THIS IS A PRE-ORDER! ALL ITEMS WILL SHIP ON OR AROUND APRIL 14, 2015! Paul de Jong is best known as the cofounder, cellist and resident found sound savant of the beloved, defunct collage-pop duo, the Books. Five years after that band delivered their final album, The Way Out, to much acclaim, de Jong delivers his first solo album. IF sets the Books' early albums (particularly The Lemon of Pink) as a starting point, and elevates that beguiling sense of wonder and amazement to genuinely transcendent new heights. De Jong's ability to find the musical in the mundane has always been uncanny — it is part of what made the Books so magical — and that gift is what makes IF such a marvelous curiosity, and such a true pleasure to hear. In de Jong’s world, everything around him is a potential instrument: his mind-bogglingly vast collection of forgotten private press regional folk records, spoken-word oddities of indeterminate origin unearthed in discarded thrift store piles, and various everyday household utensils that we tend to take for granted. One man’s trash is de Jong’s tool to craft yet another treasure. Featuring a handful of friends and family as musical guests, IF steers a course from joyously eccentric folk-pop to humorously inside-out jazz, resulting in a refreshing piece of outsider art with a replay value that's off the charts. PLEASE NOTE: The LIMITED SPECIAL EDITION variant is CLASSIC BLACK (edition of 200). The colored vinyl edition is TRANSPARENT AMBER. http://shop.temporaryresidence.com/trr249

I'm such a huge Marty Anderson/Okay fan, glad this is getting pressed! Will buy for sure!

Who is buying all these CD's in 2013? Press records Mark!

Can't believe I just heard about those Baribeau records, both /100, and was still able to snag both from NI. Dude is seriously underrated.

So it looks like all of my go-to's are now "sold out online." What are people using for codes these days?

For those of you getting auto-cancelled, try ordering every other day.

If you find two hook a brother up?

This may be all I'm looking for, would you like to sell me one of your copies?

Love this band.

New Bars Of Gold record "Wheels" out October 28th on Bellyache Records. Pre-order up now. http://bellyacherecords.com/store/records/bars-of-gold/

I can't believe this is still up! Just ordered a Spirited Away. Shipping was still $7 for me for some reason

I for one am totally fine waiting. I mean, I can listen to this record on my ipod whenever I want. Production delays happen and it is out of their hands, so I don't see how they owe us anything more than an explanation, an apology and a refund if we want one.

This is a pre-order for LAKE's The World Is Real (KLP246), to be released on September 17th, 2013, and shipping out of the K Mail Order Dept. one month ahead of time, on August 19th, 2013. All those who take part in this pre-order will be receiving a very special bonus hand-made CD-R that contains outtakes, demos, & unreleased tracks from the World Is Real sessions & surrounding times. http://shop.krecs.com/collections/frontpage/products/the-world-is-real-klp246

Zammuto is doing an Indiegogo campaign to fund their next record. Fully funded with 44 days left to go.

Less than 10 left of the collectors package, so if you haven't ordered yet get on it.

It is nothing like Drive.

I'm super excited to hear new EiTS! Also, they've already sold half of the colored vinyl copies, so if you think you might kick yourself later for missing out you may want to get on that now.

Good to know!

Sounds like they're going all out with the packaging, so I'm hoping the Loser Edition color goes nicely with the artwork.

You did everything right. Can't wait to hear this!

That Wampire record is great!

Missed out on the WHY? test. Bummer since it's the only one I was after. Ah well, life goes on...

Haha awesome.

Do you have the release date?
