[Pre Order] Meat Puppets – Forbidden Places (35th Anniversary) – LP *

Description

Release Date: June 5, 2026

LP, Coke Clear with Yellow Swirl Vinyl, Printed Inner Sleeve with Lyrics

Indie-rock darlings the Meat Puppets didnt miss a meat, er, beat with their move from SST to the major London label and their release of 1991s Forbidden Places. In fact, the album arguably represented a step up from their late-period work at SST, displaying that offhandedly brilliant charm that won the band so many fans in the first place. The album opener Sam is a frenzied rocker that recalls the early days with maniacal, auctioneer-style vocals, and the album closing, pickin and spinnin instrumental Six Gallon Pie is equally breakneck in tempo and dazzling in execution. No Longer Gone offers a hit of that desert mysticism that leavened albums like Meat Puppets II and Up on the Sun, and Whirlpool showcases Curt Kirkwoods underrated guitar chops. In short, an essential piece of the Puppets catalog, finally widely available at retail on vinyl for the first time since its release 35 years ago. Coke clear with yellow swirl pressing, complete with a printed inner sleeve sporting lyrics!
