Craig Finn is today announcing a special Record Store Day double LP release. Produced by Josh Kaufman, All These Perfect Crosses carries b-sides, alternative versions and demos of tracks recorded throughout his trilogy of acclaimed solo albums for Partisan Records. Faith In The Future (2015), We All Want The Same Things (2017) and I Need A New War (2019) charted the journeys, and catalogued the stories, troubles and redemption of middle America’s lost and forgotten characters. Finn expertly chronicles our complex, often confusing, modern era. He draws deeply felt character studies about regular people trying to respond to extraordinary times, attempting to find connection whilst wondering how to keep pace with a world moving faster than they are.
On this Record Store Day offering, these new songs and re-workings help to further tell parts of the same stories from those albums. It is a look behind the curtain, and into the world of one of our most revered songwriters and storytellers.
Also featuring on this collection is “It’s Never Been A Fair Fight”, a track that was also recorded live last year at a special concert performance at Brooklyn, NY’s Murmrr Theatre.
