Rouge Carpet Disaster

 Yep, this is a post on a vinyl blog about a CD. But it’s pretty fun, and aesthetically it’s got some real nostalgia to it. 

Static Dress - Rouge Carpet Disaster - Self Released /100 

This was sold at the Static Dress headline show at The Underworld 30-08-22. Remaining copies went out on their big cartel after the show and sold pretty fast. The PS1 rip artwork is different to the standard release but honestly I prefer this. I liked it enough to buy it on CD, which I’m pretty sure is the only one I’ve picked up in a few years. 

Static Dress have made a bit of a habit of releasing small runs of releases on weird formats - from rave case style cassettes and comic books to USB sticks to VHS tapes. Chasing fun releases like this has way more appeal to me recently than buying new release records. Between shitty quality control and waiting 10 months for a record to turn up, I’m just not as enthusiastic for some stuff as I once was.
