Iron and Wine Declare Another Record Store Day With Low Anthem Split

Iron and Wine had this big announcement on Wednesday: While Record Store Day was officially this past weekend, we decided that any day could and should be record store day. So, on May 17th, Iron and Wine will release a split 12" featuring recent sessions from both bands from the Daytrotter vaults.

This 12" is limited to 1000 copies and is being offered exclusively thru mom and pop records stores around the country, along with The Rough Trade shop in London should you live across the pond. There will also be a select number of copies available thru each band's website, the Daytrotter website and at the shows if there are any left!

We're trying our best to make it available to our fans that really want it, and cater as much as possible to our friends in retail.

If you've already downloaded the session from Daytrotter, then you already have a good idea what to expect from this release. However, we went out of our way to try and make sure it's worth your time and money. The sessions were mastered for vinyl by the fine folks at Chicago Mastering Services (use them) and we also had our friends at Dexterity Press (i.e. Jeff Mueller from Rodan, June of 44, The Shipping News) print up a beautiful letter press insert that you'll find inside. We've also got something cooking to include by street date, but we're gonna hold off on sharing that until we're sure it comes together.

This is the first ever Daytrotter session to be issued on vinyl and only the second self-release for Iron and Wine - the first being the limited run of tour EP cd's that were sold on that first Ugly Casanova tour. Self releasing things here and there is an idea we've been kicking around, so keep an eye out for more things in the future.
