Ladybug Transistor

25th Anniversary Edition repress of The Ladybug Transistor album "The Albemarle Sound" on black vinyl w/ digital bonus tracks and full color poster. Originally released in 1999 on Merge Records, The Albemarle Sound, the third full-length LP by Brooklyn, New York's The Ladybug Transistor, exists just outside it's fixed point in time and space. Perhaps the last great pop album of the 20th century, The Albemarle Sound is like few records from the turn of the millennium, it's attention turned to the intricate arrangements of late 1960s pop and the strange and familiar environs of home. For the 25th anniversary of The Albemarle Sound, the record has been lovingly reissued on silver vinyl by Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. The CD includes 12 bonus tracks which break open the year-long recording process with the inclusion of rare B-sides, four-track demos, instrumentals and alternate mixes, further highlighting the band's mastery of songcraft while teasing out the intricate worlds those songs contain, making a case, as fans of The Ladybug Transistor have known for decades now, that The Albemarle Sound is as infinitely rewarding to return to as it is to visit for the first time.
