Perhaps the last great pop album of the 20th century, The Albemarle Sound is like few records from the turn of the millennium, its attention turned to the intricate arrangements of late 1960s pop and the strange and familiar environs of home. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe notion of home is important to The Albemarle Sound, not just lyrically and thematically, but in the fact that the album was recorded, mixed and produced in a Victorian house in Flatbush named Marlborough Farms. The Ladybug Transistor was formed in 1995 as the home recording project of singer and trumpeter Gary Olson, and by 1999 the group had swelled to include siblings Jeff Baron (guitar) and Jennifer Baron (bass), Sasha Bell (keyboards and flute), San Fadyl (drums), and Julia Rydholm (violin), who lived together at Marlborough Farms,  a home filled with instruments, recording equipment and a piano room where the group made demos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the 25th anniversary of The Albemarle Sound, the record has been lovingly reissued on silver vinyl by Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. The CD includes 12 bonus tracks which break open the year-long recording process with the inclusion of rare B-sides, four-track demos, instrumentals and alternate mixes, further highlighting the band's mastery of songcraft while teasing out the intricate worlds those songs contain, making a case, as fans of The Ladybug Transistor have known for decades now, that The Albemarle Sound is as infinitely rewarding to return to as it is to visit for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003ch2\u003eMedia\u003c\/h2\u003e        \u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:px;\"\u003e   \u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/312418801\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\u0026amp;visual=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/theladybugtransistor\" title=\"The Ladybug Transistor\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eThe Ladybug Transistor\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/theladybugtransistor\/the-swimmer\" title=\"The Swimmer\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eThe Swimmer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVinyl LP includes digital download with 12 bonus tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eOriental Boulevard\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSix Times\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMeadowport Arch\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eToday Knows\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Great British Spring\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLike A Summer Rain\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Swimmer\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCienfuegos\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Automobile Song\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eOceans In The Hall\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eVale of Cashmere\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eAlieda's Theme\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMassachusetts\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eOriental Boulevard \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSix Times \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLike A Summer Rain\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLike A Summer Rain\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eOceans In The Hall \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCienfuegos\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eToday Knows\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eOceans In The Hall \u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMeadowport Arch\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSix Times\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e HHBTM Records\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternative\/Punk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 74:00 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\/08\/24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 760137168768\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"HHBTM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45473230061817,"sku":"HHBTM232-CD","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/HHBTM232-CD.jpg?v=1725906213","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/the-ladybug-transistor-the-albemarle-sound-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
