I actually got an ad for a limited edition WATT repress this morning with a 20% off code if that interests anyone
My email didn't come through until the 7"s themselves had sold out but thankfully there were still some merch bundles left. Last thing I need is another band te, but at least I like the design
I was a bit conflicted since it's $60 (with shipping included) for a shirt+7 inch but I went with the Geo Rose shirt bundle since the vinyl was sold out within minutes. Almost got the tote bag bundle with mystery items but I couldn't spent that much for mystery merch. Happy to support the band.
I just bought an individual 7” about ten minutes ago. Didn’t care much for most of the merch so I’m glad I didn’t have to pay more for that
It's kind of explained in the email they sent out. The higher cost is to supplement the copies that they're giving away for their currently unemployed fans. And also to pay their shipping staff decent wages. Maybe a sliiiight copout but whatever I'll pay it.
If we get even 2-3 tracks a year that would be awesome. I do wonder if future singles will have the same amount of dedicated merch and a 7" pressed. Seems like it would be excessive if done too often but then you have their weird unevenness of giving more attention to one song over another. Could always get another EP I think even if it's not the plan...yet. LP I'm less sure of since they seem to really be into this idea of small releases.
I had a chat with L.S. Dunes whilst they were at Slam Dunk last weekend, and that went live today for anyone who's interested.
LE 12" etched B-side single of Application THURSDAY X REVOLVER BUNDLE - REVOLVER SUMMER 2024 ISSUE & THURSDAY 'APPLICATION FOR RELEASE FROM THE DREAM' ETCHED 12" (Limited Edition – Only 500 Made, White Vinyl)
You sound disappointed. Look on the bright side: not long ago we had nothing. Now we have a song. Who knows what tomorrow might bring?
They’re just pushing the hell out of their comeback single I bet when they release more it won’t be promoted like this
