It was about three and a half years ago that I started to pick up the Lungfish represses that Dischord started putting out. I'd never listened to the band before, but got sucked in by the cover art of one of the records, and then I got slightly addicted and ended up buying 4 colour vinyl represses of their LPs in 2022 ('Love Is Love', 'Rainbows From Atoms', 'Pass And Stow' and 'Sound In Time'). Then in 2023 I picked up 3 more ('A.C.R. 1999', 'Talking Songs For Walking' and 'Indivisable'). After that things seemed to slow down, with nothing appearing in 2024, and then last year a couple more followed ('Feral Hymns' and also the '10 East' 7").
Well, here we are at the start of 2026 and I've just got around to grabbing the latest two in the series. The first is 'Necrophones', which was released as Dischord 119 back in the year 2000. This is / was their 9th full length, and this white vinyl repress came out at some point last year but I only just got around to buying one.
I'm not sure whether this next one technically came out right at the very end of 2025, oo right at the very start of 2026, but it's definitely 'hot off the press'. This is a nice looking clear green vinyl repress of the 1999 LP 'Unanimous Hour'.
This now meanns that I have 10 Lungfish LPs, which seems insane. And the game still isn't over. By my calculation there are now only two more Lungfish LPs that have not been repressed... the 7th LP 'Artificial Horizon', and the the first LP 'Necklace Of Heads'. I'm going to guess that both will be repressed by the end of the year, so let's see what 2026 has in store...
