Third Man Records Announces Ted Lucas’ Images of Life
Today, Third Man Records announces Images of Life, a career-spanning, 3xLP retrospective boxset illuminating the staggering breadth and depth of Lucas’ work, out May 22nd.
In conjunction, they digitally release disc two, Rainy Days (1970-1974), available to stream in its entirety today. Disc one, Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970), highlights Lucas’ flirtation with psychedelic major label clout via his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards and the Horny Toads. Disc two, Rainy Days (1970-1974) contains the solo acoustic warmth and charm most similar to the music found on his self-titled album. Finally, disc three, Impossible Love (1979), is Lucas’ lost second album. The album, produced by the legendary Don Was, highlights Lucas’ smooth songwriting and near-"yacht rock," while never betraying the true artistry and craft of a once-in-a-generation talent.
Rainy Days (1970-1974) captures Lucas’ early ’70s period, the most consequential of his career. It was at this time that a rejected Warner Bros. songwriter demo was transformed into one of the most significant (and overlooked) private-press folk albums ever made. The compositions Lucas created between 1970 and 1974 represent the peak of his creative work, and the decisions he made about when and how this music saw release (if it was released at all) sealed his fate to be largely unappreciated in his lifetime. Rainy Days features stunning live performances, unreleased studio tracks, and intimate home recordings that reveal a musician at peak expressive power.

OUT NOW: Laughing Hyenas That Girl: Recordings 1986-1994
If ever a band deserved an LP of live material, it’s the Laughing Hyenas. As Wolf Eyes’ Aaron Dilloway so eloquently put it, “The Laughing Hyenas were the scariest band I have ever seen.” With their roots firmly planted in Detroit’s Cass Corridor punk rock and hardcore scene of the early 80s, the Laughing Hyenas took aggressive rock ‘n’ roll to a completely different plane.

CONNIE CONVERSE HOW SAD, HOW LOVELY OUT MARCH 27TH
Nearly 51 years after the singer-songwriter’s disappearance comes the first reissue of this album in nearly 10 years in any format. 20 tracks (including a bonus 7" featuring the previously unreleased “House” and the new remix of “Playboy of the Western World” courtesy of Dirick Cummins) that are as poignant and potent as ever and showcase an artist that was operating light years ahead of her time.
Connie Converse was among the first modern singer-songwriters, a truly unique artist whose unconventional, hypnotically intimate songs were far ahead of their time. Born in Laconia, New Hampshire, in 1924 to strict, religious parents, she excelled academically and briefly attended Mount Holyoke College before moving to New York City in the late 1940s. There, she lived a quiet, bohemian life, and, by 1949, began writing a remarkable body of original songs. Those songs were committed to tape over the next decade, as Converse began recording herself at home on a Crestwood 404 reel-to-reel tape recorder. Starting in 1954, legendary comic artist and animator Gene Deitch also began recording Converse at his Hastings-on-Hudson home, where she was a guest at salons and dinner parties hosted by the Deitch family. Converse’s haunting music blended folk, jazz, and art-song influences, with sophisticated, deeply introspective lyrics that explored themes of longing, independence, and self-knowledge, later becoming hallmarks of the 1960s singer-songwriter movement.
The Laughing Hyenas Announce New Anthology That Girl: Live Recordings 1986-1994 Out February 20th
If ever a band deserved an LP of live material, it’s the Laughing Hyenas. As Wolf Eyes’ Aaron Dilloway so eloquently put it, “The Laughing Hyenas were the scariest band I have ever seen.”
Though the band recorded three blistering LPs and an array of singles and EPs – much of which was reissued by Third Man in 2028 - before calling it a day, their true legacy lies in their brutal, unforgiving live performances, including countless headline runs, tours alongside Sonic Youth and Killdozer, and myriad college radio sessions across the country. That Girl – Live Recordings 1986-1994 now serves as a long overdue reminder of the Laughing Hyenas’s orgiastic power and one-of-a-kind gale-force fury.
