Get ready for the tape-happy companion to Record Store Day.
The summer has ended which means Cassette Store Day is upon us once again. For the third annual celebration the festivities have expanded beyond the US and UK to include Germany, New Zealand, and Australia. The big day isn’t until October 17, but now you can browse the full release list.
A few immediate highlights pop out. Stones Throw will reissue Madlib‘s second album as Quasimoto, The Further Adventures Of Lord Quas while Kill Rock Stars will deliver Bratmobile’s classic Pottymouth. Still, the reissue game might have been won by Light In The Attic who have reissued the soundtrack to Shogun Assassin.
As for newer music, Autre Ne Veut will release The Age Of Transparency: The Avatar Sessions, a likely companion to his upcoming album. And 100%, the project from of Elaiza Santos, will receive her first physical release ever. If you’re unfamiliar with Santos’ music look no further than our Best Of Bandcamp column, which she topped in February with her crushing, anonymously released recording.
Head to the Cassette Store Day site now for the full list and participating stores.
