    Welp, Cobalt tour cancelled.

     

    Quote

    We are disappointed to have to announce that the summer US Cobalt tour dates will have to be postponed due to a serious injury incurred on the Euro tour with Oranssi Pazuzu. At the end of the final show in Poznan, Poland, Charlie ran on the stage at the end of the Oranssi set, greeting the audience and sending a final farewell to all the fans for coming out to the shows. Someone from the audience reached out to hug him, and Charlie slipped off the stage, landing awkwardly with massive force on his left foot. He shattered his foot in multiple places and was rushed to a hospital in Poland. The Polish hospital, not having the most advanced technologies, told us that they may need to AMPUTATE Charlie’s foot!! We said Hell No, that is not an option. So we drove that night back to Berlin and admitted Charlie in a nicer German hospital. After extensive reconstructive surgery, Charlie needed to stay an extra week in Berlin and finally returned to the states last week. He will need several months of recovery time before he is even able to stand. We considered still doing the US tour with Charlie in a wheelchair, but the risk of further injury is far too high to justify this option. 
    So, for now we are sorry to announce that the current US tour dates for the summer will be canceled. The good news is that we will be postponing/rescheduling all of the dates for later this year, after Charlie is healed. So we will be playing all the same cities and venues, just at a later time. This is totally out of our hands, and we hope everyone understands and can make it out to the shows later this year. 
    Thanks!

    Oh dang. I would have expected it to be sooner than that. If I had a little extra in the funds department is offer to pick up a copy for you, but I've got some hospital bills to pay and my wife just had to get four new tires.

    Oh no worries. If they run out I'll just keep my eye on discogs. Appreciate it though.

    Well, Deafheaven – specifically Nick Steinhardt – created a custom font that's essentially a reduced version of Didot:

    Whoever did the font on that Rita album just opted to not reduce it as much, but still went through the effort to deviate it at a more minimal angle, and stack them in a 3x3 grid.  As best they could, anyway.  I kind of get the point you're trying to make, but it's also like saying that Pink Floyd don't own the rights to triangular prisms or light refraction.

    I guess since I've seen that 'overexposed' style so often since grunge typography was all the rage in the late 90's that I don't really associate it with Deafheaven. (At least not to the extent of the prism w/ PF)
