Heard they broke up, any more info on this?
-
Haven't been following this for a few days. Anything new and relevant?

Currently in the UK: is there a store over here which still has the indie one in stock?

Kinda disappointed with this album. Loved Kingfisher though so will give it a few more spins

(Sorry if this has already been said somewhen in this thread before)
Like some of you, I was thinking about ordering that mysterious "grey" German variant of Amazon/other German online websites. However, a good friend of mine who's currently in Berlin went to a big electronic store over there and sent me the picture below. Note how it says "grey colour" on the store sticker but then clearly "pressed on white vinyl" on the actual vinyl sticker. He asked one of the store employees and they told him that 4AD/distributor added it to their ordering system as a "grey" vinyl. I guess that that same distributor probably added this false information to the Amazon website, which would explain why it is listed as grey there as well. Just a heads up for you guys!

Check back in after you've listened to it 4-5 times.
This one is a different kind of grower than other National albums, as a majority of the songs build slowly, use very simple vocal melodies, and are driven by the drums & electronic layers rather than drums & shimmering Dessner guitars. IMO, once you start telling the slow songs apart from each other, you realize they are just as great as the obvious faster songs and have their own jittery, unsettling bite to them even though they're a bit stripped down.
Couldn't agree more. Was lucky to get my copy already in the mail last Friday and been listening to it on repeat since then. This album definitely grows a lot slower than other National albums, but it does. It definitely does.

Have to agree with both of you guys. The last album was already a bummer but this one is nothing short but a huge disappointment

Got that signed vinyl. Song is great

Here's my coke bottle too there can never be too much.
Mine looks way more grayish than yours or is that just your light?

That's my coke bottle clear which arrived here today. Sorry for the bad picture but it was just intended for a friend. Just saw now that there isn't a picture of it here. Feel free to downvote or whatever.

Pretty sure that mentioned test press is a steal too. What a dick..

Keep it in a paper sleeve and shelve it next to a wall on your record shelf where all the weight from the records will be leaning on it and in a few days it'll be good, if you've got a box set put that in front of it and it'll help to flatten it out
Okay I will try this out, thanks!

Got a shipping confirmation from Amazon Germany for my $18 copy. Stoked!

Hey guys, I'm not really sure where this topic would belong so please feel free to move it to the right place.
I scored big time on a very rare (100 copies) record when I pre-ordered it via the label and they were kind enough to provide me with this clear copy. I never spun it because I had (of course haha) other copies too. However, today I thought I would put it on to get excited once again for a new album or whatever and saw that my copy is really bent (picture below). It was always stored safely and properly with my other records so I have literally no experience with this whatsoever. My guess is that the package was too long outside in the sun when I received it back in the days (even though my other copies were fine). Anyone a good idea how to handle this tragedy? I'm heartbroken.

Hey guys, first of all: sorry for the bump and for people perhaps freaking out that this is about the new album - it's not.
I scored big time on AWLWLB when I pre-ordered it via Deathwish and they were kind enough to provide me with a clear copy. I never spun it because I had (of course haha) other copies too.

Isn't this whole discussion at the end of the day completely irrelevant because it's peoples own money and no one forces anyone to buy anything? Fuck's sake..
-
I really like the packaging on this, especially the mirrored text in the lyric sheet. However, I do think the vinyl is flimsy as hell. Kinda sad that they just put the decent 180gr pressing in that deluxe box no one really needs..
-
Could've also counted as a new Jamie solo album but fuck it, this is great. 10x better than Coexist. Obviously not as good as the self-titled but I guess that's self-explanatory
