Limited edition blue colour vinyl. Highly recommended. Tenth anniversary edition of Moon Duo's long-out-of-print debut. The new reissue will include the original album in its entirety, plus three additional rare tracks taken from Moon Duo's wild early days. Reflecting on the album, the band shared the following statement: "We made this record in a rehearsal space in San Francisco in late 2009. It was kind of a classic band space, shared by a rangy assortment of musicians over months and years, behind one of several similar doors in a dark red hall. A windowless room lit by string lights and an odd assortment of lamps, the walls a palimpsest of posters and gig fliers. There was a grimy, burn-pocked rug, cluttered gear in various stages of use and abandonment, and the air seemed to hang in a permanent film of smoke residue and stale beer. We recorded to a 4-track tape machine over the course of a few nights - we'd just start the beats, hit 'record' and let fly. We had a vague sense of coalescence, or fomentation, like a glimpse of a thing in outline which you can't yet see, but neither of us knew at the time that this was the record that would mark the beginning of our life as a touring band and would initiate our connections to so many (now long-time) friends, familiars and collaborators. Ten years feels like both a lifetime and the blink of an eye - measurable but impossible to quantify. These four tracks, and the others that join them here, are a snapshot of our earliest incarnation: flying blind, but high on the freedom of experimentation and filled with hope for things to come." "Escape" was originally released on Woodsist in 2010. "A Little Way Different" taken from the Welcome Home: Diggin' the Universe comp on Woodsist. "Catch As Catch Can" and "Set It On Fire" taken from a 2010 7-inch on Agitated Records.
