David The Gnome Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Oh man, this looks awesome. Hopefully this means they'll press their self titled album to vinyl too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swoopdog Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Had someone inquire about the availability over here so thought I would let everyone know whats left at this point: Deluxe boxset: 36 Screenprinted: 32 Standard (both colors): 26,23 http://pirateshiprecords.storenvy.com They are moving quick especially the screenprinted version so I wouldn't sleep on it if you wanted to pick one up. Thanks to everyone who already picked this up and I am sorry if anyone missed anything the decision to move up the release date was the bands.

swoopdog Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Also anyone who orders today will be entered for a chance to win 1 of 2 sets of metal stampers used in the production of the record from Gotta Groove Records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I saw this the other day. I love this album, but I need to chill on my money spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketGnome Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Ughh... I really shouldn't pick this up. But I know I will. Love how this genre totally opened up to me. I heard Explosions in the sky once, made a pandora station and it opened me to post rock, drone, ambient and all the way to trip hop. It's insane to me how that happened. That wooden box set looks pretty cool too. I love seeing the creative process behind the packaging even if it does seem like a way to gauge prices. It's beautiful none the less.

swoopdog Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Trust me the intention is never to gauge prices in fact the margins on the boxset are lower as a percentage than the other variants. We did it because we believe the album is beautiful and believed in creating an aesthetic that we hope can come close to matching it. Also wanted to give a bundle option that was unique to the completists who wanted something special to cherish. Also it's more fun since people cant disassemble and try and part it out without shooting themselves in the foot it's literally a weapon against those who flip records for profit.
