A couple of more week and Eli Winter is done touring for the year. Don’t miss him if he is near you!

all through the process we told you all that object hours would become your new favorite band. well, a lot of you have listened - the initial run of “solved by walking” from earlier this year have fully sold through. sold out at distro, sold out at mail order. all of this has happened since it came out in april.
in light of this, we have listened. we can’t have a situation where more folks can’t get in the bandwagon for OH’s leather jacket kraut rock goodness. to that end, we’re happy to announce that “solved by walking” is coming back in print on november 27. this new pressing has the same great art, the same great insert but now on MAGICK MARMALADE ORANGE vinyl. hand-numbered to 207 copies and ready for pre-order now from TLR or your fave local store. see you in the pit!
(clearly on top my game as I posted this to an unintended account yesterday…)

Today you have a chance to go back in time. Today Steve Gunn’s “Sundowner” is widely available. What’s that, you say? Well, in 2008 Steve Gunn was experiencing the itch to start working on material under his own name after having spent the last several years playing in and around Philadelphia and Brooklyn in collaborative projects such as GHQ. He had recorded some experimental CDRs on his own under the moniker Moongang before branching out in 2007 to placing the name “Steve Gunn” on titles for the first time. The first couple of releases displayed an immediate leap in his songwriting and confidence. His growth as a solo artist seemed to meet the use of his name head on with a burst of creativity. Nowhere was this growth more visible than with the 2008 title “Sundowner”. The album’s first iteration was released on CD by Digitalis Recordings. Not only was it the first Gunn title to have a release on a non-recordable media, but it was his widest release to date. Gone were the days of micro-editions. Now folks from far and wide could get deeply into what Steve was working on and the spells he was weaving. “Sundowner” took flight on vinyl in 2010 via the venerable Asheville institution Harvest Records. Never formally distributed, it was sold through Harvest’s webstore and by Steve at shows. Since then it has remained an item out there for the heads in the know.
Jump forward to 2026 and Three Lobed Recordings is now releasing a vinyl and CD reissue of “Sundowner”, the title’s first widely distributed version. Eighteen years removed from its original release, what is it that keeps bringing folks back to this title time and time again? The answer is simple – the songs and the performances. You have Gunn-specific guitar workouts, haunting vocal turns and a gorgeous take on John Martyn’s “Over The Hill”. This is the album where Jack Rose told Steve he needed to keep putting out material in this vein. Ask anyone who knows it and they will all tell you that this album is both timeless and has earned the legend. Now, its back. Available now from us or your favorite store on black vinyl, “sundown haze” orange vinyl, CD and digital.

if yr down with the current NC scene you are familiar with (or yr getting ready to be educated on) the great blank tapes webzine. they have a great interview up now with the one and only RIBS which gives you a lot of insight of how they came to be, how the tunes are rolling out of them and what the project means to them. link in bio, friends. a must read.

in advance of the october 30 re-release of steve gunn’s “sundowner”, please dial over to your preferred streaming service and spend some time with “imi the king”. a classic gunn-guitar workout, this one gets deep into the zone and lets you ride it out for a long time. a gem. link in bio…

i’m not sure what t-shirt was the first one that i acquired that was printed by tannis root. i’m also not 100% sure when i first put 2 and 2 together as to who they were, where they were located and what their role was within the greater music ecosystem. i know that they were there, as a bit of connective tissue as my music fandom grew deeper and i wanted to know more about how everything worked.
for those not in the know, tannis root was a music merchandiser. they were a business that was started to make t-shirts for redd kross and sonic youth, a business founded by true fans. over time they produced all sorts of music merchandise but the shirts were the bread and butter. over time they produced stuff for just about everyone in the extended underground. over time their principals became people i am lucky to call friends. recently they ceased operations to follow new opportunities.
when it came time for the first TLR shirts (printed in connection with our kickstarter campaign for the 4xLP box set around 16 years ago) they were the only folks i wanted to work with. since then they have printed every three lobed shirt that has ever existed. all colors, all designs. i had to get a final batch of TLR logo shirts before they stopped printing. today these final tannis root-printed shirts are going up on the TLR bandcamp page (link in bio). the end of an era in a sense.
this is my ode of praise to the two b’s of tannis root - barbara herring and bill mooney - for everything they have put into the scene and for everything that they have done for the three lobed aesthetic. it is going to be strange to have shirts printed by anyone else. long live tannis root!

were you entranced by two hearts (emily robb and richie charles) at the three lobed / smashed plastic / WXDU annual ritual of summoning a few weeks ago? or were unable to make it? our man in the field @treblekicker made a great capture of the entirety and it is now up online. link in bio friends and don’t forget to boogie…

i always love reading the writing over at treble and their recent “best albums of the 21st century” feature has been really great. imagine our surprise to see eli winter’s sublime “a trick of the light” make their “new traditionalists” sublist. no argument here and the LP is among great company. read on and click through for the rest of the list. 🙏 treble for shouting out this smokin’ album…

reminder that RIBS rules and that “COLD RIBS” is the salve that you’re looking for in these days, the expression of everything you’re feeling in 2026. get a couple of slices of your bread of choice, put yourself where you want to be for 50 minutes and make yourself one hell of a ribwich (a double-decker with their first LP, “Junk Dynasty Leaderboard”, for those with larger appetites). available for self-service whenever you’re hungry at your local store, you’re streamer of choice or direct from the TLR kitchens. heed the dinner bell! 🔔

have you checked out “COLD RIBS” by RIBS yet? if no, i’ll forgive it - THIS TIME. seriously, it is one hell of a record and it is here ready to provide for you in your time of need. have you read this great profile on the band by WUNC’s brian burns? if not, may i suggest you do so during your first spin? link to the story is in our bio and the LP is available at streamers everywhere and anywhere discerning customers pick up LPs. end of transmission.
