Many thanks to Stereogum for premiering “Whiskey” from our upcoming reissue of Kenny Knight’s Crossroads, one of our very favorite songs on an album of indelible songs. This jittery head-nodder touches on some heavy darkness: an alcoholic’s lament about childhood drinking, drunk driving, a constant fear of death, and almost shitting your pants (seriously, it’s dark.)
Due to popular demand, our PoB High Roller t-shirts are back in stock and ready to ship. We’re also thrilled to announce that, effective March 31, Paradise of Bachelors will be distributed exclusively worldwide by the fine folks at Secretly Canadian Distribution. Pre-orders are still rolling for our two May 12 releases–our first in collaboration with SCD–The Weather Station’s Loyalty and Kenny Knight’s Crossroads.
Paste has premiered a video for Steve Gunn’s gorgeous “Wildwood,” from Way Out Weather. Appropriately for a song inspired by the eponymous New Jersey beach town, director Dan Murphy shot the video in Wildwood in the dead of winter, when the boardwalk was deserted and gray ice floes littered the empty beach. Full Gunn tour dates, plus a special announcement follow herein.
The third and finest album yet by Toronto artist Tamara Lindeman, recorded in France with Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) and Robbie Lackritz (Feist), Loyalty crystallizes her lapidary songcraft into eleven emotionally charged vignettes and intimate portraits. Pre-order now and get an immediate download of “Way It Is, Way It Could Be,” as premiered by Stereogum and Q on CBC Radio.
Pre-order Crossroads, the first-ever reissue of the private-press country-rock rarity by Colorado auto body painter, Marine, and garage band lifer Kenny Knight, and receive an immediate download of “America,” streaming now via Aquarium Drunkard.
Big news: In addition to his other upcoming dates with Ryley Walker and others, Steve Gunn will be touring with the mighty Wilco this Spring and Summer for their 20th Anniversary tour, including a date at Red Rocks in Colorado. Tickets go on sale this week.
