jaill's LP, that's how we burn, is easily one of my favorites from the past year, as evidenced by being highlighted here upon the record's release, consistently holding a space in the 'on repeat' feature for a while, and even earning a spot on the summerset mixtape, so you can imagine how happy i was to see a post yesterday on styrofoam drone regarding a re-issue of another record. the band's previous LP, there's no sky (oh my my), was recorded in 2008 in the basement of a funeral home (before the band had to add an 'L' to their name), and was released in 2009 as a small-press hand made vinyl copy. burger records later released it as a cassette and has now reissued it on 12" vinyl. the LP is 12-tracks long and clocks in at just over 30 minutes of catchy, witty, and powerful songs that are definitely worth a listen. the band has been together for over 8 years and it was this record that caught the attention of sub pop!, thus leading to making the release of that's how we burn possible. it's nice to see a band work toward success rather than much of the one-hit, one-record stuff that seems to be everywhere these days.
it also doesn't hurt (and isn't surprising) to hear the milwaukee band say that they're good friends with thomas function, wheels on fire, and the strange boys, which are all favorites here. the reissue of there's no sky (oh my my) is limited to only 1,000 copies so grab it while you can here or here.
