drds89 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I posted on their FB last week about Blossom getting the wax treatment, they said they would do another cassette run (like 10 or 25 for the first two). Commented I picked up both flavors and someone commented 'more flavors' So then I see , as stated above, instead of /100 and /200 now /300 of 4 variants. I wanted to change my Black vinyl/White Jacket to Black vinyl/Pink Jacket so I emailed Middle-man and Shawn replied quickly, saying no problem with the change - and they would be shipping next week. Got shipping notification last night. I don't think I'm going to get all 4 variants and I really just wanted one, but couldn't make up my mind -- so there's a spare that will make a nice gift or something in the future. Also bugged him about pressing Blossom if the copyrights and all that stuff (and band agreeable) weren't too much hassle. But I still want a homemade cassette, too.

jhulud Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Just got shopping notice for the first two variants originally posted and ordered. Pumped to get this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Ordered the pink vinyl/ pink covers yesterday. Can't go wrong with pink on pink. This music is infectious. I'm really enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Another case of people who's taste match with mine very well is causing me to order something blindly! Damn it, haha! Edit : I might listen to a few songs. The emo tag being thrown in there makes me a little more cautious. monsterrod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely like what people describe as emo these days, so I'm rather weary when a new band has that word attached to them. But you, Juan and Don all backing it eases my doubts quite a bit.

Jon, there's no "emo" - if you like Whirl's Distressor EP, - you will like this, esp the femme vocals. Now, there are a few bands that would get the emo tag (at least one or more of their releases) you should give a listen --that I found through postrock threads on ATPR like Appleseed Cast via LLO 1&2, Athletics, Moving Mountains, and Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson. The latter is the most emo that for some reason really resonates with me. They have classical instruments and unpolished vocals.... and they've been quiet for way too long. Their S/T Double CD is 8 perfect tracks (6 to 8 minutes each), and there are only a handful of albums that I like every single minute on them. Probably some subconscious thing back during my school days or something. But hey, if emo can't bring up nostalgia, nothing can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenFrost Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 I personally wouldn't consider them "emo" either. Just pulled that from their self described bio on Bandcamp. Nonetheless, amazing band/great release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless, amazing band/great release. Yeah, I really dig it (and plan on ordering today). "emo" makes no sense to me after listening to it, it's an odd way for them to describe themselves.
