The Hold Steady Separation Sunday 2005 US 1st Press VG/VG+
THE HOLD STEADY - SEPARATION SUNDAY
The critically acclaimed sophomore studio album from Brooklyn narrative-rockers The Hold Steady. Released on Frenchkiss Records in 2005, Separation Sunday is a sprawling, literary concept album following the interconnected lives of recurring characters like Gideon, Charlemagne, and Holly across the streets of Minneapolis and New York City. Driven by Craig Finn's impassioned spoken-word delivery and Tad Kubler's classic-rock guitar riffs, tracks like "Your Little Hoodrat Friend," "Banging Camp," and "Multitude of Casualties" define one of the most celebrated indie rock releases of the 2000s.
