The gradient on the gold was a poor last minute decision, but otherwise nice.

The reviews editor of The Wire posted this one on Twitter this morning...

The DD one looks like a Trapper Keeper with stickers on it.

Glassine - No Stairway

No Stairway is an album comprised solely of manipulated field recordings taken from a Guitar Center... Danny Greenwald, working under the name Glassine, took samples from a couple of stores and produced a glimmering, soothing album from the results.

jjjusten's christmas present right there

Apparently there is another project using the exact same concept, maybe the cover art is better.

It's her other hand.

Would have preferred if she went all Chris Cunningham.

OMG I had a similar idea for a record, wish I posted it to "terrible ideas" to document it

I had sim idea but involving sampling bad bands doing soundcheck at the local place and then making something better out of it all.

For real. When it was first announced, it was supposed to be February 2015.

I had thought Simonetti, that thief asshole, was the reason they could be flaky as a label, but it seems like it might have been both of 'em!

knowing them it'll hit Soundcloud in its entirety about a year after it got a tracklist...so, December sometime?

Fuck you, Duran Duran.

from Nagel to NAGL.

SUPER not into that cover. Kind of hope it's not the actual cover. The TNT cover is one of my favorite covers ever, weirdly. But no dice with fella there for me

Joshua Abrams- Magnetoception

Noteworthy also because Abrams' instrument is the Moroccan guimbri, and the recordings are urban improvisation/gnaoua.

I love that Abrams cover (his last album was even better). They're fabric works made by Lisa Alvarado, who plays the harmonium on those albums and the band often play with the pieces behind them.
