scottheisel Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 PRE-ORDER HERE: http://youthconspiracy.bigcartel.com/product/meridian-aging-truths-lp STREAM ALBUM HERE: http://meridianohio.bandcamp.com/ We're incredibly honored to be releasing Meridian's debut album, Aging Truths, in an extremely limited pressing of only 300 copies on random colored vinyl. The earlier you pre-order, the rarer the color you will get. If you order multiple copies, you will receive the rarest colors available at the time of your order. Meridian is the brainchild of Max Stern, best known as the vocalist/guitarist for rising Cleveland punk band Signals Midwest. Many of the songs comprising Meridian's full-length debut, Aging Truths, date back as early as 2007, when Max began playing acoustic house shows around Cleveland. These songs aren't Signals Midwest rejects, though; they draw from an entirely different set of influences, such as the Avett Brothers, Sundowner, the Mountain Goats and Frank Turner. Making the project more special is the involvement of Max's younger brother Jake, who he taught how to play guitar at a young age and contributed to the arrangements of the songs on Aging Truths. One listen to these 10 songs and you'll understand why Max Stern is one of the brightest songwriters to grace the independent punk and folk scenes in quite some time.

serum7 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 YES. Been waiting for this to go up since Max told me last month that you were releasing it. Thanks for putting this record out, probably my favorite from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 You should release The Skatastrophes next!! Haha, this is definitely unlikely. I can't imagine selling more than 10 copies of that record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serum7 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I would've bought it regardless of the color but the two you've posted so far look fantastic. Are these done then or did you just get a few to check out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jipc Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Shiiiiiit! I'm really liking this. Any distro/shop getting this for eu/UK? Pleeeease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipc Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I hope one day i too can turn my bad laptop recorded acoustic songs to something that sounds as half as great as this. You give me hope. Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Shiiiiiit! I'm really liking this. Any distro/shop getting this for eu/UK? Pleeeease! I don't have any direct UK/Euro distro, however the record will be available on Interpunk as well as the YCR webstore so if you want to try to order it with a few other things to save on shipping, you could wait until then. If a UK/Euro distro hit me up, though, I'd definitely have no problem sending them some. jipc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Just ordered, I have practically every YCR release and this sounds pretty cool, so why not? Hopefully I get something crazy/cool looking like whats been posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 One more teaser pic: I'm actually headed down to pick up the records in about an hour—we're still waiting on the LP inserts, so pre-orders won't start shipping yet, but we should definitely be shipping before the 7/16 official street date.

captainaldous Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 BEAUTIFUL! Will be ordering one of these bad boys today or tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Okay, so here's the deal: I've gone through every single record, and to try and categorize them into variants would be IMPOSSIBLE. There are maybe a few colors that repeat more than once or twice, but virtually every single copy is drastically different. As such, we are officially saying this pressing is 330 copies on one-of-a-kind, random-colored vinyl. Each piece is just as rare as the next one.

scottheisel Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 The first half of these pre-orders have shipped but I have run out of mailers! More are on the way as I type this, and I apologize if your order hasn't shipped yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
