beautiful, may a Frames repress be on the horizon as well

Haven't seen ML Buch mentioned on here yet so figured I'd start a thread. Flew under the radar for a while but finally getting some buzz (sold out US/EU/UK shows) and a vinyl edition from 15 Love (Denmark). Has some established UK distro (Rough Trade, Boomkat), and some US distros are starting to put it up as well (for now, just LA's In Sheep's Clothing). Scratches that classic guitar-driven 4AD dreampop itch but also equally impressive for the use of electronic elements. Killer vocalist as well! I've linked to the distros above, will also leave the Bandcamp page for a quick and easy streaming option: https://mlbuch.bandcamp.com/album/suntub

tbf Eli's take in the article re: Whirr is anything but tame (that they sound like the sum of their influences and nothing more, no staying power)

oh man, i need Colma. assuming it'll never get an official release...

a masterclass on whatnot to do when introducing yourself to an established digital community!

excited for the second half the double album, the Strangeness of Ranger (anybody? no? sorry heh...)

times like these i am grateful that Buckethead pikes aren't on vinyl...

this reads like a Panic! At the Disco verse

maybe time to say Goobye and Good Riddance to IVC?

yeah very odd, especially since it's a cut from the HIFTBSO era...

i've been chasing a lot of 80s/90s stuff that is easier to get on tape (and cheaper haha) but there are enough decent new releases and lots of "needed that" reissues that keep me in the vinyl game somewhat. prices and cost of living issues in general have me passing on a lot of non-essentials and i'm kind of grateful for that in a weird way? dunno. helps me to focus on what i really want to listen to.

these have been up for a couple weeks now, doesn't seem like a very limited restock at all knowing how wild Circa fans go for merch.

this album is really good btw, first one that's really drawn me in since Nocturne

oh man huge news. looks like it's called the "Red Tape Reduction Act" and passed the House in July. can't find any updates since then...

i'm guessing the ebay/depop/poshmark et al resale lobby efforts are getting nowhere inre: raising the minimum back up a bit? looks like it's be an ugly tax season for lots of ordinary americans...

had a mini heart attack seeing my PTH band variant arrive with two A/B label stickers. turns out all 4 sides are there music-wise though anyone else have this "issue?"

a very sophomoric question, truth in advertising i guess!

i would throw myself into the sea!

band exclusive variants i believe

both do come with bonus tracks fwiw, but totally agreed on the pricing. i grabbed the HTD exclusives with the extras because these albums mean a lot to me (and bc their store didn't charge sales tax so it was essentially the same price as the SS exclusives) but at these price points i'd be passing on tons of T&N/SS albums that i'd buy $10 cheaper...

UO did allude to there being "one more HTD record left to do" so i'm sure it happens eventually

fwiw solid state / unoriginal have been pricing single/double LP legacy reissues at $35/40 for a few years now. sucks but also not entirely new

lucky you bought two, you can play the good copy and turn the bad copy into one of those cute vinyl wall clocks you see all over etsy these days

yeah that's a huge flex tbh, putting an instrumental as track 2 on a short album. i find myself skipping it, the Kisses single, and the 7 minute song that just repeats the same synth arp and thinking of it as a great EP

the way UO is talking rn is that everything currently blurred is a non-Fest pressing, i.e. will be sold online.
