Digital 45s

Our annual FREE comp that accompanies our home town's "Lynchstock Music Festival"! This time, we asked everyone to submit a cover & OH BOY (!!!) did the team turn in some doozies! The collection pays tribute to some heavy hitters (Stone Roses, Cocteau Twins, William Basinski) as well as some acts that hit close to HSAL's heart (TLVS, Audio Explorations). ENJOY!

All tracks courtesy of HSAL with the exception of #1, #3, #6, #7, & #9.
