Just wanted to check in and share some updates.

1.) UPDATE: The vinyl for Dead Leaf Echo’s ‘Milk.Blue.Kisses.And.Whatlebone.WIshes’ is IN PRODUCTION. We know there are usually delays in the manufacturing process we’re always sorry for the wait.

2.) UPDATE: The cassette issue of Kempt’s ‘Blissing?’ is IN PRODUCTION.

3.) We’re out of stock of the vinyl edition for Rosegarden Funeral Party’s ‘MARTYR’ LP. Would you be interested in a re-press?

4.) All outstanding orders have been shipped and tracking updated.

5.) We’re awaiting the masters for the next release in our catalogue and reviewing some considerations that have been sent or way.

6.) Perhaps some new label merch? Looking at enamel pins, tote bag, and shirt options.

Our good ol’ friend Dave Cromwell (DaveCromwellWrites) dished out a tasty review of the latest offering from New York rockers, Dead Leaf Echo.
Read about what Dave has to say about ‘Milk.Blue.Kisses.And.Whalebone.Wishes’

“Opening cut “Milk.Blue.Kisses (Foil in Motion)” dives right in with swirling guitars, hard-edged bass and deep-echo stare drum shots, forging the same impeccable slow-build pageantry The Cure so masterfully generated on their “Disintegration” album.”

Although the pandemic has impacted most of us in many different ways, it’s not exclusively the ‘reason’ behind manufacturing delays for vinyl records.
