Rusted Hues is the 19th album by Super XX Man. It is meant to celebrate 30 years of Super XX Man music and is available for pre-order via Super XX Man's Bandcamp page RIGHT NOW!!! LPs will ship approximately 30 days before the worldwide digital release.
Only 100 made—standard-weight black vinyl. The first 30 sold will include a free limited-edition handmade square lathe-cut 7" by my buddy Michael Dixon. They are super cool and very rare. If you want to read a really cool interview about how the lathe cuts are made, click here. Michael was just featured in Tape Op magazine.
I promise not to digitally release this alternate version of “Rusted Hues” for at least 10 years. It is simply a vocal, a ukulele, and some Casio keyboard.
The cover art for Rusted Hues is called Alley Puddles. It was made from recycled items by artist Sarah Heller out of Lexington, KY. She is a multidisciplinary creative working at the intersection of art, architecture, and education. She's deeply committed to reclaiming material waste and incorporating regional natural materials into her work. Learn more about Sarah here.
