VHS Head - Persistence Of Vision

[MisterE]

well, after much mulling over i switched my preorder from cd to vinyl, and i dont even have a turntable, heh

 

i like the cover, and i just really dig what the guy does and feel like i can relate to the whole aesthetic of making new things out of old obsolete relics, and his sound, when it clicks, is pretty rad, so it just felt right. i'll get a turntable eventually

 

now i can only lament not buying ceephax's cro magnox on vinyl, which i was on the fence about

Skam are streaming a track called 'Mutant Nights'. There is also a track called 'Jealousy' - I've never heard it before. It sounds simply beautiful.

Shit, that track is funky. I listened to a bit of the other tracks on Skam's site and had to stop them, all this goodness has to wait until the release. Mmmm.

Jealousy is the 3rd track on the promo cassette... it's quickly become one of my favorite VHS Head tracks. There's a really nice music video to go along with it if he decides to release it.

Great to see that he's not doing the same exact thing (as much as I'd completely eat it up). "Don't Look in the Closet" is wonderfully funky.

So the release is the end of this week. Is there going to be anywhere to get digital downloads of this? Doesn't seem like they are available to pre-order anywhere.

[fumi]

Boomkat has their digital release listed at nearly three weeks after the physical. I mailed them thinking that it might be an error.

I got this back:

 

 

This is Liam from Boomkat, thanks for your email. That's the right release date for the digital yes. The label, and quite a few others, prefer to stagger the release date between the physical and digital versions. In this case it looks like most shops haven't been sent the download copy at all yet. I'll double check this though, and if the download is going to be any earlier then I'll let you know.

Many thanks,

Liam

 

So I don't think I'm gonna be listening to this on Friday.

What was on those promotional VHSs?

[apriorion]

That's disappointing: I'm looking forward to this CD more than any other ones, at the moment.

[GraveGlitcher]

THAT artwork is miles better then the supposed, I hope they surprise us with this image as a replacement.

[dr lopez]

not that much better honestly

[Lesley]

LOL that latest pic is the best.

I didn't like the previous version or now this one. Actually, I can't remember the last time any band or artist produced a really memorable album cover. I don't know why that is.

[ZmillA]

thats not new artwork. Thats the back of the album/cd case. See here: http://www.vhshead.com/#!persistence-of-vision/cjt3

 

Oh and this news SUCKS!

[Guest Gravity]

Aww mannnnnnn, I wanted my VHS Head this week.

 

Soon.

[Guest Gravity]

They should release the digital version on the original date. :{

[Hoodie]

this is pretty weird. i've rarely seen release dates moved for albums so last minute.

[fumi]

Whole thing is a fuck up really because they announce one day before it's due on the shelves that there is a production problem. Who is manufacturing an album one day before release? That doesn't sound right at all.
