joe pug's "the sharpest crown"

hey, joe pug has a new recording come out in the middle of this month on the 16th which he has chosen to call, messenger. his free and most excellent, in the meantime ep, has been in heavy rotation the past few weeks, and i gotta admit that i was wrong to not include “in the meantime” on my list of favorite songs that didnt appear in my top ten – you can read about them here. again, messenger comes out on 2.16 via lightning rod records and check below for the tour dates and of fucking course theres no new orleans date….
