Once upon a time, Disq released a fantastic 7" with us through our Document Series. We saw them play a show to celebrate its release and the rest is history. Simply put, this is a massive, incredible band and we are *honored* to be releasing their debut LP 'Collector' on March 6. Watch a video for the first song, "Daily Routine," directed by Coool.

You can pre-order the record now on limited edition coke bottle clear (/200) + black vinyl, compact disc, cassette, and digitally. Even more, they'll be bringing these songs on the road for their first ever headline tour, on-sale Friday at noon local. See all dates + more info at thisisdisq.com

 

Saddle Creek's Album of the Month for December is Adrianne Lenker's 2018 solo LP abysskiss. Both a precursor to what would follow, and a magical world of its own, it showcases the finest living songwriter at the top of her game. On sale throughout December, with reduced LP / CD / Digital options!

Today, Hand Habits has announced a new EP featuring covers of their song "wildfire" performed by Angel Olsen, Lomelda, Kacey Johansing, Tara Jane O'Neil and John Andrews & The Yawns - as well as the original. "wildfire," a song written during the California Wildfires in 2017, is a stand out from Hand Habits' critically acclaimed sophomore album, placeholder.

Hand Habits, in partnership with Saddle Creek and Bandcamp, will be donating 100% of the profits raised from this campaign to the Amazon Conservation Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, that has been protecting the western Amazon for almost 20 years. More info about the campaign, which features 3 different pledge levels, can be found HERE. Once the fundraising goal is met, the vinyl will be put into production and the entire EP will be released exclusively via Bandcamp.

It's November and we're here to remind you of the dark brilliance of The Faint's Blank-Wave Arcade LP, released on Saddle Creek 20(!) years ago, 1st Nov 1999.

Frances Quinlan is known as the driving force behind Hop Along and one of the most prominent songwriters with one of the most distinct and inimitable voices in the indie rock space over the past decade. Frances is constantly evolving as both a visual artist and musician, and as many of you know, Hop Along started as a solo project called Hop Along, Queen Ansleis.

We are now thrilled to announce their debut solo album under their own name. Frances Quinlan's 'Likewise' will arrive January 31st, and it is stunning. Pre-order "Likewise" here.
