Written in the aftermath of genuine upheaval, the album carries a weight that can only come from real loss, and a decade on, these songs still land with the same immediacy they had when they first surfaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLaura Gibson is a treasure. This lovely 10th anniversary reissue of perhaps her finest and most beloved record Empire Builder is pressed on colored vinyl and includes new liner notes by Gibson herself.Empire Builder is the name of the train that took Gibson from Portland, OR to NYC - where her life was promptly thrown into disarray following a gas explosion and ensuing apartment fire that took nearly all her possessions.The move and that terrifying experience became the catalyst for a huge leap forward for Gibson as a songwriter, composer, producer, and bandleader. The album features many of her most-streamed songs (\"Damn Sure,\" \"Two Kids,\" and the title track among them) and the talents of a stellar group of collaborators: Dave Depper (Death Cab for Cutie), Dan Hunt (Neko Case), Peter Broderick, Nate Query (The Decemberists) and Alela Diane. It won wide acclaim from NPR, Pitchfork, Uncut and others upon it's release, and has only gotten better with time.\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\u003eThe Cause\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamn Sure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot Harmless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpire Builder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive and Thirty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Search for Dark Lake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Kids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLouis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaldera, Oregon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 655173916216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barsuk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.23.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49449229058203,"sku":"359258946","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-laura-gibson-empire-builder-10th-anniversary-fruit-punch-lp-vinyl-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1788562084","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/laura-gibson-empire-builder-10th-anniversary-fruit-punch-lp-vinyl","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
