One of those rare records that really breaks conventions for bedroom indie-pop-esque stuff. I originally felt it wasn't quite my cup of tea as well, but I keep thinking about listening to it again so something's got me hooked. It's very well made regardless.

Ahhhh exciting! Been a while, hope the LP goes up for preorder (relatively) soon

Happy that the least rare variant is my favourite, means I won't have to stress about it selling out too quick!

Really excited for this press. Been listening to the album in anticipation - it's gonna be gooood.

As someone who (regrettably) slept on the last TRNA vinyl press from Elusive Sound, this one's a guaranteed buy. Very excited to see what wild-ass variants they'll come up for this one.

Ooooh HMV has a pinwheel. I love pinwheels. Will pick that up.

Picked up the /100 marble earlier this morning. Conversion rates from CAN to GBP are pretty great so it was affordable. If any really cool variants go up from PNR (which they usually do) I might get one of those too, but right now I'm satisfied.

Counterparts can do no wrong.

So, since the pressing number of the indie exclusive went up so much, I held off buying from overseas and am going to wait until any end up in the UK. Does anyone know if stores like Banquet will get any? I would hope so.

Any other places the indie is going up? I want to ship it to the UK but Bullmoose is US only. I don't mind shipping overseas as long as the place allows me to, haha.

Stage 5 is a complete masterpiece and perhaps the climax of the set. The tearing, pulsing noise driving the muddied jumbled mess of past memories... it is incredibly evocative and disturbing at once.

Gonna take a long time to digest this. I will need to go back and listen to the prior 4 parts in order, so I can fully comprehend the context of this one. Especially want to hear 4 and 5 back-to-back.

Part 6, I think, will be either mostly silence or mostly crackling noise, perhaps ambience resembling the "Take care. It's a desert out there..." CD. It's going to be one hell of a way to end the project. One of the greatest projects in modern memory, I think.

In lighter thoughts, I hope they make an outer box to buy for the people who have managed to accrue all parts on vinyl. I would love something encapsulating like that. I have all 5 parts on blue and will not miss part 6.

I don't know if this is just a one-off or not, but Seahaven is playing some shows with Man Overboard in November/December.

I'm hoping it means that we might be getting more from the band someday. I really hope so. Reverie Lagoon is such a special record to me.

/100 acquired. Was expecting an early drop. It was pretty easy to get it from the email the mailing list sent, very happy! 

I haven't heard anything yet and I already know it's going to slay. Got that Surgical Steel ready.

Boomkat pulling through reliably and efficiently. Not gonna go on about it any more, yall know how it goes. Sounds great, very thankful.

Hope you ordered because its sold out now.

Of course. Thank god for Boomkat.

Well. At least I can get a copy. No thanks to OESB fucking me over, lol.

So goddamn in for this. There's going to be some /100 super crazy variant for this record and I am going to do everything in my power to get it. Cannot goddamn wait.

Fffffffuuuuck. Those look absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to see some full-body pics of the /100 and /300 deluxes.

No normal repress. I emailed and they said this is the only planned version at this time. Which is stupid, because I'm have no need for an ugly wall flag.

Whaat? That's absolutely ridiculous of them if so. I'm still not getting the bundle so perhaps there will be an even longer wait for a PROPER repress of this.

Damn right I'm in for this. Will be waiting for normal preorders (as the screenprint/flag isn't worth that much money) but I'm excited it's finally getting a repress.

That looks like a heavy duty Stoughton tip on jacket too. Pay $20 more for a much thinner wide spine single pocket jacket with a fucking piece of paper insert and ugly variant because it's more limited... Jack White should seriously feel shitty about ripping people off that way. You'd think him of all people would at least try to not make it so obvious he didn't start up a pressing plant to improve the industry but to milk it even more.

Personally, I think the alt cover is gorgeous and the variant is too - however I completely agree on the front re: Jack White. Not a fan of his business practices at ALL.

(edited, a friend managed to get me one of the /1000s)

New single is great. Hope the preorder goes up closer to release date so I don't have to spend money on it now... but knowing the way hype works re: singles, it's probably going to go up soon. Mmmmight not preorder it, but looking forward to hearing nonetheless.

Way too expensive but I did end up dropping the money for the /100 deluxe. Just really love everything about the presentation... bound to be an amazing album

I'm not listening until I get the vinyl in but everything about this is beautiful so far. The artwork, the track names... it's falling apart. Cannot wait to get it in.

maybe a tour variant? 

Would be sick! Seeing them next week, I'll check.
