If you haven’t, give his first one - Terrified - a try. It’s also really really good. He’s stupid talented.

Had never heard of that, but will definitely look out for it.

Yeah, we had a good time with that one too.  I like how the aliens were kind of goofy and then the alien-on-the-roof shows up and both my wife and I were both like "nope. nope,nope,nope" great designs on some of them.

 

We want and caught a 10PM of When Evil Lurks last night (follow up from Demián Rugna who of course did Terrified) - not as scary as Terrified but easily twice as brutal.  Just an amazing and devastating watch, definitely catch it on the big screen if you can.

Watched When Evil Lurks yesterday. Had never heard of it and didn’t know what to expect. Looked up movie times to catch something, saw that it was horror, and went for it without watching the trailer or anything. 
the movie was freaking great! Really intense in some scenes and great story. Love how it ended too

This Syd Barrett box is my first vault purchase. I know this is a preorder but when can I expect these to ship? 

Sometime in September. Each vault is on a quarterly basis, every 3 months. So gets announced in July, you have the whole month to sign up. Second month for production and whatnot. Third month is when it should start shipping, usually mid to late month. And the new package would get announced in October 

Deafheaven 10yrs gone 

Bandcamp 

B6AN-HSYJ

There’s no way they repress this box. Everything already has standalone releases and in multiple variants. 
It’s gotta be merch

I listened to the single like 10 times on repeat on my way to work and I noticed a couple of things.  First, it loops back into itself pretty well, so that's fun.  But more importantly, the way it starts and ends make me think it not only comes directly out of a track that proceeds it, but builds into the following track, most likely seamlessly.  

If you listen to the bongos/congas right at the end, they start to do a double time thing and pick up in speed and intensity, like a short build into the next track.   What I'm hoping is they carved out a little 3 minute breather that was a nice, solid tune they could carve off as a lead-in single.

I know they've done abrupt cuts, intros, and outros on other albums, so I could be way off, but that's what I'm hoping; banger>3 minute tune>banger

I thought the same thing too thag it’s going to lead into something a bit more upbeat and banging. Especially that it picks up right at the end and just abruptly cuts off. Let’s hope we’re right. 

We have tour dates!!!!

After hearing the studio cut, I’m super pumped.  I mean, I was before, but the voltabox phone video didn’t have the best audio. 
 

Hoping for a preorder tomorrow with the official single release.

Yeah I skipped out on the video of the box. Didn’t want that to be my first listen. The YouTube version and now official upload are great. Stoked on the new music and can’t wait to hear the rest 

It’s fucking happening! Damn I’m so stoked!! The new song is absolutely great (but they could never do any wrong in my opinion) cannot wait for the full album and potential tour dates

I'll echo the Landscape Tantrums. I was surprised at how good it sounds! Think I got it for like $20

Same with Tremulant. All 3 were glow in the dark and they sound really good. They did a great job with them

Anyone who has the GITD Landscape Tantrums wanna comment on sound quality.  

I have it. 
It actually sounds really good. I don’t have the most badass setup or super keen ears or whatnot, but it sounded great to me. Super clean, no pops or stupid distortion like other glow records I’ve heard. I played the black copy right after and honestly to me they sounded the same. 
same with the glow copy of Frances. Sounded really good. Unlike the garbage that is the older glow Frances. Night and day between the two

Isn't De-Loused pressed through the same plant? My 1st replacement by them sounded identical, I haven't opened the 2nd one yet, was just planning on selling them both and funding the clouds hill one tbh

I think it might be pressed by the same place. It didn’t specify anything different like all the others. There was a sticker on all the other records stating where it was pressed and how many numbers. 
but in all honesty, this new one I got sounds a whole lot better than the first copy I got. I never got a replacement either, just left it as is.

VMP finally came in

I don't even feel like listening to these records right now but feel obliged to check the quality

I got the entire bundle in last week. I listened to deloused right away and it sounded sooo much better than the first round. I have since listened to Frances and Octahedron and I think they sound great. Very quiet pressings, good sound all the way through. I’d say oh pretty much on par with the clouds hill versions

Fetching ridiculous prices on eBay already. 

Assholes. I totally forgot to set an alarm to be up that early..

I got a Mondo exclusive, but gas prices are calling me dumb for spending $50 on this. Such is life. 

Wanna get those $50 back?

Thanks! Finally found an OK deal on Cizaña De Los Amores on ebay a few weeks back, so I went for it! 

Nice!! That’s a pretty expensive record too. 
now time to chase down all the variants too 😉

Not 100% Mars Volta related, but really psyched that I finished up my Omar solo vinyl discography recently! https://www.instagram.com/p/CasoqPupIsq/ 

Congrats! What was the last record you needed?

They also seem to be teasing The Darjeeling Limited and Grand Budapest. Hopefully soundtracks, and not posters. 

Turned out to just be posters…. 
was really hoping for soundtracks

Fuck, another version?? Starting to lose track of all these

gee thanks CH for fuckin over those of us who bought the box set lol

Seriously! The only exclusives now are the book and 2 singles. Everything else has been released apart already, and the box set isn’t even colored. Still an awesome box set, but they definitely should’ve waited a while to release individual colored presses and not have it all done within the same year.

and i'll reiterate from earlier--it doesn't come in a jacket, it comes in a printed inner sleeve lol

Clouds Hill posted a video on IG showing the retail version of this, and it actually comes in a normal jacket now with paper inner sleeve. Instead of just a printed sleeve like the box set

Damn, I wonder if I can call a Zia store when it actually becomes in stock to order...

You might be able to. They’re usually pretty chill about that sort of stuff. Or if they get extras I wouldn’t mind helping you out if you can’t get your hands on one

And if it follows all the others, a cheaper color variant will be released to stores.

Look like you were right, there’s a clear version coming soon. https://www.hhv.de/shop/en/item/mars-volta-the-landscape-tantrums-the-unfinished-original-recordings-of-de-loused-in-the-comatorium-indie-retail-exclusive-edition-881137?fbclid=IwAR3wYdwrexlI5tWW0GzuqNFsYhtHquSpf2QxVMq_Dy8I5e3tjqYbmXUXHUY

I ordered a copy from here. 

Really? Damn. Ever since I saw the link it’s never had the option to buy. Zia is my local store, so I’m sure they’ll get a few copies. They had a few of the gold and green deloused on release date
