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…
Year: 2007
I’ve scanned the cover images from the first 2 7″ in the Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future 7″ series. You can take a look by going here. The front covers have been silk-screened using hand-mixed red metallic and pearl white ink and the backs have been letterpressed using wood type. Foxhole and Questions in Dialect are both going out on the road later in the week and are meeting up for a couple of shows in early July. Be sure to see them if they’re in your neck of the woods. :::scott:::
We have covers ready for the first 2 7″ in the Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future series. The vinyl is supposed to be arriving later this week or early next. Chris, Will, and Matt at HYMY Industries really did a great job mixing special metallic ink for one of the silkscreen covers and using some really nice old wood typeface for the letterpressing. Apparently they blazed through the silkscreen process and did all 10 covers at once. New stampers have arrived at the plant for mewithoutyou’s brother, sister. New test pressings should arrive in the next day or two. We’re hoping all is well because we’re in line for the color vinyl press. :::scott:::
