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

The person who wrote that does the indiecast podcast which is a group of 20 year olds who think  they know about indie/ emo music, but when they talk about bands it sounds like the most tame takes coming through a Gen Z filter. It's very unfortunate that that's the next generation of music fans/ criticism in a nutshell.

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...)

Isn't that cute? an extra belly button
You need to put your pants back on, honey

Don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't want, don't want, don't want, don't want
Don't want no short short man

What in the world is that thing?
Do you need some tweezers to put that little thing away?
That has got to be
The smallest rrr- I've ever seen, in my whole life
Get the- outta here

 

this reads like a Panic! At the Disco verse

maybe time to say Goobye and Good Riddance to IVC?

Kind of a bummer considering I thought this could mean a new album.  Maybe it’s just a first step.  

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

A raise from the 600 to 10k is pending with government approval. Nobody thinks 600 was a good idea

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...

Just wait til all sellers receive a 1099-k this year. 

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!

Good, cuz Dreamer is awesome….and yeah, the prices on these are getting ridiculous.  If you’re going to say it’s deluxe, make it actually deluxe.  Don’t charge deluxe and give us basic.  Makes you feel cheated.

at the end of the day, I’m glad they’re doing it and AOTWK is one of my favs, but it’s tough when you pay $40 for a sleeve and single LP with an extra sheet with artwork on one side and a write up on the other side, that’s not really “deluxe”…

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...

Man, now this is taking me back to my high-school days. Ignorant question here: why skip over Dreamer? Doesn't look like it's ever been pressed either?

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

I’m not a huge fan of prayer remembered and its placement as track 2 is kinda odd. I also wish the album was longer but overall I’m enjoying it.  

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

That satellite years on the bottom left better be getting an online release or I’m gonna be begging for someone going to get me one

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