Hallo, you might have seen this bandied about on the board and on some blogs recently but I thought I'd make a proper post, I'll hopefully get a pre-order link up for the LP later today so I'll make sure I post it up here.

The s/t LP is being self-released by the artists labels Bark & Hiss and Wagon in a run of 250 LPs on transparent red vinyl, w/ hand-sewn booklet and mp3 code. I'll be getting 50 copies for EU distro through my MIE label.

Here's what they're saying "An idea started at a summer party at Sam Goldberg's Cool Ranch house for a collaboration turned into a full-length album over the winter months in Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. Emeralds' Mark McGuire weaves his incredible guitar parts through synthesizers, loops, orchestral instruments, and singing assembled by Trouble Books' Keith Freund and Linda Lejsovka. Turned out just as awesome as we dreamed."

If you're in the States or Canada you can pre-order your copy already from http://barkandhiss.com/store/index.html.

UK/EU orders can be made on my site http://www.miemusic.co.uk in the coming days (I'll let you know on here)

For Mark McGuire fans who want to get to know Trouble Books better I'll be making a Trouble Books Acquaintance Kit with the two remaining TB releases not out of print for a super low price along with this collab LP.

Thank yee for your time.
