Sixth House

Merge

***CHECK STOCK!!!  Received a 7.5 rating from Pitchfork.  Born in Cabbagetown, Georgia, the ROCK*A*TEENS carved their signature echo-wrapped, wounded-heart music on the edges of the Atlanta music scene more than 20 years ago. Led by songwriter and lead singer/guitarist CHRISTOPHER LOPEZ, the band released a handful of reverb-drenched singles and full-lengths on the independent Daemon and Merge labels in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Following their reunion at the Merge 25 festival and the reissue of their last LP Sweet Bird of Youth (Merge, 2000), the group returned to touring and playing live. Restless with the need to move forward, the band began writing and recording new music. Guided by a batch of home recordings and demos, Lopez, guitarist JUSTIN HUGHES, bassist WILLIAM R. JOINER and drummer BALLARD LESEMANN convened with TIM DELANEY at Electron Gardens Studio and RAFAEL PEREIRA at Tribo Studios to shape their ideas into the glorious, bombastic new album Sixth House. Sixth House stands out as the band’s most musically distinct, vibrant, and soulfully rendered album of its career. Limited edition LP version pressed on green vinyl with a 24x24 foldout poster.

***The perfect 'best of' collection from the undisputed kings of Cabbagetown! A 22 track, double album featuring recordings from their first four full lengths performed live at the Star bar during an extended residency in 1998 & 1999. "CHRIS LOPEZ wrote some of the most eloquent, sardonic, romantic, &, well, basically the best rock and roll songs of the 1990s. His band wrapped them in a florid southern reimagining of 1950s garage rock that always sounded sloppily, scarily out of control & yet dead serious.”—Will Sheff, OKKERVIL RIVER. Vinyl only release limited to 300 copies with download featuring bonus material.
