  1. The Rainbo re-test of Home Like NoPlace Is There is now gone. The two United re-tests are still available though!
  2. Bumperooni. One copy each of the Rainbo + United Home (TE127) re-tests are spoken for, as well as one Goodness (TE149) A/B tests. Only one more of the Rainbo and two of the United TE127 tests remain. Plenty TE149 A/B though.
  3. I should also mention that I have tests for It Never Goes Out as well!
  4. Yup! To be clear, I wouldn't call this a "remaster" per say. It's more a case of us trying to clean up some things to improve the vinyl experience. When you listen to the new pressing, the songs will pretty much sound the same, but the vinyl should be much less noisy (less surface noise, clicks + pops), especially during quiet passages. fyi - the digital version of the record remains the same! Don't buy this on iTunes and expect something different.
  5. Just going through some boxes in my closet and discovered some extra Hotelier test pressings for Home and LP1 of Goodness (only Sides A/B). First, some quick background ... I was never happy with the quality of the Home, Like NoPlace Is There vinyl so last year we decided to re-master and re-cut the vinyl lacquer. I'm not sure if anyone noticed because the changes were fairly minor, but we cleaned up some things and vinyl playback is much improved. The fifth pressing (pressed at United) is this new version, as is some of the orange variant from the 4th pressing (Rainbo). If you want to confirm which version you have, check the deadwax. The old version says "TE127 A / TE127 B" while the new versions say the following .... TE127 A-RR / TE127 B-RR (Rainbo orange variant) TE127 A2-U / TE127 B-U (United 5th pressing variant) As for Goodness, we did two rounds of test pressings to start and unfortunately I don't have any extra of those. United is weird and rarely ever sends me the quantities I ask for. Round 1 - I only received 5 copies (both LPs) and round 2 ... maybe 10-15? However, we had to re-cut Sides A / B, so there's a 3rd round of tests for these and I definitely have extra. I don't know if anyone is interested in having a Goodness test pressing for LP1 and not LP2, but they're available regardless. Anyway, send me a message if you want to throw out an offer!
  6. We extended the July 4th sale until 12am (EST) tonight. Last chance to get 15% off almost everything in the store. tinyengines.net use code july4 And don't forget to check out Sales as well for an additional 20 - 50% off select titles from the catalog ... 27 titles to be exact. The july4 code works for these releases too. If you ever wanted to catch up on our discography, now is the time!
  7. For over 8 years Tiny Engines has been on the forefront of vinyl technology and development, but not until today has a record label attempted something so innovative and groundbreaking. Mark it on your calendar, folks: we're about to break the internet. This weekend, take 15% off nearly everything in our webstore with code july4! Minds blown, right? But prepare to have your brain matter scattered throughout the universe even further when you visit our Sales section. Here you'll find nearly 30 titles that have been discounted an additional 20-50% percent! No code needed for these giant, mother-honking savings, but you can still use the july4 code for a total discount of up to 65%. C'mon guys ... this deal can't be beat! In fact, the Supreme President of the Coalition of Cool Records Labels just called to congratulate us on on this monumental achievement of "kicking some major ass." Her words, not mine. That's right - the supreme president of the CoCRL is a woman, because this is America, dammit. In conclusion, can you imagine how proud your parents will be when you tell them that their lazy, no-good sack of a son / daughter finally got a job and you plan on using your first paycheck to buy a bunch of Tiny Engines records for a what is basically the cost of 6 bags of drainage gravel? The adulation will never stop. Prepare to be loved by everyone and immortalized in the history books. You're welcome, world!
  8. A pox upon your house, sir. Actually, I don't care. As long as you didn't share with like, 100 of your friends, we're good. But if that's the case, a pox upon all your houses!
  9. Most of the time I would agree with this, but in this particular case I think the transitional elements are done with a purpose and they really add to the overall beauty of the record. Also, they're fairly pleasant (and quite brief), and the rest of the tracks feel so substantial and weighty, so for me it's a nice respite. All in all, I think you'll get used to them and eventually come to appreciate their role on the album!
  10. Downloads are going out tonight at midnight EST. Get yr pre-orders on! tnyn.gs/the-hotelier
  11. FYI - the digital version of the album is available for pre-order on Bandcamp as well ... only $5 for a limited time! You'll also get an immediate download of the song "End Results." https://yeeshband.bandcamp.com/album/confirmation-bias
  12. The first time I heard this record, Krill immediately came to mind ... and A Distant Fist Unclenching is one of my favorite records. The two bands don't necessarily sound alike, but they have a similar aesthetic.
