Hayden Pedigo has officially signed to Sub Pop. To celebrate the occasion, the singer has shared a (presumably satirical) contract with the indie label. The agreement includes a payment of “777 Gorgeous Dollars,” a lifetime supply of free passes to Ol’ Bernard’s Roller Rink & Organ Honkers, and a one-foot plot of Village Lake, “formerly known as Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake in Richland Country, South Carolina, United States.” The contract also states that the label will never ask Pedigo to perform covers of Def Leppard, Dokken, the Doors, Van Halen, or Tank Top Party Lads.

“I signed with @subpop!!! The greatest label on earth! I can’t explain to y’all how excited I am to be working with them!” Pedigo shared on Instagram. “Currently cooking on my next full length album, and I have a lot of exciting things coming. Until then I’m just going to stay stoked about this for the rest of my life! More soon!”
Sub Pop also announced that Pedigo will host a four-month-long NTS residency titled Amarillo Highway With Hayden Pedigo starting February 25th.
