Just a quick update on the upcoming availability of pre-orders for We Don’t Look Back For Very Long. Firstly we are very excited to announce that each CD package will include a printed copy of an absolutely beautiful essay on the EP by the wonderful Paul Morley. The CD release comes as a limited hand-numbered letterpress edition of 100 on beautiful 700gsm GF Smith board, custom made by Ian M. Hazeldine (AKA Antonymes) and expertly mastered by Wil Bolton. CD Pre-orders will also include an immediate digital download of the EP (15 days ahead of the official release).
Now for some important info – we will be making pre-orders available on the 5th of October and we will be mailing out to the Hidden Shoal subscribers list before the public anouncement. So if you want to make sure you get yourself a copy then make sure you’re a subscriber. It’ll be tight as we have 60 of the available 100 units available via the store. We’ll give you a heads up on the other 40 after pre-orders have taken place.
If you have no idea as to what we’re talking about then read the following and listen to the SoundCloud stream below. We Don’t Look Back For Very Long sees Antonymes reworking a track from each of fellow Hidden Shoal artist Slow Dancing Society’s four albums, casting radiant new light on the stunning originals. Across almost 30 minutes, Antonymes marries SDS’s glistening atmospheres to his own trademark ambient neo-classical minimalism, creating a completely mesmerising hybrid.
