Its seems there is an new Sumac LP, already available at Thril Jockey : https://thrilljockey.com/products/love-in-shadow SUMAC, the trio of Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom), Nick Yachyshyn (Baptists), and Brian Cook (Russian Circles), are always searching for a new approaches and challenges. Love In Shadow is a brutalizing dive into love and all its raw emotions. Turner’s nimble songwriting combusted with the road-honed intuition and technical prowess of his bandmates results in a sound that is at once complex and primal. Riffs lurch into psychotropic scrapes, drum fills are distended and mangled, and Turner’s voice carries the weight of a strife that is colossal in both volume and austerity. Recorded live in a single room at Robert Lang Studios in Washington by Kurt Ballou (Converge), who later mixed the album at his own studio God City, Love In Shadow ushers in a more improvisational songwriting approach for SUMAC - a sea change galvanized by their collaboration with Keiji Haino. Finding comfort in the negative spaces within each track’s borderland was the trio’s primary goal in writing the four massive tracks comprising Love In Shadow. On the album's emotional motif, guitarist/vocalist Aaron Turner says: “Since many of the surface level aspects of our being are often used as divisive tools to separate/alienate us from one another, the intent here is reveal that at our base level all humans desire and need to be loved and accepted for who they are, for just being.” 2xLP pressed on virgin vinyl, packaged in a wide spine jacket printed on uncoated stock with custom high gloss slipcase and free download card. Limited quantities of vinyl pressed on clear vinyl with pink and black high melt.

Today I thought about ordering you, premeditated purchase #moosevibes

Unnumbered box (_/100) up here: https://yobislove.bandcamp.com/album/our-raw-heart

Come back and defend this pile of shit! You don't just drop a load like this and not stick around to blindly defend it to the bitter end.

Damn, wasn't expecting a proper Sumac album so quickly after the Keiji collaboration! Adding this to the 'order on payday' list

Wanted to share a short video I shot and edited together to showcase the process behind this release! Hope you all enjoy it.

Yuuuup. Solid track though. Certainly hope it makes its way onto vinyl at some point but I'm not holding my breath.

Pre-order and info up at Merge. The Peak Vinyl edition is on milky white & yellow swirl vinyl. https://www.mergerecords.com/what-another-man-spills-reissue

NAS is awesome dude. This album is going to be amazing. Yeah you’ll like it.

New song tomorrow at noon!

Just received notification for this, campfire and Le Matos.

yes, obviously.

Bull Moose just put up a MOV purple /750: http://www.bullmoose.com/p/27508115/andrew-wk-youre-not-alone-purple-vinyl

I ordered 'Of Great Eternity' 'To Embrace' and 'Dethroned' the day they were put up, before everything else was announced. After no issues with my Leviathan 'First Sublevel' LP order, I had already preordered Leviathan's "Unfailing Fall.." and felt fine with my orders. Then the preorders just kept coming: variants, deluxe this / deluxe that. THEN the shipping dates updated in Bandcamp from September to December - which would fall after the 6-month protected Paypal Window. And THEN the "We found 38 deadstock copies of the OG Sombre 'Distant' pressing so we're hooking you all up" but in reality they were bootlegs, they are discovered so they change their tune to "Who cares who pressed it, I can't get a first press and this version is pretty nice considering." I don't need JI reissues bad enough to deal with this rigmarole from this company. They can all stay as elusive $200-600 first presses on Discogs, we don't need "Andrew gave me permission 10 years ago" garbage reissues.

I actually think their cover of Rosanna is better than this.

Yeah it should be $5. It was earlier. Weird snag in the system most likely.

$29.64 shipped from Amazon Germany

Ah. This is why I waited to order... BM points for life. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/27534659/kanye-west-ye

please dont lump me in with the white knight gape-tards. i could care less what you call yourself on an internet message board.

I think he's saying that there are already actually 23 other non-black variants of this album, most of which look better than this and cost less. Not sure than can be said for every Newbury exclusive color repress.

No, kidding, Mr. Wiseau!?

Happy with my purps

You're gonna love this album next month calling it right now

Kinda frustrated because I was waiting for the stock e-mail for the second batch and it never happened...

This song (like all of Kintsugi) is a banger. Can’t wait for this album to drop.

definitely grabbing the deluxe. clip sounds great

Mastodon - Leviathan exclusive https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/exclusive-vinyl/products/mastodon-leviathan_exclusive_lp?variant=12219417755753

According to some reddit threads, the prize is a USB drive with 2 new tracks and a remix. For anyone needing hints, check the source code.

Wow almost wanted to turn off that song at several places. He has such a good voice and burying it under the chant of "Gold Rush" is just bad. I'd have to wait on this one.

I would even go so far as to say...I don't think I've ever listened to all of Codes and Keys and still think it's garbage. Definitely agree with you.

How does it sound? Is it a good pressing?

Just got mine in. The picture came out dark but it's surprisingly very faithful to the mockup. Gorgeous record. EDIT: Am I doing something wrong that this picture looks blurry until you click on it?

Agreed. Haven’t really liked much of their output since Plans - which was 13 years ago.

Do you live in the ocean or something how's that possible?

I was able to listen to Canary Yellow yesterday and was really into it. I felt that it was a really well balanced mix of melody and metal.

They can keep reissuing all of these Chop records and I'll happily purchase every last one. Oh(Ohio) is the record that got me into them. The Live at XX Merge release is a top 3 live record of the last 15 years IMO.

Kids see ghosts? As Bruce Willis is Dead I say "Pfft...been there. Let me know when you're on some new shit"

that first Film School single "Crushing" blew me away. Stoked to hear the full record soon! Also, a few pages back I posted my band's new video single. Well, now the whole 4-track EP is out and one of Germany's most important music magazines, VISIONS, has picked it as their "demo of the month" in the current print issue. So, as apparently it isn't utter shit, I thought you folks might be interested in checking it out as well. Fun Fact: We were even featured in the same DKFM episode as Film School where I learned about their single! I still for the heck of me can't figure out how to embed the BC player here. I'll try and if it fails, I'll just leave the link here in hopes that someone clicks on it! Shun - Nothing Quite As Heavy on bandcamp

While you're shopping for Pro Era vinyl, don't miss out on this. I enjoy it even more than All Amerikkkan Badass. https://www.discogs.com/Chuck-Strangers-Consumers-Park/release/11991407 Edit: Where the hell is the Cap Steez project already!?!?

We can not be held responsible for what happens if you put them in a laser disc player but we bet it's awesome.

It is actually pretty good. Make Africa great again.

Anyone into the Chillhop Essentials seasonal album series? I just recently, within the last month or so, discovered these collections and not only are they fantastic compilations, they're also a great source for me to discover new lofi/triphop artists. I put in a PO for the Spring 2018 vinyl. Been looking at getting back catalog vinyl but have only been able to secure Fall 2017 so far. Anything before that is pretty high up there in market value and I'm just not in a position to unload a bunch of money on it.

Good news: I received my copy today. Bad news: it looked like this: The cover was completely shattered as well. Devastated.
