batman Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 One of my favorite Deep Elm releases finally got the vinyl treatment from In the Clouds records! This album is produced by Gregory Dunn (vocals/guitars from Moving Mountains) Athletics : Why Aren't I Home? Touch Sensitive Vinyl "if there's one thing that i've always loved about nj, it's the wide variety of music that comes out of here. every band adding their own style to the scene... always keeps things interesting. athletics are right in the thick of it all coming out of asbury park. their debut album "why aren't i home?" originally released through deep elm, delivers their own haunting post-rock sound i felt deserved an equally fitting vinyl packaging. over the winter i happened to run into the band hanging out at the court tavern and approached them with the idea of creating an album cover that leaves a ghost image of a hand print on touch, then slowly vanish when let go. we applied the touch sensitive ink by hand to each cover and added a custom diecut logo sticker on the bottom right corner available in 3 different colors w/ matching vinyl." black touch sensitive jacket 12" vinyl w/ 3 different color variants (-) ultra clear w/ black & white splatter (-) sea blue & silver A side/B side colored (-) milky clear w/ oxblood haze Side A: Why Aren't I Home? See You On The Other Side Fairview Jordan Speaking For Everyone I Am Withdrawal Side B: Lullaby August It's Night, It's Enough Affliction The Cost Of Living ORDER: http://intheclouds.bigcartel.com/product/athletics-why-aren-t-i-home-touch-sensitive-vinyl http://www.facebook.com/inthecloudsrecords MORE INFO: http://www.deepelm.com/520/ LISTEN: Do yourself a favor and check these guys out!!!

EmoVeganBoy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 YES! I dont know why I didnt think to create a thread for this before! Bought the oxblood and the sea blue/silver about a week ago. This band is seriously amazing. I saw them perform in Boston and Hamden, CT in back to back days earlier this month. Posted a few vids to my youtube so definitely check them out. http://www.youtube.com/user/acfine22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Caught this band a little while back - they should be a lot bigger than they are at the moment. I'll be grabbing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilgerald Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 So just to clarify. Whatever colour vinyl you pick, the cover will be matching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 So just to clarify. Whatever colour vinyl you pick, the cover will be matching? i'm not completely sure. i think it means that the die-cut sticker will be a color that matches the vinyl. i know intheclouds has an account on here, so maybe they can chime in and clarify.

intheclouds Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 So just to clarify. Whatever colour vinyl you pick, the cover will be matching? All covers will have black touch sensitive ink, the diecut logo sticker on the front will be different depending on the color of the vinyl. I hope to have some pics and a promo video up later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
