It'll most likely be put out by Longinus Records and they're based out of Michigan. Might want to keep an eye on this link https://longinusrecordings.bandcamp.com/merch

That's true. Was hopeful Topshelf would pick them up so they would get more exposure.

 

As long as I can easily get it stateside I'm good.

I saw on reddit the person who runs Longinus said he's not putting it out. 

so we might need to keep eyes elsewhere..

Vinyl is finally here! Looks like they will be online for sale in 1-2 weeks after the offline pop up shop. Overseas options were mentioned as well, hopefully they allocate a good amount for distros. Will be gutted if I miss this.

Awesome! So no place to buy it right now huh?

 

edit: never mind, i see it says OFFLINE popup shop, then in the webstore

Yeah I was half-asleep, frantic when I saw this this morning. Took me a good second to piece together why I couldn’t order now.

  • dapeebs changed the title to PO soon(end July/early August) Parannoul - To See the Next Part of the Dream
  • dapeebs changed the title to PO NOW* : Parannoul - To See the Next Part of the Dream (only from Korea at the moment...)

Importing from Korea in general very expensive. That's if you're lucky to find a shop that'll even ship releases you're looking for to your location. The retail price of records seem to be much higher too. Last time I imported from Korea, one single LP cost me $33 while another single LP $48, and shipping was $40. I think the shipping has gotten more expensive now too.

The market for vinyl is just a lot smaller in Korea, that's probably the underlying reason for the prices. I go to Seoul once a year and there are only a handful of small record stores in a city of 20 million and most of the vinyl is imported, which means most (US/ European) new releases go for around $45. Tbh I don't know how much new releases by artists from Korean or other Asian countries typically cost though. I'd be curious to know where the Parannoul vinyl is pressed and whether they are looking into pressing a different run in the US or Europe for those markets to get the cost down.

I was actually talking about Korean artist releases, not necessarily imports. The more expensive one I bought was a copy of Vivid by the band Adoy. I've noticed that the $50 mark tends to be around the average price for many notable artists: Justhis, nafla, Oohyoo, Surl, etc.

Like you said, it probably does have to do with small runs, limited market, and potentially even pressing outside the country.

Because of the smaller market, Korean music on vinyl is in a rough state where alot of the old music is hard to find and out of print so it's expensive, and the new releases are made in such limited quantity that they're also hard to find and import and end up being expensive.

Going up again on Poclanos tonight at 2100EST. Note says it is open to international folks, $40 shipping to US, so almost $80 total if original price held. I love this album, but man is that steep, especially with the unpredictability of international shipping, and their "no refund" policy. Commented on the post and the answer they gave me for US distro seems like no plans for any other shipping at this time... ugh
