Hawaii: Double Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Drag City 
Release Date: 22nd November

Believe it or not The High Llamas were a 90s band, such was their knack of nailing the purest of Big Star meets The Band and Steely Dan sounds. Their peak-back catalogue gets a Drag City reissue with some records making it onto big disc for the first time. Perfection!

The High Llamas discover America – yes, it had been done before, but not via their envisaged pilgrims’ passage. Energized by the breakthroughs of Gideon Gaye, they went all-in, producing a wide-screen epic further exploring their unique agenda. The reference points multiplied, stretching through realms of classic pop and jazz, soundtrack music, exotica and neo-Americana, while charting a journey through musical landscapes of abiding lightness.
