Singles Going Home Alone Update : Last Chance For the 2013 Edition

In the wake of singles from Jeffrey Novak, Superchunk, Cian Nugent, Lower Plenty, Bits Of Shit, Royal Headache, Outer Spaces, Smartboys and Tony Molina, the final 3 7"'s of the 2013 'Singles Going Home Alone' series are shipping to subscribers shortly ;



Sleaford Mods - "Routine Dean" b/w "Pubic Hair Ltd"



Steve Gunn - "WIldwood" b/w "Worn Threads"



Coho Lips - "Less Of Everything" b/w "Lick Your Sore Chops"

The 13th / bonus single is in production and the band's identity will revealed shortly. If you're looking for a hint, they hail from the same region as the adopted home of last year's bonus artist and have several records (old and not-so-old) in the Matador catalog. If that's not setting it up for you on a tee, I don't know what is.

There's a handful of subscriptions still available at The Matador Store. SGHA is taking a year (decade?) off in 2014 while we fantasize about pressing plant capacity magically tripling.
