PO Soon: Del Paxton/Gulfer split (Topshelf)


Recommended Posts

Two songs from each band, assuming it'll be a 7", coming out April 7th. This split is gonna be killer and y'all who aren't up on these bands are gonna change that real soon. Del Paxton is 90s emo with a little math and Gulfer is math with a little 90s emo, so if you've been a fan of what Topshelf puts out then I have no doubt you'll like at least one of the bands here.

purple smoke is like clean w/ whispy shit doesn't really affect sound kind of like a splatter

Yeah but what they call "smoke" could be what GZ calls "haze."

Topshelf correctly identified one of the Braid No Coast variants as blue with black haze and they have properly named other variants "color with color smoke". I think you should be pretty safe to assume this is as Chris described, clear with purple whisps.

also doesn't topshelf use pirate press?

 

I believe so. And I think they'd know how to identify a haze like mentioned above haha, they do a lot "clear w/ smoke" variants and they are what people are describing as whispy. Examples of Topshelf's smoke variants:

 

clear w/ red smoke

Topshelf doesn't always use pirates press. But I've been broke and haven't ordered anything in a while, so maybe things changed. I think Gotta Groove did some of their 2014 releases.

 

Yeah you're prolly right haha. Very common for labels to switch up plants for some projects depending on turnaround time and what not.

They'll use Pirate's or Gotta Groove depending on whatever variables. For instance the latest Prawn, Braid, and Jazz June albums were all pressed at Pirate's but the Prawn 7" and My Fictions album were both pressed at GG. If you guys are confident that it won't be GZ haze shit I'll grab that one. Worst case scenario is I sell that copy and get a different one.

Hey everyone, thanks so much for the support so far on this release! The record is being pressed at gotta groove and the "smoke" will be similar to the whispy style that has been mentioned. We've used practically every plant out there depending on cost/color and variant options/turn time and location we'll need a lot of the records to be. However, we've definitely used gotta groove for at least half of our releases. The smoke effect doesn't have a negative impact on the sound of the record. When we've done a haze record with pirates we've done our best to make it clear that it is a haze since pirates specifically called it that.
