doomcreep Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Boston duo Arms And Sleepers' fifth LP will be released on 10/28 through Fake Chapter Records. Vinyl pre-order is now available. First 100 orders will be on colored vinyl (color not specified), while the rest will presumably be on standard black. A new single was released today which is a lot brighter and more upbeat than their typical ambient, trip-hop sound, but I can tell you that the album as a whole will completely appeal to fans of their entire catalog. Album art is pretty, too. Pre-order here via Big Cartel. If you pre-order before Sept. 20 you'll receive two bonus tracks in your download. Stream the title track here.

doomcreep Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 There are so many records to buy right now.... I can't keep up! No joke. I bought this so fast without even thinking then realized it was the third record I've bought in a panic since yesterday. Would have been 4th had the Friday the 13th soundtrack went up at Waxwork. BLAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedunknown Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Glad these guys are still at it. I wonder if Swim Team will be the poppiest song on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomcreep Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 They said it's inspired by J Dilla and Miami Vice haha. But I got an advance and have been listening all day. Definitely has more of a '90s instrumental hip-hop vibe throughout for sure. Lots of vocal samples. It's so chill, though. "Swim Team" is definitely the poppiest track. The rest is pretty chill and down-tempo like their older stuff, just more beat heavy I guess. Basically, if you like their old stuff, you should still like this album. It's just a tad different. It's so damn good overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highfives Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yup, had to get it. I doubt I'm in the first 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yup, had to get it. I doubt I'm in the first 100. You're golden. I placed my order about 10 minutes before the time of this post, and received personal confirmation for a colored copy. There are about 20 left at the moment.

doomcreep Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I ordered like right after the PO went up but still didn't feel confident about it haha. Messaged Mirza and he said I was well under 100. Figured you guys probably were, too. Good job, us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hideyourheart Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Nice! Where'd you find that? AAS posted it on their Facebook, and it was also on the Pirates Press site as a "record of the week". I hope the blue looks this awesome in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