  13. RIYL: Krill, Cloud Nothings, Les Savy Fav, Japandroids, Unwound Confirmation Bias, the sophomore LP from Chicago's Yeesh is now available for pre-order via Tiny Engines (out 7/22). You can stream a brand new song at Stereogum, which had this to say about the album... "Yeesh put out their impressively nervy debut No Problem in 2015 after a few years of gestating in the Chicago scene, and they’re following it up with Confirmation Bias, their sophomore LP and first for rock powerhouse Tiny Engines. It sees the trio tightening up their already tightly-coiled post-punk to the point of strangulation." Definitely one of my favorite additions to the 2016 Tiny Engines roster here, but kind of a tough one to pin down. Yeesh embraces elements of noise-pop, post-punk and even Dischord-styled hardcore. It's all endearingly fuzzy and rough-around-the-edges, but unmistakably catchy and intricately layered. Give the new track a spin. The band's debut LP No Problem is pretty awesome as well! Yeesh will embark on a short tour of the Midwest and East Coast beginning on May 20th. A more extensive tour of the U.S. in support of the record is being booked in August. Stay tuned for additional updates and another song premiere! May 20 - Chicago, IL @ Auxilliary Arts Center w/ Pool Holograph May 21 - Bloomington, IN @ The Void May 22 - Louisville, KY @ The Cure Lounge w/ Rarebit, Skintone May 23 - Cincinnati, OH @ The Comet w/ Pinkwash May 24 - Pittsburgh, PA @ Howlers w/ Calyx May 25 - Washington DC @ Union Arts DC w/ Polyon, Rom, Dove Lady May 26 - Philadelphia, PA @ TBA w/ Left & Right May 27 - New York, NY @ Palisades w/ Haybaby, Bueno, Sic Tic
  14. Hey Everyone. Chuck from Tiny Engines here. I'm selling some of my personal test pressings from the label to fund a little project that I'm working on. I've got one or two extra tests from (mostly) the entire catalog. This includes releases from The Hotelier (both LPs), Somos, Beach Slang, Cayetana, Restorations, Dikembe and more. There may be a couple things that I'm not willing to part with, but it doesn't hurt to ask. As I mentioned in the title, I also have a rare Spirit Desire 7-inch test from Tigers Jaw available. This is from the 2nd pressing, right after we switched vinyl manufacturing plants from Erika to Rainbo. Because we made the switch, we had to get new tests. Only FOUR were made. This is a hot item. HOT, I TELL YA! Email me at [email protected] for the fastest response. You can message me here, but I don't check the forum all that much. You can check out our discography here: http://tinyengines.limitedrun.com/discography
  15. Just an FYI - all grab bags have been shipped. Hope you all enjoy! I really tried to make them as diverse as possible ... and while I can't claim that every grab bag package is total unique, I bet it would be tough to find two people who received exactly the same thing.
  16. We upped it to 100! It's 5:41 pm EST and there are currently 18 left.
  17. Yup, it's all sold out. We actually tore through those first 50 in a few hours so I upped it to 75 packages before I went to bed last night. That was pretty quick. Anyway, I'm working assembling / packing / shipping all the orders. Once that's done, I might be able to make some more grab bags available ... depending on what's left in stock. Maybe I'll do a weirdo deal like 4 for $10 (2 LPs + 2 7-inches).
  18. But that's the awesome thing about grab bags; you can get stuff that you didn't think you wanted ... but still end up really liking! And in my opinion, that's even more true with Tiny Engines since everything we've released is great!
  19. http://tnyn.gs/1SQTyFe Hey guys. Help us make room for more records in 2016 ... and save a lot of money, too! These grab bags will feature selections from over half the Tiny Engines' catalog - about 20 releases in total - with several newer titles from 2014 and 2015 included as well. I'm going to do my best to make these packages as awesome and diverse as possible. Of course, our entire catalog is pretty awesome and diverse, which makes my job much easier. Here are the details. Let me know if you have questions or comments. Thanks! * Get FIVE randomly selected records for only $20.00 * Grab Bags include FOUR 12" LPs and ONE 7” or 10”, plus bonus goodies * Limited to 50 packages, deal ends on DEC 19 … whichever comes first * Selections will be made from over 20 titles in the Tiny Engines catalog * Does not include instant downloads: records will come with DL codes * No special requests. Grab bags are cheap and fun, so just roll with it! * Limit TWO Deals per customer: you may get duplicates, but we’ll try to avoid that as supplies allow
