Winterpills on Vinyl (with your help)
Winterpills
All My Lovely Goners
For their upcoming release, Winterpills is looking to offer a lovely vinyl-version. Here’s why from the band:
Why vinyl, some of you fans may ask? Aside from the obvious plus in terms of artwork, and arguably the sound, releasing our music on vinyl brings the wispy, ephemeral nature of digital music these days back down to earth in something of real, tangible value. Something to see on a shelf or a table from across a room and it catches your eye. Something you hold in both your hands and open up, and explore, while the music plays. Those that love vinyl already know this; those that have forgotten may like to be reminded; those that have never known are in for a treat. Also, did you know that vinyl sales rose 39% last year – more than any other part of the music business?
If you’d like to help make this happen, go to the Winterpills Kickstarter page and pre-purchase your very own copy. $20 will get you the LP + download, $25 and the band will sign your LP, $50 adds a limited edition silk-screen poster (I happen to know that lead singer/songwriter Philip Price is also an amazing visual artist – don’t you hate people like that?), and it goes up from there which gets you more and more up to and including an in-house performance (within a reasonable distance from where the band calls home).

You are welcome. Least I could do for drafting way too many LPs from this blog! My Paypal account looks like the national debt ;-) I love the grass-roots vibe.
BTW, I’ll bet you’d like The Head & The Heart and The Smoke Fairies.

Michael,
Thank you for turning me onto the band. Didn’t know anything about them, found their albums on Spotify & Mog, listened, loved it and now look forward to some autographed vinyl. I also didn”t know anything about Kickstarter, what a great idea, so thanks for that too. This is what I love about your website, always learning something new.
