A collection of songs recorded three years prior to his official Sub Pop debut, The Creek Drank the Cradle (2002).  A period before the concept of Iron \u0026amp; Wine existed and principal songwriter Sam Beam was studying at Florida State University with the intent of pursuing a career in film. Tallahassee documents the very first steps on a journey that would lead to a career as one of America’s most original and distinctive singer-songwriters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreek arrived like a thief in the night with its lo-fi, hushed vocals and intimate nature, while almost inversely Tallahassee comes with a strange sense of confidence. Perhaps an almost youthful discretion that likely comes from being too young to know better and too naïve to give a shit. The recordings themselves are more polished than Creek and give a peak into what a studio version of that record might have offered up. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTallahassee was recorded over the course of 1998-1999 when Beam and future bandmate EJ Holowicki moved into a house together. Beam had not been performing publicly, however he was known for playing an original song or two in the early morning glow of a long night. Holowicki also in the film program and who would go onto a career as a sound designer at Skywalker Sound, had a mobile recording device and after some prodding convinced his friend to record these late-night meditations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether they would record close to twenty-four songs, ideas and sketches, with EJ on bass and Sam on vocals, guitar, harmonica and drums.  The recordings – all captured in the house where they lived – have a “live in the room” feel akin to say Neil Young’s Harvest or Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left, rather than the homespun lo-fi 4-track home recording experiment taking place at the time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese recordings, minus one track, have never been made available and were instead left preserved on a hard drive for the last twenty years.  The one track that floated out there, called “In Your Own Time” was shared without a title to childhood friend Ben Bridwell (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/collections\/band-of-horses\"\u003eBand of Horses\u003c\/a\u003e) at some point. The song became known as the “Fuck Like A Dog” song and Ben shared it with more than a few folks during the golden era of mix cd’s.  Two of those folks were Jonathan Poneman from Sub Pop and journalist Mike McGonigal, who included it on his best songs of 2001 mix cd, passed out to friends and acquaintances.  And for many that is where the Iron \u0026amp; Wine story begins, until now…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-60b54ee0-7fff-e801-614e-1eaa8c722144\"\u003eTallahassee is the foreword to your favorite book that you’ve somehow skipped over time and time again.

But Low will not commemorate its first quarter-century with mawkish nostalgia or safe runs through songbook favorites. Instead, in faithfully defiant fashion, Low will release its most brazen, abrasive (and, paradoxically, most empowering) album ever: \u003ci\u003eDouble Negative\u003c\/i\u003e, an unflinching eleven-song quest through snarling static and shattering beats that somehow culminates in the brightest pop song of Low’s career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make \u003ci\u003eDouble Negative\u003c\/i\u003e, Low reenlisted B.J. Burton, the quietly energetic and adventurous producer who has made records with James Blake, Sylvan Esso, and The Tallest Man on Earth in recent years while working as one of the go-to figures at Bon Iver’s home studio, April Base. Burton recorded Low’s last album, 2015’s \u003ci\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/low\/ones_and_sixes\"\u003eOnes and Sixes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, at April Base, adding might to many of its beats and squelch and frisson beneath many of its melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis time, though, Sparhawk, Parker, and bassist Steve Garrington knew they wanted to go further with Burton and his palette of sounds, to see what someone who is, as Sparhawk puts it, “a hip-hop guy” could truly do to their music. Rather than obsessively write and rehearse at home in Duluth, Minnesota, they would often head southeast to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, arriving with sketches and ideas that they would work on for days with Burton. Band and producer became collaborative cowriters, building the pieces up and breaking them down and building them again until their purpose and force felt clear. As the world outside seemed to slide deeper into instability, Low repeated this process for the better part of two years, pondering the results during tours and breaks at home. They considered not only how the fragments fit together but also how, in the United States of 2018, they functioned as statements and salves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDouble Negative\u003c\/i\u003e is, indeed, a record perfectly and painfully suited for our time. Loud and contentious and commanding, Low fights for the world by fighting against it. It begins in pure bedlam, with a beat built from a loop of ruptured noise waging war against the paired voices of Sparhawk and Parker the moment they begin to sing during the massive “Quorum.” For forty minutes, they indulge the battle, trying to be heard amid the noisy grain, sometimes winning and sometimes being tossed toward oblivion. In spite of the mounting noise, Sparhawk and Parker still sing. Or maybe they sing because of the noise.

