drds89 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 No fancy thread - popped up on twitter about an hour ago. 2 tracks and some remixes on 'colored' vinyl. I haven't listened to the tracks yet. $10 shipped is good. My 7" bin is running out of room and been trying to keep these to a minimum except the 4 or 5 I've been looking for. http://westernvinyl.com/shop/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Not really a big 7" fan but I may jump on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Band is criminally underrated. If this will be on an album down the road, I'm going to have to pass. (Even though $10 PPD for a 7" isn't bad at all, these days.) I just see no point in spending that amount when the album itself will probably be $25 PPD or so. I love Balmorhea immensely, but I've been working at pruning down my 7" collection and keeping it shallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillused Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 It's nice to see the same folks in different threads for bands that I like. I feel like everyone that posts in the Instrumental thread likes the some of the same bands I do. With that being said I am ordering this. Awesome band.

RadDonut Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Derek I have been trying the same thing lately. I buy 7"s and never play them or even see them. Money not well spent for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 NO DATE FOR THE CALENDAR!!!! I HATE THIS SO MUCH!!! Yeah, that's frustrating... but I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of it in the future. POs for "sometime in a few months" seem to be more and more common. What I'm curious to know is if the band has a new album in store for 2014. Their previous releases have been 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012. They are machines, and it seems like they don't go longer than 2 years between albums... Derek I have been trying the same thing lately. I buy 7"s and never play them or even see them. Money not well spent for me. Yeah, exactly. I've been selling anything that I own on a 12" or full album. I do get the collector bug from time to time, but it's very hard for me to justify owning 7"s when they cost as much as they do. The b-sides / remixes / whatever are something that I very rarely go out of my way to revisit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 i was hardcore into 7"s. i thought they were so cute and i have a pretty decent collection i need to get rid of. then i became lazy and played them less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Unless I'm mistaken, it's sounding like the self-titled debut (EP) will be seeing the vinyl treatment in October, too. Great news all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Fun fact: I confirmed with the band that the two songs on this 7" will not appear on any full length. They're exclusive to this release. Not sure what color the vinyl is, but it's limited to 1,000. Looks like I'm bending my rule on 7"s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was set to do some justification about my impulsive, bleeding heart to support the band getting the upper hand on the old brain (yet again), or 'the track is absolutely sublime -- which it is and my daughter said it doesn't sound like them but she really liked it a lot -- or 'it's only $10, I bring my lunch to work every day'..yada yada... Can't wait to hear the rest of the tracks and eager to see if there is any shift in their sound on the LP, or if this was just a fun little fling they had.

Can't wait to hear the rest of the tracks and eager to see if there is any shift in their sound on the LP, or if this was just a fun little fling they had. My hunch is that it's a bit of a fun experiment for them. To me, the song feels more ambient than their prior work... but not in a bad way at all. They branched out and incorporated electronics on Stranger, so maybe they'll continue to challenge themselves and expand their sound palette with the new album? It's possible. But even if they committed to the sound of Heir for a full length, I'd have zero complaints whatsoever. They've got such a strong reputation going with their current discography that I can't imagine they'd steer us wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 They have demonstrated with Heir I that they can do Ambient and probably quite well imho, such a great track. I wasn't so sure about Sigur Ros with Valtari, but I have come to love that album and there are a plenty of vocals, but the ambient feel the first couple of passes was a bit of a shock to my ears. batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news all around. As in this one, http://www.discogs.com/Balmorhea-Balmorhea/release/1344591 ? (Sorry, just clarifying as you mentioned EP). If so, I'm so in for that! Absolutely adore that record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratbrain Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 just heard from Western Vinyl that they got their stock today and found out they have to repress due to a manufacturing error. bummer, but on the upside they said it should only be a few more weeks.

Burkazoid Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Song premiere: Attesa 2014 version and also a Nils Frahm rework! http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/av/2014/09/song-premiere-balmorheanils-frahm---attesa-2014-ve.html Just hit the pre-order button on Amazon.co.uk. So this means the whole album is re-recorded? I'm not certain that I love the idea since I'm so used to the original and would love to have that on vinyl, but I'm also pretty damn excited to hear the new versions.
