I cannot wait for this!

These prices are turning me off to these, especially since none of them seem very limited. Requested a refund for the band versions and just waiting to figure out what I want. Don't feel any need to rush and buy anything. Maybe it will just be Spotify. GASP!

This is where i am at too. MaybeI'll just wait and see if I can snag an indie from my local on release. At least then I can save on shipping

Reading the last couple pages was way worse than the offending Taco Bell commercial in question.

And no matter how often I hear that song, no matter where or in what context, I cannot help but fuckin' groove along with it. What a great riff - end of story!

I don't see how this contradicts anything that that's been said (assuming this is in response to my post).  I don't recall asking anyone to give a fuck about any "reaction" that I, or anyone else, might have had to someone else's artistic choices.  People are still entitled to have these opinions, particularly if its something that resonates with us so emotionally like music can. 

Again, did you read the part where I said a band can do whatever they want with their music?

I quoted @Shelby, responding to his "one reasonable take" comment, which seemed evident from my quote. I don't think what I said contradicted anything that you said specifically. If anything, I think I was clarifying what I thought was the intent of one of the initial 'takes' you offered (or at least a valid take-away from it):

...If it happened to have special meaning to me, it would be a shame that this significance was now psychologically associated with shitty fast food.  If we talk of music being this life changing medium (which many of us do), then its perfectly normal for a person who feels this way to be bummed out about the choices a band makes ...

Yeah but you said it's one of two reasonable takes. It is the one reasonable take.

It's perhaps reasonable to have an adverse reaction to a song you like being used in a commercial, especially for a product you don't like.

What isn't reasonable is to think anyone else gives a fuck that you had that reaction, or expecting that a band using something they wrote to make money somehow signals a deficiency in character.

Last time I had taco bell, my wife said "yikes" when she went into the bathroom after me.

Also, maybe the guy from the infamous shitting in the pit incident recently had a run for the border? Could potentially answer some questions I've been having.

Topographies have a couple new tunes: https://topographies.bandcamp.com/album/tied-arch

Also, check out Fearing if you haven't heard them.

Lesser Care is also worth a listen.

Have you always had your collection 'flip-through' style? How do you like it? That organization method has always intrigued me...

I like this record store feeling and the possibility to always see the covers from the front ...

I just recently moved to flip through as well - I love it!

I've now done vinyl rips of the first 3 albums' collectors editions + I never said that I was brave, removed clicks & noise, processed, etc--trust me, they sound great. Check 'em out here, they're big improvements to the digital/CD! Lemme know what'cha think!

 

Amazing!

 

This album is insane. NO ONE is phoning it in here.

Yeah, I love this album from start to finish

I don't believe it will be in-store until Oct 31st.  I haven't seen any online pre-orders for it...

Canary yellow vinyl 2nd pressing of Canary Yellow is available (how meta!). First press sold out.

Maybe the "welcome sleeve" is the tour edition they're talking about here, but it's /100

I came here to suggest the same thing - i saw another photo with that cover and it was def. Orange vinyl

this is the listing..

 

20 - Test Pressings w/ Special Sleeve

50 - Orange Vinyl w/ Welcome Sleeve

 

that's the one I am wondering about.. 

Sorry, I was unclear - what I meant was that I haven't heard anything about where or when those ones will be released...

I'm glad this picked up some more steam, I knew there were more of us!
Down to Gray and Splatter (and then the Retail Orange in store on release day).

I haven't heard anything about the orange welcome, but I also assumed they'd be for a release show..

Cool, so we have 3 soft kill fans here, haha.

I grabbed the red as well, but kind of wish I'd gone pink.

Doesn't matter, these guys can do no wrong!

Canary Yellow

We are excited to present to you our sixth studio album, "Canary Yellow", produced and mixed by Rob Schnapf.

4. Rocks & Blows
5. Dibs

Instead of hiring a publicist or paying for promotion we have decided to handle the release of this album totally independent and removed from the standard music industry model. This is 100% funded and assembled in house by Soft Kill.

This deluxe first pressing features a 24pt jacket, printed & embossed inner sleeve with a two-sided insert on a myriad of color vinyl variants exclusive to this edition.

20 - Test Pressings w/ Special Sleeve

50 - Orange Vinyl w/ Welcome Sleeve

96 - Black Vinyl w/ Chicago Sleeve
96 - Black Vinyl w/ New York Sleeve
96 - Black Vinyl w/ Atlanta Sleeve

450 - Orange (Retail Exclusive)
500 - Baby Blue w/ Red Splatter

As always, manufactured locally at Cascade Record Pressing.

While this is a preorder with a release date of 10/31/22, we submitted this order and already have most of the variants in hand to avoid delays on shipping normally associated with vinyl projects in modern times. We will be shipping as many of these early as possible as a thank you for supporting our band. As a small ask, if you receive your copy before the release date, do not rip the audio and put it on YouTube or we will do dramatic, unnecessary things.

Also, vinyl costs have risen dramatically so prices have too. This was sadly unavoidable.

European customers: copies will be available over there shortly.

Thanks for that . I didn't realize - don't really follow Mark.
edit: Regardless, her version of that song is great

A little surprised she didn't remove You Missed My Heart from this record to be honest

Why?

it's on amazon.ca...

Thanks I pre-ordered from amazon UK - can always cancel if/when it pops up in canada.

Yeah, that'd be quite an experience

I sure as hell hope so. It would be stupid of them to not make it widely available.

I'm especially excited for the Rachel Davies track - if you peeps haven't listened to Esben and the Witch. . . do yourself a favour! 😍
