Sin Ropas, Tim Hurley & Danni Iosello makes their home in Marshall, North Carolina. They moved into the town’s abandoned library building where they wrote and recorded “Fire Prizes”. The week they started recording, the French Broad River, which divides Marshall along the rail lines, jumped its banks and threatened the town. A dark and slow chaos ensued: people scattered languidly, trains sneaked along their tracks lowing tentatively, smaller, and then larger, pieces of people’s lives floated past the back doors of the library to the lost-sound accompaniment of the landlady’s dish collection clanking and ringing at the watertop below.
This release, Matryoshka doll-like, is limited to 485. There is the die-cut letter pressed jacket with the die cut tree revealing the full color inner-sleeve and when you pull the last layer back the picture disc is revealed. Brent Green provided the artwork for the inner-sleeve and picture disc while the fine folks at Dexterity Press provided the super die-cut jacket with inked letter pressed font.
