Just a reminder to roll up at 3:00, today, Sunday, to listen to the new ALEX WARREN jam WILDCHILD, almost a week early.

If you’d like to attend please RSVP by DM’ing us your name, phone number, and whether or not you need a plus one (or call or swing by the shop). Or crash the party!

We’ve got lots of fun giveaways with this one, including sticker sheets, posters & pins, while supplies last. You’ll also have an opportunity to preorder an AUTOGRAPHED COLOR VARIANT VINYL ONLY AT THE EVENT. To sweeten the pot even further, the first folks to pick up the record when it drops next Friday score a sweet bonus poly-sleeve.

Good Morning! 🌅 We sure hope you got a chance to enjoy the powerful & remarkable Mountain Goats last night at The NorVa—it was stellar from dawn to dusk! If you missed it or haven’t checked out their amazing new album Days, they were gracious enough to sign a few copies for us. We’re keeping these in-store only through the weekend. Just call or message for local dibs (or swing by and grab one right away). $31.99. Thanks for supporting indie records stores, Mountain Goats & ya’ll. You rock! ☮️❤️🐐

Just a friendly reminder to check out the powerful & remarkable Mountain Goats tonight, Friday, at The Norva. A few tickets are still available even though most of AFK’s staff will be in attendance. You better grab them fast as we expect the remainder of our staff to “call out sick” soon (we found fake mustache and wig receipts). 🥸😱 Cya there! p.s.: We’re dropping off spinny things and Sharpies to the GOATS this afternoon. We hear they write well! ☮️❤️🐐

That was great.” Ya’ll are gonna have to wait another week to listen, but check out the singles and get those preorders in! ☮️❤️🚓
