Foreign Born - Person To Person (sc25 Anniversary Exclusive) - Blue

Foreign Born - Person To Person (sc25 Anniversary Exclusive) - BlueIn a backyard in Bloomington, Secretly Canadian's physical and spiritual home, Jason Molina once jammed part of a broken guitar into a maple tree. Rather than break the tree or shatter the neck, the maple absorbed this shrapnel, frets and all, patiently forming an unexpected and unlikely totem for Secretly Canadian's own story. That story is, at it's core, an Odd Couple story. It is the story of a label with an otherworldly mind and midwestern heart:

With the exception of "The Blues Man

Includes one bonus track

the recording took longer than expected

Looking to move on from the muted earth tones dominating much underground music today

but Keren Ann retains her enigmatic quality

Dubbed as a 'thank you' to Minneapolis

The Pharcyde

Let's also throw in the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Kinks as well

with Alan McGee serving as it's hyperactive mouthpiece and focal point

A tightrope walk between nostalgia and wanderlust

The album received consistent praise from rock critics
