Fat Possum

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 are a band that never stops moving. Popular Manipulations is an accurate representation of how much Robby, Braden, Connor, and Pat have grown, individually and as one solid unit. They’ve fallen in love and had their hearts broken and put back together again. They’re not the young underage band anymore, they’ve stepped out of their comfort zone and have come face to face with things that are so much bigger than them. Popular Manipulations is life in the present. The way Robby belts from the depths of his chest compliments Pat’s crooning guitar while Braden and Connor lock in with a rhythm section so thick you could slice it with a knife. The songs are so visceral and compelling they make you like you’re experiencing every emotion at once. You can wade through the lyrical themes of manipulation, possessiveness, and anxiety or float among their dark and dreamy arrangements. Each song stands alone on its own but the synergy between them as a whole is explosive. Every song is epic and heart-stopping.
