If you missed out on that prized exclusive on RSD, here’s another chance at a rare and worthwhile release. Daytrotter.com is prepped to release full recordings of their Daytrotter Sessions on vinyl for the first time ever, with Iron & Wine and The Low Anthem featured on the split 12”. The record is slated to drop on May 17th.

Limited to just 1,000 pressings, the record will primarily be available at “mom and pop” record shops. A select number will also be obtainable through Daytrotter’s website and the bands’ respective sites.

For the unaware, Daytrotter Sessions are one-of-a-kind recordings laid down at The Horseshack located in Rock Island, Illinois. The studio invites bands to stop by as they pass through on tour to spend two hours creating raw, live tracks. The results are exclusive, original versions of the songs “as they are on that particular day, on that particular tour – dirty and alive.”

The two bands met while touring together in the U.K., and the release is a joint venture between them and Daytrotter. As for the record’s contents, expect six songs from The Low Anthem’s recent Smart Flesh plus selections from Iron & Wine’s Kiss Each Other Clean, and fan favorite “Naked As We Came” from Our Endless Numbered Days. The Sessions are currently up at Daytrotter here and here, but only partially (only five The Low Anthem songs appear). Sure, listen to them at the site, but you know you’re still going to get that vinyl. Or at least try to. Peep the partial track listing below.
