Cerberus Shoal - Cerberus Shoal - Anniversary Edition - Peach [LP] Vinyl Record

The long out-of-print, eponymous debut album by the prescient, genre-scrambling collective, Cerberus Shoal, showcases their humble beginnings as a progressive punk band with extraordinary promise. Recorded in 1994 and originally released the following year, Cerberus Shoal distilled the band's earliest creative and philosophical influences - the rhythmic post-hardcore of Dischord Records; the disarming histrionics of Ebullition and Gravity Records; and the ominous, patient dynamics of Slint and Moss Icon - into a concise six-song document that is as much a snapshot of an era as a blueprint for much that followed. Beautifully remastered and finally available on vinyl again for the first time in over 25 years, Cerberus Shoal is packaged in restored artwork with extensive new liner notes and newly uncovered photos from the earliest era of the band. The record has been newly mastered for vinyl by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, and pressed onto audiophile-grade vinyl. The digital format includes a massive 30-minute instrumental bonus track not available on the LP.
