200 Years

Grapefruit is a subscription-based record club now in its third year, founded by musician Simon Joyner and Ba Da Bing Records head Ben Goldberg to release exclusive, limited-edition, vinyl-only albums as part of an annual series, sharing identical cover art but in different colors. Subscribers receive an LP every three months, by artists that are of some renown, or are just getting started. The only connection between each group is that Joyner and Goldberg are both fans. Only 300 copies of each release are pressed—and for a limited time, these LPs are now available outside a direct subscription in extremely low quantities. 
Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) and Elisa Ambrogio (Magik Markers)—together as 200 Years—are a meeting of raw talents so flammable that it’s hard to even guess at what will result from their work together. Following proper release of their official record on Drag City, the duo presents this album, which they describe as “late-night blues jams hoping to capture the mood of Ed Sanders giving a back massage to Loren Mazzacane Connors, while a scratched Jacobites LP plays and Anne Briggs sings in the shower.”
