GTB

i’m kickstarting “L.A. SOUNDTRACK” for vinyl! read why below or click through to visit the project page.

hey y’all - i know i’m about to bother you for the next month about this but this project is very near and dear to me and it would mean the world if i got your support or even your attention about this.

here’s the thing: from the album’s conception, i really wanted to make vinyl. like, really really. all of us at Collected are kind of psyched on that idea. over the last couple of months we’ve done a lot of pricing stuff out and throwing in some of our own personal funds and determined that we could at least TRY a crowdfunding campaign to get this out. we’ve determined that we need at least $2,250 to make this happen - that’s where you come in. we’ve set up a series of really nice rewards and merch to entice potential backers, and i’ve been hard at work designing every little bit of packaging for this project, from wax to tape to cardboard box.

if you’d like to pledge, you can take a look at the Kickstarter page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/collectedrec/la-soundtrack-on-vinyl

even if you don’t have anything to pledge, i would really appreciate it if you could share this so that it maybe finds its way into the feed of someone who would like to support this - every little bit counts. this is kind of a heart project for me and for all of us at Collected and we hope it makes goal.

TRACKLIST:

live set of hologram summer demos before the album was finished for a show on 6/27 at bizarre. recovered from a lost hard drive.

Mathiasen - october people cassette bundle (CR11) $8 + shipping (edition of 20)

our newest physical item is a beautiful blue cassette containing Mathiasen’s two 2014 EPs, october people (side A) and Moon Phases (side B). Moon Phases is comprised of cold and clear textures, woven together with field recordings and samples from jazz and classical music. october people is the antithesis, a warm and hazy synth-centric release perfectly suited for a jog through falling leaves.

It’s time.

COLLECTED RECORDINGS ON CASSETTE STORE DAY 2014 All There by All There GTB033 / CR8 (C34, dreampop)

A concept album, All There centers around a couple, vocalized by Maxton Stenstrom and Pilot Chmielarczyk, beginning to see their two-year relationship crumble over the changing seasons of a year. The album is divided into four sections, corresponding to each season. As the story shifts and evolves in the foreground of a changing environment, the sound and feel of the songs take new shape as well, reflecting the different environmental and emotional climates.

The exclusive cassette reissue in celebration of Cassette Store Day this year comes on a dual-color black-and-white cassette—painted white on side A and black on side B—with ink-imprinted tracklists on both sides, and a full lyric sheet behind the cover.

COLLECTED RECORDINGS ON CASSETTE STORE DAY 2014 Mattress Blowout Sale by Cassette Fighter GTB054 / CR10 (C?? [see contest below], experimental pop)

Cassette Fighter’s newest extended play, Mattress Blowout Sale, found the band slowly wandering along a winding road, away from their usual sound. The EP, which will be Cassette Fighter’s last before the release of their first full-length album, explores the sounds of acoustic ambience, surf rock, chill-out, and synthpop. Along the way, Cassette Fighter’s dual queer frontwomen offer an insidious hand to guide you through the Mattress Blowout Sale with instrumental interludes and spoken-word tracks.

Pre-order the digital EP on Cassette Fighter’s Bandcamp, and you’ll be eligible to enter a cassette giveaway! Just send the band an email at cassettefighter[at]gmail.com guessing how long the EP is in minutes and seconds. The closest guess wins a limited-edition cassette of the EP, with free shipping to the US and discounted shipping elsewhere.

The exclusive cassette release in celebration of Cassette Store Day this year comes on a transparent smoky cassette, labeled on both sides, with a full-color J-card cover featuring photography by ant.
