Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

I really like the Young Fathers record. Cut by Matt Colton. I got the white vinyl color variant from Plaidroom instead since it was cheaper than VMP.

How's it sound? I find the high res is hit and miss in terms of mastering/recording quality. Curious how the vinyl turned out.

I think the vinyl sounds solid. It’s a quiet sounding press and MPO did a nice job on it. Need to listen to it at a louder volume but been tricky to do so with the in-laws in town and the little kiddo. I’ll have to compare it to the stream but on first listen didn’t think it was wildly different to the high res stream. The overall mastering still has some of that distortion on some of the instruments but it seems purposeful.

I really like the album overall. It reminds me a bit of TVOTR. Need to go listen to their older stuff.

That TVOTR is EXACTLY why I like it. I'm dying for something new from them, and this is kinda filling that space for me. Thanks for the mini review, the only reason I'm going VMP is I have credits. Really like the two tracks from the new Yves Tumor release as well so I think I might also grab that one. Reminds me a bit of Bloc Party.

Yea it’s such a cool album and I do think I’ll spin it a lot. I gotta check out that new Yves Tumor and probably get a copy of Heaven To A Tortured Mind on vinyl. Kerosene was one of my favorite songs the year that album came out.

Didn’t one of the members of TVOTR die? I’d be kinda surprised if they ever release a new album sadly. They were one of my favorite bands in college. Saw them play at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple and it was an incredible show

He died before the last album. And maybe before the one before that.

Yeah he died after the second album I think? So that's not the reason they stopped. I mean hell I'd even take solo albums, ANYTHING.

EDIT- nope I'm wrong. 2011 same year as 4th and then they released a 5th 3 years later. Then nothing but they haven't officially broken up either.

I feel like every few years there’s an album that reminds me of TVOTR. Yves Tumor reminded me of them and now Young Fathers. agree though I’d love anything new by TVOTR.

I saw them twice on his last tour, when they were on the road with Broken Social Scene. I was surprised they did anything after. They had such great chemistry together as band. But I'd love another too.

Speaking of TVOTR, Either of you familiar with Kyp Malone’s side project Rain Machine? I wasn’t until tonight, I was looking through my local recent arrivals used Section online and came across it. Looks like he released a single self-titled album in 2009. It’s really good, worth checking out especially if your looking for something to scratch that TVOTR itch.

It’s weird how this stuff happens. It had a cool cover and was $14 for a 2xLP album so I figured I check it out and then I see you guys talking about TVOTR here. Kismet.

I got mine at the merch table when he toured for the album. It was at Neumos in that weird period where the fire Marshall really held the line with them.

And it was a mid week show, and I guess didn't sell super well. It's the only time I've seen them set up tables on the floor at Neumos. Great show.
