Pre-Order Thread

Normally, I am not one to be on the up and up when it comes to new music preorders. I wanted to share one with you I discovered and I hope that it hasn't been posted.

I recently preordered an album from a band called Beach Bunny. It's a lofi, indie girl rock kind of band but, kind of dreamy. I was listening to it and then a group called Lunar Vacation popped up. Really kind of dreamy but the lyrics are still really angsty. It's like Alvvays and think of a more poppy Soccer Mommy. Both their EPs are being pressed on vinyl for the first time.

Oof, I can't explain why but that album art is tickling the "chill beats to relax and study to" bone in me. Those colors, mmmm.

Wow, thanks for this tip. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of these people, I preordered that super limited split version.

If anyone finds an option to still get the Mono UHQR pressing of Axis: Bold As Love, please please please let me know.
I didn't want to pre-order from Acoustic Sounds (because of shipping costs and customs fees) back then and went with North End Haarlem because they got their pre-orders up around the same time. Sadly they're still accepting orders for the long sold out on pre-order Mono edition and they don't seem to know how many copies they'll even get (or if they can get any copies at all, imho)...
Unfortunately, I haven't seen a single shop selling copies of the Mono edition.

This is a bundle of the following three albums — ‘Skull Snaps’, ‘Bongo Rock’ and ‘The Gospel According to Zeus’ — that are among the most sampled records in the history of rap music. From drum breaks to shouts to basslines, these albums have helped write the history of rap music.

Both their EPS have been on repeat all last night. I got their “juice box” variant. Don’t know if they’ll rise to the Alvvays status but, it’s damn good. Glad y’all like it, too.

Played Artificial Flavors and the first half of Swell on my way to work this morning! I dig it a lot, really brightened up my morning. They sound like what Paramore thinks their last album sounded like.

Did you see the Amazon link @TheMythOfSisyphus shared?

Any Hendrix fans:

AP sold out but they must’ve given some to Amazon cause they have a pre order for the UHQR of Axis Bold as Love. I’m assuming the stereo since that was being produced as 5k copies. Mono only 1K. $35 more than direct from AP but people are flipping for 3x right now. I have a copy. Don’t hesitate. Get it. If you’re a casual fan, only if you have cash to burn.

Not really a pre-order but I mentioned Chillhop was planning some represses a few weeks ago on the old Enron forums that have finally posted.

L'Indecis - Playtime (Repress)

They also posted L'indecis - Plethoria (Repress) , Brock Berrigan - Point Pleasant (Repress), and a couple others all with repress in the title. It looks like they're limited to 500 each and the originals go for a pretty penny on Discogs.

Very patiently waiting for this to have a repress. Minus the fact that MPF said that the last press would be the “only one” :rolleyes:

I know there is a lot on angst against them but, this is a great album.
