Bill Fay – Still Some Light: Part 2 – 2LP

Dead Oceans has announced the re-issue of Bill Fay’s “Still Some Light“, a double compilation album made up of 70s album demos and 2009 home recordings. Released in two parts, pressed on vinyl and out digitally for the first time, “Still Some Light: Part 1” was released 14th Jan, 2022, while “Part 2” came out in April!

Alongside, Dead Oceans has announced plans of a special series of four 7” singles, consisting of different musicians’ interpretations of Bill Fay classics. The first two (one a cover of ‘Dust Filled Room’ by Steve Gunn and the second, Kevin Morby’s version of ‘I Hear You Calling’) will also be released 14th Jan, 2022. Fans who add both a 2xLP and 7″ to their cart can get the 7″ for 15% off.

“Still Some Light” was originally released on compact disc as a two CD collection in 2010. Reimagined with new artwork and available for the first time ever on vinyl, “Still Some Light: Part 1” collects Fay’s archival recordings from 1970 and 1971. Many of the songs are intimate sketches which were eventually re-recorded for Fay’s landmark second album, Time of the Last Persecution. The announcement follows the release of “Countless Branches“ on 17th January, 2020, Fay’s acclaimed seventh studio album and third since his decades-long hiatus.
