Toadies announce the first ever vinyl release of their second album Hell Below/Stars Above, originally released in 2001. It’s the only studio album from their catalogue that has never been pressed on vinyl. With constant asks from fans asking for it the band is incredibly pleased to finally have it to offer. Guitarist Clark Vogeler says: “We worked steadily, writing/jamming/arranging/rehearsing for literally years to create the songs that would comprise this, our second album. Judged against its predecessor, Rubberneck, it was doomed to be seen as a commercial failure but several fan favorites reside on its tracklist. Tom (Rothrock) and Rob’s (Schnapf) recording and Andy Wallace’s mix give the sound a raw power and bite.”
Vogeler also talks about his first recording sessions with the band “This album especially means a lot to me because it was the first Toadies album I played on. In its time, it felt overlooked at best, and dead on arrival at worst, so it’s been really interesting to see over time what some of these songs have come to mean to people.”
Drummer Mark Reznicek talks about Hell Below/Stars Above being released on vinyl “I’m always surprised just how many fans rate this as our best album. And it’s the only one of our albums that hasn’t yet appeared on vinyl, so it’s become a sort of holy grail for a lot of them.” He also talks about his favorite track “The title track has always stood out to me as a departure in style for us. The fast, almost punk rock feel of the first half which segues into the dreamy, near gospel feel of the second half was unusual, and not something we’d ever attempted before. And the guest appearance by Elliott Smith on piano and the heavenly vocals by Rev. White makes it really special.” Vogeler concurs “I love the title track, and not only because one of my faves, the late great Elliott Smith played piano on it but because it pushes up against the idea of what makes a Toadies song. We tried to work freely and without boundaries, and I think that expression is strong on this album.”
Toadies also announce a new limited release coffee collaboration. The Charmer brings together Palace Coffee and The Toadies, two Texas originals connected through Toadies’ bassist Donivan Blair, who once worked at Palace and remains part of its community. Anchored by a washed community lot from Huila, Colombia and complemented by a naturally processed coffee from Sidama, Ethiopia, it delivers bright cherry notes, balanced apple-like acidity, and a soft caramel finish. Blair says ” I’m so thrilled that we get the opportunity to partner with my friends, and favorite place for go-go juice, Palace Coffee. I’ve known them for years and have always been impressed with their dedication to craft and that commitment shines through with our new collaboration, The Charmer.”
In that same spirit of community and care, proceeds from The Charmer coffee sales will be donated to Letters Charity, a cause deeply valued by Steve Albini and his wife, Heather. Letters Charity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides direct, unconditional assistance to families experiencing poverty, bringing art and community together to turn compassion into action
Patrick Burns Founder and CEO Palace Coffee talks about working with the band “I can still remember riding to lunch in my friend’s truck in high school when he put on Possum Kingdom for the first time. The songwriting, the mood, the whole record stuck with me. Years later, Donivan Blair walked into Palace because he loved coffee, spent some time working with us, and became a friend. For the last several years we’ve talked about creating a coffee together, and it’s exciting to finally see it happen. The Charmer Blend is a limited release celebrating the new album, and I think that’s what makes it special. It’s not meant to be around forever. It captures a moment in time for both Palace and The Toadies.”
Before their sold-out show at Seattle’s Showbox, Toadies stopped by KEXP bright and early to record their first-ever KEXP session with John Richards.
Toadies are in the midst of an extensive North American tour and kick off the third leg on September 18 that will run through October. The trek includes a stop at this weekend’s Shadow of the City at The Stone Pony, alongside Bleachers and Real Estate, followed by festival appearances at Louder Than Life, Aftershock and The State Fair of Texas. Support on select headlining dates comes from Local H, Olive Vox, and Emily Wolfe.
