TPH976

Even with that description and Lucier reference, I don't know who really expected this. I just don't think they have the artistic credibility to justify a blind left turn on their fans like this. It's not like we've followed them down a road of twists and turns to get here. I've spent tons of money supporting this band in all ways and am feeling duped. And most of the records I buy are experimental/ambient/drone/etc.! It's not the point, but I don't see these holding any value give the list price and pressing quantity either. But I'm keeping it since I'm sure no one else wants it!

Up on Kompakt’s Bandcamp now too, but still pricey with shipping: https://kompakt.bandcamp.com/album/der-lange-marsch Bleep should be putting this up at some point, maybe better shipping from them.

I like the upbeat ones too but I feel there's more for them to explore with the slower stuff. Actually liking this quite a bit after a few listens, more than I thought after hearing the singles. Sam's singing seems different this time around, a little more nuanced.

This single is so damn good.

This Ulla release is incredible, repress/300 up now: https://boomkat.com/products/tumbling-towards-a-wall

Something to be said for Drag City not offering any pressing gimmicks ever, just putting out high quality product for fans of their artists. Pressing sounds wonderful and the record is incredible. Bill is one of the greats.

I think I read there'd be a preorder this Friday, 4/19. In the meantime, Rough Trade has copies of their RSD stock online: https://roughtrade.com/us/music/sunn-o-life-metal , which I assume are black.

Looks like they sent out another code for a ticketmaster presale at 1 pm est today. This time for all members.

This album fucking rips. Is there a better rock and roll band on the planet?

Maybe a Secretly Society exclusive? Thought that about the new Ryley Walker too.

Some signed black copies here, 50 bucks-ish: https://revolvemerchandise.shop/products2/slowdive-slowdive-signed-blk-lp-vinyl-record

Awesome song, best band. It's great that the Loser Edition is on black too. Kinda bummed about the cover art, though - love Froberg's illustrations.

Secretly Store just released a "VERY limited" amount of the Blue Japanese version.

Not a fan of this dude. Had a brief run in with him once (he was a dick), and he fucked me and a bunch of people over with a Kickstarter years back. New Ducktails stuff is mediocre at best - terrible lyrics, not much guitar. His playing in Real Estate was great, so it's a bummer.
