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.

After the bulk of official recording was completed, a listen through all the demos and snippets on Brandon’s hard drive convinced Benjamin there were more gems in the rough (which is how both “Hallelujah” and “Keep Your Eyes Ahead,” as well as the mid-tempo “Back to This” were rediscovered and retooled).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eProduced by the band, \u003ccite\u003eKeep Your Eyes Ahead\u003c\/cite\u003e confirms in The Helio Sequence an energy and a range that continues to defy narrow categorization.

The stark and reverberant title track opens the set with “a fighting spirit,” says Hoop, serving as an anthem to push through any obstacle and put forth your very best work. And she has unequivocally done that here, with an album of stunningly original songs--minimalist yet brimming with energy, emerging from a wealth of life experience, great emotional depth, and years of honing the craft of singing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs riveting as it is reflective, the album, produced by Blake Mills (Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes,John Legend, Laura Marling), is a fresh debut of sorts for Hoop, as the first of her solo records made outside of Tony Berg’s Zeitgeist Studios where she and Mills both cut their teeth in the art of record making under the guidance and support of Tony Berg. Says Hoop, “Blake is so utterly musical and emotionally intelligent in his expression. His guitar voice is a large part of what creates the sound of my first three records. This time I wanted to see what we could do, just he and I out from under Tony’s wing and in a totally different setting.” Mills pushed her to strip away layers, keeping it as close to the live experience as possible, using whole live takes and working very quickly. “It's still covered in embryonic fluid, for lack of a better way to put it,” says Hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever fast the work, \u003ci\u003eMemories Are Now\u003c\/i\u003e covers a great deal of ground, showcasing every edge and curve of Hoop’s captivating voice, with sounds and themes ranging from the mythic to the deeply intimate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Songs of Old” and “The Coming,” songs she sees as “twins” on the album, confront the religion that weighs heavily on her past and the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“'Songs of Old' imagines a girl who learns that the ornate, majestic splendor of her temple came at the cost of beautiful and scared cultures from across the sea, the demolishing of their gods, rituals and myths, and the total oppression of those people,” says Hoop. “Religion is one of those things that wells up, and takes over, and shows itself in dangerous ways when it's out of balance.“\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving from the dark side of religion to the imagination of myth, “Pegasi” explores “the idea of carrying something to the point of breaking,” says Hoop, drawing on the story of Pegasus and its accomplished rider who takes it for granted. “I fear you'll see the day that I've endured all I can take,” she sings to a gliding, wistful melody. “I won't bend, but I will break under the weight.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd from relatable allegory to intensely personal meditation, “The Lost Sky” is a dynamic, anxious song that “gives you a voice when you don’t have a say,” says Hoop. “I have a dear friend who was in a horrific accident that left him in a coma for two weeks. We thought we had lost him. He woke up to find himself silently divorced. This was a heartbreak for all  related, and I wrote this while we were waiting for him to wake up. His experience drove me to explore my own relationship with abandonment. I think the cruel nature of life and love is something we all can relate to one way or the next. When you don't have any say in how a relationship plays out, when you're cut off,  there's a relentless loop that plays again and again in your own mind of those words that you would say... if love was fair enough to let you speak it.

But sometimes the best course of action is to find your path and stay focused, which is what Lyla Foy has been doing with her music for the past couple of years. That discovery has led to the creation of her debut album, Mirrors the Sky, due in spring on Sub Pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything changed for the 25-year-old London songwriter one day in early 2012, when she canceled her evening plans to work on music at home. After years of various collaborations, she instead decided to tap into her creative energy all on her own, and that night her bit of happiness arrived in the form of the gorgeously stripped-down \"No Secrets,\" which she eventually shared with the world under the moniker WALL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"When I first started writing for the project, I wanted everything to be really focused on the melodies, but also really simple and minimal,\" says Foy. \"Just using a lot of bass, and simple drum patterns.

