June is here? Wait... where did May go? Crazy! Well,
May was definitely a whirlwind of insanity around here and June
promises to be at leeeeeeast equally as demanding, which is exactly
what we want! All Gifts From Enola preorders have been shipped out. All
Actors & Actresses preorders will be going out on Monday. And then
all the Constants preorders should be shipped out about two weeks later
(the band is currently touring Europe and has already received some
copies of the record, ours should be in very soon)! You can still
preorder it HERE
=) The tour dates are listed below!
In
between trips to the post office there's a couple very special trips
taking place this month. On June 12th we'll be in Kansas City for the
release show of Actors & Actresses "Arrows". It's been about 8
months since we've seen these guys (though we were lucky enough to hang
with Andy at SXSW once again), so we're extremely excited to be there
for that! Can't wait!
Then on June 19th we'll be in
Harrisonburg, VA for Gifts From Enola's release show for "From
Fathoms". That's also the tour kickoff for their mighty summer tour,
dates will be posted below, get out and support them! We're, of course,
super duper stoked for that. It's been almost a year since we've been
together, so we can't wait to see them, hug them. and watch them rip
through a set!
Then there's some exciting stuff coming up next
month as well, we'll talk more about that
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight NOW!! and follow them to keep up with the gang during their tour =)
DISTRO UPDATE!
We've got loads of new stuff in the distro, including releases from
Angel Eyes, Helms Alee, Gods & Queens, Torche, Melt Banana, Red
Sparowes, Growing, Pageninetynine, and lots more. Just click HERE
to check out the goods! Some more stuff will be getting added in the
coming weeks as well, including a load of titles from Relapse Records

***FULL US TOUR FROM SEPTEMBER 10 - NOVEMBER 7 : DATES COMING SOON!***
PRICE INCREASE =(
Well gang, we've put this off as long as we possibly can, but
unfortunately we're going to have to raise prices on the records pretty
soon. Of course, we don't want to have to do this, but the US dollar
just doesn't stretch far enough for us to continue charging $17 for a
double LP with upgraded, full color, heavyweight jackets and multiple
vinyl color configurations, etc. When the price of manufacturing,
mailing, distributing, and promoting everything keeps going up in all
stages, we really don't have a choice in the matter. We'll probably
just raise the 2xLP's to $20, they're currently at $17. The $3 increase
won't mean too much to you when buying a record, but it will mean a lot
to us and really add up over time and help us keep putting out top
quality stuff. If anyone has a problem paying $20 for a 2xLP, please
let us know. We want feedback on this before we do anything, just let
us know if you think it's fair, it's no big deal, it sucks, we're
greedy, whatever you think. We want to know, because we would love to
keep prices the same - but it's not making sense for us to anymore so
we want the transition to the new pricing structure to be as open and
honest as possible. We collect records too, we know it sucks to pay
more than you're used to. Hopefully everyone understands, but let us
know either way, please...
And that's a wrap for the June newsletter =) Hopefully you all have a
fantastic month of summer sun and outdoor events =) Don't forget that
fathers day is June 21st as well, so grab the old man something he's
been wanting but hasn't been able to snag! And again....Caspian
preorder in July! Woo hoo!
"Call
it space rock, call it art rock, call it progressive indie textural
mamma jammas. Call it whatever you want, but creating beautiful,
challenging, conceptual epics is something that appears to come easy to
Boston, MA's Constants. The courageously ambitious three-part exercise
in atmosphere and mood displayed within "The Foundation, The Machine,
The Ascension" is a haunting experience. It knows when to build, when
to change, when to climax, when to breathe and when to stop. This is an
album of such subtle extremes and tasteful intricacies that the further
you delve into it's many layers, the more lost you become and the more
rewarded you will be. Not for the faint of heart, this is a music
lovers album on every level."
All preorders will include specially made Constants buttons and stickers. All vinyl orders will include a download coupon that entitles you to a free download of the album in its entirety so you can have the music digitally as well. You can expect these to ship out to you by late June.
