Hey everyone,
Hope you’re all doing well!
First of these for a little while so there is a fair bit to share with you. Here we have several different and distinct deep dives on the Sojourner boxset and that era of Magnolia Electric Co. alongside some supremely cool fan art, new demo recordings and an unearthed photo of Jason performing with Hiss Golden Messenger’s MC Taylor.
We’ll be back next week with another Lamb & Flag demo with “Its A Long Wait” from Tape 2.
Take care,
S&D x

“Unitas to Berry, Unitas to Berry, So good its scary”
We were recently sent this amazing poster from artist Jack / Interstate Dust featuring all of the people name-checked in The Big Game Is Every Night.
Very very cool an very impossible for us to print and release as a poster so for now we’ll just have to enjoy it here!
