DecayToDeath Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I've been graced with the opportunity to reissue (what I consider to be) one of the best albums ever made. Happy 10-year anniversary to Narrowing Type! For those unfamiliar, it's a wonderful blend of sounds pulling from influences like Low, The American Analog Set, Stereolab, and a whole slew of other brilliant musicians. It got overlooked at time of release, but has garnered a decently-sized cult following over the last decade, and today, on the 10-year anniversary of its release, I get to share the reissue. Original copies are impossible to track down at this point, so for those who've heard it, this has been a long time coming! Pre-order here: https://energycrow.com/products/gngm-narrowing-type And check out this interview with frontman Ryan Brewer to commemorate the anniversary: https://sun-13.com/2022/04/25/beyond-the-clouds-in-conversation-with-good-night-good-mornings-ryan-brewer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronchitis Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I have never heard of them before but just checked the album out and it’s right down my alley. Good stuff. Grabbed a copy. DecayToDeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Nice score. I had this album in my library courtesy of some random /mu/-core chart, many years back. I haven’t listened to it in a minute but I’ll be sure to fix that soon and see if I can’t justify a buy. DecayToDeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 It may be because I’ve been on a big slowcore / ambient kick over the last few years, but this does indeed get my seal of approval upon revisit. DecayToDeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t wanna distribute a subpar product and unfortunately had to reject the first test pressing so it took a little longer than the band and I had hoped. Just happy to have them in-hand now. copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just happy to have them in-hand now. that's the right way to do i in my opinion, always happy to wait longer for a better product! btw can you say what the order # cutoff is for the bonus tape? very curious if i made the cut hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last order to get a tape will be #ECR1098. We initially said "first 50 orders get the bonus tape", but then after agreeing upon it and advertising it, we realized there was ambiguity between us about whether that meant A. One tape in each of the first 50 orders, regardless of how many copies they ordered (total of 50 cassettes) B. One tape paired with each of the first 50 copies sold, regardless of how many somebody ordered/how many orders that takes to be complete (still total of 50 cassettes) C. One tape paired with each copy within the first 50 orders; some people, especially internationally, did group buys, so this would amount to MORE than 50 cassettes Rather than screw anyone over, we decided on a run of 75-100 tapes to fulfill option C. After everything ships, any replacements for loss/damage are sent out, and a few of the overrun are given to friends and family, the remaining ones will probably go up for sale. Also, since I run this whole jawn myself non-profit, I'm thinking about doing something to the effect of TPs w/ screenprinted jackets just to cover some of the unexpected production costs (eg staggering inflation between announcement and now causing many of the orders' shipping charges to be outdated and inadequate). Nothing crazy, maybe like $50 plus the cost of however much it costs to do the screenprint setup divided by the number of prints. Also been thinking about doing a small run of Energy Crow logo enamel pins for the same reason. Any of the three people checking this thread have any fundraising ideas that you'd buy? T-shirts etc? copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 You can’t go wrong with enamel pins to start off with. Also, good job seeing this through even if it meant waiting longer. After 2-3 months of waiting, it kind of starts to feel like a blur whether it’s 4, 5, 8, or 12 months after ordering. Few things are worse than waiting 3+ months for something that feels underwhelming or sounds like trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copelandkid Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 ahh ok so i'm a little bit outside the cutoff at #1116, i saw the VC post on day 2 so sounds like there was a great initial burst of sales on day 1. which speaks to how good the record is i reckon. if extra tapes do go up i will certainly have a look! big tape guy these days.

DecayToDeath Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Sahan ended up engineering a safe way to ship everyone's tapes with their LPs, and those should've all gone out by now. If anybody with an order number up to #ECR1098 didn't get theirs by mistake, lemme know! The rest of the stock is being mailed to me so I can keep it with the other ECR records and handle distribution from here on out.