Thinking he is alone and lost in space, the character discovers music in the ship’s shuddering hull and chirping instrument panels. William and Jonathan’s tracks draw an imaginary sonic map of the ship’s decks, hallways, and quarters, while Daveed’s lyrics ride the rhythms produced by its engines and machinery. In a reversal of H.P. Lovecraft’s concept of cosmic insignificance, the character finds relief in learning that humanity is of no consequence to the vast, uncaring universe. It turns out, pulling the rug out from under anthropocentrism is only horrifying to those who thought they were the center of everything to begin with. Ultimately, the character decides to pilot his ship into the unknown—and possibly into oblivion—instead of continuing on to worlds whose systems of governance and economy have violently oppressed him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"clipping.","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":40768834404527,"sku":"711731","price":16.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":40768834437295,"sku":"711732","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":40768834470063,"sku":"711734","price":7.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1527\/5174\/products\/clipping-splendor-misery-cover-3000x3000-300.jpg?v=1633414315"},{"product_id":"the-reverend-horton-heat_the-full-custom-gospel-sounds-of","title":"The Full Custom Gospel Sounds of...","description":"1993’s The Full Custom Gospel Sounds of… stepped things up a bit, with fuller production by fellow Texan Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers.

This reliance takes on a few different names as their story unfolds, like “love,” “culture,” “family,” etc. Over time, and as their brains prove to be remarkably good at inventing meaning where there is none, the species becomes the purveyor of increasingly bizarre and sophisticated ironies.

We’ve always been wary to not overthink or intellectualize the music we love but also not satisfied until we’ve accomplished something that pushes us forward.” The music made by Edkins and his compatriots Hayden Menzies (drums) and Chris Slorach (bass) has always been a little difficult to pin down. Their earliest recordings contained nods to the teeming energy of early ‘90s DIY hardcore, the aggravated angularities of This Heat, and the noisy riffing of AmRep’s quintessential guitar manglers, but there was never a moment where METZ sounded like they were paying tribute to the heroes of their youth. If anything, the sonic trajectory of their albums captured the journey of a band shedding influences and digging deeper into their fundamental core—steady propulsive drums, chest-thumping bass lines, bloody-fingered guitar riffs, the howling angst of our fading innocence. With Atlas Vending, METZ not only continues to push their music into new territories of dynamics, crooked melodies, and sweat-drenched rhythms, they explore the theme of growing up and maturing within a format typically suspended in youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovering seemingly disparate themes such as paternity, crushing social anxiety, addiction, isolation, media-induced paranoia, and the restless urge to leave everything behind, each of Atlas Vending’s ten songs offer a snapshot of today's modern condition and together form a musical and narrative whole. Album opener “Pulse” is a completely unnerving exercise in reductionist tension, with verses providing little more than a lone discordant chord, a hammering kick drum, and the occasional punctuation of a diving bass note. From there METZ launches into “Blind Youth Industrial Park,” an absolute scorcher of paranoid dissonance and malicious force centered on a chromatic descending riff and a merciless four-to-the-floor drum battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album hits its stride with “No Ceiling”—a minute-and-a-half rager that comes about as close to containing a pop hook as anything METZ has ever written. Though it’s still saturated with in-the-red distortion, this truncated anthem about discovering love and purpose provides the rare counterpoint to the band’s grievous compositions. But there’s no yielding to complacency on Atlas Vending, and the mercurial nature of love and romance is expertly captured in the alternately brutal verses and beguiling choruses of “Hail Taxi.” If METZ’s current mission is to mirror the inevitable struggles of adulthood, they’ve successfully managed to tap into the conflicted relationship between rebellion and revelry with the song’s tactics of offsetting their signature bombast with anthemic melodic resolutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe song sequencing follows a cradle-to-grave trajectory, spanning from primitive origins through increasingly nuanced and turbulent peaks and valleys all the way to the climactic closer, “A Boat to Drown In.” The lyrics speak to this arc as well, with the songs addressing life’s struggles all the way through to death, as Edkins snarls “crashed through the pearly gates and opened up my eyes, I can see it now” before the band launches into the album’s cascading outro. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile past METZ albums thrived on an abrasive relentlessness, the trio embarked on Atlas Vending with the goal to make a more patient and honest record—something that invited repeated listens rather than a few exhilarating bludgeonings. It’s as if the band realized they were in it for the long haul, and their music could serve as a constant as they navigated life’s trials and tribulations. The result is a record that sounds massive, articulate, and earnest. Bolstered by the co-production of Ben Greenberg (Uniform) and the engineering and mixing skills of Seth Manchester (Daughters, Lingua Ignota, The Body) at Machines with Magnets in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, METZ deliver the most dynamic, dimensional, and compelling work of their career. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"METZ","offers":[{"title":"Loser (color) LP","offer_id":40768852623535,"sku":"713400","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":40768852656303,"sku":"713401","price":16.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":40768852689071,"sku":"713402","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":40768852721839,"sku":"713404","price":7.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1527\/5174\/products\/metz-atlasvending-cover-3750.jpg?v=1633414599"},{"product_id":"green-river_dry-as-a-bone-deluxe-edition","title":"Dry as a Bone (Deluxe Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of Seattle's rise to global rock supremacy in the late '80s and early '90s begins with Green River.

