Preorders sent out + First Vaka review online!

Posted in Uncategorized on December 20th, 2008 by admin

As of today, all Gathiens and Vaka preorders have been sent out. Many thanks to those who preordered - we truly appreciate the interest and support! To those of you who have not yet preordered but would like to, we will continue to sell these at the special preorder price (that includes the Gathiens + Vaka combo deal) until January 7th. Afterwards, we will sell these at the regular price of $12 for North American orders and $14 internationally. The release dates for both albums are as follows:

Gathiens

Europe: January 19th

North America/Worldwide: January 20th

Worldwide Digital: January 19th

Vaka

Europe: January 26th

North America/Worldwide: January 20th

Worldwide Digital: January 26th

If you want to get our releases through your hip local record shop and you’re in North America or Europe, you might be able to find them there. If not, pester the store owner enough and they’ll probably be able to get them in. Elsewhere in the world, our distribution may be a bit patchy, but ask and you may get lucky. If not, just order from us! :)

In other news, the first Vaka review of which we’re aware is available to read here! The review’s in Swedish, so those non-Swedish speakers will have to do with this quote from it translated into English:

“As a matter of fact, this soundtrack-esque piece of work is the best Swedish album I’ve heard in a long time.”

Woo-hoo! We’ll keep an ongoing blog of the Vaka reviews we receive on our myspace page (link at the top of this page) and add to it regularly as they roll in. We’ll be doing the same for the Gathiens reviews, too.

One last little tidbit of news - Vaka’s Karl Daniel Lidén has done an interview with the Swedish Close-Up Magazine. We don’t know in which issue it will appear, but we’ll post more news about that when we get it!

Keep checking this site for updates!
