American hip hop duo Atmosphere is back with a metallic silver vinyl 2 LP pressing of Southsiders, with clever lyrics and angst over the complications of life. They focus their lives and what it takes to get by on the straight and narrow.
Similar to their now-legendary Lucy Ford release, Atmosphere had originally conceived To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy as two separate EP's (To All My Friends and, of course, Blood Makes The Blade Holy).
The Sad Clown series, including the four iconic EPs, are now packaged into one 2xLP vinyl release titled Sad Clown Bad Year. Originally released as a string of tapes and CDRs sold on tour in 1999 Sad Clown Bad Year is the complete package.
Since it's inception in 1999, the Sad Clown series has seen over a dozen iterations in numerous formats, including rare 4-track demos, live recordings, a DVD of behind-the-scenes tour footage, a mixtape, 7" vinyl singles and more.
