Kamasi Washington announces The Epic vinyl release

Earlier this year, Kamasi Washington released his sprawling three-disc avant garde jazz debut, The Epic. And though it’s a long one, it’s been just dying for a vinyl release. And now that’s finally happening. On Oct. 2, Brainfeeder will release The Epic as a three-LP set. That’s what the packaging looks like above. The tracklist is in a slightly different order, so it can fit on each side of vinyl properly, so you can take a gander at that below. Pre-orders are now up at Kamasi Washington’s Bandcamp page.
