Description

Thou's A Primer of Holy Words is a full-length compilation of their non-Nirvana covers they recorded and released from 2009-2022. All of the songs appeared on limited pressings of various split EPs and benefit compilations. The range of bands being covered is wide: Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains from abandoned tribute projects; Born Against from a small press European compilation; Ginger Quail, an obscure New Orleans punk band from the late 90s; and so on.

This collection includes artwork from former New Orleans - now Mexico City - artist Rachel Speck from her Tropical Goth imprint.

Limited to 300 copies, the VMP exclusive edition of Thou's A Primer of Holy Words is pressed on Blue and White Cloudburst vinyl at New Orleans Record Press. The 1LP will arrive in a single, direct-to-board, foil stamped and numbered jacket. It was mastered by James Plotkin.
