Nobody realllllllllllly exists in Delmar. It's all empty suburban shells. Also, if you guys haven't checked the setlist so far for this tour, be prepared. It's a monster. I'm always down for threads being hijacked for regional chat. What's your band and where do you usually play around here? I always mean to get out to local shows, but then my couch is comfy and my living room bar is much cheaper than going out. I was gonna go out to Big Brave tonight at the Low Beat but then they cancelled. Really wish they'd hit us up on their tour with The Body that ended yesterday.

jeffthomas84 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Also got my Pink from hellomerch, sounds fantastic. What. An. Album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick69 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I received the album today, without a shipping confirmation from KRM EU. The green with black smoke and it looks exactly like the picture in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallowken78 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 My pink copy arrived in a crooked mailer....got home late so I didn't have the energy to open and inspect but it's not looking good that the record isn't damaged too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Steele Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Picked up the clear/yellow today at my local store. Looks & sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Steele Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 20 hours ago, poweredbytrust said: interesting, so the clear yellow one (EU indie exclusive) is NOT different colors for either disc. Looks like a "piss yellow" like the one for the Sunbather pressing. Not sure what to think about this, maybe I should've hopped on the KRM EU exclusive that is now sold out... oh well, Mine is, but what I've seen from other pictures so far it might be an anomaly poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I'm afraid some of the 320s on soulseek are upwards transcodes of the low-grade leak from last week and I don't want to have to question sourcing, so can someone hook me up with their DL code?

kill_taker Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Sadly forgot the password for my main account.. Anyways, did someone receive shipping notice from Deathwish Europe? Was supposed to ship today and I am in the middle of moving, so kinda worried that it might be delayed or so.. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poweredbytrust Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) grabbed an EU indie yellow/clear today, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's not a mere translucent pressing. My records at least have a considerable amount of "yellow smoke" inside the vinyl, which definitely looks really cool! Also, the visual presentation and packaging are top notch, as was to be expected from this band. Have just started spinning side A, but the pressing is really nice sounding so far. As for the music, my concerns from a few pages back have been almost completely erased over the course of a few digital spins in the last couple of days. I still think it's gimmicky and cheesy at times, but more of the kind that was the outro from "Come Back" on New Bermuda (in other words: pretty awesome). I dig the album as a whole a lot more now! My criticism for "Night People" still holds up at least a bit. I can appreciate the little atmospheric break it brings to the second half of the album, but the track in itself is still rather uninspired (and also more or less the same chord progression as "Near" repeated time after time).

I think the main chord is the same but Near goes up the scale while Night People goes down. Seems like a means to escalate and de-escalate Glint. poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you adjust the pace the main lead melody from Near can be played over Night People just as well (except for the bridge in the latter). It wasn't meant solely as criticism though, I don't think it's that blatant and it doesn't annoy me or anything. Just an observation.

CatsNJazz Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Picked up the blue from my local and it doesn't sound super great but it's good enough, Canary Yellow is definitely my favorite track on the album, it's almost as good as Dream House, it's got a great build up and the guitar tone is perfect, I hope I see them on this tour since I've missed them every time in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Just got the KRM EU group buy package in! They threw 5 records in a mailer with no padding but somehow all we ended up with were a few minor bumped corners. No seamsplits or anything! Spinning my copy now... this sounds fantastic! The green with black smoke looks great. Also, very happy that they went with the anti-static sleeves for this. Everyone should just do that. Sure, it'll add a dollar to the product but I'd rather pay more than have shitty white sleeves that leave dust, give sleeve burn, and disintegrate over time. It's nice to hear this in full fidelity after showing the album to my friend this weekend on our drive down to NYC via his Spotify account. That compression is rough lol. This album is so good though! I can totally see how people don't like it; it's very triumphant and upbeat. Lots of major key jams! Not sure it tops Sunbather for me, as I'd wondered earlier, but man.... this is fucking good. EDIT: Man, I gotta give props to KRM for this one. This pressing is wonderful. No surface noise. It's a tad on the quiet side, but man, everything sounds really fucking good. No pops, no clicks, no static during quiet parts. Absolutely wonderful.
