Magnetic Morning was born 20 years ago, on a boozy winter night on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Adam Franklin from Swervedriver and Sam Fogarino from Interpol were introduced, and recognizing each other immediately as kindred spirits, decided to form a band. Adam tapped his old friend Jimmy LaValle from the Album Leaf to handle the keyboards, and thus Magnetic Morning's signature blend of Shoegaze, Krautrock and Psychedelia was born. Check out 'No Direction' below!
Originally self released by Sam in 2008, A.M. quickly sold out and the LP has been a sought-after collectible amongst Swervedriver and Interpol fans ever since. This very limited edition reissue on bone white vinyl has been fully remastered by Tim Turan and features all new artwork, with stunning photography from Pat Graham (Johnny Marr, Fugazi, Modest Mouse)
As an added plus, mail order copies will come with your very own drink coaster, with a Magnetic Morning A.M. coffee design on one side, and a 'Franklin Ales' design on the P.M. side.
For the super fan, we have a limited edition of 10 test pressings with a unique cover! - THE TEST PRESSINGS ARE NOW SOLD OUT!
As always, we have a limited number of copies available from our office in Berlin for UK/European residents looking for affordable shipping without having to worry about those pesky customs charges.
For those looking for an amazing bundle deal, we just found out from the plant that there was a slight overrun on the Nord Electric EP, the band fronted by Mark Gardener from Ride, so it only seemed right that we offer you the 'Oxford Double', with two releases from Oxford's finest at an incredible price.
Magnetic Morning's A.M. will be in stores November 28th, but the drink coasters will only be available via mail order and your orders are scheduled to ship to you in early November. This is a very limited pressing so don't miss out!
