Polyvinyl Record Co.

We opted to do a few upgrades with packaging on this one, including a very nice foil stamp on the cover and the split color vinyl. We're definitely looking forward to seeing this one in person, and we hope you all are as well!

This is out now in a store near you!

Out here in the midwest, we can only imagine what it's like to grab our surfboard and catch a wave. But Memorial Day being the unofficial start of summer and all, we still wanted to get in on the fun (and take full advantage of the chance to break out some not-so-clever wordplay). Before you head out and enjoy the nice weather, make your long weekend even better by using coupon code SUMMERSAIL to save 20% off everything in the Polyvinyl E-Store (sorry, we don't sell sunscreen).

We couldn't be more thrilled to bring you Fred Thomas' latest solo album, All Are Saved. The release is officially out now, and now you can run directly towards the nearest record store to pick up a copy on clear gold vinyl / CD. If you're currently stuck to a chair or other piece of furniture, then visit our online store to get it on "cloud colored" vinyl (limited to 300), CD, tape, or MP3. You can also stream it from a variety of helpful sources here. "In many ways, All Are Saved is a writer’s record, a gift to look over every prickly line and clever turn of phrase. But above all, it’s an overwhelmingly human record, one that never strays too far from its heart." - Stereogum 8.0 review on Pitchfork! "By the time it's over, it’s hard not to feel breathless, grateful, and astonished." - Pitchfork "It sounds like therapy—a purging of long-fermented frustrations, his spoken word monologue laying atop raw swaths of textured noise." - Pitchfork

"Find Yourself" 7" is out now, and features an exclusive B-Side. Also, new track streaming now: https://soundcloud.com/jaccogardner/hypnophobia Pre-orders ship real soon!

Rad!

The Early Bird 180-gram Red vinyl is going quick! Thanks, y'all!

Like everything White Reaper does, the band’s trajectory from regional act renowned for its high-intensity shows to national touring group was accomplished at the speed of 0 to 60. “We went all over the country and grew our hair out a little bit,” says guitarist/singer Tony Esposito about the past year spent on the road with the likes of Deerhoof, Young Widows, Priests, and more. After signing to Polyvinyl in early 2014 and releasing a self-titled EP that blasts through six tracks in a breakneck 15 minutes, the Reapers — Esposito, keyboardist Ryan Hater, bassist Sam Wilkerson, and drummer Nick Wilkerson — soon began working on new material to fill out their set. Enter White Reaper Does It Again: a raucous debut full-length from a bunch of barely 20-somethings who have more fun on a Tuesday night than you do on a Saturday. Recorded in White Reaper’s hometown of Louisville, KY, with engineer Kevin Ratterman (Young Widows, Coliseum), WRDIA is a pure rock ’n’ roll adrenaline shot: vicious guitar scratches, elastic bass, sugary keyboard leads, and thudding drums that will inevitably give your heartbeat a new rhythm. Available on Early Bird Edition 180-gram Clear w/ Black Splatter and 180-Gram Clear Purple vinyl. Includes 18x24" poster!

Glad to hear it!

Also just want to extend a warm welcome to all of our new subscribers this year! The series doubled in size, and there were a few kinks that came up, but we should be golden from here on out. Crossing our fingers for no more delays at the plant, too, because that's just no fun.
