welcome to three lobed recordings.
we have been drawn to solo guitar albums the last few years - jack rose, steve gunn, eight trails, one path, etc. chuck johnson's crows in the basilica is our latest release from that lineage and it is worthy of as much attention as every one of our guitar albums to precede it. this one is out now and available for immediate shipment. everyone who has checked it out loves it. please check it out and join the rank of the lovers.
due to populer demand steve gunn's classic boerum palace is now back in print. if you know steve, you know he loves purple. for that reason, it makes total sense that this pressing is on purple vinyl. these should be ready to ship the first week of june. to order the LP (or in combination with a few other gunn-related titles), follow this link.
our next 2013 title is the latest solo guitar from danny paul grody (ex-tarentel). between two worlds is a gorgeous, contemplative and highly emotional guitar / piano / synth excursion. it really has no immediate compelte parallels within our existing catalog - part american primitive, part kora-influence, entirely of one kind. if you like roy montgomery, you need to check this out. to be released on august 20, pre-orders are now open and will ship in advance of the street date.
our first release of 2013 is the latest studio LP from matt valentine and erika elder, fuzzweed. this new LP is a spiritual sibling to the very popular country stash album - get ready for it to be in your heavy rotation. this LP is ready now for immediate shipment. click right here for more information about this title.
folks (including pitchfork) have been very excited about the exceptional studio debut from glacial (lee ranaldo, david watson and tony buck) titled on jones beach. this project has been a long-running live exercise between these players and this album documents how their chemistry is transportive and unlike anything else going. if you are into modern experimental music you simply *must* check this one out. this one can be ordered from this link.
did you love the gunn-truscinski duo's sand city? we know you did. well, equally (if not more) entrancing is their new LP, ocean parkway. to order, go here.
we are extremely pleased to have the classic 4/23/03 from bardo pond and tom carter back in print. our new version is a super swank double LP (including a previously unreleased track from the original session) plus a CD, 4/25/03, presenting an hour long collaborative live performance from the same players two days after the album sessions. you will not want to miss this one - it's moving fast! to order, go here.
we have reduced the price on several rad back catalog titles. titles include jack rose's the black dirt sessions, bardo pond's peri, d. charles speer & the helix's distillation, heavy winged's fields within fields, enos slaughter's beisbol and howlin rain's wild life. check it out!
while discussing the very topic of blazing interest and second pressings, the super-duper debut LP from hans chew, tennessee & other stories..., is now back in print. if you have not yet checked this beaut of a record out, you owe it to yourself to do so.
we are truly saddened by the passing of our friend jack rose. jack was a warm, caring person and was always a pleasure to be around. his larger than life spirit will truly, truly be missed even moreso than his inspired musical ability. our deepest sorrow goes out to his wife, laurie. we loved jack and recently curated an all-star download-only tribute to jack's work titled honest strings: a tribute to the life and work of jack rose. it is a bargain at $15 (with all proceeds going to jack's estate) and can be downloaded exclusively from FINA.
don't forget to check out our list of distributed titles.
we have a lot of titles available digitally these days. cruise over here for a full listing of titles and locations where you can find the titles for sale (bandcamp, itunes, amazon, fina, emusic and about everything else you would expect).
