Hobbledehoy Records announce Arrows' 'Modern Art & Politics' repress

Adelaide-based indie label Hobbledehoy Records have announced a second vinyl pressing of Brisbane band Arrows' debut album 'Modern Art & Politics'.

Adelaide-based indie label Hobbledehoy Records have announced a second vinyl pressing of Brisbane band Arrows' debut album 'Modern Art & Politics'.


Hobbledehoy were responsible for originally releasing the album in 2008, and have continued to handle the band's recorded output, most recently their split with Michigan emo band Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate), a co-release with US label Count Your Lucky Stars. The label released the following statement on the repressing


"One of the most popular Hobbledehoy titles and widely regarded as one of the labels flagship releases - Arrows critically acclaimed debut full length, Modern Art & Politics, surprised many and found its way onto numerous “Best of 2008” top ten lists the world over.


For years MA&P was only available on CD. But after a limited 2LP vinyl first pressing of just 102 a few years ago and plenty of requests, I’m very proud to bring the brilliant record back into print. A landmark album for an Australian band that continues to win hearts across the planet."


Pre-orders are available from the Hobbledehoy store.
