VINYL FORMAT. This limited edition 12" (1000 copies worldwide) pairs noise pop legend Brad Laner (from seminal shoegaze band Medicine) with the eclectic, dark and bluesy Finnish trio Joensuu 1685. Brad Laner contributes three tracks, which are comparable to the type of lucid, eccentric noise pop that made his last two solo LPs so striking and masterful. Brad's take on Chicago's "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" is a must here for anyone with Chicago VI and Loveless in the same record collection. During a break from touring their first album and supporting Wolf Parade, Joensuu 1685 recorded hours of new material in a cabin in Northern Finland. The eerie and nearly seventeen minute long noise rock piece "Lost Highway" is the first track to surface from these sessions. This release is the second LP from the Oslo-based record label Splendour.
