About this product
Vinyl LP pressing includes . Cass McCombs' new anthology, A Folk Set Apart, is subtitled InchRarities, B-Sides & Space Junk, Etc.Inch which is, on the surface, true but it's so much more than that. It's an alternate retelling of the last decade and a half of an enigmatic career built on immaculate songwriting but short on Inchbreakthrough success.Inch While it contains none of McCombs' better known songs from his seven full-lengths, he would have you believe this is his favorite album. The compilation starts off with the very first song to be released by McCombs, InchI Cannot LieInch and, as is the case with many of McCombs gems, is told in the first person. Often, the temptation is to assume the autobiographical with McCombs and long-time fans surely have formed some mental picture of the elusive musician, but to do so would be to proceed at your own risk. McCombs knows his mythology is littered with misdirects, rumors and half truths and quite frankly none of our business.

Cass McCombs's insta-classic 2003 debut album A is a formidable collection of story-songs and magnetic melodies that stands up today as a foundational document of independent rock 'n roll to come.Featuring deep cuts 'I Went to The Hospital', 'When the Bible Was Wrote' and 'Bobby, King of Boys Town', A has become a rare find on vinyl and title many have asked him to repress over the years.InchA most compelling, sad and beautiful record. (Cass) eschews Nick Drake or Elliot Smith's hushed delivery for the ramshackle, worn beauty of the Velvet Underground by way of Alex Chilton.InchThe Times
With 2005's flawless second LP PREfection, Cass McCombs entered the pantheon of singer-songwriters dealing in a signature thematic and sonic universe studded with effortless catchiness, singular mood, and literary lyrics of rare distinction.Featuring single 'Sacred Heart' and favorites 'Equinox' and 'She's Still Suffering', PREfection set the scene for Cass's 2007 breakthrough album Dropping The Writ, rounding off a golden period when Cass was in his ascendance.
Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 . On Heartmind, Cass McCombs enters the double-digit-album phase of his career, a quantitatively rarified place for any songwriter; rarer still, though, is the fact that he does not yet seem to have settled into a qualitative sound or pattern, of singing the same thought twice (or perhaps even once). Songs like InchKaraokeInch are a god-level burst of power-pop perfection, as fetching as anything Cass has ever cut. The springy staccato guitar, the vaporized electric keys, the melody seemingly born for singing or clapping or dancing along Cass triangulates a perch of his very own out among The Go-Betweens, The dB's, and The Cure, and vibrates there, a beacon. And then, of course, there is the song's playful if painful lyrical conceit-the lover who is making all the sacred motions of commitment but whose feelings may be no more deep or real than someone simply reading the lyrics for InchVision of LoveInch or InchStand by Your ManInch from some crowded bar's TV screen.
