--THREE LOBED RECORDINGS 20th ANNIVERSARY SUBSCRIPTION (7 ALBUMS, 2 SHIRTS)--
Twenty years is a while. Sure, all numbers are arbitrary mile markers, but the ones that are divisible by 10 always seem to take on some sort of particular relevant or stature. Was Three Lobed Recordings ever intended to be around for twenty years? Not exactly, but by that same measure it wasn’t established to be necessarily temporary either. The original ethos was an effort and desire to be of an assistance to / involved with the scene, the sort of situation where so long as things remained fun there would be no reason to stop. The fact that this is a conversation to even have as we come in on twenty years states that yes, this is still pretty fun.
Ten years as a label were marked by assembling the Not The Spaces You Know, But Between Them box set. Fifteen years were marked by assembling the Parallelogram collection. Twenty years is not marked by a single discrete project but rather a yearlong series. Unlike its predecessors, this series / project does not have a single overarching name. Nor is it an all or nothing affair, like those that came before it. The Three Lobed Recordings 20th Anniversary Series consists of six free-standing LPs released over a year’s time. A situation where a listener can pick up the titles that speak to directly to them. The titles are Soundkeeper by the Gunn-Truscinski Duo (a 2xLP) due out in October 2020 followed over the course of 2021 by albums from Daniel Bachman, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Six Organs of Admittance, Body/Head and Sonic Youth. More details on all of the non-Gunn-Truscinski Duo LPs will be revealed in due time but we can tell you that there is at least one additional 2xLP in this upcoming lineup.
