lexicondevil Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Of course I got the clear from DW. The big dilemma is deciding if I need any other color. Edit: Whoops, just bought a pink copy, too. Damn it. Stop. Edited April 18, 2018 by lexicondevil tre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Note: been listening to them since the demo and have enjoyed all their releases) To continue the drama going, I legitimately think they take everything they do very seriously. Have you seen them perform? Their vocalist acts like he is some sort of sage. Or maybe you're on to something, because a lot of their lyrics seem like a joke. That being said, I pre-ordered a clear.

parkinglot Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Grabbed the clear from Deathwish. There is a very small amount of bands who will always warrant a blind pre-order for me, even when it costs $54 shipped...but holy shit that stings. tre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to go, though I've never heard of the venue they are playing at in SF. Reading those lyrics and the mention of "Cortazar" makes me wonder if he's referring to Julio Cortzar. The lyrics remind me a little bit of his writing. Edited April 18, 2018 by lexicondevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is taken from DW page: Taking more literary cues, the lyrics to the expansive “Honeycomb” reference seminal Argentinian writer Julio Cortazar, author of the elaborately structured stream-of-conscious novel Hopscotch while another song, "Canary Yellow," includes the line “I have wondered about the language of flowers.” lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch them just do solid opaque colors that match the lettering up top – 1,000 of each. Lo and behold... haha didn't think this would actually happen. These variants are fuckin' lame. When clear is the best looking variant in 2018, it reeks of laziness. But Honeycomb is fantastic and I'll be hitting up that tour and grabbing a copy on black as well.

holyvacantsholyhell Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Just now, nick69 said: Do people even like opaque colored and clear records? I got the european one because it's different. Eh, maybe years ago when I first started out collecting, but opaque colors and clear are just kinda humdrum to me now. If I'm gonna risk a reduction in sound quality, it's gotta be worth it and interesting. That being said, I do like clear albums and they look great, but I kind of expected more considering the pressings for Sunbather. We don't need to discuss NB's pressing.

They could do the craziest color combo possible and I would have already owned 3 copies of different records on the same colorway. If it doesn't go well with the art it doesn't do much for me.

After seeing the unimaginative variants for New Bermuda, I wasn’t holding my breath for anything crazy, anyway. I’m not a huge fan of the cover art and don’t really care all that much about insane color combinations for the vinyl itself; if it matches and has a cohesive aesthetic, I’m game. And fortunately clear wax looks great with almost every black-and-white jacket I’ve ever seen. Anyone read the writeup on the product page? Interesting that Chelsea Wolfe makes an appearance on the album. tre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
