They correctly assume a bunch of people who want to hear this won't be able to afford it right away, probably won't be left as PWYW for long
That's true. It's a hard situation to navigate right now. They will probably lose money on it but it will get to more people's ears.
It's also because bandcamp will be waiving their fees for tomorrow, so whatever people are able to pay will go directly to them, even if it's less than the usual amount for an album.
They’re very generous. I like this model when I’ve seen other bands use it and hopefully it is successful for them.
Wondering what sort of release window there'll be for this/how many variants - preordering for a July/August release isn't something I can do rn especially with having to pay for shipping from the US.
Awesome! I'm interested to hear how they're handling going fully independent in these times. It seems like it's freeing them up to do things when and how they want and to pivot and change plans quickly, but it's also got to be at least somewhat difficult not having that label backing.
Between this and Gleemer coming out at midnight, I have no idea what to do with myself. Two of my most anticipated releases in a very long time on the same day is sick.
I typically don't get heavy records on vinyl because it's just not something I ever really have an opportunity to play out loud at home. Tempted here though.
The production on You and I is phenomenal. Vinyl would take it to a whole 'nother level. There's something about the format that sounds so spacious compared to others, this album in particular would benefit from it greatly. Why'd I sell my turntable
