SUNSET RUBDOWN's North American tour in support of "Random Spirit Lover", their new album on Jagjaguwar that comes out on October 9, begins with a Pop Montreal festival performance with BLACK MOUNTAIN, OAKLEY HALL and LIGHTNING DUST. Their tour then spans the breadth of the continent, including shows on the east and west coasts as well as the midwest. See below for a complete tour date listing.
Additionally, Jagjaguwar is making available a second MP3 preview of the record, of the song "WINGED/WICKED THINGS", which can be checked out here:
Sunset Rubdown - "Wicked Things"
And for those itching to get a hold of the new album, pre-orders are now available. The "Random Spirit Lover" CD and double LP can be purchased from Jagjaguwar's mailorder (http://www.scdistribution.com/cat/jag_catalognew.php) as well as participating retailers, and those customers who pre-order between now and the release date will receive a digital download coupon code to download the full album as early as September 25, a full two weeks
before the release date.
Finally, we're excited to announce that a limited amount of hand-numbered and silk-screened Sunset Rubdown posters featuring the art of Spencer Krug will be given away for free to those buying the new album at select retail establishments. There are less than 800 of these beautiful posters portraying a herd of unicorns fighting a winged man-thing, so purchase the CD or double LP early to get one (and please check in with your local store to see if they are bringing them in; we're trying to make them available to all, as long as supplies last.) For those who are geographically challenged, Insound.com will have a limited amount, available on a first come
first serve basis. This limited-edition poster will not be made available through Jagjaguwar's mailorder.
