WILD FLAG
We know you’re thrilled about Record Store Day 2011. Heck, you wouldn’t be bothering to read this blog if you weren’t. But if you weren’t keyed up to visit your local record shop to pick up some exclusive wax, well, this news should push you right over the edge.
The fine folks at Merge Records just announced today that WILD FLAG, the indie supergroup that marks the return of former Sleater-Kinney guitarist, and current Portlandia star, Carrie Brownstein to the studio and the stage, will be releasing their first take home piece of music as an exclusive for RSD 2011.
The 7″ will feature two brand new songs produced by Spoon front man Britt Daniel: “Future Crimes” and “Glass Tambourine”, the latter of which you can listen to up at NPR’s All Songs Considered blog.
Merge is also planning a bunch of other amazing sounding RSD 2011 exclusives, including a vinyl reissue of Superchunk‘s Here’s Where The Strings Come In, and a split 7″ with the ‘Chunk and Coliseum each covering their favorite Misfits songs.
