It’s a mystery why the big ol’ streamers are calling an instrumental song “explicit,” but rest assured the whole family can enjoy this collection of songs about UFOs, murder, drinking, boating, cosmic consciousness etc etc

Coming Friday September 1st: “Chicory” – a 7 track mini-album of Wild Honey arrangements of songs by Calliope, Fred Eaglesmith, Michael Dause/Shantyland, Grateful Dead, plus some new original instrumental pieces. Culled from the sessions of our forthcoming “Volume 3” album, “Chicory” is springing up like a late summer wildflower and will be streaming everywhere 9/1/2023. Today you can check out “Marquette Bay,” written by Michael Dause and based on an arrangement we saw him play with Ben Traverse earlier this year – free download available at GTG Records Bandcamp!
Out Now! Split record featuring four new songs apiece from The Sexy Murders and Drinking Mercury. Limited run of clear vinyl will be out in March too! We’ve been tinkering with this release for a little awhile now and we’re very excited to set it out into the world. This is the first long-from release from Drinking Mercury since 2011’s Orcades and while there have been some memorable compilation appearances from this band in the interim it’s nice to have a collection of tunes from the original GTG band in 2018. This record also doubles as the debut release from The Sexy Murders, the latest project to feature Crooked Sound’s Eric Merckling, in collaboration with his old Calliope bandmate Andy Dryer and perennial GTG player Hattie Danby. Their contributions to the record do recall the first two Calliope albums , and Eric’s Crooked Sound project releases but they also have their own unique vibe, showcasing the creativity and songwriting chops of these Michigan music veterans.
At the bandcamp link you can order the vinyl version, which is a very limited edition lathe-cut clear 12-inch manufactured by Little Elephant Lathe Cuts in Toledo. The records are packaged in an origami-style fold with artwork unique to the vinyl version. Only a couple dozen of these were pressed so get on it if you want one! They’ll ship out in March and we’ll also have a couple release parties for the record then too. Stay tuned!

So check out the compilation, featuring brand new recordings of George Harrison songs by Jason Alarm, Carm, The Plurals, Calliope, The Hunky Newcomers, Johnny Unicorn, The Stick Arounds, Drinking Mercury, Scary Women, Mad Moon, Dim, and more! 21 different artists!
