Gumbo72203 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Show Me A Dinosaur - S/T album via Elusive Sound will begin pre-orders on 9/9/16 with a full-album release on 9/16/16. LOOK AT THESE FREAKING VARIANTS!!!! I am told the price will be 24.99euro and 19.99euro, but will confirm later. Anybody in the US interested in purchasing, contact me to get in on the group-buy. If you are unfamiliar with the band, check them out on their bandcamp. Their earlier stuff was more traditional post-rock, but they have since gone a more aggressive direction in the vein of Deafheaven or Vattnet Viskar, incorporating more elements of black metal.

Thomas³ Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 That is some intense color on that pink variant. I doubt the final will come out as cool as the mock-up, but still interested to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcha Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I want to like this due to coolness of design and the post rock is pretty good. But...I can't get into them vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorkik Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Very very hype for this. Also does anyone know if the blue tape repress is a different blue color than the 1st press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I have no clue about the tapes, man. I'd contact the band on Facebook.

The music is awesome. The black metal part is only like half the time anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Posting to check back in with this. When it first came out I loved it, but I haven't had the incentive to stick with it and go for another listen. Will definitely have to get around to that within the next day or so and report back.

Funny, I'm having the opposite kind of reaction. I was a little ambivalent towards it at first, but the more I listen, the more I love it. Also, I've got a few people on board for a group-buy already, so if you want in....you should do it! ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I loved Dust, but one listen of this when it came out was hard to get through. Going to revist because my God those are gorgeous variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Need to keep giving this a few more listens. Seems like a couple songs start to stand out a little more with each listen. Just seems really different than Dust. Almost feels like a different band at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Pitchfork wrote their bio for them: "Flooding guitar sounds with hurricane of drums and desperate screams." Man, after listening to this I can't really find anything redeeming. There are a large handful of other bands off the top of my head who can ace everything these guys are trying to do. To me it just sounds like they are going for too much, and it makes it all fall short. I'm not digging the mixing and mastering either. I think that more than anything left a bad taste in my mouth. It's lacking that dynamic feel this type of music needs. It's so weird that I feel like I'm listening to too much at one point, and then feel like I'm only getting one channel the next. That's just my two cents. (Also, the name of the band is completely random and stupid to me. I didn't let it effect my opinion of the music, but c'mon, come up with a better name.) fizio59 and ethereal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed. And I agree on the band name. I don't know the exact story but I think they're Jurassic Park fans (due to the clips found on Dust) lol. I really don't like the Deafheaven-esque drumming. It always sounds off-beat to me. I'm glad it's not used throughout the whole album, but it's there more than I'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, if you're interested, we need to get moving on this. I have the label reserving some copies, but the /100 variants are flying, and will likely be sold out by next week. They've sold 60 of them since Friday. We're up to 8 records in the group buy, so if you want to join in, please let me know so I can reserve more copies from the label, and get this going! Also, many more pictures on the label's website! http://elusive-sound.com/product/smad-zvezdnoe-serdtse/ Edited September 10, 2016 by Gumbo72203 ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Philippe said that with the amount of people I've already got, we just crossed into 5.5kg/70eruo shipping tier. But that tier can cover up to 18 records. So, the more people we get the more it will break down to smaller portions per person. He also said he'll chip in for some of the shipping too. So even if we got 2-3 more people, to get it to 10 people and 13 or so records, that makes it 7euros per person, plus $4 media mail. I think that's pretty good?

It's only going to be 58 euros; he's covering the rest. As of right now, I have 5 people and 8 records. The /100 is 24.99euro. Shipping would be 7.25 euro plus $4 media mail. So that's 28.00 plus 8.15 plus 4. Which makes $40.15. Which will come down further if more people join. The /150 variant is 22.45US so that makes $34.60.
