Merge to re-issue final two Archers of Loaf albums in August

After reissuing Icky Mettle last year and Vee Vee in February, Merge Records is reissuing the final two albums of the Archers of Loaf catalog this summer.

The albums All the Nations Airports (1996) and White Trash Heroes (1998) will be released on August 7 and, just like the other reissues, these are remastered and will feature a plethora of bonus tracks including b-sides and demos. Check out the full track lists below.
