Dignity and Shame [2LP]

Eric Bachmann's 2005 Crooked Fingers album, one of the brightest jewels in the Archers of Loaf frontman's catalog. Written after a move to Seattle and recorded there with Martin Feveyear at Jupiter Studios, it trades the forlorn, pained detail of Red Devil Dawn for the bright, cinematic sweep of the American Southwest: songs of loves lost and kept, a couple of them inspired by the doomed romance of bullfighter Manolete and actress Lupe Sino.

Out of print on vinyl since 2005, now remastered on 2LP with two vinyl-exclusive bonus tracks, in a gatefold jacket with expanded artwork.
