Hiding from the Landlord is a twenty-four track compilation album by the Irish post-punk band Five Go Down to the Sea?. It was released in April 2020 on vinyl and CD by Allchival records, an imprint of AllCity Records.[1][2]
The album was accompanied by a twenty-page fanzine with contributions from Elvira Butler, Cathal Coughlan of Microdisney, Pete Astor of The Weather Prophets, Gavin Friday of the Virgin Prunes, and writers John Robb, Kevin Barry, Declan Lynch and Cónal Creedon.[1] The track listing was compiled by documentary producer Paul McDermott and John Byrne, who also authored the fanzine.[3][4] The release contains the first official release of "Knocknaheeny Shuffle", which was recorded live during the Knot A Fish sessions, but had only survived on cassette copies.[A][3]
