Pre-Order Thread

Did anyone ever receive their copy of mid air theif? Contacted their team but haven't heard a response in over a month
I emailed them a couple weeks ago and they got back to me about a week later they said they are moving as fast as they can to get them sent out. Then, about Wednesday of this week I received my shipping confirmation. Hopefully you get yours soon.
 
Not sure if I missed it here, but Bonnie “Prince” Billy has new music out today:


$40 for 1LP with a bonus 7”. Yikes.
 
One for our fellow Pop Tarts:

Oh I bought the 6 record bundle as soon as it was posted. The old UO My Everything has been on my discogs wishlist for a long time and despite having Dangerous Women, Sweetener, and Thank You Next already I wasn't hesitating for the whole set.
Im so pumped I only have to wait less than a month for this set.

Yeah it came to $193 shipped but worth it to me. Ariana is one of my favorite pop acts today and I love her whole discography.

thank u, next is easily my favorite of hers (still in my top 42 of the year, but on the lower end). I actually kinda like Dangerous Woman. I absolutely did not care for Sweetener, and especially her first two.

Goddamn. I'm happy that you enjoy her music. Really all that matters at the end of the day.

Thank U, Next is definitely her best work too! It’s such a great album and I’m glad I purchased that exclusive variant! 💎

Mmmmmm Sweetener was very different and sound and definitely more R&B orientated and it was very soppy, honey sweet in sound yet very girly if you know what I mean! But I really like that album! But of course, Thank U, Next is her best album. That album is like an 8.6/10 and Sweetener is like an 8.1/10 for me!

But yeah, definitely did not care at all for her first two albums as well! Dangerous Woman is a bit better, but I still feel like it has no identity and it’s quite generic too!
 
I'm digging this new one from Dias records:

PREORDER THE ALLURING, ROMANTIC SYNTH POP/ NEW WAVE DEBUT FROM RIKI

Riki is the Los Angeles based synth-pop outfit commandeered by the mysterious Niff Nawor, a visual artist and musician active in the deathrock / anarcho-punk scenes of the California bay area (formerly a member of Crimson Scarlet), before founding her solo endeavor as Riki in 2017. Niff’s desire to explore her own sound manifested in the recording of the Hot City cassette tape in 2017, which featured Chelsey Crowley of Crimson Scarlet, Skot Brown of Phantom Limbs and Peđa of Doomed to Extinction. Released on Commodity Tapes and later reissued on vinyl by the well-regarded Symphony of Destruction label, Riki followed the release of the single with several small tours and festival dates, performing with such acts as Light Asylum, Black Marble, and Trisomie 21.
For her self-titled debut album for Dais, Riki explores courage, physicality, and romance across eight timeless synth pop anthems. Produced and engineered by hardware-based synthesist Matia Simovich of INHALT, influences and ideas are worn proudly without deviating from fresh and daring electro-pop territory. Nostalgic cues can be heard ranging from Neue Deutsch Welle, early Adrian Sherwood productions, classic ZYX Italo Disco, Japanese Visual Kei and even classic new wave/pop like Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, and early Madonna.
The lead single, Napoleon, contains Riki’s indelible sound design, reminiscent of 80’s New York dance floor electro-pop that recalls the fusion of uptown and downtown styles and culture, told through Riki’s present day West Coast narrative.
Riki invites listeners to “reveal their useless habits of complacency and fear...and witness their own rebirth, a rhythm universal”
Album comes with a foldout RIKI poster, printed inner euro sleeves with lyrics, and download card. Package design by Niff Nawor, photography by Nedda Afsari.​

This has been one messed up pre-ordering experience.

I don't think they had an idea of the amount of pre-orders they would get, as Vol. 1 sold out pretty quickly - 2 & 3 followed up soon after - and then the original pages went dead - the shipping dates changed a couple times - the pages came back - other pages popped up along with the ones I ordered - the shipping dates changed again (this morning Amazon tells me I'll get Vol 2 on the 27th - 2 days after release date) - now the pages are dead again.
