Thylacine (on 45 and digital)

The Union Electric's new 45 features a "scored poem" called "Thylacine".
The lyrics are taken from Stefene Russell's poem of the same name from her collection "The Extinction of the Species".

The track is available now through iTunes and Amazon's digital music sites.
If you are more interested in the physical artifact, it's a nice one. The records are pressed on randomly-mixed colored vinyl and feature a custom-designed cover by Sleepy Kitty Graphic Arts.

The Union Electric plays an official release show with film accompaniment by VJ Evil Che at Mangia Italiano in Saint Louis on August 14. Opening sets by Beth Bombara and Cassie Morgan.

--- This new record and all my others are available by check or through PayPal - mystery@kdhx.org - payment may be sent to this address as well as e-mail orders.
