Early Music

Description

Early Music brings together the cult EPs of Voxtrot, Raised By Wolves, and Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives, compiling the recordings that revealed the Austin band as one of the iconic voices of the mid-2000s indie blog scene, alongside bands like Vampire Weekend, Grizzly Bear, and The National. Initially released separately in 2005 and 2006, these EPs captured the raw ambition, immediate emotion, and melodic quality of the compositions that quickly earned Voxtrot international recognition. Driven by the track "The Start of Something," now considered an indie classic with over 80 million listens, these recordings introduced audiences to the band's unique blend of post-punk energy, catchy indie-pop, and deeply sincere lyrics, making Voxtrot one of the most beloved cult indie bands of the era. The first pressing of Early Music was released in 2022 to mark the highly anticipated reunion of Voxtrot. Limited to 2,000 copies worldwide, the vinyl edition quickly sold out and has since become a highly sought-after collector's item, regularly fetching high resale prices on Discogs, where copies often sell very quickly after being listed. Following acclaimed reunion tours and the release of their album "Dreamers In Exile" in 2026, "Early Music" serves as both a historical testament to a pivotal time in independent music and a timeless collection of songs that continue to resonate with new generations of listeners.
