California-by-way-of-New-York quintet Big Tree recently released their sophomore LP This New Year on absolutely stunning “autumnal split color” vinyl (see a snapshot of the test pressing below), and we have a chance for one lucky reader to win his or her very own copy of the official release.
Big Tree was kind enough to let us premiere their new video for “Augury” from This New Year, a TVD exclusive. The rolling grasslands and beaches in the video are a fitting backdrop for the lush vocals of Kaila McIntyre-Bader and Anna Ghezzi.
Soul Step Records released this limited edition run of only 100 split color records, which are sure to sell out soon. The album, the Lexington, Kentucky label’s second release, is also available on black vinyl.
Soul Step Records has a unique business plan in that they can get your album on vinyl at no cost to you:
Soul Step Records wants to release the Vinyl version of records from bands who do not have the funding to get Vinyl pressed. We pay all the upfront costs of production and marketing, and once we’ve made our investment, the rest of the profits are split evenly between Soul Step and the band. A win-win for both parties, and the chance to have your record pressed and listened to the way music should be, ON VINYL.
For a chance to win this gorgeous, gorgeous record, tell us your favorite sophomore release.
Sophomore slump be damned. I’m going with the ultimate second release, Nirvana’s Nevermind.
The winner with a North American mailing address will be chosen a week from today, on Tuesday, August 7th.
