The release date for this musical gem is set for November 17, so mark your calendars, folks; you won’t want to miss this.

In a heartfelt statement about this reissue, Sadie Dupuis shared her perspective:

“Speedy made Major Arcana in a flash of momentum—four days of recording at Sonelab with our pal Justin Pizzoferrato, paid for with the cash we scrounged up on a summer tour of this country’s basements. ‘Tour tight’-ness was always our paramount goal, and I’d say we were sufficiently road-tested when we hammered out these fourteen songs, all of them stuffed to the brim with harmonies, guitarmonies, percussion, key overdubs written on the fly. Though the 10 songs that made the album have morphed and mutated thanks to the stages they’ve graced across the past decade, when I listen back to the original recordings, I still hear our boundless energy, hunger for the highway, and excitement to play with our friends—and our dearest wish, to pay homage to the Massachusetts scenes that welcomed us so warmly.”

These words offer a glimpse into the passion and dedication that went into creating “Major Arcana.” It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of Speedy Ortiz and their deep connection to the music they create.

And for those who can’t get enough of Speedy Ortiz, there’s more good news: the band is currently on tour, showcasing their latest full-length album, “Rabbit Rabbit.” So, whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer eager to dive into their discography, there’s no better time to immerse yourself in the world of Speedy Ortiz.

In conclusion, the 10th-anniversary reissue of “Major Arcana” promises to be a nostalgic journey for fans and a captivating introduction for newcomers. With its limited vinyl pressings, personal touches, and remastered sound, it’s a celebration of a remarkable album that has left an indelible mark on the music scene. November 17 can’t come soon enough!
