Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair, the critically acclaimed debut full-length from
La Dispute (Grand Rapids, MI), will finally receive the vinyl pressing it deserves, courtesy of the venerable
No Sleep Records. The official street date for the double 12" release is 09/22/09, but the label is taking pre-orders now. To snag your copy, go
here.
Originally released as a CD in November of 2008, the 2xLP is being pressed on brown / black and clear / black color ways, with each color limited to 500 and a total first pressing of 1000. The records will be packaged inside a beautiful gatefold jacket and the first 100 orders will receive the brown / black combo with a hand-screened d side, as well as a special two color print.
Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River... is undoubtedly chaotic and unrelenting, and its twelve tracks are cranked out with expert precision and the utmost enthusiasm and fervor. Nevertheless, La Dispute’s contemplative attempt to dig below the surface of human interaction while simultaneously gazing upward and inward – both lyrically and instrumentally – is the real driving force behind this album; it’s what makes it truly essential listening.

Said The King To The River" and "
