The Ladybug Transistor – The Albemarle Sound

Originally released in 1999 on Merge Records, The Albemarle Sound is the third full-length LP by Brooklyn, New York’s The Ladybug Transistor. For the 25th anniversary, the record has been reissued on silver vinyl by Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. The CD includes 12 bonus tracks which break open the year-long recording process with the inclusion of rare B-sides, four-track demos, instrumentals and alternate mixes, further highlighting the band’s mastery of songcraft while teasing out the intricate worlds those songs contain, making a case, as fans of The Ladybug Transistor have known for decades now, that The Albemarle Sound is as infinitely rewarding to return to as it is to visit for the first time.

The vinyl LP comes on black vinyl pressed by Third Man Record Pressing and housed in a full color jacket with a 11″x 22″ full-color double-sided insert and digital download that includes the full album along with all the bonus tracks.
