Oh wow congratulations! I have a 2 and a half year old and my wife has been cool about shows lately since “you couldn’t go to any during covid” Lol. Do your best to go to that Earthless show, I saw them a few months before quarantine in 2020 and it was amazing. 

I've seen Earthless twice and they are definitely the loudest live act I've ever seen.  Amazing live for sure.  I've never seen Elder perform and I'm really hoping to catch them on this tour.  The new album is the best yet.

Just bought tickets to the Seattle show in May, what show are you attending? Going to Mr Bungle the night before, gonna be a great weekend.

Nice!!!  May is a complicated for me with my baby girl due in the first part of the month.  If everything works out I'll see Elder in ether San Francisco for Fresno on the 15th and 16th ( or maybe both?!?). Earthless is playing in Santa Cruz on the 17th and I really want to see them too.  My wife is going to kill me🤣🤣🤣

Just got my Ten Stories 45 order and my Catch For Us The Foxes 45 preorder on the same day.  I had been expecting Ten Stories due to shipping info emails.  I was surprised to receive CFUTF as I had received no email communication on that order.  Man I love Mewithoutyou, not so much the in-house order fulfillment.  It's been hit and miss over the years.  At least it wasn't as bad as the self titled collectors fiasco.

I'm really loving the new Colour Haze album "Sacred".

It's everything I like about them and no filler.  A solid single LP release.  I'm placing it in my favorite top three along with "In Her Garden," and "She Said."

The AB reissue a few years ago for the anniversary tour (1LP) was confirmed to use a CD master as source material, so based on how different each 1LP and 2LP has sounded to my ears, I've been running on the assumption most of the 1LPs (at least the older albums) use CD masters slightly modified for the medium and the 2LPs are dedicated remasters with higher dynamic range from whatever best source is available.  

I remember getting the AB and CFUTF a few years back.  When I listen to them I thought AB sounded amazing and CFUTF sounded muddled or compressed. Major difference to my ears. I recently picked up the 45 AB but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.  I'm really hoping for a killer sounding CFUTF

Kerosene and fine steel wool.  Makes my punkrock records sound more legit. ☺️

It builds on what the band was trying to do with Omens but it’s just better. If you’re not wanting a prog heavy record you’ll likely be disappointed. You’ll still find some good grooves and riffs here but there’s a lot going on including elements of post rock and krautrock but the turns sound seamless in every track. The vocals which at times sounded a little off on Omens are also much improved. This might be my favorite record from them.

Omens took about 5+ listens to grow on me.  Reflections had been my favorite and I really liked the Gold and Silver sessions.  However I got to agree Innate Passage is my new favorite.  This album rips from start to finish.  The white European pressing sounds flawless.  Can't wait to see them on the west coast in May!!!

Check this out.  It’s taken straight from the band’s manager a few days ago.

”I don’t know what to say. I originally thought it was just the process of the vinyl production getting muddy, but I just dug back into the sales order and saw that the wrong color code was sent into production. These were supposed to be marbled clear vinyl with heavy red and blue splatters. The clear color code is #15, but #14 was entered instead. So that’s where this issue stems from. #14 is an opaque blue. I’m very very very sorry that I didn’t catch this back in March. I am in contact with the manufacturer to see what can be done.”

The blue looks a lot like the icy tracks variant.  Oh well it is what it is. The sound is what matters. 

I found this on the Vasily Kafanov website

I hope his dream come true soon

This pressing sounds SO amazing, im so pleased—I was wondering how essential it was for me to replace my old deluxe but i’m so glad I did

 

I also can’t wait for the Pale Horses reissue, I agree with @danmpie7, that album us so strong (and the deluxe for that is a little unwieldy)

Is it much of a difference in sound cut at 45 compared to the 33.3

Fire and ice variant 

 

I really liked the picture on the order page a lot more than the actual product.  Looks nothing at all what was advertised. Weird 

Cleaned and played it, has a distorted bad sound on several tracks on both sides compared to my CD. Anyone else have sound quality issues?

Mine came from Teepee!

Teepee has sent mine out!

Has anyone received their record yet? 

Thanks for the coupon code, I just ordered it! 

This is a heavy and melodious album.  Definitely one of their best. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.? I'm really happy to hear it and pleased with the effort to deliver a solid offering to the awaiting fans. 

I just saw this new Elder song and was pumped up! Pressed play and turned up the volume. I had to do a double take and check to make sure I was indeed listening to Elder when the vocals came on. It's not that they are bad, just not the same as before. Actually I feel the vocals might be a improvement as I always thought Elders vocals where the weakest link in the band. 

The music is great in this new track. The addition of keyboards worked well. The song established a nice groove that builds over time and makes some cool movements. I think it's going to be a great album.

I thought he was singing Elvis the whole time. 

I took your survey and I wish you well. I'm sorry for all the butthurt retards on this site. 

I just placed an order for the glow in the dark lp!

The following is from an email I received today.

Some of you have walked with us for almost 2 decades. You’ve been there through multiple seasons of life. Supported me. Sang with me. Stood with me through love, loss, conflict, and doubt. You’ve seen me at my best and maybe at my not-so-best. Still, throughout it all you’ve almost always been nothing but gracious and kind.

Today I trust and hope that you will also be willing to walk with me back into faith. I’ve got to warn you - it’s different. It’s not the same. It never is. It’s not supposed to be. But it’s honest, it’s real, and it’s willing… willing to see the universe through new eyes, and follow gratitude all the way back to God. I hope you’ll join me. It’s bound to be a hot mess, and tons of fun. But It certainly wouldn’t be the same without you.

Thanks again and much love.

Peopled With Dreams (Glow In The Dark LP)

I think that the only other place that cuts lacquers is in Japan. Here's a business opportunity for the right person. 

I purchased "Learning To Breathe" and "New Way To Be Human". They both sound great. I saw Switchfoot in November and they are still amazing live. They played through out there catalog and are still just as big as ever. The Theater was sold out.
