Not vinyl, but my new label BLUDHONEY is opening with the release of Disasterpeace's "Hyper Light Drifter" soundtrack on a double cassette bundle limited to 150 tomorrow at 12PM EST on bandcamp.

Yup - Delve is the same guy making the beats on the "Soft" tape which is also awesome. I actually don't work with Audio Geography - these shells are done by a single dedicated paint guy that we've been working with since we started. The black / silver swirl variant sold out, but there are still some copies of the sky blue / clear split available on our Bandcamp! Delve - "Bono" Music Video:

That Milk Explosion tape looks fantastic, can't wait to get mine in!! Everybody buy this tape. Seriously, it's so fucking good - give it a listen. We just put out another album called "Headspace" by the same guy on Granite Tapes. He's crazy talented, and seems to know just what to do with female vocals on the Soft project. I might also add that butterscotch tapes were a perfect choice <3

Delve - "Headspace" is on sale now! 25 hand-dipped sky blue / clear cassettes 10 hand-dipped black / metallic silver swirl cassettes Boston's Delve makes his label debut on Granite Tapes with "Headspace", eight tracks of syrupy electronica. Ethereal synths and glitchy drum patterns cut through mangled loops of tape hiss and muffled dialogue throughout. "Headspace" features tragic and meditative chord progressions that anchor its canvas of dreamy ambience with emotional weight. Delve balances spacious, airy textures with sputtering, kaleidoscopic noise, resulting in a record that effectively contrasts crystal clarity with faded grime. "Headspace" could serve as the soundtrack to a fast-forwarded, cloudy blue sky. ambient / vaporwave / electronic / experimental / synth BUY: https://granitetapes.bandcamp.com/album/headspace

grabbed that HKE with quickness. that thing flew off the shelves

Pleasure Gap - "Cream Wave" is on sale now! BUY: https://granitetapes.bandcamp.com/album/cream-wave

Pleasure Gap - "Cream Wave" Available tomorrow (Friday, June 8) at 12PM EST on Bandcamp. Limited to 20 hand-dipped cream swirl and 10 strawberry cream swirl cassette tapes. Garage rock / psychedelia / indie folk from Manchester, NH. "Nu Genes" Music Video

It's not the most exciting variant, surely. But the price is fair and for some reason the artwork does look slightly better to me with the black contrast. I agree that it'll sell out very, very quickly, so if you're interested I'd grab it now. Tough decision for me, since I'm a VMP member but also have a Newbury Comics minutes away from where I work. Even when the stuff sells out on the website I've never had issues walking in on the release day and saving myself the shipping. The "merch update" thing on the official page, I think, is definitely a shirt, pins, stickers, posters - that sort of thing. There's no way it's a different vinyl color or edition. The item you order is literally called "standard edition" and includes an image of black wax.

Newbury Comics variant with alternate cover / 1000. twice as limited as the red VMP, but no color is listed. presumably black wax. Link: https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/pre-orders/products/the_avalanches-wildflower_exclusive_2_lp?variant=20710193542

can't choose between purple and blue... and I'm also curious if there will be a tour exclusive version considering I'm catching them in Pawtucket RI in July

So we're doing a giveaway to celebrate our opening! We have three tapes up for grabs - one on Facebook, another on Twitter, and a third on Instagram. We're giving away a campfire orange copy of Bedfellows - "The Happy Hunting Grounds", an opaque magenta copy of Illfigure - "Mindful But Inactive" and a third mystery tape that is as of yet UNRELEASED and unannounced!

here's what our packaging looks like! tapes are hand numbered, wrapped in wax-sealed parchment and include New England maple candy and hand-written thank-you doodles. extra time and effort, but we think it's well worth it also, the "Happy Hunting Grounds" dark blue "Heaven" variant has one tape left in stock! last call!!

Granite Tapes, my indie cassette label from New Hampshire, is now open! We release bedroom pop, indie rock, electronic and hip hop from the New England area on limited runs of cassette tapes with alternate color variants. We've done everything to create the highest quality package possible - our tapes are professionally dubbed in real-time on chrome plus tape, housed by custom color shells featuring full-color labels with J-cards and clear cases. We individually hand-number each tape, wrap them in parchment paper and seal them in wax. We even toss in some New England real maple hard candy with each order. We already have quite a few releases lined up for the coming months, but our first is a fantastic local indie rock / folk album: Badfellows - The Happy Hunting Grounds Limited to 25 copies on campfire orange shells. "Heaven" Edition, limited to 10 copies on dark blue shells. [ON SALE NOW! Stream / Purchase via Bandcamp] Recommended FFO: Arcade Fire, Father John Misty ------------------------------------------------------- We'll be announcing our next release this week! It's a stupidly amazing, instrumentally focused experimental hip hop album that I'd recommend fans of Madlib and J Dilla to check out. Thanks for your time / support.

could be a double 10"?

I just buckled and ordered The Invitation. the movie, and score, are fucking amazing. just had to grab it for some of those sparse ambient pieces

US, and in the support chat they refunded me the difference

I got mine yesterday, it's beautiful, no damage whatsoever and it sounds incredible

Salem, NH - and I swung by Newbury after out of curiosity, but I already had everything I wanted!

quite the haul. was at Bullmoose at 3 am, shamefully. worth it

so I just missed out on the Interview 2016 tape while I was at work, sadly. I would love to buy it off someone or trade for it, here's my collection: https://www.discogs.com/user/mellowtooth/collection?header=1

I'm sure it will go up on the IDIB store and probably be super cheap and signed because this label is amazing

grabbed that ty segall, I got the "inventory issues" thing at first too, but managed to get through a bit later. the press looks insanely gorgeous. and that black / red split Floating Coffin looks great, but I already have the clear / red splatter one
