Sturgill Simpson To Celebrate 10th Anniversary Of 2014 Album With Reissue
Sturgill Simpson is reissuing his album, Metamodern Sounds In Country Music, in celebration of its 10th anniversary on May 10.
Originally released on May 13, 2014, the album marked a career breakthrough for Simpson personally and proved to be a shift-maker within the larger country music genre. The new edition features a reimagined album cover and vinyl package, pressed on 180g black vinyl with an “old-style” tip-on jacket. For more information, click here.
The album was recorded live-to-tape in four dates and features Simpson alongside his original band—bassist Kevin Black, guitarist Laur Joamets and drummer Miles Miller. In 2014, he shared, “Myriad worldly offerings—religion, drugs and more—all claim to be the omnipotent universal truth, but in my experience, love is the only certainty. That’s what this record is about.”
Metamodern Sounds In Country Music has been included on best-of-the-year lists by publications such as The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice’s Pazz & Jop, NPR Music, American Songwriter, Stereogum, Los Angeles Times, Pitchfork, Paste, KCRW,
