1960 pre-orders!
the day has arrived…1960 goes on sale (pre-orders now, full release on august 4). get right on over to sounds familyre
watch videos of the sessions & read things like this:
An album almost two years in the making. Glen Galaxy’s magnum opus. The culmination of fifteen years of wild-eyed sonic-sculpting. On August 4th, 2009, Soul-Junk’s “1960″ will be unveiled to — or rather, unleashed on — the wide world. With its untamed versification and ragged beauty, it is an album more bombastic than July 4th fireworks, more poetic than Marcel Proust, and its release is just around the corner! Click here to pre-order.
To help prepare the way, Sounds Familyre is kicking off the Soul-Junk Reissue Campaign. The goal of this campaign is to gather ALL the Soul-Junk titles (full albums as well as EPs) under one roof (the Sounds Familyre roof). It’s quite an endeavor and will take some time to complete, but it’s worth striving for! The first of these reissues are “1957″, “1958″, and “1959″, available now at the Sounds Familyre shop or at your favorite digital retailer. “1951″ and “1955″ will be reissued very soon (late August/early September), and the digital versions will also contain several never-before heard bonus tracks, remixed and remastered by Daniel Smith.
And if it’s possible, there’s yet another reason to get excited about these digital reissues: if you order through iTunes, your download will also include a beautiful digital booklet (in PDF format) created especially for the occasion, with original album artwork, credits, and so on masterfully designed by Anita Santiago. Of course, if you are the type of person that prefers to hold a CD in your hands, just click here and add it to your cart.
Finally, keep your eye on the Sounds Familyre Blog. Over the next couple weeks, three new videos will be posted featuring fantastic in-studio footage from the “1960″ recording sessions (the first one is already up). The videos were created by Soul-Junk keys-man Todd Fadel and star Glen Galaxy, Emil Nikolaisen, Daniel Smith, Dan Zimmerman, and others!
at long last indeed.

yeah we primed the hype machine way early on this* but keep your hearing for a few more days senior citizens…it will be well worth it. the good peoples at sounds familyre can tell you i had the hardest time waiting to release this of anyone. the beautiful thing about taking your time is that there’s no second thoughts – it’s all exactly how it’s supposed to be.
& oh yes wilmington OH will experience the liveness of saturn ring hula – i’ll let the booking agent know >>
Just received my copy 5 minutes ago. Artwork is great – I love the actual CD it is the best looking cd i’ve ever seen.
only 2 tracks in but loving it already! Worth the wait. Thanks Glen – glad I haven’t gone deaf yet
recieved yesterday in the mail… right on the release date (good timing).
yet to listen to it all-the-way-through but i really dug track 11 (Ahasuerus Jig).
magnum opus indeed… i was going to use the exact same words, and then i read them there in the press release… WOW glen, it feels like this is the culmination of so much effort, so much growth, so much travel. Not that it’s an end point, but certainly a flag firmly planted on the long slow accent that is your astounding musical output. This body of work takes the proverbial cake. I hope that many will see and hear!!! Speaking of, is there talk of a tour? I know it’s so hard w/ job, wife, kids… but we’d love to see some JUNK here in Raleigh/Carrboro NC. You have a place to crash!
much love *m
