Marshall Crenshaw Announces From The Hellhole out August 29, 2025 on Yep Roc Records
Curated Collection Features Remixed and Remastered Tracks from a Series of Limited Edition EPs
and Rare Deep Cuts Recorded at “The Hellhole”
Tour Dates Announced
Listen/Share: “Move Now”
June 17, 2025 — Acclaimed singer/songwriter and record-maker Marshall Crenshaw will release From The Hellhole, a 14-track collection of handpicked, remixed, and remastered songs featuring tracks from a series of EPs along with several rare deep cuts. Primarily recorded in his home studio, affectionately dubbed “The Hellhole,” the collection mostly spans the last two decades (there’s one song from 1990) and will be released August 29 on Yep Roc Records and is now available for pre-order.
Produced by Crenshaw, From The Hellhole resurrects eleven of the eighteen tracks originally issued on a series of limited-edition Record Store Day vinyl EPs released between 2012 and 2016, all of which have been out of print since 2017. With rights now reverted back to Crenshaw, these recordings have been compiled here in the interest of what he describes as “legacy curation”—a personal mission to properly archive and reissue work that continues to resonate. Of the eleven EP tracks, eight have been remixed. “They’re their best selves now,” says Marshall.
The album’s three additional tracks include a striking demo of 1991’s “Walkin’ Around,” a previously unreleased version of “I Just Want to Celebrate” (by Motown’s Rare Earth), and “Couldn’t I Just Tell You,” originally recorded for a 2022 Todd Rundgren tribute project. Crenshaw also includes several highly personal renditions of songs that shaped him, including “(They Long to Be) Close to You,” a dreamy, dub-infused homage to Karen Carpenter and the legendary Wrecking Crew.
In support of the album, Crenshaw will hit the road this fall with stops throughout the Midwest and East Coast. A current list of shows is below and tickets are available here, with additional shows to be announced.
Of his City Winery New York show last fall Infocus Visions Music & Arts Magazine hailed, “Marshall Crenshaw live is an experience in itself. Forget the solo artist; this is a full band explosion that showcases the magic of musical synergy. Watching them on stage is like peeking into a creative engine room. You see the interplay, the energy flowing between them, how each member feeds off the others to create that signature Marshall Crenshaw sound.”
