abovetheearth Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Caspian cannot be fucking stopped. "The EP will be out in the US via CD/digital on November 11th, but the vinyl won't come out until December. Despite vinyl becoming really popular, no one has built more pressing facilities. As such, we're in the queue behind everyone else who's pressing holiday vinyl. We may be taking pre-orders at shows and shipping them out for free though."

circuit bored records Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 "As such, we're in the queue behind everyone else who's pressing holiday vinyl. RSD and Black Friday will fuck us on this one. I'm not gonna expect to see this in hand til 2014 to avoid getting my hopes up. We all remember last year with the fuckin' Beatles.

Not trying to sound rude here, but you really need to get on this. So overdue. Album is all sorts of phenomenal, in my opinion. This > SRC announcement Couldn't agree more with you on that one.

Yeah, I still don't know how I keep overlooking it. The Mylene Sheath represses of the other albums are on my turntable pretty regularly, so it's not like the band strays from my mind too much. I'll give it a listen when I get to work in a few days and most likely order it shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vool Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Caspian's HYMN FOR THE GREATEST GENERATION is up for PO on makemydays...6 Tracks, ca. 35 minutes, Gatefold, white vinyl incl downloadcard. "Hymn for The Greatest Generation" is, in many ways, an epilogue to the story that Waking Season presented a year ago. A companion piece that functions as both a final word and a re-affirmation of purpose for the music of Caspian. Un-apologetically intentional string arrangements merged with the simplicity of the bands signature emotional songwriting, "Hymn..." forges into fresh territory while retaining narrative elements that people have come to know as vintage Caspian. "The Heart That Fed" uses elements of fan contributions in the form of original music box melodies and reimagines them into a darker, reflective and more ponderous original composition. Rather than using these submissions as direct source material, the band treats them more as artifacts - dug up, repurposed and refashioned to enable the creation of an original piece that bleeds intensity and heart. http://makemydayrecords.de/artist/shop.htmlWondering if this is only released by MMD...they state that the record is currently only available through their online store... For my Mylene Sheath friends out here: If you're interested in ordering, get in touch with me (and/or check the Caspian-News thread at TMS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 There's no way this won't see a stateside release. Absolutely no way. I'm also not cool with shelling out extra import fees to receive white wax, either. The wait continues. I bet a PO option is right around the corner. Also, anyone else notice that even Triple Crown is hung up on the Walk vs. Wake affair? I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6heart6breaker6 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Can't wait to scoop it up with You Are... I don't know how that hasn't been in my collection since day one. Go Sheath Go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
