Just saw this awesome news this morning. If any of you were fans of Zookeeper, which is a project of Chris Simpson from Mineral, this release is essentially Zookeeper's first EP and first full-length (Becoming All Things) being released on vinyl for the first time as a 2xLP that also includes 3 previously unreleased tracks. The preorder also includes a download of an unreleased ten song album of home demos recorded in 2004-2005. I used to see them play all the time when I lived in Austin, so I'm pumped! https://www.spartanrecords.com/products/699290-mountain-time-saint-francis-zookeeper https://mountaintime.bandcamp.com/album/saint-francis-zookeeper

Chris Simpson's debut for his new project, Mountain Time is up for preorder. Rolling Stone wrote something about it, and included one track you can stream. First pressing looks to be limited to 300 with two variants to choose from, and you can pre-order here. Chris is one of my favorite songwriters ever. Can't wait for this!

I used to live in Austin, and have seen Zookeeper play dozens of times. I can't even describe how pumped I am for the Mineral reunion show, and for his upcoming record, Pink Chalk. Count Your Lucky Stars put up the preorder, and I think Mineral will have some on tour. Here's the PO link: http://countyourluckystars.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-zookeeper-pink-chalk-lp I'll see Mineral in NYC next week, so I'll try my luck there first. It looks like they have some other bundles with t-shirts, but I can't see what the shirt looks like. You can also stream the album on Spotify. I'm loving it. It's a lot more low key than his past offerings...in a good way.
