Donnie & Joe Emerson “Dreamin’ Wild” CD/LP/Digital OUT NOW!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

“‘Baby’ has been a staple on just about every playlist/mixtape I’ve assembled in the past 3 years. It is nothing short of sublime.” – Ariel Pink

This is one of those LPs that helps one understand why people bother to even look for records to begin with. – Oliver Wang, Soul-Sides.com

Donnie & Joe Emerson’s hypnotic Dreamin’ Wild has been on heavy rotation here at MOJO. And rightly so. – MOJO Magazine

It’s official, available today the world over, Donnie & Joe Emerson’s Dreamin’ Wild, and is something special. In it, Donnie & Joe made an album that is a study in isolation and creativity. Originally released in 1979, Dreamin’ Wild is the sonic vision of the talented Emerson boys, recorded in a family built home studio in rural Washington State. Situated in the unlikely blink-and-you-missed-it town of Fruitland and far removed from the late 1970s punk movement and the larger disco boom, Donnie and Joe tilled their own musical soil, channeling bedroom pop jams, raw funk, and yacht rock.

For more info, check out the “What’s Inside” videos, as well as the short documentary Rock N Roll Farmers above, and be sure to pick up a copy at LightInTheAttic.net or your favorite purveyor of fine wax. And don’t forget to snag the Dreamin’ Wild official tee…TEAM DREAMIN’. Essential summer threads.

“A godlike symphony to teenhood.” 8.0 - Pitchfork

 “You’d never guess that a pair of teens from rural Washington could pull off an album that’s part garage-psych, part blue-eyed soul and part sunshine pop, and that all parts would exceed expectations. Remarkably diverse and listenable.” - NPR

It’s been a long time coming for Donnie & Joe Emerson. What started humbly in 1979 as a combination of youthful ambition, colossal tallent, and an incredible family support system has blossomed into a supernova 33 years later. For this weeks’ Free Basin’ Fridays, we’re giving away a very special Donnie & Joe mega-pack! The giveaway includes the Emerson brothers lone album, Dreamin’ Wild (your choice of 180-gram LP or CD), the “Team Dreamin’” old-school baseball tee, PLUS an original and super rare copy of Donnie & Joe’s first release, the “Take It” b/w “Thoughts In My Mind” 45!
