Introducing BAND BOOKS, a curated booklist and shoppable display to accompany the release of Girl, You'll Be a Giant Soon from Virginia Creeper (@antiquatedjoke) — a grungey, bass-soaked record that beautifully captures VC's unique brand of "pastoral sludge". We were delighted when VC reached out to us about collaborating on a book display of titles they read or were inspired by while making this record. Since we opened, VC has been a friend and fan of the store, and we couldn't be more excited to showcase their latest release. GYBAGS is out now on Bandcamp, with a limited number of cassettes available for purchase at @alienatedmajestybooks.

our album, “GIRL, YOU’LL BE A GIANT SOON” IS OUT NOW 🔓 10 songs about loss and resentment and sports, among other things. (except apparently not on apple music or youtube yet :/ ). thank you to @sprotsplayer for engineering, producing, & mixing, to @tommydread & @alexaloneworld for providing their recording spaces & additional prowess, & to @adamgonsalves at telegraph mastering for putting the final touches on everything. thanks also to @filmnfish & @y.a.l.l.b.o.i for recording on several tracks. swipe for the full credits. huge thank you also to @darling_farm for the album art & to @candlepin_records for providing a home for the record. <3 we’re playing release shows tomorrow, saturday, 2/7, in san antonio at @thelonesomerose with @elnuh, @stontheband, & @lamplandband, and on sunday, 2/22, in austin at @29thstreetballroom with @proun1234, @a.l.west, & @ritual_alt. sometimes it feels like the next time we post about something it will finally be into an atmosphere where there aren’t any number of mass atrocities happening in our country and the world, and i won’t feel like a self-righteous idiot trying to address them, but of course, they instead just grow worse and more abundant, and the sharing of anything else increasingly hollow. the internet is an echo chamber, but nonetheless, we are grateful for music & the communities we are a part of because of it, and the ways in which those communities provide respite, insight, catharsis, & support in the face of a cRuMbLiNg eMpiRe. free palestine, fuck ice, happy super bowl sunday.
