ROUGH TRADE SHOPS: GREEN MAN 2011 COMPILATION
Selected and produced by Rough Trade Shops, we bring you a lovingly compiled 22-track CD exclusively featuring artists playing at Green Man 2011, aiming to sonically distil the festivals ninth annual summer shindig into one lovely listen. What better way to bring back the memories from a hazy, lazy, crazy weekend in the comfort of your own home – or maybe conjure up that special Green Man atmosphere?
The CD will feature brilliant songs by Green Man 2011 headliners Fleet Foxes, Iron & Wine and Explosions In The Sky, as well as recent tracks by Josh T Pearson, The Low Anthem, Gruff Rhys, Holy Fuck and Squarepusher. There’s a generous helping of US lo-fi and folk from Sic Alps, Suuns, Lia Ices and The Cave Singers, a Breeders-esque offering from She Keeps Bees and an excellent crop of European singer/songwriters including Treecreeper, James Yorkston, Hannah Peel, and Our Broken Garden.
The Green Man 2011 CD is not released until Monday 29th August but you can lay your hands on a copy early at the Rough Trade Shop on the festival site, the first 100 copies of the limited edition varnished sleeve version get a free exclusive Rough Trade/Green Man 2011 Tote Bag.
*On a separate note, please support the record labels affected by last night's fire at the PIAS UK warehouse. A great deal of stock has been destroyed by the sound of it and all the independent record shops affected need your help. Buy a CD today!
