Thou Unleashes Vinyl Varients of Nirvana Covers Album with Cover Art by Trashboy
Thou delivers their cult classic collection of Nirvana covers for fans, and it is coming out on vinyl for the first time on February 23rd!
We have big news for all the Thou fans out there: Their cult classic collection of Nirvana covers is coming out on vinyl for the first time! Pre-order a copy of this deluxe double LP, releasing on February 23rd, on Sacred Bones mail order exclusive red vinyl while supplies last!
Blessings of the Highest Order compiles all of Thou’s Nirvana covers, originally recorded and released piecemeal on various EPs, splits, and tributes from 2009-2018. The songs feature guest appearances from Emily McWilliams (SILVER GODLING), Melissa Guion (MJ GUIDER), Rebecca Levy (TURBOSLUT), Isidore Grisoli (HIGH), and Jennifer Murphy (that one Thou tote). The record features artwork by New Orleans’ underground, BDSM, xerox freakaleek “Trashboy.”
After unrelenting demand, Thou’s Sacred Bones debut, Magus is coming back in print! Pick up a copy of their double LP masterpiece on this new transparent tan vinyl variant, also releasing February 23rd.
Though often lumped in with New Orleans sludge bands like Eyehategod and Crowbar, Thou shares a more spiritual kinship with ’90s proto-grunge bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden (all of whom they’ve covered extensively). The band’s aesthetic and political impulses reflect the obscure ’90s DIY hardcore punk found on labels like Ebullition, Vermiform, and Crimethinc.
Since 2004, the band has released five full-length albums; seven EPs (some bordering on full lengths); collaboration records with The Body, Emma Ruth Rundle, and Mizmor; and enough material spread out over splits to make up another four or five LPs.
