Thought you got an OG freebie from Dan?? I do but they don't have jackets and are a bit rough because he was pretty wasted at that show and I watched him drop both records on the floor before he gave them to me haha. He had them in his backpack just in paper inner sleeves. So, I have the music, but the records are filled with some scratches/ticks and as Thomas said, a lot of surface noise. ::shrug:: Would be nice to finally hear a clean copy. I don't get why mine didn't go through tho. I had it in my cart at 12:00 and when the clock turned to 12:03 after I submitted my paypal, it shot me back to the page saying it was sold out. Why would it have let me submit the payment if it wasn't available? I had to do it on my phone, because I wasn't around wifi. Oh well. I guess some records you just aren't meant to own haha. As far as the Jakob and Caspian represses.... I can't wait. It's going to be an expensive year coming up with those, plus the Elusive Sound releases of Ravena and Silent Whale Becomes A Dream. Someone should make like, Vinyl Savings Accounts like we have Health Savings Accounts where we can have money taken out of our paychecks pre-tax lol.

I asked TMS about the Caspian repress, they had some problems and it likely won't arrive until Feb-ish of 2018. Jakob they basically have no clue on haha. I don't understand what takes so long to get these done? Is it something with the previous labels and not supplying needed artwork files or master tapes? I'm just so curious. Real curious what colors the Caspian will be though, because I've been *almost* pulling the trigger on a 1st press half white/half beer for the gatefold with the tan artwork, but this one will be gatefold too they said. Excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 That Sheath sale is damn good. I just grabbed black copies of Tertia and YATC for crazy cheap (somehow I ended up without a 'working' copy of YATC, just the 3xLP test press) . More support equals more new releases!!

Gumbo72203 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 So Fluttery records just signed a new band, Khara, from Macedonia of all places. Their first album is out now, and it's called "There Were Heroes Among Us". You guys ought to give this a listen. It's really well-done chill post-rock with some interesting takes on the drone concept, as "Ode To Edwin J. Hill" has this repeating guitar harmonic thing going on through most of the song that really lets you sink in and meditate on it. The production on this album is absolutely top notch too. Very archetypal Fluttery Records sound, and always enjoyable for me. The opening track is perfect for the early morning when you're just kind of creaking into gear and getting going for the day when you don't want something overbearing. https://khara.bandcamp.com/releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracks 1 and 2 sound like vintage Godspeed, circa Skinny Fists and Yanqui. All of a sudden track 3 comes on and the first five minutes feel like I just pulled a B-side from Saxon Shore's latest, until it collapses in chaos, ushering in "Roads:" a swirling, apocalyptic concoction of distortion and percussion not unlike Year of No Light or familiar "Piss Crowns" from Godspeed's Asunder. The last two songs bring the album full-circle; "Gathering Clouds" brings back the old-school Godspeed goodness with hints of Mono shining through, while "Parting Hymns" is a largely upbeat finale with chimes and guitar loops that reminder me of Do Make Say Think, although that may perhaps be more my initial reaction than from any actual likeness. Highly recommended. Update: Physical copies available for $5ppd, hand-numbered, hand-made #/20. Absolutely no reason not to get this. https://goldenhymns.bandcamp.com/merch Edited December 4, 2017 by omik11303 batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah hey! Thank you for the awesome music and incredible deal... I can't fucking wait. I love how you get into those doomy sludge riffs out of the Godspeed-style post-rock. Great stuff. Not everyday listening but when I want fucking titanic, emotionally-heavy walls of power, you fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to come back here and edit. It will be interesting to see if they get any of these from Pelagic. If they do, it would likely just be the black and none of the colored ones. Although I will ask if the stateside variants aren't super interesting. I fall more in love with this album every time I listen to it. I can't wait to hear it on vinyl.

pemulis Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I bought Utopiod, only 6 euros for shipping from Pelagic. I pick it up more because they are Rosetta; it is my least favorite of theirs so far. I'm willing to give it more listens. They are playing Sydney on Saturday at a pretty awesome venue with Sleepmakeswaves. Should be a pretty fun night. I feel like I've become kind of a hermit, so it's a big deal when I go to a show. I tend to buy tickets and then when the day comes I don't feel like going. Looks like 2018 is shaping up to be a big music year for me. Two of my favorites are recording right now: Latitudes and Glaciers. The last Latitudes has been on heavy rotation since its release (easily top 3 of 2016 for me). I always get nervous when a band I love releases new music though. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I hope this isn't the end....... this makes it hurt even more that I didn't get to see the Requiem for Hell tour. From Facebook... ● Departure of a member and show cancellation notice ● Due to personal reasons, our drummer Takada will be now leaving the band. And also, after several discussions, we have decided to cancel our performance at STORM OF VOID's "War Inside You" release tour on December 22 at Shibuya club Asia due to the reason above.
