Richmond Fontaine - We Used To Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River (RSD 2021)

This is a (belated) Record Store Day 2021 release.

Limited edition of 1000 on 180g gold colour vinyl with printed inner. Richmond Fontaine's 8th album " We Used to Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River", is Richmond Fontaine at their strongest with Willy Vlautin taking over a year to write; most of it autobiographical. The CD was originally released through El Cortez/Dcor Records in 2009 and this is the first time Dcor will release the vinyl. It was previously released in 2011 by Diverse in a limited pressing. This was the bands last album recorded with JD Foster and is still seen as one of their strongest. 'Raw, autobiographical brilliance' - 5/5 Uncut 'A dreamy, reverb-laden masterpiece' - 5/5 Sunday Express 'Beautiful slices of Americana'- 4/5 Q 'Vlautin's gift for observational storytelling helps make this their finest record' - Mail On Sunday
