KingTacoMunster Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Not sure how I missed this but looks like Brittany from the "shakes" has a side project and dropped an album. Sounds pretty solid, so I grabbed one as not many were probably made. The shop looks like it's through the Shakes webstore, so may be a "not on label/self release". I did a quick search to see if this has been talked about but I did not see anything so here ya go. https://youtu.be/4s3CN-8a3aM Webstore: http://alabamashakes.shop.redstarmerch.com/Product.aspx?cp=55395_72097&pc=AZLP04&view_in=Mobile Website: http://www.thundabetch.com/ diabretic and greenfaerie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'll have to check this out. My girlfriend was really into Boys and Girls and I thought it was a pretty good album. When she put on Sound And Color I didn't like it much at all. Hopefully this is better. diabretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTacoMunster Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Kinda curious -- what makes you think they didn't make that many? Because it looks like it was a self release, "not on label", so they would of, most likely, had to pay for it out of pocket and shit isn't cheap.

Parker Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 i don't think this band is hurting...they are playing some pretty big places and festivals Yeah, they're one of the biggest bands in the country right now so a side project like this probably isn't going to set them back that much. I'm not saying you're wrong, and I have no clue how many they pressed, I just doubt it, that's all. I liked the album when I streamed it. Not sure I need a physical copy though. I actually prefer the funkier, groovier "Sound and Color" stuff as opposed to the more rockin' Shakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 i don't think this band is hurting...they are playing some pretty big places and festivals It's not the whole band, from what I read it seems like it's just brittany and some new folk. I'm hoping it gets a bigger release, so I can find it without having to pay $7+ for a single LP shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChardeeMacDennis Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 it was going to let me check out with 800 so there are probably a good amount of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see your point if it was a side project of the drummer and people were like who? But Brittany is the face of this band that has a huge following. You can justify your thinking but it's a little flawed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeKaye Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I love the shirts they are selling, but the shipping plus the actual price triggers the import tax we pay over here, so it will end up being a £50 top all in all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salvatoreleeray Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Bullmoose put up indie exclusives /500 but they seem gone already. Anyone know if these are just bullmoose exclusives or are they available still somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Think they are an indie store exclusive so I'd probably check with your store, probably one of those bootleg editions like they did with their first album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 I wonder what makes it limited though. as in different from the one on the above link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The one on their site is probably the standard edition that made a bunch of and probably not that limited at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 yea I get that, but its ridiculous if there is nothing different (ie: colored/bonus songs) for it to be called "limited/exclusive". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Well the color is different and it may have a different cover if it is one of those "bootleg" editions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 oh, I didn't see where it said what color is was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunezj12 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I got this in the mail today. For those on the fence, it's a great release. Gatefold sleeve, lyrics insert, download card. The front and back of the sleeve are completely black with the title and song titles on raised font. Heavyweight, black vinyl is nice and quiet.

Finally got a chance to listen, and bought a copy today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
