From the rural swirls of upstate New York and the frenzy of the Akron/Family tour, Slaraffenland and Hometapes announce today the release of We’re on Your Side, the long-awaited followup to Private Cinema and the Sunshine EP from the Copenhagen five-piece.
We’re on Your Side is both sonically and visually majestic, recorded with care in Copenhagen to capture the energy of Slaraffenland’s smashing live show. To bring the sounds into the physical world, Cody Hudson designed both the CD and LP packaging - featuring everything from a newsprint poster to a sticker - and we decided to cut the sounds into transparent red vinyl. The act of holding this record is exquisite foreplay for your listening.
We’re shipping now! Order here. While supplies last, those who order the We’re on Your Side LP will also receive a copy of the Meet and Greet 7” (also designed by Cody and on blue vinyl). And, we STILL have copies available of the limited edition (of 100) Cody Hudson-signed-and-scribbled-on 7”s. If you order the 7” directly, you’ll receive one of these special versions.
Slaraffenland is on tour NOW with Akron/Family in the eastern US. This includes a special record release show in Brooklyn at Union Pool next Tuesday September 22.