The album was originally recorded and released in 1988 on SST Records. While the band enjoyed working with the original producer, Drew Canulette, they soon realized they weren’t quite happy with the final mix. Thus, shortly after the album’s release, the band decided to remix the album for subsequent pressings. However, success intervened: the band rapidly scored a deal with A\u0026amp;M and began work on their major-label debut, \u003ci\u003eLouder Than Love\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eUltramega OK\u003c\/i\u003e remix project fell by the wayside as Soundgarden climbed their way to (ultra)mega-stardom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, after worldwide success, a breakup, a reunion, and many albums and tours, the band finally acquired the original multi-track tapes to\u003ci\u003e Ultramega OK \u003c\/i\u003eand carved out time to dig into the remix. They handed the tapes over to longtime friend and engineer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Skin Yard), who worked with the band to create a fresh mix of the album that, for the band, ties up this persistent loose end and remedies the sound of their debut album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile they were at it, the band dug out six early versions of tracks that wound up on \u003ci\u003eUltramega OK\u003c\/i\u003e. The songs were recorded in 1987 on 8-track tape by Jack Endino and Chris Hanzsek at Reciprocal Recording in Seattle, and mixed by Jack Endino in 2016. These versions feature the band in raw, powerful form – sonically closer to the band’s Endino-recorded debut EP \u003ci\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/soundgarden\/screaming_life_fopp_2013_reissue\"\u003eScreaming Life\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e – and provide a fascinating window into the development of songs that eventually became staples of the band’s set. The six songs comprise what the band refers to as \u003ci\u003eUltramega EP\u003c\/i\u003e, and they are included in this reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHailed as grunge innovators, Soundgarden redefined rock music for a generation. In the ‘80s, the band - singer\/guitarist Chris Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Hiro Yamamoto, and drummer Matt Cameron - combined a punk ethos, brutal metal soundscapes, and Cornell’s ravenous roar to capture the attention of the masses. Jagged and ferocious, their music was deeply at odds with the synth-pop and hair metal which dominated the 80’s airwaves. Early indie releases, including seminal \u003ci\u003eScreaming Life\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUltramega OK\u003c\/i\u003e, quickly led to a dedicated indie following as the band toured on both sides of the Atlantic.

Over the course of three uniquely enchanting, critically-lauded albums and an EP, the music he makes has proved both transportive and visual, each new effort inviting listeners into immersive, self-contained universes. With Purple Noon, his fourth album, and return to Sub Pop, he delivers the most accessible Washed Out creation to date. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife of Leisure, the first Washed Out EP, set the bar for the Chillwave era, shimmering in a warm haze of off-the-cuff Polaroids and pre-IG filters. Within and Without, his full-length debut on Sub Pop, found Washed Out’s sound morphing into nocturnal, icy synth-pop and embraced provocative imagery. Paracosm is Greene’s take on psychedelia, with a full live band and kaleidoscopic light show, and saw him playing to the largest audiences of his career. The sample-heavy Mister Mellow delivered a 360 audio\/visual experience, with cut-n-paste and hand-drawn animation to match the hip hop influences throughout the album. With each release, Greene has approached his evolving project with meticulous detail and a steadfast vision. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Purple Noon, Greene again wrote, recorded, and produced the entirety of the album, with mixing handled by frequent collaborator Ben H. Allen (Paracosm, Within and Without). Production of the album followed a brief stint of writing for other artists (most notably with Sudan Archives on her debut Athena) which enabled Greene to explore genres like R\u0026amp;B and modern pop for the first time. These brighter, more robust sounds made their way into the songs of Purple Noon and mark a new chapter in Greene’s growth both as a producer and songwriter.  The vocals are front and center, tempos are slower, beats bolder, and overall, a more comprehensive depth of dynamics that has yet to be heard on a Washed Out record. One can hear the luxuriousness of Sade, the sonic bombast of Phil Collins, and the lush atmosphere of the great Balearic beat classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coastlines of the Mediterranean inspire Purple Noon, and Greene pays tribute to the region’s distinct island culture -- with all of its rugged elegance and old-world charm -- and uses it as a backdrop to tell the album’s stories of passion, love, and loss (Purple Noon’s title comes from the 1960 film directed by Rene Clement, which is based on the novel “The Talented Mister Ripley” by Patricia Highsmith). Much like the romantic Hollywood epics, the melodrama throughout is strong  -- a serendipitous first meeting in “Too Late”; the passionate love affair in “Paralyzed”; the disintegration of a relationship in “Time to Walk Away”; the reunion with a lost love in “Game of Chance.” Each Washed Out release has been rooted in a form of escapism, but coupled with this new layer of emotional intensity, Purple Noon takes Washed Out’s music to dazzling new heights. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Washed Out","offers":[{"title":"Loser (color) LP","offer_id":40768869269679,"sku":"713650","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":40768869302447,"sku":"713651","price":16.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":40768869335215,"sku":"713652","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":40768869367983,"sku":"713654","price":7.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1527\/5174\/products\/washedout-purplenoon-cover-3000x3000.jpg?v=1633414805"},{"product_id":"built-to-spill_theres-nothing-wrong-with-love","title":"There's Nothing Wrong With Love","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere's Nothing Wrong with Love\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the second full-length album released by legendary indie rock band \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/artists\/built_to_spill\"\u003eBuilt to Spill\u003c\/a\u003e.

