Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of adventurous songwriting and devoted listening since 1974. That long view informs what ends up in the store. The Mountain Goats have always rewarded the kind of close attention Relix readers bring to records, and stocking a deep run of their catalog reflects that. The store also carries the Relix Sessions series, live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label, for listeners who want that same spirit of documentation applied to the live setting. Every title is chosen because it belongs in a serious collection, not to fill space.
All records are new and sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date and ship when the label releases them. CDs ship in protective packaging.
If the Mountain Goats catalog opens doors for you, keep exploring. The store's Indie Rock and Pop Vinyl and CDs collection covers adjacent territory. Listeners drawn to the folk and Americana roots running through Darnielle's writing will find more in Americana, Folk and Country Vinyl Records. For colored and limited pressings across the full catalog, Colored Vinyl Records and Limited Variants is the place to check. And for those who want the live document on wax, Live Vinyl Albums and Records has that covered.
