Avec Laudanum

orginially released on sub rosa in 2000, in between the band's 'per aspera ad astra' and 'tired sounds' albums, this classic stars of the lid release has never been on vinyl. it's an expansive and ambitious album, at the same time 'avec laudneum' is probably stars of the lid's most cohesive and accessible album: a moving work struck through with subtle melodies and a compositional aesthetic. limited to a one time pressing of 1000 copies on kranky.
