vinyl is back!

that's right! we're pressing 7" vinyl splits to give a little nod to the hey day of indie-rock (remember sub-pop's singles club?). what's different about ours is we're marrying old-school with new-school. we'll release vinyl split singles for our fans and true audiophiles who prefer the warm sound & sweet crackle of vinyl (yes, there is a difference), but also make the vinyl mastered tracks available on itunes for those who prefer digital releases.

all singles (45 rpm) will be pressed on the highest quality vinyl for excellent sound reproduction, have a small hole, and feature original sleeve art designs. all 7" vinyl will have a very limited pressing (only 500 hand-numbered copies worldwide) so these are sure to become prized possessions in any collection.

we're proud to announce our first two 7” vinyl splits:
