Lagniappe Sessions Vol. 1 / Various - RSD BF 2016

LIMITED EXCLUSIVE RECORD STORE DAY/BLACK FRIDAY 2016 RELEASE! Featuring Dungen, of Montreal, Kevin Morby, Jennifer Castle, and more. Gold vinyl, limited to 1,500 copies. LP housed in a deluxe Stoughton tip-on jacket. Includes booklet with track notes by the artists. This co-release between Light In The Attic Records and Aquarium Drunkard Recordings documents the first five years of the series, collecting on vinyl for the first time a diverse lineup of obscure gems and familiar tunes refashioned into surprising and unexpected things. Psychedelic Swedes Dungen cover electronic pioneer Aphex Twin; of Montreal tap into the classic folk ballad "All My Sorrows"; troubadour Kevin Morby configures the blistering hardcore of the Germs into something more mystical. Some of the most familiar songs on Vol. 1 are the farthest out in terms of reinterpretation - White Fence reimagines the Gin Blossoms as a Paisley Underground outfit; guitarist William Tyler draws lines connecting the ragas of Sandy Bull to the progressive rock of Blue Oyster Cult.
