(Editor’s note- usually a new release would simply be including in our twice-weekly Corral of new releases [and this will be], but the story behind it deserves its own new post)
On April 1st earlier this month Jeff Rosenstock posted a new version of the artwork to his most recent album No Dream. The updated artwork included the altered title Ska Dream, as well as checkerboards and skanking figures. The accompanying text indicated it would come out on 4/20.
Well, it turns out it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke. The album is real and it’s streaming now. Ska Dream is a complete reworking of the No Dream album with a slew of guest musicians, including Matt Embree (RX Bandits), and Sean Bonnette (AJJ), among many others.
You can hear the titled track below (of course, a re-working of “N O D R E A M”), and visit Bandcamp for digital physical media, or Polyvinyl for CD and vinyl preorders specifically.
