Anyone have any experience with We Were Never Being Boring Collective? I received my order today of Be Forest's Knocturne and it was the black vinyl instead of the "transparent with smoke" I ordered. Now they're sold out so not sure if I can even get it replaced!

Same here, shot them an email last night. Will see how it plays out, I've not ordered vinyl from WWNBB before.

Since this has a somewhat happy ending, hold your black album up to the light, and you see it's translucent charcoal (not clear as described) with black veins.

The other check is there are three overlapping white circles on the lower left corner of the jacket.  Since the records were sealed from the plant they decided to use a key instead of stickers on the shrink wrap. There is a little white dot next one: the top would be the /100 the middle is this one /200 (where my dot is) and the bottom one would be the black /500. 

So, it's the not uncommon situation where what the pressing plant delivered was not was the label ordered...and as I was chastised here YEARS ago for suggesting that vinyl plants should actually produce what they agree to, they get to deliver whatever comes out of the hopper. The label / consumer just sucks it up.

Now, to clean it and play it :)

(yes, I'm a little bummed because I like Clear vinyl, but if it sounds ok, this is part of The Hobby)

This is going to make some people very happy. OG /500 going for stupid money for too long.

This was just released Friday.  Lots of different types of gaze here.  Starts off punishingly heavy then mellows out about 4 songs in.  It’s a long album but so good.

can't stop listening to it from yesterday, unfortunately no news about an eventual vinyl pressing

This is really good stuff! Didn't know the band at all and now I'm digging into their older stuff.

Right on glad you guys dig.  Thanks to Kevin Dye from Gates for posting on IG lol.  Apparently he helped produce & play live.

Still waiting on a new release from them. Bloom & Breathe is one of my favorite releases and been waiting for them to follow up. They've been pretty quiet the past year.

Westkust s/t is out and it is an absolute killer. I've been listening to it non-stop.

Right now the pressing is:

Bandcamp - https://westkust.bandcamp.com/

Black - Unlimited 

White - 200

 

RFC - http://www.runforcoverrecords.com/products/633795-westkust-s-t

Green 200

Purple 800

 

I havn't ordered yet, but I was leaning towards the purple because it matches the cover the best, and the green looks meh, but I'm torn on purp and white.

This is pretty good stuff.  Reminds me of a female-fronted Tennis System.  I like the more punk sounding gaze like this.

New Taffy coming in July. No PO yet from AC30 but listen to new song & LP info:

Thanks for linkage, this went under my radar. I'm liking the single, can't wait to hear the whole thing and then figure the postage beating from AC30 or hopefully Norman (or amazon.uk) gets some per usual.

In case Saint Marie followers missed it - I got word through email since I don't have time to  check all the social media anymore - Wyatt is pressing 3 albums, the one I'm most excited about is Secret Shine. EP's "Elemental" and "Beyond Sea And Sky" are going to vinyl for the first time ever. 3 tracks per EP = perfect setup for this. I know there are some Secret Shine fans here, and these EPs are fantastic. Maybe not GTG tier, but Saint Marie delivered singles and GTG for us already :)
