RSD '15 pt. 3

This is where I start hitting the online section of my RSD shopping. I've grabbed more online than I did in store this year. It's a shame as it definitely defeats the point, but most of these weren't available in my local stores and the heart wants what the heart wants you know? This is my first 7'' buy from this year, and definitely one of my biggest wants. 

Pianos Become The Teeth - Close - Epitaph Records - 1st press - White // Blue // Clear Swirl /1000 (Rsd '15) 

Pianos Become The Teeth are a band that have captivated me from day one, and I've done my best to jump on every release early. This band were a big part in shaping my collection a few years ago, and so when I knew this was coming out I started to panic. It wasn't anywhere on the day in the UK, and all signs pointed towards eBay. Thankfully, Banquet Records got a few copies in, and although I missed out on the Every Time I Die 7'', I got on in good time to grab this. 

Back Cover // B-Side 

Everything about this record is perfect. Every time this band get it right with the artwork, giving the most simple image an incredible impact. The variant matches up nicely too which is always a bonus. 

Lyrics on the back cover. Normally I don't delve in to what is going on musically, but this record is beautiful. Two incredible and versatile songs; recorded with the Keep You sessions that absolutely belong together. I streamed these songs online before grabbing it as I just couldn't wait to hear it; this band gets me far too excited. 

Stickered shrinkwrap. 

It was a real pain getting this record out of this, taking photos of it and then getting it back in. It's a weird OCD thing that if a sticker is on the shrink, the record has to stay in there (unless I can peel it off and pop it on a poly sleeve). 

Although you can't tell much away from the light, this variant is beautiful and there's a lot going on here. I've heard some people complaining about how thin the vinyl is, and there's definitely some truth there. However, it sounds great so I've got no complaints. The volume of records being pressed over this period is ridiculous, so I'm not surprised that this record was pressed this way. 

I'll keep on doing posts like this as they arrive. This is fast turning into my favourite RSD, some of these releases have been brilliant. And again, new material on RSD is what it's all about right?

Cheers!
