Jake Xerxes Fussell - What In The Natural World - LP

Entrancing guitarist and singer Jake Xerxes Fussell follows his celebrated self-titled debut (produced by William Tyler) with a moving new album of Natural Questions in the form of transmogrified folk/blues koans. This time these radiant ancient tunes tone several shades darker while amplifying their absurdist humor, illuminating our national, and psychic, predicaments. Featuring art by iconic painter Roger Brown and contributions from three notable Nathans—Nathan Bowles (Steve Gunn), Nathan Salsburg (Alan Lomax Archive), and Nathan Golub (Mountain Goats)—as well as Joan Shelley and Casey Toll (Mt. Moriah). Available on 150g virgin vinyl as an LP, with heavy-duty 24pt matte jacket with detailed song notes and sources, color labels, and high-res download code for the entire album. CD edition features heavy-duty matte gatefold jacket and LP replica artwork. Artwork features two paintings by iconic Chicago Imagist artist Roger Brown (1941–1997).
