this means if you just ordered a cd it will go in the mail tomm,

the preorder sets will ship soon, i am just waiting on the buttons that rok lok is making for us, which i am told were mailed on friday, so im hoping tues or wed i will have them.

in the meantime i am off to scour the interweb for some grouper vinyl before i pack up these orders.

tapes.

so i have been asked a couple times recently about the tape pressing and colors etc. so here is how they break down.

there are 50 grey tapes, and 50 white tapes. 25 of of each went to listen to aylin in norway, the rest are here and you can order either color from us or bear

then there are 50 red tapes, these are only available in the preorder deluxe sets, so if you ordered the set you will get a red one,
we have 4 left.

closer still...

we got the inserts today for the cd's, they look great, we also got confirmation that the cds themselves, and the buttons will both be in the mail tomm, so very soon they will ship.

in other news, we now have the vinyl and cassette versions of the new record, so those of you who just ordered either of those your order will ship this week, we have the covers for the cd version, we are just waiting on the cd inserts, and the cds themselves, both should hopefully be here sometime this week, as well as the buttons for the preorder sets, this means the deluxe sets may not ship until next week, sorry, i will keep you updated, also if you wanted on of those sets we only have 5 left so get your orders in.

and as you can see above we have new pretty sick looking saddest landscape and hbog patches, if you want a patch they are free with any vinyl purchase from either band, you don't need to do anything to include it with your order, i will simply just add one.

more updates to come.

just so you know we aren't fooling around.

here is a photo of the new her breath record, they showed up yesterday, so they will be going out soon, so if you want to order one please do so now, we are almost out of the preorder sets as well, seriously these are amazing looking,
also i only have one copy of the limited arigato version of the 6" left so if you want that....
exciting times indeed.

what we left behind.

so it has been a bit since we had an update, and with all the saddest landscape activity we figured it was time for some her breath on glass news, and oh its exciting.
we are pleased to announce the release of "what we left behind", here is some info on it:

Her Breath On Glass – what we left behind LP / CD / Cassette
we what we left behind collects her breath on glass # 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 11 / 12 . the CD version also includes her breath on glass #13, which is the live CD that accompanied the singles box set. With both the vinyl version and cassette each containing their own exclusive live tracks,

the vinyl version is being released by Bear records and is limited to 300 copies all on grey/black vinyl.

The CD version is a split release between Bear and Affinity Index records, all CDs are pressed on black poly carbonate discs (yup just like your old playstation games or what they froze han solo in). with elaborate full color arigato pak covers.
The cassette version is a split release with Bear and listen to aylin, there are 150 cassettes available on 3 different colors (50 of each).

There are also 50 preorder sets being made that contain all three formats as well as some extra goodies, these are only available direct from the band or bear records.

Also affinity index will have a limited number of the CD version with a special outer slip cover.
As far as what it sounds like, pretty much just like the last record, or as ifb puts it: Expect solid noisy 90's style emo with pained vocals and raw, visceral guitar and drums. Features members of the saddest landscape, that seems about right.

as for the preorder package here is that info:

her breath on glass – what we left behind limited preorder version,
all 3 formats contained in one elaborate sewn fabric cover, also comes with a special button and magnet set, and additional insert, all will be personalized and are #d of 50.
