2000's MySpace Emo-Violence / Grindcore band. Cult following. They were on a very small indie label from here in Oklahoma called Debello Records. This new label called Wax Vessel is specializing in doing very limited vinyl reissues of these obscure bands. Their first release was for a local band called Destroyer Destroyer and they also did a release for the Sawtooth Grin.

(very super limited and not going to be reprinted ever...)

Haven't gotten mine either. Ordered with the Jónsi & Alex reissue (seeing them tomorrow!) and that arrived within days. Warner split up one of my earlier Frightened Rabbit orders, too, so I'm not too worried yet.

Mine finally showed up on Friday or Saturday so I'd expect you'll get yours soon if you haven't yet. Re: Jonsi and Alex, did you order the version that came with the book? Mine arrived without a book and when I emailed them they didn't actually answer the question of whether that was a shipping error, or the book is coming separately.

(Also, v jealous that you're getting to see them. I considered traveling for one of their dates but I already went to Chicago for Joanna Newsom and that's enough for one month)

I actually just emailed them yesterday about the book! Your Frakkur post had me go back and check my order details and then I realized I never got my book either.

In case you haven't signed up to the Sonic Cathedral Singles Club yet and need some encouragement, Slowdive has been announced as their newest 7".

View attachment 20349

You can view the past singles here Singles Club – Sonic Cathedral and sign up here Sonic Cathedral Singles Club from Sonic Cathedral . In USD, it's like 200 dollars after shipping, so I'd recommend checking out a lot of the past singles and deciding if it's worth it to you. There will be eleven 7"s total.

Each 7" is ltd. 300. Only 200 subscriptions available for their singles club (54 remaining as of right now), so the remaining copies will be sold at gigs or possibly distributed to record stores without the deluxe art.

Below is their description of the club

"Why on earth are we starting a Singles Club in 2019?

Sonic Cathedral turns 15 this year and, with Brexit bearing down on us, we can’t help but wonder what the future holds. All of our vinyl and CDs are manufactured in the European Union and prices have already gone up considerably since the referendum in 2016, so it’s fair to assume they will continue to do so as the value of the pound plummets. If we have to start paying import duties to cover the cost of those blue passports, then running an independent record label will become even less viable than it already is and, let’s face it, vinyl will probably start slipping down in people’s list of priorities below such things as food and vital medical supplies.

Faced with this potential dead end, we panicked and came up with the most irrational solution possible – pressing more vinyl in one year than we ever have before. If we go down, at least we will go down fighting (and drowning in debt). The Sonic Cathedral Singles Club is a shamelessly self-indulgent, 11-course final meal as we await our destiny on Discogs death row.

But this isn’t just a petty protest or a confused cry for help, it’s also about generating cashflow. One of our main influences for doing this is the classic Sub Pop Singles Club, which ironically relaunches later this year; there’s even a nod to this in the design of the outer sleeves. They were always explicit about their motivations as they demanded that all the losers “SEND US YOUR MONEY”. If you send us yours, we are hoping that it will help to keep the label ticking over and stave off the inevitable for a bit longer; after all, there are some great new releases by the likes of Mark Peters, Moon Diagrams and more already planned for this year.

It will be nice, too, to generate the cash for ourselves for once, rather than propping up Discogs sellers and eBay flippers. (To stop these people getting involved and ruining everyone else’s fun, anyone who subscribes more than once will be refunded and blocked.) Yes, of course we’re probably playing into their hands, as for once this is all about making manufactured rarities, but not in a cynical and barrel-scraping Record Store Day kind of way. The Sonic Cathedral Singles Club, like the label as a whole, is a carefully curated labour of love and these 7”s are keepers.

There’s a beautiful symmetry to all of this, too. We started out as a 7” only label, and these 11 new singles mirror the initial 11 releases on Sonic Cathedral between 2006 and 2008, as we found out the hard way how the music industry really works. The first ever release on the label was The Tamborines’ ‘Sally O’Gannon’; the first release on the Sonic Cathedral Singles Club is ‘Morning Chimes’, the debut single by Buffalo Postcard, the new band formed by ex-Tamborines frontman Henrique Laurindo. There will also be plenty of other reflections of those first 11 releases along the way, so subscribe now and keep your eyes and ears peeled…"

I just talked myself into buying Frank’s 7” singles reassuring myself he’s the only one who could pull me into this madness.
And now you come along - no, no, no.
Can’t do it.
Can I?

I need to be strong.

I wasn’t being too serious about the post.
Although Slowdive is one of my (many) favorite bands, I won’t spin 7” singles too much and I don’t think there will be enough as joyous releases as that one following. I could be wrong of course, but I can live with that.
Can’t justify spending that much right now, especially after purchasing new speakers.

But it could be a nice collection nonetheless.

The short answer, for me, is - Yes.
I have recently been co-opted into the Cult of 7". Its helped mollify my vinyl addiction and turned my collection of full albums into a more carefully-curated-must-haves/audiophile-collection only.

I still selectively purchase 7" and haven't joined Subpop's 7" (although I kind of regret it cause finding the new Subpop/Julien Baker 7" in the wild is going to be near impossible) or any other singles subscription service. But joining the 7" cult scratches the vinyl itch for less than a beer at a NYC bar while I hunt for the must have/white-whale to appear on the horizon.

This, Matthew Sweet Girlfriend 7" is a good example. Its not something I'll play often at all - but I love that album, its a cool find and I got it for $4 and held out for an OG copy of "Leviathan" (see what I did there...) instead of picking up a pretty, but 11th press version I found at the same time.

I only ask the question because I feel every collector should ask themselves it at least once a year. It really does help ground your habits and allows you to take a step back to understand again why you started collecting in the first place. My first few years of collecting was just mindless purchasing of rare variants based on the invisible hype machine. I've been able to take a step back from that mindset these past 2 years and am much happier with my collection as a result. Not being a VMP member the past 6 months has helped.

The best thing that VMP ever did for my wallet was raise the prices on their exclusives. So much easier to balk at a $35 single LP variant when almost everybody else in the game will have an equivalent at $10 cheaper. That hype machine has ground to a halt as far as I'm concerned. I've also stopped blind buying things (except for Colemine releases because of obvious reasons 🔥🔥🔥).

As for the 7" game. I do collect (and almost exclusively for collecting's sake) as many Colemine color 7" as I can and do have two of their wax mages (because the proceeds go to a charity). They don't take up much room and are pretty low maintenance, but I really don't spin them unless I'm in a mood.

I'm in the process of culling out some of my old VMPs that are, no doubt, cool variants but albums that I don't really care about in a way that requires them to be in my Vinyl collection.
