ORDERING INFO: ADAM GNADE CATALOG
***$10 ORDER THE WILD HOMESICK CD A junkyard of minimalistic deconstructed Americana, Adam Gnade's new record, The Wild Homesick, is a strange, warm, troubled summer record full of doom and affirmations. It's water moccasins and honeylocust trees, motel swimming pools and fruit bats in the dusk, allusions to suburbs, ranch houses, trailerparks, and debt. Says Adam, "The Wild Homesick is the story of a group of people who are stuck. They're stuck for a variety of reasons, stuck in the places they live, stuck in lives they hate, incapacitated by debt; whatever it is, they're stuck and they're terrified." He continues, "Structurally, I've never done a record like this. It's 10 songs divided into four suites of music over the course of less than 20 minutes. Tiny 30 second-long songs packed with music up against uncharacteristically long ones with barely any backing but a little xylophone. Lots of slide guitar and banjo and lots of lyrics. More lyrics than past records. I think I'm finally hitting closer to what I wanted 'talking-songs' to be in the first place." Released by Punch Drunk Records, The Wild Homesick is the first in a series of four seasonal records. This, the summer record, takes place in Texas.

***$10 ORDER ISLAND'S ISLANDS CASSETTE Limited-edition run of 100 cassettes. Says Adam, "Each version will be recorded directly into my recorder onto that particular tape itself and each will feature different songs... new ones, covers, noise collages, revamps on old ones, whatever feels right at the time."

***$16 ORDER HYMN CALIFORNIA DEBUT NOVEL "Hymn California moves--and by 'moves' I mean it is a book of motion, of MOVEMENT. It takes you from southern swamps to balconies in Brooklyn to Portland porches and back again--with a fluid, even pace. It is a road novel, an adventure book, a work of verbs and action. If the characters seem lost or restless, it's not because they're misguided wanderers or seekers, it's because there is medicine in leaving hard times behind you. It's because there is joy in the tires and highways of America. Gnade's book is about America and the road, but, more importantly, it's about PEOPLE, about their stories, and about the love they have for each other. Gnade is a damn good storyteller, and, not only that, he has some damn good stories." --Bart Schaneman PAYPAL $16 TO ADAMGNADE@HOTMAIL.COM OR CLICK HERE TO ORDER WITH PAYPAL, DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS
***$5 ORDER THE DARKNESS TO THE WEST MINI-NOVEL "I'm not sure how he does it but but Mr. Gnade has managed to write another fantastic tale of everyday life and this time it's in the form of his novella called The Darkness To The West.
It's basically a 60-page short story which Adam describes as 'adventure stories all linked together to detail one strange lost summer in America.' I couldn't put it better myself." --Oliver Primus, thefourohfive.com PAYPAL $5 TO ADAMGNADE@HOTMAIL.COM OR CLICK HERE TO ORDER WITH PAYPAL, CREDIT, DEBIT
***$10 ORDER RUN HIDE RETREAT SURRENDER DEBUT FULL-LENGTH CD "Whether it's just Adam and an acoustic guitar or a full basement orchestra beating and stomping on every instrument they can find, Run is an evocative experience, not just for the sounds but for the scents and tastes and sensations it invokes: the smell of rotting horseshoe crabs on an empty Florida beach; the drone of cicadas on dark country roads; the cry of bald tires threatening to blow on the New Jersey Turnpike. It is a record heavy with humid, festering decay, and the displaced feeling of a generation stopped dead in its tracks" --Jamey Bainer.
