Sharpie Crows - Endless Empty Eye

For the second annual Cassette Store Day we will release the 12 track compilation 'Jam Kids: 20 Years since Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain'.

Shared interests go a long way in small towns, so when two goofy teenagers bonded over a mutual love of Pavement it laid some pretty solid foundations for 4 years of running a label together. When we realised it had been 20 years since the release of their seminal album ‘Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain’ we thought we had better do something about it.

We’ve got together with some of our favourite friends, finest DIY noise makers and bands we never expected a  yes from and asked each artist to cover a separate track from the album. What’s come out the other end is truly something truly spectacular. 

1. Junk - Silence Kid
2. Shunkan - Elevate Me Later
3. Paws - Stop Breathin'
4. Dog Legs - Cut Your Hair
5. Joey Fourr - Newark Wilder
6. Year of Birds - Unfair
7. Pet Cemetry - Gold Soundz
8. Flamingods - 5-4=Unity
9. Trust Fund - Range Life
10. Beat Easton - Heaven is a Truck
11. The Black Tambourines - Hit the Plane Down
12. Poledo - Fillmore Jive 

As it’s a bit weird making profit from other people’s music, we will be donating all profits from this release to DIY Space for London (http://diyspaceforlondon.org). The release is limited to 200 and comes with a series of badges. If you’d like to ensure that you get your hands on a copy, please contact your local record shop and ask them to stock the release on September 27th. Any leftover copies will be sold via our shop on October 4th – if you’d like to be notified when these are available – please visit here...

Founded in 1990 by Tim Owen and Darren Walters, the Jade Tree label has sustained itself for almost a quarter of a century now. With a roster that includes The Promise Ring, Fucked Up, Lifetime, My Morning Jacket, Texas is the Reason, Swiz and countless other seminal acts, they have proven themselves as a self-sustaining entity in the constantly shifting tides of underground music culture.
