For anyone not indoctrinated, SWANS do a demo CD as fundraiser for each album cycle, hand made by Gira. Already went for the $100 “You get listed as an Executive Producer in the studio album's notes + a CD or LP of the finished album upon completion” option. So that's exiting.

I unno, why not it's SWANS, whose lyrics from just one album contain such lyrical gems as [goes through a beginners English dictionary with the word “no” in front of each entry], “YOUR NAME IS FUCK,” and “NATALIE!”

I say this lovingly of course, I can picture this sounding quite dizzying in a “My Phantom Limb” kind of way. This is basically an interesting elaboration of a donation level that's been there for I think every fundraiser album. Before it was one brief acoustic song each for everyone who donates at that level.

Goes on sale tomorrow 01/07 @8AM Pacific. I've been waiting for this for a while now.

RIYL: Saetia, Funeral Diner, Portraits of Past, Orchid, You and I, screamo stuff etc.
 

Preorder opens tomorrow. The major release is for the Valis game compilation, but Limited Run Games are also doing a vinyl release for the collection.

FYI: Don't expect this vinyl collection to be released quickly. Despite the awesome service this company does for game preservation, they are always backed up with huge orders that are done one release at a time. Also when ordering the huge special editions those can take even longer...
 
The All American Rejects - Move Along

Repress by Dark Operative records, seemingly planned for release around a 15th anniversary tour and festivities in 2020. Now getting a special phased rollout to prioritize indies and LRCs.

With “uncertainty” still being the guiding principle most of us are living under, it’s good to take the joy where you can find it. That said, we’re delighted to finally be releasing the LP (in stages) starting this Friday. To ensure that physical indie/mom & pop record stores get proper support during yet another scary time to be a retailer, they get first crack at the reissue (contact RevHQ to have copies shipped now). Big box/chain retailer release date isn’t until March, as they’ll obviously survive…

Mailorder customers will also be able to order direct later in the week. When possible, support physical record stores in your community and use direct mailorder only as a final option. Thank you.

RevHQ was sold out within minutes of going live yesterday, but I was able to grab a gold just now. Seems only white is left. Dark Operative will have mailorder this Friday it sounds like, though they'd rather your local first.
