jhulud Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 From Robotic Empire: Low and behold, the GHASTLY CITY SLEEP vinyl is finally done! Only like 9 months late, what? Better late that never birthing this beast though, as this self-titled debut turned out beautiful on vinyl. Two jackets printed up at Ross Ellis (with a thick spot varnish on the outer one) house the fine vinyl made by Pirates Press. This is the first job we've hand-assembled in years, and it was definitely worth having a billion extra boxes in-house for, as the end-result is pretty stellar! We made 1165 of these total, with the total pressing info as such: * 275 on VANILLA (opaque cream with a tiny bit of white splatter) * 275 on SMORE (opaque brown mixed with opaque cream) * 275 on COGNAC (metallic gold mixed with translucent green) * 210 on BLACK * 130 (rejected) TEST PRESSES with alternate packaging The test press version is only being sold along with the regular album, and these are now available through the Robotic Empire Online Store! GHASTLY CITY SLEEP is mainly comprised of Virginia-to-NYC transplants who've converted their audio pallet from former chaos (CITY OF CATERPILLAR, MAJORITY RULE) into blissful rock-based ambience. Channeling the ghosts of SIGUR ROS and MOGWAI's past blended with powerful guitars, keys, varied percussion and just about everything in between. The multitude of layers involved here are accompanied by a warm, haunting array of vocals... all helping GHASTLY CITY SLEEP craft simply epic songs. Two tracks from this self-titled debut can be heard online here: http://www.myspace.com/GhastlyCitySleep These LPs will ship out roughly around the time of the band's record release show on December 15th, and will be amongst our last shipment trip for the year as we're not filling any new orders received after December 10th. The US post offices are just far too nuts around Christmas time to even try fighting the crowds. We'll be accepting orders during this break, but won't start shipping again until after the new year... so if you want stuff, now is the time to get it! http://www.roboticempire.com/store_index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vito Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 honestly, i was torn between vanilla and black. I didn't even need to think about the others, but it took me a few minutes to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
