Excellent news for all Landing fans. Geographic North has announced a release date for the upcoming Landing full length. This is the band’s first record of original material in six years and will be limited to 500 copies. You can pick it up on 6/12/12 or give in to your collector paranoia and pre-order the record from Geographic North right now. I did.
Check out the video for the first single, “Heart Finds The Beat,” directed by the band’s own Aaron Snow. You can stream or download the track via Souncloud.
I would also suggest that any vinyl nerds check out the Geographic North 7″ subscription series. Beautiful stuff.
An inspiring interview / mini-doc on the late Ronald Clyne. Clyne designed over 500LP covers for the Folkways record label in a relationship that lasted over three decades. I have included a few of my favorite covers below but they only scratch the surface. Do yourself a favor and check out the archive of Clyne’s work on the Smithsonian Folkways website. You can peruse all the beautiful cover artwork along with some great music. It’s also a great way to kill time while you’re supposed to be working. And for those who like to hold something in their hands, Unit Editions put out a very cool newspaper dedicated to Clyne’s Folkways cover artwork a few years ago.
We’re pleased to tell you…the Brainworlds / Plosive split 12″ is available at Permanent Records in Chicago and Love Garden Sounds in Lawrence, KS. If you’ve been lusting for a copy, and live close by, then now is your chance. Support the record store!
Cool interview with Aaron Snow on Sloucher.org. Aaron talks about the band’s hiatus, their upcoming vocal-driven full length and our impending 12″ ep due this summer. Which, now officially includes an 18-minute mega tryyyp. Very exciting! Check out the interview here.
