dreamover Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Release Date: September 25, 2015Loser Edition: Gray Marble Sub Pop will reissue The Album Leaf’s 2004 classic In A Safe Place on vinyl, worldwide September 25th, 2015. The vinyl edition of the album, which has been out of print since 2007, will be repressed both on black and a limited “Loser” edition colored vinyl (while supplies last). Jimmy LaValle, perhaps known best for his work in the contemplative dream-rock outfit Tristeza and San Diego’s The Black Heart Procession, began releasing delicate, progressive instrumental work as The Album Leaf in 1999(the name comes from a Chopin piece). After years of labor-intensive touring and tinkering with complex tracks in his cramped bedroom studio, LaValle was repeatedly offered a rare invite from Icelandic phenoms Sigur Ros and Mum to record his newest solo opus in their Mosfellsbaer studio. He finally accepted and flew overseas to compose and record “In A Safe Place.” With the addition of vocals (absent from previous Album Leaf releases) from The Black Heart Procession’s Pall Jenkins, Sigur Ros’ Jon Thor Birgisson, and LaValle himself, the songs on the new record are chillingly delicate and more pop-based than ever before. “In A Safe Place” masterfully negotiates the spaces between minimal electronica and neo-instrument rock.$16 + Shipping (Loser Edition While Supplies Last): https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/the_album_leaf/in_a_safe_place$18 + Shipping (Loser Edition, 200 available): http://albumleafstore.com/collections/new/products/in-a-safe-place-12 drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't say anything on check out. Sub Pop tends to update product listings periodically. It just went up a bit ago, so anyone who orders is getting the loser edition until the page says it's sold out. No info on what color the loser edition is yet.

drds89 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Did those ordering from TAL store get an order link that said 'autographed/signed' when checking out, or is it wait until you get it to see if you were in the first 50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