A visit to the island, so integral to the evolution of jazz and New Orleans culture in general, had long been in the works when President Obama’s diplomatic opening suddenly allowed for a more extensive journey than had originally seemed possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e “When the restrictions were lifted,” says bandleader\/composer\/bassist \u003cb\u003eBen Jaffe\u003c\/b\u003e, “It was no longer just about going down there and playing a concert. We were able to explore a bit more, which profoundly impacted the band not just musically but personally. In Cuba, all of a sudden we were face to face with our musical counterparts. There’s been a connection between Cuba and New Orleans since day one - we’re family. A gigantic light bulb went off and we realized that New Orleans music is not just a thing by itself; it’s part of something much bigger. It was almost like having a religious epiphany.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eProducer \u003cb\u003eDavid Sitek\u003c\/b\u003e, a founder of art rock innovators \u003cb\u003eTV on the Radio \u003c\/b\u003ewho has helmed projects by Kelis, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Santigold among others, offered both a keen modern perspective and a profound respect for the band’s storied history. Upon arriving in New Orleans to meet with the band, Sitek recalls he and Jaffe accidentally stumbling into one of the city’s famed second-line parades. “I was struck by the visceral energy of the live music all around, this spontaneous joy, everything so immediate,” he says. “I knew I had to make sure that feeling came out of the studio. It needed to be alive. It needed to sound dangerous.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor those wary that a band with the rich history of the PHJB is tackling new material, Jaffe is quick to point out that Preservation Hall – which his parents, Allan and Sandra Jaffe, founded in 1961 – was never meant to be a museum. At its beginnings it broke racial boundaries to present the living legends of New Orleans music, living links to the origins of jazz. Today, with a band whose ages range nearly 60 years, the mission remains the same: to pass on the traditions while continually revitalizing it with new blood and fresh ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“I see it as something that's necessary for the evolution and survival of New Orleans music,” Jaffe says. “Interpreting the repertoire that’s been around for a hundred years is one thing, but the challenge is to keep that repertoire and those traditions alive while at the same time being honest about who you are as a musician, allowing all of your musical influences to be reflected in what you create.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile that’s always been a key component of the PHJB, whether at their world-famous French Quarter home or on stages around the world, it took on a renewed urgency in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. “When something that catastrophic happens in your life,” Jaffe says, “it becomes important to understand and focus on the things that are most important.” The band began charting a new path with the release of \u003ci\u003eThat’s It!\u003c\/i\u003e, their first album of original material, in 2013. \u003ci\u003eSo It Is \u003c\/i\u003econtinues and significantly expands on that expedition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe music on \u003ci\u003eSo It Is\u003c\/i\u003e, penned largely by Jaffe and 84 year-old saxophonist \u003cb\u003eCharlie Gabriel\u003c\/b\u003e in collaboration with the entire PHJB, stirs together that variety of influences like classic New Orleans cuisine. Longtime members Jaffe, Gabriel, Clint Maedgen and Ronell Johnson have been joined over the past 18 months by Walter Harris, Branden Lewis and Kyle Roussel, and the new blood has hastened the journey into new musical territory. The album’s seven new pieces of buoyant, window-rattling funk find common ancestry with the Afro-Cuban sounds that the band heard in the streets of Havana (witness the NOLA-meets-Cuba bounce of “La Malanga”), Fela Kuti’s Nigerian funk and the entrancing melodies of Ethiopian jazz (most evident on the sinuous “Innocence”), the passion of envelope-pushing ‘60s jazz and soul pioneers, and the intense grooves of their modern Coachella counterparts – then filters them all through a Crescent City lens to emerge with something that compels the listener to move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“When we play music, the barometer for us as a band is whether the locals are \u003ci\u003ereacting\u003c\/i\u003e,” Jaffe explains. “In New Orleans we play music for dances and parades, funerals and church.

