Hey! Did you know that the Solid Home Life LP is out now?! BECAUSE IT IS.

Co-released by People In A Position To Know, Fin Records, and Curly Cassettes!

It’s the debut album from Greg Olin (Graves) and Lindsay Schief (LAKE), with accompaniment by friends like Karl Blau, Nate Ashley, and many others. An instant classic. I honestly can’t stop listening to this record.

Limited to 500 copies on “sea-blue” vinyl. $12 + shipping.
We’ve got 100 copies for sale. Get it from us, any of the other record labels that co-released it, or fine record stores around Seattle and Olympia.

Buy it in the Lost Sound Tapes online shop!
