Lily Tapes & Discs
Mailing List « Fluid Audio
one last quick thing before I disappear for the summer - in case the new Squanto album is released or up for preorder before I’m back, I recommend signing up for Fluid Audio’s mailing list if you’d like to be notified about when it’s going to be available. alright, see ya later.
spring cleaning reminder and summer stuff!
just a reminder that there’s still another two weeks or so to use the “springy” discount code to get 15% off anything on my bandcamp page so I can clear space for some new releases coming this fall. got some really exciting stuff planned including a split tape with Ligaments, a National Park Service tape, and hopefully a few more.
also, after june 15th the code will expire and I’ll be leaving to go do things where I won’t really have internet access for a while, so any orders placed after june 15th will not be shipped until mid-august. in the meantime you’ll still be able grab copies of most of my releases over in the distro at rok lok records.
Lily Tapes & Discs on Bandcamp
I’ve set up a LTD Bandcamp page to put everything in one spot - right now the albums just redirect to to the Squanto/NPS & Squanto pages, but I’ve got some exciting things planned for the fall that will probably require using it a bit more. I’ll probably need to reconfigure this site a bit at that point too. It’s also as good an opportunity as any to remind you that pretty much all of my stuff can be downloaded there for FREEEEE!!!
LTD005/RL74: SQUANTO - A GIFT & A FAVOR
Side A of this tape houses A Gift/A Favor/A Gift Pt. 2, a short suite of three songs recorded at home after work in the gray area between summer and fall. After I walked home from the train station I would open my windows and try to let some music into the room while I still could. On side B, there’s a demo version of a new song that I recorded at home towards the end of 2012 and an older song from late 2010. I recorded it live in one take in the dorm room that I was living in that year (accompanied by the bells in the library tower that my window faced) and then forgot all about it. A short collection of songs about the mundanity of giving up and going home.
This is the fifth official release from Lily Tapes & Discs, as well as a joint release with Rok Lok Records. Released in an individually numbered edition of 65 home-dubbed white tapes with hand-painted and -stamped labels and full color j-cards.
LTD006: “LILY TAPES & DISCS” T-SHIRT
Logo screenprinted on an indigo Gildan 100% cotton tee. It’s a thing you can wear! Also includes a download of Live at the Sealab 10/15/2011 because why not. Available in sizes S-XL.
If your size isn’t available let me know, and if these ever sell out and I order more then I’ll include that size next time. Or if you have any suggestions for a different color, shirt type, etc. I’m open to ideas.
With the drastic increase in international shipping rates this week, unfortunately I’ve had to raise international shipping prices on bandcamp as well. It bums me out to have to do that since of the relatively few mail orders I get, most are from Europe, but hopefully with the pound still pretty strong against the dollar this isn’t as hard of a blow on that end as it is here. I’ll be fine-tuning the bandcamp prices as I receive and ship orders. If I find that any of them have been set too high initially I’ll refund the extra and then adjust the site accordingly.

It’s been a pretty darn productive first year! I certainly wasn’t planning on releasing this much stuff this year but it’s been a pleasant surprise to see these projects come together as well as they did, to say the least. I also sold out of something for the first time this year (2011’s On Being Lumpy, still available to download for free of course), so that was cool.
Right now you can get all four of these releases plus a download of Live at the Sealab 10/15/2011 for just $20 plus shipping. Just click here or any of the above links to order. You can grab one of the two copies I still have left of Go Go Gadget Grass Stains if you want too, while you’re at it. There are all sorts of other order configurations and combinations you can go for too if you’d like.
I’ve got some exciting ideas and possibilities brewing for 2013, so stay tuned!
