PRODUCT DETAILS
The cult classic sophomore full-length album from multi-instrumentalist mainstay Bryce Avary, aka The Rocket Summer, is now available for the first time ever on translucent yellow and opaque pink & white double vinyl which includes four additional unreleased recordings. Featuring the tracks, Brat Pack and Never Knew, and recorded while Avary was freshly 21 years old, "Hello, good friend." catapulted TRS into a now over two full decade career of album releases and worldwide headlining tours to a fervent army of fans. This is also the first ever vinyl pressing featuring the original album cover in it's entirety. Limited to 1,100 copies. "Bursting with creativity, "Hello, good friend." is everything a sophomore set of sing-alongs should be: Exuberant, elegant, and as it's name suggests, a proper introduction for the uninitiated." - Alternative Press "Chock full of hooks." - Los Angeles Times "I don't remember the last time I heard something as refreshingly different as this new album from The Rocket Summer." - Dallas Morning News "We're not talking simple acoustic solo stuff here, the music Bryce makes as The Rocket Summer is lush, explosively catchy and artful power pop that hints at a new Brian Wilson or Prince in the making. Keep an eye out on this one." - Austin City Limits
