Transitioning from the bright, hopeful, and melodic leanings of Enta, and ending with dark, depressed, and chaotic offerings from Anodes, this split features two brand new songs from each band, serving as a deep and dynamic contrast between light and dark.Pressed on 10" vinyl in three different vinyl variants: (/100) Black(/100) White(/100) White w/ Black HazeStream: http://bit.ly/1cwPjYWPre-order 10": http://bit.ly/1c7gb6I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletal Lightning Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hey all, If you didn't hear, I'm now carrying loads of distro from Dog Knights Productions in the UK to help some US folks save $$ on shipping. I just got the first shipment in today, with more on the way in a few weeks, including the nai harvest/playlounge shaped split and more. Blue Friend and hopefully the new headroom should be on the way in about a month. Restocks and new releases will tentatively be shipped to me about once every 1-2 months. Let me know if you're looking for anything in particular that I don't already have and I'll see if I can get my hands on it.