Let's not make a big deal about the transition: She's still in the same musical mindset that produced \"No Secrets\"--in fact, that very same song appears on Mirrors the Sky in a slightly updated form - and she still plays with the guys who have helped bring WALL's songs to the stage. If anything, listeners can just appreciate the irony that now that she's fully integrated her bandmates into her music, she's ditched the band name for her own. Unlike the WALL recordings, Mirrors the Sky contains plenty of input from the guys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the vibe on Mirrors the Sky is still restrained romanticism and dreamy drama, Foy had no problem scratching her pop itch on songs like the electro-grooved \"I Only\" and \"Feather Tongue\" and the slightly rockier (in a Christine McVie way) \"Impossible.\" Just try getting those choruses out of your head. Blips and bleeps comfortably mix it up with live drums, and Foy's keys, guitar, and bass help fill in the rest of the gentle soundscape. Throughout the record, synthesized and organic sounds play off each other's strengths, giving everything a cool edge while burning with passion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike usual, all of the songs started with Foy building layers of beats, keyboards, and vocal melodies in her computer, and she worked quickly to bottle her inspiration at the source, usually completing the skeleton of songs in a few hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Working fast is fun and keeps me excited,\" she says, \"rather than writing a song and playing it for a few weeks and then getting around to recording it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a project that began as a single song in a London bedroom, Lyla Foy's hypnotically hushed songs have come quite a long way over the past two years, figuratively and literally, as her worldwide deal with Sub Pop will find her spending quality time supporting Mirrors the Sky across the globe.

The band is now shortly, sweetly and simply called The Ruby Suns, and principal Ruby Sun Ryan McPhun is currently and ably abetted by Amee Robinson and Imogen Taylor. Although New Zealand is somewhat isolated in the southern most part of the Pacific Ocean, Ryan has remained true to his buccaneer instinct.

An African influence also exerts a strong presence in the album (“Kenya Dig It?” being the most obvious). Not only was he struck by the people (“Ole Rinka” is about a man he met in the Maasai Mara National Reserve), but he was also enamored of the music, especially Kenyan traditional music and modern day hip-hop.

Lucky for all of us here in the present, Hot Snakes are charging back, renewed, recording new music and playing shows with both drummers, and planning for the release of a new album in 2018 on Sub Pop Records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hot Snakes","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":40768824967343,"sku":"712191","price":16.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":40768825000111,"sku":"712192","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":40768825032879,"sku":"712194","price":7.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1527\/5174\/products\/hotsnakes-auditinprogress-3000px_a8bb80cf-0bcd-43b4-aefb-9f20f75e00e2.jpg?v=1690398909"},{"product_id":"teen-angels_daddy","title":"Daddy","description":"\u003cp\u003eReleased 1\/16\/96.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teen Angels","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":40768825131183,"sku":"703301","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":40768825163951,"sku":"703302","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1527\/5174\/products\/493.gif?v=1633414219"},{"product_id":"j-mascis_elastic-days","title":"Elastic Days","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs of November 6th 2018 all Loser Editions have sold out!

Comprised of WMHC vets, the trio was a miasmic tornado of guitar noise, bad attitude and near-subliminal pop-based-shape-shifting. Through their existence, Dinosaur (amended to Dinosaur Jr. for legal reasons) defined a very specific, very aggressive set of oblique song-based responses to what was going on. Their one constant was the scalp-fryingly loud guitar and deeply buried vocals of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.subpop.com\/artists\/j_mascis\"\u003eJ Mascis\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t  A couple of years before they ended their reign, J cut a solo album called \u003ci\u003eMartin + Me\u003c\/i\u003e. Recorded live and acoustic, the record allowed the bones of J's songs to be totally visible for the first time. Fans were surprised to hear how melodically elegant these compositions were, even if J still seemed interested in swallowing some of the words that most folks would have sung. Since then, through the reformation of the original Dinosaur Jr lineup in 2005, J has recorded solo albums now and then.

