Early Alt-Country/Slowcore Band Souled American Re-Release Their Studio Album Catalog
Under the Radar: Though there is nothing overtly patriotic about the six late ’80s/early ’90s albums of Chicago’s Souled American, the band’s remaining members—Joe Adducci and Chris Grigoroff—chose 2023’s Flag Day to re-release their back catalog via Bandcamp.
The band’s first four albums (Fe, Flubber, Around the Horn, Sonny) were released via Rough Trade from 1988 to 1992. Their two subsequent albums (Frozen, Notes Campfire) were released via the tiny German label Moll Tonträger in 1994 and 1996, respectively. The first four albums were later compiled in 1999 via the Framed box set on San Francisco’s now defunct tUMULt label. Thus, the current release on Bandcamp marks the first time this century and in nearly 25 years that the band’s catalog has been available. And arguably for the first time “readily” available. Stream all the albums below, along with two previously unreleased tracks.
