RELEASE DATE

2018 release. Be With Records present the first vinyl edition of
Liam Hayes
's
Korp Sole Roller
, originally released in 2014. A wonderful companion piece to the totemic
Fed
(2018). Liam Hayes's magical fourth full-length LP was previously only available on a rare Japanese import CD. Produced and arranged in 2010 by
Pat Sansone
(
Wilco
,
The Autumn Defense
). The common impression of
Plush
is that of an underground rock myth, lent greater poignancy by the lofty vision that galvanized his music. Yet while he has long been a cult concern, clued-up celebrity fans periodically declare their profound love for Hayes's maverick genius. Indeed, after
Jason Schwartzman
introduced Plush to
Roman Coppola
, several stunning songs from
Korp Sole Roller
sound tracked Coppola's
A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III
(2012). As ever with Plush, it's easy to imagine you are listening to a privately pressed rarity from the mid-late 1970s. Or one of the criminally neglected jewels from the discography of
Jimmy Webb
or
Burt Bacharach
. The sound on
Korp Sole Roller
does differ crucially from
Fed
, however. It is more streamlined. These ten gorgeously seductive creations careen around ornate string and wind instrument arrangements and producer
Sansone
's deft work is likely the reason for this. Yet, brilliantly, it still possesses that sun-warped take on classic pop-rock, that Plush specializes in. That peculiar "down-lifting" phenomenon of performing upbeat songs in an enigmatically mournful way. Upon completion,
Korp Sole Roller
barely received anything resembling a release. Press coverage was zero because none of the major magazines or blogs knew of its existence. Liam himself has described it as the favorite of his albums. Pat's delicate work is astounding. Remastered especially for this special limited edition, it is presented in a gatefold jacket with high-end art photography throughout, including full color inner sleeves. Finally, here's your chance to own a slice of kaleidoscopic pop history. Edition of 500.
