VINYL UPDATE 1

So, my first vinyl purchase is Yeasayer's Odd Blood, which was a couple weeks ago. I pre-ordered Hot Chip's One Life Stand, which I have been quite anxious for because it also comes with a sweet silkscreen poster! Insound is awesome, they did the same thing when i preordered Passion Pit. Right now I am still waiting on my Beach House LP+DVD (Teen Dream), which better be in the mail tomorrow. i have also just recently purchased Beirut's March Of The Zapotec / Realpeople Holland at Avalon and I just ordered Washed Out's Life is Leisure is also on the way.

Here's what they look like and what songs I currently recommend. I will update the list once I receive them either physically or digitally. I think I purchased more than I had bargained to, so I will save my money and update a second time probably next month or so.

like beach house, this guy has a nice consistent sound so if you like my faves the others are a lot alike, in a good way of course. its hard to describe, like a lo-fi, summery, chilled-out Neon Indian-esk stuff.

Helvetica Red/Black





those are my strongest three of eight rough drafts. the red represents the swiss nature of the font. helvetica is amazing.
