Fat Possum

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.

In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.

The Districts are an American indie rock band hailing from Lititz, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2009, they have gained a reputation for their unique sound and captivating live performances. Drawing inspiration from a variety of genres, *The Districts* have crafted a distinctive style that sets them apart from their peers.

With influences ranging from alternative rock to folk and blues, *The Districts* create music that is both introspective and energetic. Their raw lyrics and powerful vocals resonate with listeners, while their dynamic instrumentals showcase their musical prowess. They have been compared to artists such as Atta Boy, Naked Giants, Born Ruffians, and Twin Peaks.

Having toured extensively across the United States and beyond, *The Districts* have built a dedicated fan base who eagerly anticipate each new release. Their discography includes critically acclaimed albums such as "A Flourish and a Spoil" and "Popular Manipulations." With each album, they continue to push boundaries and evolve as artists.

The Districts return with their biggest, boldest and most naturally pop album. It's upbeat and has a real XTC mid period edge. It's a bundle of fun and a real surprise.

This record is a new era. The desire to create something larger than yourself, that will infiltrate people’s hearts like well oiled machines, to paint pictures that will shake them and create a resounding push forward towards something more. In our pandemic isolation, what we wanted was to play a loud collage of music, unconfined by preconceived notions of what it should be, and to transcend ourselves in a room full of breathing, screaming, vibrating human beings - to let the darkness out in a cathartic squeal of noise, eclipsing it with light. We wanted to feel it all at once with you and to escape this fucked up world and find our way into a better one together.
