Wish the God Has Nothing To Do With This vinyl release didn’t get cancelled 😩
 
“I DECIDED EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING THIS ALBUM THAT I ALSO WANTED TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENTALLY KIND, FORWARD-THINKING ALTERNATIVE TO THE CD."

Sure, forward-thinking if you ignore the looking backward and producing vinyl for your release, which - I believe - a CD in a digipak would have less of an environmental impact than vinyl.

I say this as someone who likes Lorde, loves CDs and vinyl, and will acknowledge their cynicism....but I give a slight eye roll to the description (only slight because I think it is sincere, albeit silly)
I agree entirely, I don’t know if Lorde is using recycled materials for the vinyl which is possible, and she did point out her apparel prices are higher based on a choice of an environmentally conscious supplier, but new vinyl production is certainly not the greenest option, though streaming is bad too.

I meant forward thinking from a business sense, given CDs aren’t rally recyclable and some portion of her fans won’t have or use a turntable, so it offers an option for a physical release without that as any younger fans want the photos and posters but listen purely digitally.

Hmmm...that's a good way to look at it. Thanks for the fresh angle. I agree with that sense. Reading it made me think of the beginning of the "name your price" that artists adopted once upon a time
 
Saw this FU MANCHU up for pre-order at Target.

Message when I try to check out:
Items currently unavailable
Some items in your cart are not available right now. Save these items for later or remove them from your cart.

Not finding many other of their albums in stock. Any other Fu Manchu fans have some secret sources?

Sorry if this is a repost and I missed it, but just listened to the single Days Like These and I'm sold. I love the vocal distortion in the first half. It's slightly cheaper for me on bandcamp than subpop for the Loser edition.

Low - Hey What


I'm happy they didn't abandon the folktronic/noise pop moments they had on double negative.. I was nervous that the amazing textures of that album would be ignored but I'm happily wrong that they are more subtly adding it in
 
So they got like... Everyone to cover Metallica huh?

I can't tell if this sounds appealing or not. Especially having the same song back to back to back, etc. Not sure it'll be something worth listening to on vinyl, feels like a digital release to skip around would make more sense to me.
