ANNOUNCES RECORD STORE DAY DOUBLE LP
LISTEN TO TITLE TRACKÂ âALL THESE PERFECT CROSSESâ
âALL THESE PERFECT CROSSESâ DOUBLE LP OUT 20TH JUNE VIA PARTISAN RECORDSÂ
Craig Finn is today announcing a special Record Store Day double LP release. Produced by Josh Kaufman, All These Perfect Crosses carries b-sides, alternative versions and demos of tracks recorded throughout his trilogy of acclaimed solo albums for Partisan Records. Faith In The Future (2015), We All Want The Same Things (2017) and I Need A New War (2019) charted the journeys, and catalogued the stories, troubles and redemption of middle America’s lost and forgotten characters. Finn expertly chronicles our complex, often confusing, modern era. He draws deeply felt character studies about regular people trying to respond to extraordinary times, attempting to find connection whilst wondering how to keep pace with a world moving faster than they are.
On this Record Store Day offering, these new songs and re-workings help to further tell parts of the same stories from those albums. It is a look behind the curtain, and into the world of one of our most revered song writers and storytellers.
he flashbulbs hit me with an uppercut
My ATM card wouldnât work
That taxi was a paddock
And your raincoat must be cursed
Every time I see you wear it
There seems to be a storm thatâs coming in
When all these years get in between us, yeah it’s hard
To force yourself to fall in love with friends

LISTEN TO âITâS NEVER BEEN A FAIR FIGHTâ
WATCH âITâS NEVER BEEN A FAIR FIGHT (LIVE AT THE MURMRR THEATRE)â
ââItâs Never Been A Fair Fightâ is about the extreme difficulty of staying true to the rigid rules of a subculture as you get older,â says Finn. âThe character in the song revisits an old peer and finds struggle and disappointment in the place he left behind. Iâve always really loved this song, and people seemed to connect with it on my acoustic tour with Brian Fallon.â
