About a year ago, the countrified slowcore band Shallowater released their spectacular album God's Gonna Give You A Million Dollars. Before that, they dropped There Is A Well in the waning days of 2023. Although it came out in the new music wasteland that is the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, There Is A Well earned Shallowater a fervent cult following. Now they're giving it a brighter spotlight with a deluxe reissue.
The revamped album will be out in January, and it nearly doubles the original eight-song tracklist. Bonus materials include a previously unreleased song, "Heav'n," a live version of "Snap," an acoustic version of "Angels," and an alternate take of "There Is A Well." They also got contributions from friends, including a cover of "Birdshot" by fellow slowcore dons Horse Jumper Of Love, a fish narc remix of "Laredo," and a Colin Miller "version" of "Angels" (unclear what that entails since it's listed as neither a cover nor a remix).
The HJOL "Birdshot" cover is out today, and it's quite pretty. Check it out below along with Shallowater's tour dates supporting Chat Pile and Soul Glo — a hell of a bill!
