MATH POP time. Which I think just means "just bit emo/indie with some fancy, angular guitar work now and again' but think it sort of fits the bill. Is it the BEST? No idea! I'm just keeping the thread alive!

A little shameless self-promotion here. I joined a math rock band 6 months ago and we just released our new album. We did a pretty limited vinyl run if anyone is interested.
 
We've been described as being "Tera Melos for stoners" by Fecking Bahamas.

Cool breakdown of how the album came to be via Keith Goodwin- 
So proud of this record I made with @anthonygreen666 Grateful for him giving me a shot at producing for him. Anthony’s lyrical and vocal ability is unmatched. It started out as a postal service type thing for fun when lockdown happened. I was emailing music back and forth with Anthony and @timothyjohnarnold. After we had a bunch of songs written we went and stayed at the beach for a week and honed them in together with @anayst adding her beautiful electric guitar. I took those tracks home and brought them over to the shed and @robdevious blessed the tracks with his nasty keys and spacey pedal steel. After that my good friend @gmervine added some unreal horn arrangements and crunchy rhythm guitars. The @wpobrass boys @tilted.head @koofibi and Adam Hershberger killed the horns. Then finally the legendary @willyipmusic mixed and mastered taking it to the next level. Couldn’t be more proud.

This is one of the dumbest attempts at trolling I've ever seen 😂 Zero has a prodigy.

Oh shit, that’s rad.  Really wish someone would’ve posted that in the thread 4 hours earlier.

It's on Spotify now. 

I wish I had taken the time to document this with some photos, but this is the gist of it..
 Get your warped "no better option" record out, and nicely cleaned. No dust!!!! Find a completely smooth and flat surface (Glass cutting board is ideal) but it could be any large, flat, surface (cleaned). <--- this is your bottom layer Next, get your oven going on preheat baby!! Set it AS LOW AS IT GOES, I think mine went to 200 minimum. Assuming you don't have a perfectly smooth cuttin' board, lay down a large uniform surface (i Used a plain inner-sleeve cut to be 1-ply) on your "bottom layer". Align your record over your base surface and 'smoothing' layer as outlined in steps 2 and 4. Now, top layers! add another perfectly smooth mid layer on top of your record, or another glass cutting board type thing if you have it ( I did not ). Now we need to weight this puppy up, as UNIFORMLY as possible. I had some really large coffee table books that fully covered the records surface area. Next add a few more books or other things on top until you have ~10lbs of weight I would say. Now, pop your vinyl and home goods sandwich into your oven, and let the magic happen! I think I left it in for only a couple minutes (2-3?), once the vinyl starts to soften it will quickly flatten. DO NOT OVERDO IT! You do not want to crush or distort the grooves in any way. Less is more. Take it out of the oven and let it completely cool before removing the weight from the top of the stack (10+ mins). Pop the weight off the top, and have a look! Hopefully you have a close to flat record And of course, I assume no responsibility for any damaged or ruined records, house fires, etc.
But it did really do wonders for two of mine.

Cheers and good luck!

Hopefully by Friday according to the IG post - https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjYJi_Ldmp/

I expect all records I buy to look 15% like the mock up and am genuinely surprised when they actually do. The only thing that pisses me off about buying records in the year of our lord 2022 is the insanely high prices for single disc releases. Fuckin' inflation. 

Just list them as colored vinyl and be done with it. Record collectors are irrational morons.

If it's not on sale yet I would just be upfront about what happened when you sell them. Just say, "Hey, these came out with some transition colors, here is a sample of what you may get." Just be upfront about it and it shouldn't be an issue.

For the two of us that care, this album is back up for preorder.
