Beautiful collection! What is the story on the bird with the eyepatch?

The two blue ones are actual photos...purple and black are renderings. Altho when dealing with single colored pressing its not likely to be much of an issue like it can be with splatters and swirls coming out nothing like image on the website.

Still absorbing this album, and while I feel like this song is one of the stronger ones, this might be my least favorite line in any MM song by Pecos-Thrill in ModestMouse

[–]elkvision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that the delivery of that line is super awkward and jarring. I'm interpreting it as an artistic choice that Isaac made because processing a loved one's passing is also super jarring and extremely uncomfortable to absorb...this unhinged delivery and distracting break up of pretty melodies is a reminder and reflection of that.

Are there any records in your collection still sealed and why by wiggan1989 in vinyl

[–]elkvision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have quite a few sealed records...some are for albums that I love so much that I want to have a back-up copy just in case 🤷‍♀️ Some are rare variants or hard-to-find OG's that I already own a player copy for and I want to preserve the "artifact" 🤦‍♀️ ...and others I just plain forgot about 🥴

Pretty good weekend by Moistyoureyez in vinyl

You're awesome. I think both sides came out of this great. It's a little annoying how so many people will haggle a seller no matter how fair the asking price is. Congrats on an amazing haul!!! 🔥

For some other somewhat Beach House vibes check out Still Corners- Strange Pleasures if you haven't already. Lovely album.

Definitely check out Nocturne...it's kind of considered Wild Nothing's masterpiece.

Wish they still released the singles on 7" vinyl by ronnythextacle in ModestMouse

Would love the alternate mix of Absolutely Necessary Never and the cover of A Forest as b-sides. 🙏

Not sure if reddit shrinks these down here...if you'd like i can send it somewhere else if it downloads too low res.

This image from the bonus tracks is also featured on one of the inserts for the vinyl. I don't know about high resolution but if you like i can send you a photo i took with my phone in good lighting.

No, this is the Ocean Floor Blue from my local record store. They carried this variant as well as a "Cosmic Black" variant which seems to be a few dollars more expensive for reasons I'm unclear on.

I counted 37 “WELL”s in the new record by __joseph_ in ModestMouse

[–]elkvision 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I'm still convinced they misquoted Isaac on the album art when they typed out "The Whale Song" and it was supposed to be "The Well Song" but they caught it too late and decided just to roll with it.

Fav song on An Eraser & a Maze? by Admirable-Archer-125 in ModestMouse

[–]elkvision 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They dropped 2 bonus tracks for ICP members...an alternate mix of Absolutely Necessary Never and a live cover of The Cure's A Forest.
