4AD

The very first official 4AD merch collection available now in limited quantities exclusively via the 4AD store 🦢   A call-out via socials for 4AD listeners in Glasgow returned a charming selection of label fans to model the first merch drop. Featuring a selection of both long-term listeners and more recent supporters (including an NHS doctor, an opera singer, an ambient musician, an entrepreneur, and a council worker), the series subsequently acts as a visual archive of the current 4AD fanbase. It is a celebration of the diverse and strong 4AD community who have kept the label’s spirit alive for four decades. Photographer Olly Geary captured each fan from their homes, in the environment where they enjoy music, from bedrooms to kitchens, living rooms, gardens, and beyond.    Items available - Long Sleeve Pleasures & Treasures T-Shirt (Washed Black) Short Sleeve Swan T-Shirt (Navy Blue) Pleasures & Treasures Tote Bag (Washed Black) Deep Below The Surface Socks (Black)  4AD Holographic Sticker Pack College Logo Mug (Cream) US ONLY 4           A                           D  Mug (Black) US ONLY Items designed by @arp__rpm  📷 @ollygeary

“Bright Future is one of the most unique and powerful American folk releases of 2024 ... For me, getting releases like this that feel so undeniably rooted in the real, tangible world, really does make the future seem a bit more bright – a small form of resistance against the forced digitization of our lives.” - Dana Yewbank, The Bluegrass Situation 📷 @germainedunes

Rome, out next Friday, December 13. Link in bio.

4AD 2024 4AD0733 Kim Deal - Nobody Loves You More Every song has a story behind it, from the winter vacations with her parents in Florida Keys (‘Summerland’), wedding band covers of ‘Margaritaville’ (‘Coast’) to her mother’s dementia (‘Are You Mine?’). All in all, the record is a celebration of Deal’s unmatched artistry, nodding not only to her career highlights with celebrated bands across the alternative landscape, but also to her immovable cultural weight influencing musicians like Kurt Cobain and Olivia Rodrigo through the generations. 📷 @chantalaanderson
