I would be surprised if they do that again. I'd still love one for Inlet

Hi all, First off, the band sincerely appreciates all of the generous support and kind words we've received after releasing Inlet. We're not the best at responding, but it means a lot. So thanks again, from all of us! Over the last few months, we've successfully navigated through some licensing stuff allowing us to re-release updated versions of Electra 2000, and You'd Prefer An Astronaut on vinyl. Our plan involves re-mastering and cutting higher quality pressings of these two records. We'll post another update once we iron out all of the details on release dates, label, etc... Since we've seen some inflated prices on the secondary market for our older records, we wanted to let people know as soon as possible. If folks don't mind waiting a little longer, we'll be able to produce a higher quality pressing that we have control over, and are proud of. We'll also have more copies of our Downward is Heavenward re-issue available in the near future as well. We hope you all are healthy and well, and 2021 turns out to be a little easier for everyone. Take care. -Tim

Yeah, there is definitely meaning behind their titles, if not solely in an "inside joke" kind of way.  One of the top Youtube comments for the new song is something akin to "the Mogwai Random Song Name Generator strikes again!" but I don't think that's ever been the case.
 
It's actually so good.  I think it's my favorite verse-chorus-verse-chorus song they've done, with vocals.  The way the verses are sung makes me think of CODY and I'm all about that.  Really hits me as a summation of their classic sound merged with the newer direction they've been taking.

The new song rules. I love how the first 25 seconds tease some standard Gumbo-core, and then they launch into a Mogwai pop song. Super excited for new Mogwai.

daaaaammmm, I need that. My wallet is not ready though

Message the MO drummer.

This record being pressed in any color other than Purple is Blasphemous

^ this. It's why I still don't own SD. Fuck $50 for this...

I just want the 3 song EP that followed this. That shit rips.

Who said anything about having to swap? I’m all for this edition, especially since it’ll have a new master for vinyl.  But anytime I buy a remaster, I also make it a point to hold onto my OG just in case there were wonky decisions made in the studio.
 
Packaging sounds so killer on this thing.  I hope it’s not painfully limited.

This guy’s website sucks. I hope he gets a bad grade,

Toss the PVC sleeve and use a polyethylene bag.

Over time, the PVC sleeve outgasses, and will destroy the surface of your record.

$80 isn’t that unusual for 2 dolls.

Not to be a party pooper but that looks like the ugliest vomit that ever came out of me when I was 14.

The Pale Horses deluxe was great in concept, but that jacket turned out to be a complete mess. I would much prefer to have that in an actual box with some cool art inside instead of the floppy, prone to falling apart and tearing, jacket that they released.
