Hmm I imagine there might be a vmp version?
 

Here’s the thing about Strands Of Oaks, my introduction to him was via “Goshen ‘97” that song combined with his look led me to believe he was a guitar ripper but everything that I have heard since that cut was been synth heavy and with lots of ballady mellow vibes. While I am not opposed to the music that he regularly makes I feel like he (and J Mascis who I recently learned, but now seems obvious; was the shredder on that breakout track) bamboozled me a bit by release that track as his first single.

I had a similar experience with Phosphorescent. Loved the song released, which sounded nothing like his other stuff when I got the album.

That was like his fourth album, though.

Yeah, I am a big Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy guy so I was thinking Phosphorescent was gonna be of that ilk and similarly that isn’t what he turned out to be. Again, it’s not bad just different than expected.
 
Heard there’s gonna be an exclusive TicketMaster variant too!
I was asked to call the record store holding the Philly variant for me (turns out I was emailing his wife who didn't have any pricing info etc) Just off the phone with him - he's super nice and took my name / number but didn't want me to pay yet on the off chance that he doesn't get any in.

He said that he was told to keep it hush hush when he was told about the variant, and then was surprised to learn that there would be a total of 12 (including the black and rsd edition) That confirms exactly what the other store owner said, that I posted a few pages back.

I had planned to get the rsd edition, but rethinking that. Though, I do want to give business to my store in Princeton.
