Paranoid Style - Known Associates NEW Vinyl LP

Known Associates is the exhilarating follow up to their acclaimed 2024 ten-alarm panic attack The Interrogator. A fever dream of Van Morrison-horns and Leonard Cohen sentiments, Known Associates is the LP which ratifies the steadily rising reputation of Elizabeth Nelson as one of our insurgently crucial songwriters.

Like her longtime hero Lucinda Williams, Nelson's slow burn has run side by side with an ever-growing literary reputation, which has seen her work as an acclaimed contributor to the New York Times, the Atlantic, the New Yorker and Oxford American, as well as writing liner notes for reissues by Bob Dylan and the Replacements. Regal, ragtag and filled with the sort of hard luck stories, busted-up epiphanies and thriftstore miracles that will be familiar to any fan of Richard Thompson, David Berman or Tom Waits, the mystics and statistics are already saying it: Known Associates is one of the greatest records of 2026, and Elizabeth Nelson is one of the best singer-songwriters in the world.
