Joyful Noise Recordings has announced Shimmy Disc label founder Kramer as its 2020 artist-in-residence. The post-punk musician and producer (Galaxie 500, Low, Daniel Johnston) established the New York based label in 1987. As part of the residency, the label will relaunch with five releases from various new projects to be made available as downloads in addition to a limited edition five LP box set in early 2021.

The first release to be announced is Songs We Sang In Our Dreams, the debut album from his project with vocalist Xan Tyler called Let It Come Down: a project that's been “percolating in Kramer's mind for over 20 years”.

“I’d been hearing Xan's voice in my dreams for decades, so you can imagine the shock I experienced when I first heard her voice while awake,” said Kramer. “I invited her to work with me on an LP of songs I'd been working on for a long, long time.”

Listen to “Monday” below. You can pre-order the box set or buy a series of downloads, delivered monthly to your inbox for the rest of the year.
