This record was such a cultural moment, and usually records like that are reissued like crazy, and this one was just repressed from the original release.Īnd we realized that we were coming up on the 10th anniversary of the album, and thought it could open an opportunity for us to do something cool for that. Phoenix became one of the biggest bands on earth off this record. There’d also never been a “deluxe” version either, which felt surprising, because of all those 2009 indie rock albums that got big, this one felt the most ubiquitous: you heard this record everywhere in 2009, and for good reason it's amazing, and it's a classic. What made us program this one for this month? Why did we pick this as the indie rock record this month?Īlex Berenson, Vinyl Me, Please Head Of A&R: This is a title that we’ve had as a dream Record of the Month for a bit, always kind of in surprise that no one had done this on a wide release color variant since it came out.

and with the exception of how you classify Flying Lotus, this is the first indie rock album we’re doing this year, and it’s from that similar era. Andrew Winistorfer: Last year, we did a lot of 2000’s indie rock - Arctic Monkeys, Beach House, TV on the Radio, Feist, etc.
