Michigan Folk royalty Frontier Ruckus have a new album called Eternity of Dimming due out next year on Quite Scientific Records. The double LP/CD/Digital release is due on January 29th, 2013 but the pre-order is available now from their Bandcamp shop.
The 20 track opus (!!!) has some streaming tracks and outlines a pretty attractive package for the vinyl at $20.00. For your measly twenty bones, you get the Double LP in a gatefold jacket along with a double sided lyric sheet (and if you are familiar with FR lyrics, this will be a great read) and a couple of postcard/stickers. All of it for $20 – I run an indie label and I know that is a great price, so come on folks this one is a no brainer.
So head on over to the Bandcamp page HERE or visit their Website and pick up a pre-order already. Just in case you are not convinced yet, how about another couple of songs that I find a compelling argument.
If you are in the Michigan area, they are closing out a night at Mittenfest at Woodruff’s Bar in Ypsilanti on January 1st. For more info on that and the festival in general you can visit them at www.mittenfest.org.
