mrewest Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Since the kickstarter fiasco is well in the past I've modified this OP. Vinyl available via sleepmakeswaves.bandcamp.com for $30 AUS + shipping. Album streaming there now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynflnnry Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 "You get a limited-edition double gatefold vinyl pressing of the new album for $200"Somebody actually sat down and typed that out and was like "yeah this works" FangsAnalSatan, batnoises, sonsofvipers and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 love this band's work....and just watched a live clip from a recent show last night that was fantastic. $200 AUD is a chunk, though, for the vinyl option, and my one and only KS experience has jaded me. Someone already bought the $400 AUD option Test Press for "In Today..." ($354) - not me. $25,000 AUD is probably a realistic sum to really fund it, execute and deliver it the way it should be done for a band this caliber. Best of success to them prob more mp3 or CD here (maybe the signed CD option? nah). A dear friend purchased white vinyl of ...and so we destroyed everything for me as a gift, otherwise I would yet to own vinyl of theirs.

GradedOnACurve Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't know this band, but holy shit at the reward levels. $15 download, $25 CD, $200 vinyl. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreetodisagree Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Not familiar with this band, but I definitely liked what I heard. Shame they have no concept of what people are willing to pay for music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah I was pumped to hear about the crowd sourcing thing because I figured there'd be some cool stuff, but not only is that vinyl option absurd, it appears to be /300. Maybe Aussies are all just filthy rich haha. Might do a DL just to help, but who knows. If they could guarantee a huge US tour if they hit the mark, I'd be more inclined.

littlebistro Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 At least the shipping is free! So there's no additional shipping charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I love this band but come on... I'm still trying to find a fairly-priced copy of "...and so we destroyed everything". drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I bit the bullet & got the $30 copy from BestBuy.com. Very heavy, well put together package though & it sounds great. So I feel like it was worth it.

celebdeath Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 fuckin' 'ell. would love to support these guys, but that's ridiculous. surely, the vinyl will be made available seperately. prolly not for much less than $40, but i think i can wait. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 $15 for a goddamn DL?? utter nonsense. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Pardon my French, but fuck these guys. No matter how much I love a band, if they do some bs like this they are on my permanent shit list. drds89 and videogamesandvinyl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottomakeswaves Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hey all - Otto here from smw. Just FYI, we've realised that that pack was a miscalculation on our part. We intended it to be a pack including the vinyl and some other goodies, but should have considered the peeps who just love vinyl and want to support the band in that way. We have now updated the rewards list to include a $90 vinyl option, (which includes a digital download and name on liner notes). Cheers.

You can go above that but only if you leave sleepmakeswaves and join My Bloody Valentine or Pearl Jam. Thanks for trying, but no thanks. rynflnnry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jase Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've got friends in bands from here, that have self funded an album. And self released that same album with digital, cd and vinyl options. None of it cost anywhere near this. At most it should be $1 per song download, $15 for the cd and $30 for the vinyl. That what it should cost here. eskimosnow27 and turbobrando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
