SUGAR CANDY MOUNTAIN - IMPRESSION

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A PREORDER! WILL SHIP TO ARRIVE MAY 28th, 2021.

www.MXDWN.com is premiering the first single today at 10am!

It's finally (almost) here! "Impression", The follow up to Sugar Candy Mountain's excellent "Do Right"!

Available in a few different configurations:
-Classic Black
-Ltd Clear Amber
-Ltd irridescent Green
-Ltd Hand Poured Swirl

"Impression" is a carousel ride through time with the Bonnie & Clyde of psych-pop, where classic meets contemporary. Sugar Candy Mountain gallops seamlessly from tripped out Tropicália, Shuggie Otis inspired grooves, kaleidoscopic psych jams, classic 70's reverie, and nods to krautrock without ever skipping a beat. Along the way Reiter's honeyed voice hovers seductively between breaking and beauty, taking us on a sensational ride through the ups and downs of apocalyptic visions, tender sunlit musings on love, and deep gazes of self reflection. RIYL: Os Mutantes, Tame Impala, Stereolab, The Beatles

Great album. Terrible color variant.

I hate it when anyone - but Newbury is a particularly regular offender - issues an awful color variant of a good album.

Pinwheel is the Fruit Cake of the vinyl world.

I just got the blue one from their Bandcamp which I think matches the artwork better. Great sounding record and the jacket has some nice gloss accent finishes

Yeah, completely agree. If people are looking for a colored vinyl pressing of any Thrill Jockey releases they are best checking out the artist Bandcamp or the TJ web store. They frequently go out of print but it also seem like Thrill Jockey almost always represses their titles and most are under $20 nothing against Newbury if that’s their jam but Thrill Jockey colored pressing are pretty great.

Edo.G & Insight Innovates (LP)

PRESSED ON OPAQUE BLUE VINYL Edo. G & Insight Innovates deliver that raw, jazzy, and true-to-life hip-hop on their self-titled debut album. It’s the culmination of decades of friendship and collaboration, birthed from childhood memories and the early days of the Boston rap scene. And with this...

Never been a fan of picture discs. I’ve also heard they don’t usually sound too good. Is that true?

Correct. If your buying an album for listening you’ll want to avoid picture and glow-in-the-dark vinyl. If you are buying for novelty both can be fun and collectible. The frustrating part is when an act only puts out a picture disc then you really have to do some soul searching if you want to actually listen to the music on the release.

Even still every one is different, some can sound alright while other will sound like garbage. None will likely sound great though.

I can report that my O Brother Where Out Thou picture disc is on the garbage end of things. But, it looks great in a frame, and I bought another copy...a non-pic-disc.

Yeah, I have one die-cut picture disc single and one Glow-In-The -Dark album both are from the band Air. Neither sounds terrible but I still am much more likely to spin my standard black version of Moon Safari than either.

It's going to be a picture disc version of Opiate.

Curious whether you know that or it's speculation? If that's what it is, I'll stop thinking about it b/c I have no interest in picture discs or Opiate. The only Tool albums I'd buy on vinyl -- assuming quality master/press -- are Lateralus and Fear Inoculum.

Counterpoint (although your statement probably stands true more often than not): I had the Green Jelly - Cereal Killer Soundtrack RSD 2019 pressing. It is pressed by GZ and glow-in-the-dark. It sounded fantastic. I sold it because it is more of a novelty album for me and not something I listened to often. But still sounded really good.

But yea....pic discs. I except them to sound anywhere from acceptable to shit. That's not great.

Ah yes the classic Robert "Cure fans want to listen to the albums on vinyl? but they look so pretty with the art right on the discs!" Smith move.

I was joking because it's the most readily available Tool release and is usually <$10, so there's probably no one that would need that material on a bad sounding picture disc. But Tool is also aware they could move 10,000 $30 Opiate picture discs to their die hards.
