Happy Birthday Ben Volta! I’m in Indiana for a week, so mail order shipments won’t happen until I’m back. I hope to have the first two Starflyer 59 7″ out then… :::scott:::

The new test pressings for mewithoutYou’s Brother, Sister LP sound great. I’ll be putting it up for pre-order later today. We’re in the queue for color vinyl pressing so it should just be a couple of weeks until they ship out. I’m excited to finally have this ready to come out. The Starflyer 59 Ghost of the Future 7″ should be shipping in about a week or so. I was hoping to get them out earlier, but there have been some issues at the factory causing some delays. It should be worth the wait. In other good news, the curse has been lifted and we now have copies of Aspera’s Back When Love LPs. It’s been a super long time coming and this is definitely an amazing record. It has some of the last songs that Aspera ever recorded before their end. Now members are in Philadelphia’s Blood Feathers (Box Theory) and NYC’s Favourite Sons (Vice). The cover painting of the band is truly amazing. :::scott:::
There are a few reviews out for some of the 4 band 2xLP split releases. Here’s one in Pop Matters for The Magic Lantern and one for Questions in Dialect The Ghost Wishes to Speak. Though the same reviewer for Questions in Dialect also had this to say in allmusic about the record. A short mention in the new issue of XLR8R (available for download in .pdf format) “Their double-LP set of four new bands – including gloomy rockers Foxhole, Swedish instrumentalists The Magic Lantern, brilliant ambient duo Soporus, and doom electronics from Questions in Dialect – is one of the most memorable releases this year.” A nice in-depth article analyzes all four components in textura. Also, the letterpressed cover for Foxhole We the Wintering Tree cd is at the printer. We should be on target for a release this autumn. Starflyer 59 is in the midwest for a few shows later in the week. They’ll be selling subscriptions for the 7″ box set at the shows. Bring your pockets filled with cash to subscribe…We’re hoping to get on the press this week for the first 2 7″ so we can mail the colored vinyl out to pre-subscribers early next…
