Three Lobed Recordings, one of our favorite labels, is celebrating 18 years of activity and they offer plenty of gifts to the supporters! Right now you can use “ufos_are_real” code to get 15% off of anything on their Bandcamp page and in September TLR is running a Day Party in Raleigh, NC featuring Grouper, Daniel Bachman and Wet Tuna!
IHN would also like to join a celebration of all things Three Lobed and up first we got a playlist of live performances from James Toth, Lee Ranaldo (see our interview with Lee), Steve Gunn and more! Locations include North Carolina (Hopscotch Festival), Tennessee (Big Ears Festival) and Boston.
Up next is a guest mix that New York duo Elkhorn did for us. Their mix features a multitude of tracks by 3LR artists including Gunn-Truscinski Duo, Wet Tuna and Daniel Bachman.
Last but not least – we set up a Twitter thread asking our readers about their favorite Three Lobed release(s). Here’s what they had to say:
Trick question bc they are all great but I truly love Gunn-Truscinski. The Parallelograms are all amazing too.

Hard to pick between the last three Daniel Bachman LPs. My heart says River, my body says self-titled, my head says The Morning Star.

hagerty-toth band – qalgebra I’m a huge Royal Trux fan so this was always going to be on my radar and it turned out to be an excellent album

Descension Yellow Swans or Crystal Healing (GHQ)

probably Clipper Ship but there’s so many good ones! Fuzzweed by mv&ee and River by Daniel Bachman are both high on the list

I’m a huge Bardo Pond fan, so it’s hard for me too choose from all their stuff, but today, I will say the Rise Above it All release. a 21min Maggot Brain(Funkadelic cover) & a 15min Creator Has a Master Plan(Pharoah Sanders cover) = perfection.

Boy, that’s a tough one, but this #GoldenGunn project b/w @SteveGunnMusic & @hissgldnmssr always comes right to mind when thinking of great @3lobed releases: https://t.co/aTXZPTBrj2 https://t.co/OYVYbbTK6M

the anniversary comp Not The Spaces You Know, But Between Them was my introduction and remains my fave, especially the long version of The Lurker

Only been on the @3lobed scene for the last 5-6 years, but the @hissgldnmssr @SteveGunnMusic Golden Gunn collab, @woodenwand‘s Clipper Ship, and all Daniel Bachman have settled pretty deeply into my soul. Though not original releases, the Jack Rose reissues yield endless fruit.

Probably a tie between the Black Dirt Sessions and that Hiss/Chapman from parallelogram. You really can’t go wrong tho pic.twitter.com/eFtmgIbROx

It’s all good but if I had to choose I’d go with the Parallelogram split series, and @woodenwand’s Clipper Ship https://t.co/Oemt011tPn

I love the Gunn-Truscinski stuff too
— David Nadelle (@theedovnoodles) August 17, 2018
I have a soft spot for the Oscillation III set ?
— David Nadelle (@theedovnoodles) August 17, 2018
