Cause & Effect is an ambitious split 7″ series from Joyful Noise.  A somewhat conceptual release, Cause & Effect features three separate split 7″ records which each adhere to an overarching theme: an in?uential, historically-significant solo musician on Side A, and the modern result of that musical influence on Side B. 
The first of an annual volume, “Cause & Effect vol. 1” features new unreleased recordings from Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr., Folk Implosion), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), and David Yow (The Jesus Lizard), coupled with the current, fully-formed musical projects Dumb Numbers, Talk Normal, and Child Bite.  Each Side B track corresponds to the musical trajectory set in motion by the former. Get it? Cause (side a) and Effect (side b)… 
All three 7″s are sold together in one super elaborate package, featuring new amazing artwork (and sketches of each band) by Shawn K Knight.  This release is strictly limited to 2,000 hand-numbered copies on split color vinyl. The cost is $18, and you can pre-order here: ORDER HERE
