EKSI EKSO - I Am Your Bastard Wings 2xLP preorder!

[buddhistzombie]

from the Mylene Sheath:

Hey gang! Well, the time has come for us to begin taking preorders for this behemoth! We're super pumped about this record for so many different reasons! Reason #1 is that the album is simply amazing. Ambitious and sophisticated, there is absolutely nothing conventional about any of the albums twelve compositions. And, of course, these characteristics also carry over to the layout of the packaging and the vinyl itself. Spread across two LP's with songs filling up sides A-C and an epic etching on display across side D. The intense artwork (revised from the CD version) will be spread across two full-color, heavyweight, matte-finished, jacket-stock inner-sleeves housed in a heavy, upgraded, 5" spine, full-colored, matte-finished jacket. As usual, all preorder customers will be entered into a raffle to win a test press of the album with a hand screened jacket by yours truly! Also worth mentioning is that by preordering you'll save $3 off the purchase price, as due to the scope of this project the regular price will have to be $20, but they're just $17 during the preorder =) There are three different purchase options for this:

And here's a review of the album by THE BOSTON GLOBE http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001qAS2m5HJo4ozs.... 4pJArMkvhuzrMM:

"Eksi Ekso formed from the ashes of two promising Boston-based rock bands: On Fire and the Burning Paris. Like its peers in fellow Massachusetts band Caspian and Texan label mates This Will Destroy You, this sextet loves the emotional epic and favors a moody, engulfing sound. Unlike those two purist post-rock bands, Eksi Ekso - that catchy name comes from the phonetic pronunciation of the Greek words for the number six and outside: six outside - includes wonderful vocals from co-frontmen Tom Korkidis and Nate Shumaker. Guitars burn and soar, and subtle loops and samples sometimes add a trip-hop aura, but these sophisticated arrangements also include violin, viola, piano, synthesizer, oboe, trumpet, and flugelhorn. Contemplative and heavy, "Albatross" bears obvious comparison to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Magnificent strings drive the haunting "O' God, They're Frozen," and in a lighter moment a trumpet plays a plaintive jazzy refrain, introducing the record's lead track, "Wintering, The" - a title that suggests this six-some doesn't choose a path well-trodden if there's a less obvious way to go." - Linda Laban, The Boston Globe

So that's what's going on! We're making this available to everyone on our mailing list a few days before we announce the preorder to the general public, to ensure you guys get the copies that you want. These will ship out to you before the end of the month. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email us =) Hope everyone is having an awesome week! Order away!!

xoxo,
