Secretly Canadian is set to reissue Early Day Miners’ classic LP Placer Found in a new 20th Anniversary Edition and the band is hitting the road to promote the reissue. We're excited to welcome them to Grimey's on Saturday, March 14th, for a free, all ages in-store performance at 5PM. The new reissue, fittingly now on a Bloomington-based indie label (the band is from Bloomington, IN), after the initial release on Western Vinyl, includes two previously-unreleased instrumental tracks that show fascinating glimpses into creative paths not taken. "Prospect Refuge" is a delicious slice of posi-vibes math-rock, while the taut, vaguely ominous "Blue Casino" makes an entirely different song out of a riff later utilized for the standout "Jefferson" from the band's 2003 Jefferson at Rest LP. You can preorder the vinyl now.
"A whisper awash in celestial din, Placer Found establishes the sonic and emotional palette that would come to define Dan Burton's work as Early Day Miners. This is music that rewards patience, and reveals itself more with each listen. There's a deep clarity within the soft focus - equal parts lost and found. Everything in its right place. We need this music now more than ever." - Charlie Hall, The War on Drugs.
