  • Ernie in the Matrix T-Shirt
    T-Shirt/Shirt + Digital Album

    Just before Easter Sunday in 1976, Ern made a trip to a local mall in the greater Portland, Oregon area and rolled away with a charming dot matrix portrait of himself. That print out, uncovered alongside the trove of music and assorted ephemera from the Hood family farm house, features on this t-shirt and guarantees a head turn or two with the price of admission. Printed on a high-quality, 100% recycled cotton t-shirts, responsibly sourced from our environmentally minded family at EVERYBODY. With a custom FT$ tag, too!

about

Ernest Hood’s Neighborhoods was released some two decades after the Portland, Oregon born and raised musician’s first forays into field recordings. These very recordings, and those captured over intervening years, define the universal sound and aural images of childhood, a theme memorialized by Hood’s privately-pressed opus of 1975.

Freedom to Spend has restored Ernest Hood’s nostalgic masterpiece with the same care with which he viewed his source material, offering a remastered version of Neighborhoods transferred from the original tapes, expanded across four vinyl sides (the original version was crammed on two). The new edition reproduces Hood’s celebratory liner notes in full, alongside new liner notes by Michael Klausman.
