writing the songs that make up The Knife, The Needle ultimately found her returning to her roots in and love for, as she puts it, \"the music that made me really feel something; the music I wanted to be writing.\"The Knife, The Needle concerns itself with the way relationships between people are transformed, complicated, and troubled by love. In \"Sarah Waiting in the Car\" that turn is abuse. In \"Fixer\" which lends the album it's title, Moss grapples with the fact that love is as capable of harming someone as it is healing them. It's chorus, \"Somewhere, deep down \/ I'm afraid that if you show me the knife \/ I might use it on you babe\" shifts, first to the thought that the \"you\" Moss addresses the song to may use it on her, then, stunningly, to the knife could be something else entirely: \"Maybe what we thought of as a knife \/ Is just a needle we could use \/ To stitch the wound?\" she asks, offering at last to reveal where she hurts so long as her partner does the same.It's devastating work, a feat of tight lyrical construction that is at once patient and vulnerable, opulently rendered and keenly felt. Remarkably, it and the rest of The Knife, The Needle emerged from a place of restraint, with Moss - staying in a cabin near her parent's house in the Scottish highlands after initially recording an entirely different version of the album in New York City (\"a bit rollocking, \" she notes) - feeling the pangs of the album she hadn't recorded - \"quieter, weirder, more English.\" Rerecording with a new ensemble and producer\/engineer Pete Miles was a risk, but setting aside an already completed project was worth it. In the quieter, weirder, more English sound manifested here, Moss captures something fleeting, ephemeral, and honest about the moments in which love, for good or ill, irrevocably changes someone. Both the knife and the needle named in the album's title are capable of drawing blood, but illuminated by her voice and guitar, what bleeds out from these songs is nothing short of poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgain, My Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSarah Waiting in the Car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Are Coming Home Tonight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecrets of the Universe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClothes in a Hotel Sink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLouisethe Way That It Feels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855088303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.21.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48745230762139,"sku":"230700973","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-moss-elanor-knife-the-needle-clear-purple-clear-purp-lp-vinyl-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1781656089"},{"product_id":"elanor-moss-knife-the-needle-cd","title":"Elanor Moss – Knife The Needle (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElanor Moss comes to her debut full-length through Merge Records, a label with a long track record of nurturing artists who resist easy categorization.
