Now announcing... Third Man Release Lab! 
An online series in two parts.

Whether you’re an artist, independent label, or simply interested in the mechanics of the music industry, this series offers something for everyone interested in how modern release campaigns take shape. And it’s completely FREE. 

Tune in June 8 & 9 for a behind-the-scenes look at our creative approach to record releases, discussions on the music industry’s evolution, and the strategies we feel still hold up in 2026.

For event information and updates, register now via link in bio.

Relive the night Sierra Ferrell recorded live direct-to-acetate at Third Man Records on September 22, 2025.

Preorder now via the link in bio.
Available on vinyl June 5, 2026.

Images of Life is the career-spanning, 3xLP retrospective boxset illuminating the staggering breadth and depth of Detroit’s unheralded songwriting genius, Ted Lucas. Available for pre-order now via link in bio.

“Rainy Days” is now available digitally everywhere you stream music.

Disc one “Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970)” highlights Ted’s flirtation with psychedelic major label clout via his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards and the Horny Toads. “Rainy Days (1970-1974)” will be the solo acoustic warmth and charm most familiar to folks already aware of Ted’s self- titled “OM” album from 1975. “Impossible Love (1979)” the lost second Album finds Ted smooth and nearly “yacht rock” while never betraying the true artistry and craft of the once-in-a-generation talent of Ted Lucas.

The 3xLP boxset arrives from Third Man Records on May 22nd.

Respect to TMR for making the impossible possible, particularly @xoxowar and @rope_eterhans who spent many hours with me perfecting this collection.

Arguably the best-known live show from the Elephant-era (with previous versions both vinyl and digital having been shared over the years) this July 2nd, 2003 outing at the “brawlroom” is unlike any other show that run. As one of the few shows on the tour to not feature “Black Math”, the performance skips many of the more-familiar songs in favor of deep cuts like “Aluminum”, “Black Jack Davey”, “Candy Cane Children” and the live debut of “The Air Near My Fingers.” The highlight though is undoubtedly the impromptu jam that would eventually turn into “Little Cream Soda.” While still with much of the favorites present, the experimental and confrontational vibe of the show is palpable...both starting and ending with ominous walls of feedback. Equal parts mania, exhaustion and inspiration, it’s crazy to think that *this* show tends to be the primary reference for the entire era. So while it can be one of the most challenging for a newcomer to the band, it’s one of the most rewarding and unique performances that Jack and Meg ever gave.

Out this Friday and available for preorder now.
Images of Life: an archival 3xLP collection of Detroit songwriter Ted Lucas.

Disc one, Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970), highlights Lucas’ flirtation with psychedelic major label clout via his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards and the Horny Toads. Disc two, Rainy Days (1970-1974) contains the solo acoustic warmth and charm most similar to the music found on his self-titled album. Finally, disc three, Impossible Love (1979), is Lucas’ lost second album. The album, produced by the legendary Don Was, highlights Lucas’ smooth songwriting and near-“yacht rock,” while never betraying the true artistry and craft of a once-in-a-generation talent.
