I just got confirmation that Unwed Sailor The White Ox LPs and Yndi Halda Enjoy Eternal Bliss LPs will be shipping from the plant early next week. Pre-orders will ship immediately! I know it’s been a long wait, but it will be worth it. The LPs for the Foxhole/The Magic Lantern/Soporus/Questions in Dialect 2xLP will be shipping very soon, as well, but the covers aren’t ready. Also, we finally have a good test pressing for Aspera’s Back When Love one-sided LP. You know, the long delayed release that took so long that the band broke up and formed two separate new bands, Blood Feathers and Favourite Sons? Yeah, that record. It has some super amazing cover artwork. Shipping very soon! Johnathon is going to be mixing the fourth song for Little Wars A side in April. Once we get a good test pressing for it, I’ll add details about ordering the limited edition 2xLP sets. If all goes well, “Copper Islands” will finally be released on LP this summer! We’re fans of Sweden’s TenderVision Records and will be putting some of their releases up for sale in the btv online shop shortly, including the awesome new releases from Audrey and…Continue reading

Ethan and I have an Aspera etching concept underway and are waiting to find out about it’s etchability. We’re in new territory here and that requires new words. There are a couple of candidates for an efterklang etching. We’re starting to reach some critical mass for late spring/early summer vinyl releases. It’s an exciting time. Thanks to Mikael, there will be a gathering to see Lars Von Trier’s Manderlay on Thursday. I’ve had this for almost a week and it’s been hard not to watch it. What’s up with this being out on DVD in Denmark and barely being in theaters in the U.S.? :::scott:::

Pitchers and catchers are already at Spring Training Camp and the btv fantasy baseball leagues are underway. If team names like Ricky Hendersunn0))), Pelicanseco, Gagne West, gybjuanpierre, or the very terrible cat prior bring a smile to your face and you have indie rock cred (or are my dad), you should be in our league. Shoot off an e-mail and explain your situation for the chance to earn a coveted invite. Efterklang have sent off three songs for their one-sided LP and have a cover photo ready to go. There’s going to be a lot of vinyl this spring with one-sided LPs coming from Bosque Brown, Efterklang, and June Panic. Ethan and I are swearing (you listening Ethan?) that the Aspera etching will finally be done and this record will be out just in time for their new band, Favourite Sons, to displace the Arctic Monkey or whatever ridiculous reigning hipster band of the moment. Also, a special treat…Unwed Sailor’s The Faithful Anchor will be out on vinyl in a special 180g version. It’s our first in extra heavy vinyl and it will impress. I think the one-sided LP for Isolation Years is just around the corner, as well. Krister…Continue reading
