2026 Reissue
LP
Ferdinand (2026) US
Julien Baker recorded Sprained Ankle at Spacebomb Studios in Richmond, Virginia in 2014 and first put it out herself on Bandcamp with a drawing of her own as the cover. After 6131 Records picked it up, the album was mastered and formally released in October 2015 with the now-familiar grey portrait cover.
This reissue restores Baker's original hand-drawn artwork for the first time on a physical release. The nine songs are spare, mostly built on guitar and voice, and include "Sprained Ankle", "Something" and "Go Home".
