Friends! The day is here! There are only 150 copies of The Poison Control Center’s A Nice Old-Fashioned Romance With Love Lyrics And Everything, each pressed on perfect 12″ vinyl discs, housed in beautiful jackets letter-pressed by hand by Des Moines artist Avalan Wilson. Watch this video for a sneak peek at the cover art, a first listen of the record, and, most importantly, Marc Hogan’s interview of Patrick Tape Fleming of The Poison Control Center regarding the history of the record.

We’ll be debuting a full-track from the album soon, but for now, make sure you get your copy on January 10,2012 by pre-ordering right here right now! Every pre-order comes with a very special present: A digital download of the home demos of every song from The Poison Control Center’s epic 2010 album Sad Sour Future! After A Nice Old-Fashioned Romance With Love Lyrics And Everything, the band never stopped making home recordings. For Sad Sour Future, each band member made their own recordings of the songs they had written. This set of demos is what came out of that and represents what eventually turned into the mind-blowingly great album that Pitchfork.com says has “an agile sound, neither overeager or overblown.”

Also, you can get a sneak preview of the entire album if you sign up for our email list! We’ll let you stream the entire album for free from January 1st until the release date if you sign up by the end of the year. On top of that, one lucky person from our email list will be randomly selected to win an MA Celebration Bundle (pretty good name, right?), which includes Mumford’s Triple Trinities, Derek Lambert & The Prairie Fires It Shines, and The Poison Control Center’s A Nice Old-Fashioned Romance With Love Lyrics And Everything!
