Back on vinyl for its 30th anniversary! Blanket Warm is a genuine buried-treasure reissue: a record contemporary critics compared to the Rolling Stones, Guided by Voices, and Tindersticks, and one a new generation of listeners has rediscovered as a missing link to Neutral Milk Hotel and Sufjan Stevens’ chamber-folk. Lullaby for the Working Class formed in Lincoln, Nebraska in the winter of 1994, when multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis and singer-guitarist Ted Stevens began writing together. Working from two home-recorded demos - and without having played a single live show - the band signed to New Jersey’s Bar\/None Records in 1995. Blanket Warm was recorded and mixed by the Mogis brothers between December 1994 and April 1996 at their own Whoopass Recording Studio in Lincoln. Bar\/None issued the album on CD in September 1996, while the vinyl LP went out through Lumberjack\/Saddle Creek imprint in a pressing of just 1,000 copies - long out of print, and the edition this reissue restores to the format. The result splits the difference between rustic and ornate: acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, and upright bass sit alongside a chamber ensemble of violin, cello, clarinet, trumpet, and trombone. Critics at the time reached for an unusually wide range of comparisons - the Rolling Stones, Guided by Voices, Tindersticks, Van Morrison - united mainly by the sense that nothing else sounded quite like it. Ted Stevens’ plainspoken, image-driven lyrics and unhurried delivery anchor songs that unfold with more patience and more instrumental color than the alt-country and lo-fi indie rock the band got lumped in with on release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood Morning\u003cbr\u003e\nHoney, Drop the Knife\u003cbr\u003e\nTurpentine\u003cbr\u003e\nSpreading the Evening Sky with Crows\u003cbr\u003e\nBoar’s Nest\u003cbr\u003e\nEskimo Song Duel\u003cbr\u003e\nThree Peas in a Pod\u003cbr\u003e\nRye\u003cbr\u003e\nQueen of the Long-Legged Insects\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Drama of Your Life\u003cbr\u003e\nFebruary North 24th Street\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Wounded Spider\u003cbr\u003e\nGood Night\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lullaby for the Working Class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlbum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanket Warm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smokey Black Vinyl LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 Passenger Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP15P25C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840526516186\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indie \u0026amp; Alternative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: This is a pre-order item with a release date of 13.11.26.