Mascis does almost all his own stunts, although Ken Miauri (who also appeared on \u003ci\u003eTied to a Star\u003c\/i\u003e) plays keyboards and there are a few guest vocal spots. These include old mates Pall Jenkins (Black Heart Procession), and Mark Mulcahy (Miracle Legion, etc.), as well as the newly added voice of Zoë Randell (\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.subpop.com\/artists\/luluc\"\u003eLuluc\u003c\/a\u003e)  among others. But the show is mostly J's and J's alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t  He laughs when I tell him I'm surprised by how melodic his vocals seem to have gotten. Asked if that was intentional, he says, “No. I took some singing lessons and do vocal warm-ups now, but that was mostly just to keep from blowing out my vocal cords when Dino started touring again. The biggest difference with this record might have to do with the drums. I'd just got a new drum set I was really excited about. I don't have too many drum outlets at the moment, so I played a lot more drums than I'd originally planned. I just kept playing. [laughs] I'd play the acoustic guitar parts then head right to the drums.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t  There is plenty of drumming on the dozen songs on \u003ci\u003eElastic Days\u003c\/i\u003e. But for those expecting the hallucinatory overload of Dinosaur Jr's live attack, the gentleness of the approach here will draw easy comparisons to Neil Young's binary approach to working solo versus working with Crazy Horse. This is a lazy man's shorthand, but it still rings true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eElastic Days\u003c\/i\u003e brims with great moments. Epic hooks that snare you in surprisingly subtle ways, guitar textures that slide against each other like old lovers, and structures that range from a neo-power-ballad (“Web So Dense”) to jazzily-canted West Coasty post-psych (“Give It Off”) to a track that subliminally recalls the keyboard approach of Scott Thurston-era Stooges (“Drop Me”). The album plays out with a combination of holism and variety that is certain to set many brains ablaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t  J says he'll be taking this album on the road later in the year. He'll be playing by himself, but unlike other solo tours he says he'll be standing up this time. “I used to just sit down and build a little fort around myself -- amps, music stands, drinks stands, all that stuff. But I just realized it sounds better if the amps are higher up because I'm so used to playing with stacks. So I'll stand this time.” I ask if it's not pretty weird to stand alone on a big stage. “Yeah,” he says. “But it's weird sitting down too.” Ha. Good point. One needs to be elastic.

Sub Pop, ever on the hunt for music’s Next Big Thing, enthusiastically agreed to fund and release the super-group’s debut, and recording commenced sometime in 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s at this point that things get hazy.

Since 1993, Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker—the married couple whose heaven-and-earth harmonies have always held the band’s center—have pioneered a subgenre, shrugged off its strictures, recorded a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/low\/christmas\"\u003eChristmas classic\u003c\/a\u003e, become a magnetic onstage force, and emerged as one of music’s most steadfast and vital vehicles for pulling light from our darkest emotional recesses. 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 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.

Johnson’s recordings, enriched by contributions from an ever-revolving cast of Chicagoan characters (the current lineup includes I Rowboat’s Dan Strack and percussionist John Byce) used a melancholy hand to touch on love and the human experience on 2001’s Perishable debut, Echolocation, and 2003’s Sub Pop-released Mouthfuls. Around the release of Mouthfuls, Harp magazine described the Fruit Bats as residing somewhere on a continuum between Califone and The Shins, combining, “…the latter’s widescreen vision with the former’s melodic knack to create something at once familiar and new.” \u003cbr\u003eAfter the years of extensive touring that followed, including stints with Modest Mouse, The Shins and Iron \u0026amp; Wine, as well as a handful of Wilco opening slots, Johnson returned to the drawing board with distinctly darker intent. “I was going to write this dark bummer record with shades of optimism, but my life started getting better,” he explains. The result of much soul-searching, Spelled in Bones is truly Johnson’s enlightened Romantic opus — in the 18th century English literary sense of the term. With an emphasis on the “bigger picture” of life as it relates to nature’s organic relationship to man (“Legs of Bees,” “Spelled in Bones”), and irrational, spontaneous moments of beauty and rebirth (“Every Day That We Wake Up It’s a Beautiful Day”), Spelled in Bones proffers warm, thoughtful, bittersweet pop that’s as hopeful as it is curious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fruit Bats","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":40768833257647,"sku":"706541","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":40768833290415,"sku":"706542","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1527\/5174\/products\/1903.jpg?v=1633414292"},{"product_id":"the-afghan-whigs_up-in-it","title":"Up In It","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUp In It\u003c\/i\u003e is The Afghan Whigs’ second full-length and their Sub Pop debut.
