Back in stock at Norman Records (the best record store in the UK IMO!) after the first allocation we sent them sold out in a day!

The lovely PITP label has allowed me to mirror the album on my own Bandcamp page, so I've made the digital album free/pay what you want until Christmas Day 2023.

Bandcamp announcement from PITP:

In 2024, the burden of inflation and soaring living costs is undeniable. For PITP and fellow labels in our ambient community, alongside indie labels at large, escalating production expenses, notably in vinyl production, have posed significant challenges. Recent updates from our pressing plants reveal staggering cost hikes, despite our best efforts to negotiate and maintain quality standards. Regrettably, we couldn't find a sustainable solution.

This marks the fifth consecutive year of price hikes from our pressing partners, surpassing our expectations due to skyrocketing raw material costs—a trend mirrored across industries. Coupled with escalating postal service fees, including a hefty 30%-50% rise in record mailer and other packaging costs, the situation is daunting.

Given these circumstances, we've made the difficult decision to halt vinyl production for the remainder of the year. Inflation and steep production costs have emerged victorious, albeit breaking our hearts. Nevertheless, we're resilient and eager to pivot.

For 2024, we're shifting our focus to premium packaged CDs and cassettes, partnering with providers committed to top-notch quality. We're exploring innovative avenues to ensure these releases are exceptional, with exciting surprises in store throughout the year.

While the future of vinyl remains uncertain, we humbly request your unwavering support. We're committed to keeping costs as low as possible, enabling you to continue enjoying physical copies of our albums.

With love,
Zach, Kevin, Cynthia, Nick, Drew, and James
