In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release legendary singer/ guitarist Thalia Zedek's Been Here and Gone, Thrill Jockey is proud to present the album unlike it has ever been heard before: on vinyl, re-mastered by Sarah Register. Thalia Zedek has been one of the most enduring rock musicians of the past four decades. From her auspicious beginnings in bands Uzi, Live Skull, and Dangerous Birds to her wider recognition in Come, Zedek established herself as a singular voice accruing accolades from critics and contemporaries including J. Mascis, Kurt Cobain, and Bob Mould. Been Here and Gone, her debut solo release originally released on Matador in 2001 on CD, marked a turning point in Zedek's music.

Even on the album's three cover tunes, including a haunting rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love," Zedek's voice and gui...

Thrill Jockey ist ein 1992 von Bettina Richards gegründetes, auf die unterschiedlichsten Musikstile spezialisiertes Plattenlabel aus Chicago. Richards startete das Label mit einem zusammengesparten und zusammengeborgtem Budget von 35.000 $ in ihrem kleinen Appartment in New York City. Vom ersten Tag an war es die Philosophie des Labels die Musiker nur nach persönlichem Geschmack und Sympathie zu signen. Der Durchbruch gelang mit dem Umzug nach Chicago Mitte der 1990er Jahre. MIt dem Erfolg von Tortoise stand Thrill Jockey lange Zeit für den Postrock-Sound der windy city. Dabei steht das Label für einen sehr viel vielfältigeren Sound, in dem folkloristische Töne (Freakwater, Luke Roberts), avancierte Popmusik (High Places, Future Islands, The Fiery Furnaces ), Electronica (Mouse On Mars, Lithops, Mountains) oder Weltmusik (Sidi Touré, Sorry Bamba) wie selbstverständlich nebeneinander stehen.
