Description:

RSD 2022 RSD titles are limited to one copy per person. With fairness in mind, we have to prohibit multiple buys of the same release. 2 LP 1000 UK / 1000 WW Released briefly on vinyl on a tiny US label in 2013, a 60 minute album squeezed onto one piece of plastic, it is very, very hard to find and typically sells for $60 on Discogs when copies come onto the market. 2 x 12″ This edition is a new half-speed master cut from the original source by John Webber at Air Studios in London with the album spread across four sides of 140g golden-coloured vinyl, in a gatefold sleeve reflecting the original CD artwork with a Spot UV finish and a double-sided lyric insert. “The Graceless Age is extraordinary, a profound and moving meditation – the kind of album that answers questions you didnt realise you were asking….Lyrically, though, its remarkable: brutal, frank and beautiful…. I dont expect to hear a better album this year.” – ***** The Guardian “Intensely beautiful… Like Father John Misty, Mark Lanegan and Josh T Pearson rolled into one really broken dream” – **** Andy Fyfe, Q magazine. “Occasionally, an album comes out of nowhere that completely blows your mind. Like this one” – ***** Simon Cosyns, The Sun. 9/10 “Album Of The Month” Allan Jones, Uncut. [2nd review] “instant classic…..the original 10-song album is an unflinching, personal exorcism, set against a dense squall of keyboards, strings, percussion and guitars, as Murry lays bare the dark calamities of a life racked with pain, addiction, betrayal, guilt and self-destruction.” ***** MOJO “Fearlessly exposes his dark past through songs that are powerful and healing. A remarkable album” Lee Edwards, Electric Ghost. “A genuine American masterpiece” – ***** Martin Dowsing, R2 magazine. “The Graceless Age is a debut album which will stand the test of time as one of the finest examples of Americana in a long, long time” – Ian Parker, For Folk’s Sake “A densely textured record that rewards immersion” – 7/10 David Cowling, Americana UK “A true classic in every way. Album of the year, without a doubt” – Martyn Coppack, Echoes And Dust “A triumph in the face of adversity” – **** Paul Hinkley Smith, American Roots UK “His future as a songwriter and artist of major stature and authority is right now”- 4.5/5 Jim Beviglia, American Songwriter Magazine “Americana’s toughest new star” – Allan Jones, Uncut live review, March 2013 “The Graceless Age… is a compellingly honest, deeply emotional singer-songwriter classic.” – Will Hodgkinson, The Times “Already touted as an Americana album of the year” – Steve Bennett, Acoustic Magazine “The new sound of weird America” – NME “A stunning album” **** Irish Daily Star “A harrowing yet somehow strangely beautiful album. A masterful debut” – The Frontline Music “My choice as Album Of The Year” – Trevor J Leeden, Rhythms.com.au “An awe inspiring record” – Craig Carry, Fractured Air Tracklisting 01.
