  2. Darnielle just tweeted the preorders for the remastered LP on twitter. Link and details below.

    The last of the "all-home-recordings albums" by the Mountain Goats and the only one about which that claim is true, All Hail West Texas was originally released as a free-standing compact disc on the late, lamented Emperor Jones. That was about a decade ago. The songs were originally transferred from the cassettes onto which they were recorded to 1/2" reels at Tiny Telephone by Alex Newport, who also played in Fudge Tunnel. John got really excited when he realized his tapes were being EQ'd by the guy from Fudge Tunnel. 

    Remastered from those reels, along with 7 unearthed songs from the two surviving contemporaneous cassettes, All Hail West Texas stands as the peak of the Mountain Goats' home recording era, a time people like to refer to as "when John Darnielle had his four-track," except John did not actually use a four-track. He used the condenser mic of a Panasonic boombox and there was no overdubbing. All songs recorded on the day they were written, usually within minutes of the actual composition. Highlights include "Jenny," "Fall of the Star High School Running Back," and "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton," a song which has compelled audiences around the globe to yell "Hail Satan," and to mean it. 

    Package art features a newly penned 1,800-word essay by John detailing his songwriting and recording process for the album. 

    The LP is packaged in a deluxe gatefold jacket and includes a digital download of the full record plus the seven additional tracks. The CD, which includes the full album and extra tracks on one disc, comes in a premium digipak with a 12-page booklet. All preorders will ship to arrive on or around the release date of July 23.

My record label, Give Up and Die, is releasing a 7" for My Man (http://mymantheband.bandcamp.com/releases) and a full length for Scoundrel (http://scoundrelchicago.bandcamp.com/) before summer if things go smoothly. There will be no preorder so I will update this thread and our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/giveupanddie/ when they are in hand and for sale. Maybe it's too early to start promoting these but I'm really excited and want you guys to check out these bands.
