Empty Country - Empty Country (early 2020) Album • Page 11

Yep, finally pulled the trigger on this tonight. Wanted the blue variant, but wasn't sure if he's get more from Bandcamp, so I grabbed the white from there.

 

did any one else order the green/clear one on bandcamp day and get emailed from them asking to either wait for that variant or switch to white or blue?

 

I ordered the blue on March 20th and it’s not supposed to ship until May 8th. Not sure what’s going on there

 

where'd you see a ship date?

 

On the email confirmation from the order there is a link towards the bottom to “check your order detail page” which brought me to the ship date, etc

 

oh thank you. weird, it didnt have a date when I looked the other day.

 

I ordered last night and also got a ship date of May 8th. but I just got a notification that it is on the way

 

Just got my vinyl today. White variant.

 

How does it sound? I'm always a little hesitant about white vinyl, but I ordered the same.

 

I mean it’s fine. A lot of these contemporary artists on indie labels really don’t put much into the vinyl. It’s basically like getting a CD on wax. But I’d rather buy physical media and support than not. And records are my preference.

I think Jagjaguwaur is usually the absolute worst. I’m not sure where they get their stuff pressed but lord. Basically every Bon Iver record I have sounds like shit compared to a lot of the stuff in my collection.

 

i think that like most of the vinyl production was probably handled by tiny engines and as such the vinyl just sounds like ok. it's not important to me that it sound all that good because like it's vinyl but it's definitely nothing special in that department.

 

:)

 

mine now says ship date of July 8th so who the hell knows

 

oh yes. feed us Joseph

 

wow, first thing I'm buying on bandcamp day 2

 

smh no Becca

 

maybe "Becca" was just so perfect that he recorded the album version in one take, no demo

 

goddamn "Andi" is instantly one of the best songs from this project

 

damn new songs r great, can't wait to get to know them more. god yes I fully admit I'm dumb but I am so happy to have slightly shittier recorded versions of these songs

 

I'm still on my first listen so I didn't notice this, wtf. this is a tragedy

 

there was an instrumental called "Rebecca" on the empty country bandcamp before any announcements and such

it's often stuck in my head, wish I'd saved it

 

two new songs are very good

 

Andi sounds like some RAGC. Love it

 

oh interesting, there's no Becca demo bc it was written ten min before the studio, according to his insta

 

imagine writing the best song ever in 10 minutes before going into the studio
