Thrill Jockey Records have announced the vinyl new releases and reissues by Hush Arbors, Arbouretum, The Black Twig Pickers, Freakwater and Tortoise available for Record Store Day on April 21, 2012.
Hush Arbors release their first Thrill Jockey release with Arbouretum on the new ‘Aureola’ split album. The two bands have been exploring for years the fusion of progressive folk and psychedelic rock, so it was a natural progression that they joined forces for this release.

The Black Twig Pickers return with two new songs on a specially pressed ‘Yellow Cat’ 7″ vinyl release for Record Store Day 2012.

Freakwater have reissued ‘Feels Like The Third Time,’ which has only been in print on CD since its release, and the vinyl version has been unavailable because the record plant burnt down shortly after our initial order of vinyl arrived. The record was remastered to vinyl by Roger Seibel at SAE The vinyl LP features seven originals and five covers by the likes of Conway Twitty, Woody Guthrie, and Nick Lowe and also includes a download card.
