Which I have to say I enjoy a hell of a lot more. Like every other song has an atmospheric build into a solo which I would never have expected.

Shitty Rambo Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I've jammed this handful of times, and I gotta say this record is certainly worthy of the title 'Muck.' It's a really "corroded" and "wet" sounding album, I'm almost getting Strange Wilds vibes from it. This album is also a lot more akin to their Broad Shoulders/Mediumship era stuff in that it's a lot more atmospheric and open. I'm personally a bit disappointed by that because I absolutely loved Hail Something and was hoping this would be a more polished version of that style. Hail Something is very raw and fluid and sounds like a pissed off DIY album from a garage band (because it pretty much is exactly that lol). I don't dislike this, but nothing is really jumping out and kicking me in the cheekbone just yet. Also RIP Mr. Hooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 " Unfortunately, we just received word from the vinyl manufacturing plant that the Muck vinyl has been delayed a few months due to a brutal combination of COVID-19 & supply chain issues. At this point, our best estimate is that Muck vinyl will now ship on or around January 22. If the vinyl happens to arrive sooner than that, we will certainly send it out before this date, but right now it's not a guarantee based on what we know from the manufacturer. We are deeply sorry for this disappointing news. But rest assured, once we receive the vinyl we'll be packing these puppies up and sending them out to you ASAP! While we know we can't necessarily make up for the delay, to help make it sting just a little bit less, we'll be including a super special v exclusive goodie from the band that will only be made available to folks that have already pre-ordered the vinyl! This special item will not be made available to the public." MCDELTAT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Came here to post the same thing. I wonder what they'll provide but that's nice of them to include a "goodie" for everyone affected. That's above and beyond. Will have to grab the Pool Kids releases to thank em now.

The last update email in September said January 22. Still a ways away. And I know they're not really test pressings but if they were then its kinda normal for them to release first. You seem miffed that thats happening but I might have read you wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDonals Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Per the email they just sent Quote Mo (Skelly co-owner/my wife) and I are doing all we can to make sure we're on track to ship all of your pre-orders out by January 22nd. Barring any further delays in manufacturing and/or shipping to Skelly HQ, this still seems likely at this point. If that happens to change for any reason, we will keep you posted. Once the vinyl arrives, our plan is to drop everything and start packing all 400+ orders ASAP. Expect an email with tracking info as soon as your package is shipped out.

N8TRU Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I feel like Skeletal Lightning is being over-apologetic and hard on themselves. I completely understand why it's taking so long and it's okay, especially being a surprise release. And like Dan said, it wouldn't move if they shipped it. Dikembe fans seem pretty chill about it too. MCDELTAT and Skeletal Lightning 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

januarytwenty Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Just got shipping for tan w/red smoke. Waiting for shipping for test press. Kinda excited to see what goody they threw in (even though it wasn’t needed; would’ve supported them either way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
