The Hold Steady Separation Sunday
Couldn't load pickup availability
Originally released in 2005, Separation Sunday is the album that cemented The Hold Steady’s reputation for rich, character-driven storytelling—pairing big, barroom rock with vivid narratives of faith, addiction, redemption and the lives that intersect along the way. Driven by Craig Finn’s unmistakable vocal delivery and the band’s anthemic, guitar-led sound, it remains one of the defining indie rock records of its era.
Featuring standout tracks like “Your Little Hoodrat Friend”, “Stevie Nix”, “Charlemagne In Sweatpants” and the epic closer “How A Resurrection Really Feels”, the album unfolds like a loose concept piece, with recurring characters and themes woven throughout. It’s raw, energetic and full of heart—widely regarded as a cornerstone release in the band’s catalogue.
This 20 Year Anniversary Edition expands the original album across 2LP, including bonus material such as Virgin Digital Session recordings and demos, offering a deeper look into the songs and their evolution. A must-have for long-time fans and a perfect entry point into The Hold Steady’s world of storytelling and sound.
