Fall is so close we can smell it. Fred Thomas is bringing it home today with his latest single, "Altar", featuring backing vocals from his lovely label-mate Anna Burch. Watch the Ben Collins-directed video below.

"'Altar' is a song about feeling excommunicated by a close circle of friends, the kind of weird cycles of allegiances and disruptions that happen in small communities of difficult people trying to connect over their shared obscure interests." - Fred Thomas

Aftering arrives this Friday, September 15th. Head over to our E-Store to snag one of the remaining Early Bird editions on 180-Gram Blue/Gold Starburst. First 300 orders (on any physical format) include a unique collage handmade & numbered by Fred. Swooooon.

Fred Thomas will play a handful of shows with Owen this year before embarking on a North American tour with Anna Burch and Common Holly. Giddyup!
