Punch Drunk Press is proud to announce the digital release of Adam Gnade's rarities collection, From Farmhouses to Tour Vans: Fourteen Motherfuckin' Rare Tracks. This fourteen-song set is a complete early-in-the-game retrospective, from out-of-print bedroom cassette recordings to unreleased full-band tracks. Covering the past five years, the tracklisting ranges from dense, clattering, full-band basement orchestra epics full of trumpet and drums and electronics to quiet, late-night solo outings, just Adam sitting on the floor with an acoustic guitar or a pile of tape decks and toy instruments. Many of these avant-Americana tracks are collaborations, including cameos by members of Castanets, Portland's Shaky Hands, Jackie-O Motherfucker, and Ohioan. The release also features live recordings for the first time in Gnade's discography, including the album-ending “Palaces”/“We Live Nowhere and Know No One,” recorded live on tour in Leeds, England in 2010. From Farmhouses to Tour Vans is available now as an $8 download album from the totally righteous bandcamp website.
