A special advertisement composed by our good friend, Mr. Keyes, with some embellishment: “Starflyer 59 is the ultimate fan’s band, adored and upheld by a faithful following, kept like a secret for 13 years running. Now, for the dedicated devotee, comes the ultimate collection: in the grand tradition of the SubPop singles club, Wedding Present’s 12 7” in one year, or Public Image Ltd.’s Metal Box, Burnt Toast Vinyl is thrilled to announce the Starflyer 59 “Ghosts of the Future” series. The collection consists of a total of 10 7″s, broken out over four individual shipments. 2 will arrive in July, 2 more in September, then 3 in both November and January. Each slipcase will be letterpressed with specially-designed artwork (from the HYMY Industries design firm), and the first shipment will come with a box built to contain the complete collection (as if anything will actually be able to contain it!). Then there’s the music — each A-side boasts demo versions of songs from the forthcoming Starflyer full-length; each B-sided is a track exclusive to this collection. It’s like being in the studio with the band as they piece together the new record. If you pre-order at the too-good-to-resist price…

Efterklang one-sided LPs are going out to all of those who ordered. Sorry for the lag, but we’re on top of things now. More LPs just arrived. We’re expecting quite a few vinyl shipments this week and next and will update you as soon as they are ready to go out. :::scott:::
New Zealand’s Birchville Cat Motel has just confirmed as a participant in the ongoing one-sided LP series. Props to Krister for recording the recent set in Umea, Sweden. We’ve been digging Chi Vampires and Curved Surface Destroyer. We finally have a good test pressing with etching for Isolation Years Snoose Boulevard. Ben Volta etched the B side with a bunch of ants and it looks great. We should have this ready in the next couple of weeks, hopefully in time for some of their shows in their native Sweden. :::scott:::
