Wavves and Windsurf LImited Release

Free download of the collectors edition 7" from The FADER and Southern Comfort. The 10th edition in the series is available today for free download on thefader.com and features exclusive unreleased tracks by Wavves and Windsurf.

New York, NY: The FADER, the definitive voice of emerging music, and Southern Comfort announce the tenth installment in their series of limited-edition 7-inch vinyl releases curated by the editors of The FADER. This rare pressing of only five hundred copies will also be accessible to readers of The FADER, who will have the chance to win the record online at TheFADER.com. In addition to the limited pressing, the tracks will also be available for free download at TheFADER.com.

To kick off the a-side, Southern Comfort and The FADER enlisted San Diego's Wavves to cut "Friends Were Gone," a beach fuzz anthem of lo-fi loneliness. Flip the wax to Windsurf's instrumental track "Vapour Trails," a breezy jam that mixes their San Francisco-based haze with Scandinavian disco. On the cover, New York-based artist Mario Hugo crafted a psychedelic and surreal collage of eyeballs and guitars in a summer ready deep purple.

Previous releases in the series have matched up the likes of indie groups M Ward and Ladyhawk, dancehall vocalists Busy Signal and Mavado as well as boundary destroying rockers Black Lips and YACHT. The final 7-inch of the 2007 series featured Ed Banger DJ Busy P, as well as fellow Baltimore citizen DJ Blaqstarr. Continuing their tradition of showcasing emerging artists, The FADER and Southern Comfort kicked off the 2008 series with White Williams and Dirty Projectors and followed up with Africa issue cover stars BLK JKS, of South Africa, and Esau Mwamwaya, of London, paired up with the production duo Radioclit. This newest release comes off the heels of a union between Alabama's Hood Headlinaz and Baltimore rappers Get 'Em Mamis and another pairing Brooklyn's Telepathe and 77Klash. The previous edition featured FADER cover star Little Boots and Wild Yaks.
