For the fourth edition of the FADER/Southern Comfort 7" series, we asked ourselves, "What would it sound like to get your butt sliced off by a ninja robot in the year 3076?" The answer (clearly) was Parisian party animal Busy P on one side and B'more blockslayer DJ Blaqstarr on the other. And then we got Tomoe Hayama to design that ninja's adverthrowingstar for the cover. Watch out!
FADER/Southern Comfort 7" Series #3: Magnificent Seven
It’s that time again: team FADER got with Southern Comfort to color your world with a new limited edition FADER/Southern Comfort 7". ATL faves Black Lips stunned us with their Twilite Zoned intro to “Wild Man” on side a, and P-town fave YACHT succinctly spelled out his “No Favors Policy” on the b-side (think grunge, folks!). Philly artist Andrew Jeffrey Wright designed a wavy gravy illustration to bring it all home. Sensory overload—and more proof that we love you!
