NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS FOR 2ND EDITION "I MISS THE FUTURE." LP

We've just started taking pre-orders on the second edition of MYTY KONKEROR's "I miss the future." to be pressed on white vinyl and available in early 2011. It's still too early for an exact release date, but we're shooting for late January. Head over to the MK store to reserve your copy.

Update: We just discovered that "I miss the future." appeared on IMPOSE Magazine's Top 25 Albums of 2010 list.

INITIAL RUN OF MYTY KONKEROR'S DEBUT LP TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT...MORE ON THE WAY

Photo by Petter SevaldsenThanks to this stellar review in OMGVinyl the other day, we got slammed with orders for MYTY KONKEROR's "I miss the future.", selling out of our limited run of clear, lathe-cut discs. Orders came in from all over North America, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Greece, and the UK. But we were able to meet all orders by extending this initial run with 30 more. Lathe-master Peter King has agreed to rush this second batch to us with only a 3-week turnaround. All but 10 of these are already spoken for, so go grab one from the MK store.

MYTY KONKEROR RELEASES THEIR FIRST FULL-LENGTH

It's been long overdue, but MYTY KONKEROR's first full-length, I miss the future. is now available from Twin Lakes. Recorded between June 2008 and February 2010, this record marks a departure from the band's earlier stripped-down sound as they've embrace a more expansive approach with the addition of lap steel guitarist Jon Schlesinger. The result is a Copernican meditation in the form of blow yr head off rock, sludge oozing from the sonic scrap metal this band is known for.  

Eschewing principles of mass-production, the band contacted New Zealand's Peter King, who uses his own custom-modified lathes to cut the records to what is actually a clear, kind of polycarbonate plastic. We chose to do a limited run of 30 this way because we wanted the album to stay as close to human hands as possible throughout the entire making of it.

You can order it on CD or vinyl here. The album can also be downloaded from iTunes, eMusic, or the Twin Lakes online store. Cassettes will also be available soon.

Here's an early review that appeared in CTIndie this morning.