If it happens at all, it happens naturally — and perhaps nobody knows that better than Seattle, Washington’s Band of Horses. Guitarist\/vocalist Ben Bridwell and bassist Mat Brooke formed Band of Horses in 2004, after the dissolution of their nearly ten-year run in northwest melancholic darlings Carissa’s Wierd. Carissa’s Wierd trafficked in sadly beautiful orchestral pop, whose songs told unflinching stories of heartbreak and loss, leavened with defeatist humor. And, Band of Horses rises from the ashes of that well-loved and short-lived band. After playing music with each other for over a decade, Bridwell and Brooke picked up together again when Bridwell began fleshing out his compositions post-Carissa’s. “It was really just a natural thing we started doing,” explains Bridwell. Buoyed by Bridwell’s warm, reverb-heavy vocals (which strangely channel a dichotomous blend of Wayne Coyne, Brian Wilson and Doug Martsch,) Band of Horses’ woodsy, dreamy songs ooze with amorphous tension, longing and hope.

Written as the group slowed down from touring constantly and Bognanno attempted to adjust to how different a home schedule is from a road schedule, her songwriting has matured from the quick one-two punches of \u003ci\u003eFeels Like\u003c\/i\u003e to tracks that contemplate the necessity of space in both song structure and emotion. Bognanno’s gruff yet dynamic voice is allowed to bloom, and it has a tenderness and openness to it here that’s new. There are multiple layers of wistfulness and care to her delivery of lines like “It just takes one disagreement for you to remember the one time I fucked up,” from “Spiral,” turning songs that could be one-dimensional kiss-offs into warm and complex expressions of regret.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe group returned to Electrical Audio in Chicago, another home for Bognanno, to record \u003ci\u003eLosing\u003c\/i\u003e.

Their heavy, churning rock\/metal\/punk buzz was a crucial part of Sub Pop’s early years, and, along with peers like Mudhoney, Nirvana, and Soundgarden, they defined the sound that reinvigorated the rock world in the early ‘90s. TAD was led by the physically imposing yet incredibly sweet singer\/guitarist TAD Doyle, with bassist Kurt Danielson (ex-Bundle of Hiss), drummer Steve Wied, and guitarist Gary Thorstensen. With an image that sometimes cast the band as deranged lumberjacks, and influence from Head of David and Killdozer, TAD put a uniquely rain-and-fog-coated Northwest spin on ‘80s underground rock. The band released two albums and a few EPs on Sub Pop between 1988 and 1991, all of which are now lovingly remastered by the band’s friend and engineer Jack Endino (Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees) and repackaged with bonus tracks and expansive liner notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1991, after tens of thousands of miles on the road in support of \u003ci\u003e\u003ca title=\"Link: http:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/tad\/gods_balls_deluxe_edition\" href=\"http:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/tad\/gods_balls_deluxe_edition\"\u003eGod’s Balls\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, and a run of powerful EPs\/singles, TAD released their second full-length album, \u003ci\u003e8-Way Santa\u003c\/i\u003e. Recorded at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin with Butch Vig, whose work with Killdozer the band admired, \u003ci\u003e8-Way Santa\u003c\/i\u003e finds TAD pushing their sound in new directions. Not a band to rest on its laurels, TAD began to add melodic touches to their sound, as evidenced by the lead single, “Jinx.” Many touring dates and shows followed the record, and a pair of copyright-infringement brouhahas occurred over the original album cover – which was quickly pulled from stores when the couple portrayed in the cover photo objected – and the corporate-beverage-offending art for a 1990 EP. \u003ci\u003e8-Way Santa \u003c\/i\u003ewas the last record with the original TAD lineup, and their last album for Sub Pop before jumping to a major label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reissue of \u003ci\u003e8-Way Santa\u003c\/i\u003e includes tracks from the “Jinx” single, a 1990 EP, and a handful of unreleased album demos recorded by Jack Endino.
