Shakey Graves — And The War Came

180-gram double LP

10th Anniversary Edition w/ poster and album download

Featuring unearthed demos, alternate versions and fan-favorite tracks available for the first time!

"In many ways the release of And The War Came, along with the first swath of shows and promotions, drove me to the edge of my sanity. Yet here, ten years later, looking back, I know that this record is a source of unparalleled joy and pride. Its creation introduced me to some of the greatest people I will ever know and in many ways has allowed me to explore the world beyond my own city gates.

It is not war; but it's not just music. It's some of the sweetest times trapped in wax, exceeding and defying my expectations at every turn. For this Ten Year Anniversary edition, I wanted to showcase some of the odds and ends literally left on the kitchen floor during the recording process." — Shakey Graves

Celebrating a decade of Shakey Graves' breakout debut album, And the War Came: Ten Year Anniversary Edition includes a deluxe 2LP vinyl set with new gatefold art, photos, liner notes, and a personal letter from Alejandro Rose Garcia himself. The B-disc contains unearthed demos, alternate versions, and fan-favorite tracks available for the first time.

The album spawned the RIAA certified gold-selling single "Dearly Departed (feat. Esme Patterson)" and helped usher in a new folk revival in 2014 as Shakey Graves performed Conan, Letterman, Seth Meyers, Austin City Limits, and Tiny Desk all in the same run leading to his Best Emerging Artist crown at the 2015 Americana Music Awards.
