Brad Laner / Joensuu 1685 - Split 12"

A collaborative 12" between noise pop legend Brad Laner and Finnish experimental trio Joensuu 1685, this limited edition vinyl-only project is relased by Oslo-based label Splendour and distributed in North America exclusively by Hometapes. Brad Laner, who broke ground as founder/leader of Medicine, contributes three tracks - all 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 hare for anyone with "Chicago VI" and "Loveless" in their 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 17-minute-long noise rock piece "Lost Highway" is the first track to surface from those sessions.
