Cloudkicker has announced his newest release, titled Subsume, will be released on September 14th, 2013 The digital version of the album can be pre-ordered now from his Bandcamp for $1 or more. However, once the album is released, it will be "name your price" (no minimum) as per usual. The reasoning behind this is that Bandcamp will not allow bands to have pre-orders for less than 51 cents (Ben thought that was a "very odd number" so he set it to a dollar). If you pay the dollar (or more), you will get a remix of one of the albums tracks done by t16 (Ben's brother) that will not be available for purchase after the album is released. Subsume will not be released on CD. There will be two vinyl variants: STANDARD (TRANSPARENT RED /???): DELUXE (WHITE/TURQUOISE MIX /100): In order to prolong the time the deluxe is available, Ben has devised a plan to inflate its price initially ($45 as opposed to the usual $14 price tag of the standard release) and lower the price by $5 each successive Thursday for three weeks or until all 100 are sold. By doing this, he hopes that: a) it will ensure that "only people that really really want it will buy it" it will "postpone demand temporarily until the next price drop, giving more people more time to buy it" This plan is not set in stone, however, so if you have any ideas for him, he is welcoming them via email ([email protected]). Lastly, on a less stressful note, Ben will have two t-shirt designs correlating to Subsume's release: DESIGN 1: DESIGN 2: He is hoping these will be available September 14th, as well.
