Wino Makes My Day
Well, it’s not the first time it’s happened, and I’m sure it won’t be the last, but Scott “Wino” Weinrich has just made my day. The legendary doom guitarist/vocalist of The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand, his Wino solo outfit and most recently the epic supergroup Shrinebuilder (sometimes it’s just fun to list the bands) has announced that he’ll be releasing his first-ever acoustic album in the Fall via Germany‘s Exile on Mainstream, who are now streaming the track “Hold on Love” at their MySpace.
The album is called Adrift and the first pressing comes in a limited-edition wood box. Life doesn’t get much cooler than that. Here’s the news from the label, as submitted to me by none other than doom brother Mike Hanson, aka Zodiac Lung:
Following fan’s requests and advice from friends Wino has now recorded his first ever acoustic record called Adrift to be released on Exile on Mainstream in September 2010. About time you say? Fair enough. More news will follow soon!
Wino will be presenting the material that for sure is his most personal and intense to date live in a very intimate atmosphere in Fall 2010.

You are welcome.
Thank you.
Too cool.
I’ll let you know as soon as I find out anything about pre-ordering.
I gotta have one of them wooden boxes editions. ;-)
It’ll be in Euros though so it’ll be expensive I’m sure. Unless we get lucky enough that someone like All That is Heavy or Southernlord carry it domestically. Probably the regular version, not the box though.
I need this! But I’ve read that the wooden box edition is only available on tour. I really hope this isn’t true, because he probably won’t be touring anywhere near me!
