freverend Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Out 10/28 via Bella Union Fuck, one of my all time favorite albums!! My heart just stopped beating for a second. 'This Autumn Midlake will celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Trials of Van Occupanther with a deluxe reissue via Bella Union on 180g gold vinyl, complete with a B2 pull-out poster, handwritten lyrics and previously unseen photos. The cover artwork has been reimagined in a fittingly flushed, hallucinatory painting by neo-impressionist (and pavement-scorching skateboarder) Brian Lotti. The original album will be accompanied by a special bonus 7” featuring two previously unreleased tracks, the plaintive rolling lament of “The Fairest Way” and the revelatory psychedelic swirl of “Festival”, two tracks recorded before original vocalist Tim Smith departed the band.' http://bellaunion.com/2016/08/midlake-announce-the-release-of-the-trials-of-van-occupanther/ zdkaiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xsjado Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hope they will also release the 7" without the reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeromium Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Cool, I'll likely be snatching this up and I've been hoping to pick up a copy for a while already. I've been avoiding the reissues that are currently in circulation because the artwork looks a little fuzzy. Don't know if originals are the same. Wish they left the cover alone though.

YouTwo Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Also up on Bull moose for $36. At least I think this is it. It says 7" Viny Single but it matches the release date. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/23420460/midlake-trials-of-van-occupanther-import-gbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got it now right? Saw it on your IG account... Got mine yesterday as well --- very nice packaging, awesome sound and look. Well worth it (amazon.de even had it for 22.99€) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
