EHughes527 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Added some new photos to the first post. The Standard Edition is Randomly Colored vinyl, so each copy will be different. The Deluxe Edition is really hard to take a good photo of, but it is truly stunning. A must-see indeed! ethereal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHughes527 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 7 minutes ago, zdkaiser said: are these shipping out immediately after Oct 1? Pretty much. I'll probably spend the next few days packing up all initial orders, but these are in hand and ready to go. zdkaiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHughes527 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm very happy with how the Standard Edition came out as well. The Random-Colors I've opened so far have been pretty stunning. highfives and ethereal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHughes527 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 For those who have listened to the stream, what's your favorite track thus far? https://hazymountains.bandcamp.com/album/small-hours As you can imagine, I've listened to this release quite a bit in releasing it, and I'd say my favorite track on the whole release is Track 3, 'Silver Screen'. It starts out like a dreamy lullaby and gradually builds into this epic wailing guitar before it lulls you back down. Track 6 'Cardinal' is another favorite too. You'll know why when the sax kicks in. Track 9 'Toska' is great driving music. It gets me pumped every time. This is a release that I can truly listen to from front to back every time. Not a single bad or boring track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noone Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 its between small hours, desire and toska for me. i'm going with desire because of the guitar part. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Going to piggyback on that last comment and say Desire for best track. Its such a beautiful synth-pop track. Although my favorite part of the album is when that saxophone kicks in on Cardinal. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 This whole record jams but Be Around might be my current favorite. Those dueling melody lines coupled with that driving beat make for a sweet summer driving jam. Small Hours is a perfect opener too. It really sets the tone for the whole record.

freezeflash Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Echoing a few others here. To me, the opening track (Small Hours) really gives this album the right to live in your car and never leave. This is driving music defined. I really can’t wait to spin this, because it’s going to take me on numerous road trips without ever leaving the house during cold winter evenings.

audiodrive Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 This is a great album. My fave is "Be Around"... really like the lively beat of this song. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Desire is my favorite track. Really enjoy the female vocals. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneThreeOneTwo Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm going to have to go with "Toska". I like the instrumental tracks better overall, and that one is best of them. It reminds me of Rephlex/early-Warp IDM production but mixed with shoegaze. It's like a Seefeel track, and that's high-praise in my books.

cobannaboc Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) My favorite has to be "Be Around." Love the pulsing synth that carries through the song. The various riffs with the higher pitch synths work perfectly. Kinda get some Empire of the Sun vibes off of it. Added this one to my driving playlist!
