villagerrr – Tear Your Heart Out (with Bonus Flexi) – LP – Black Vinyl [OCT 10]

LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl with Bonus Flexi. First time on vinyl.

As villagerrr, Mark Allen Scotts patient songs are mesmerizing and unmistakably Midwestern. On his latest record, Tear Your Hear Out, the prolific Ohio artist pinpoints quiet, mundane experiences and imbues them with disarming emotional clarity. Its a record for long drives dappled with sunlight and small-town get-togethers. Chalk-full of home-recorded songs of tasteful indie rock with understated twang, the record solidifies Scott as an essential voice alongside the rising tide of his peers and collaborators.

Originally released in 2024 by Darling Recordings, Tear Your Heart Out was warmly received and thrived on the undercurrent, rippling out into a handful of sold out tape runs, tours with Real Estate, Horse Jumper of Love and Momma, and most recently, a record deal with Winspear, the LA-based label that has issued breakout records from Slow Pulp, Barrie and Wishy. The label will be issuing the LP on vinyl for the first time, and will also be releasing a Digital Deluxe Edition of the LP featuring five previously unreleased recordings.

RIYL: MJ Lenderman, Hovvdy, Babehoven, Greg Freeman, Songs: Ohia, feeble little horse, Alex G, Merce Lemon.
