CELEBRATE CASSETTE STORE DAY WITH HFTTD!

Dudes, we’ve got 3 pretty rad releases comin’ at you on Cassette Store Day (September 27, 2014)…these titles will be available exclusively in participating record cassette stores on 9/27 (but don’t worry — if you can’t make it to a shop we’ll have some up for sale on our website by the next day!)

*ETERNAL SUMMERS THE DROP BENEATH
The latest album from Roanoke, VA trio Eternal Summers, originally released earlier in the year on Kanine Records (Vinyl/CD available on their website). This is the best yet in an already stellar catalog for these indie rockers, and it’s gonna sound real damn good comin’ outta yer tape deck. Produced by former Guided By Voices/current Nada Surf guitarist Doug Gillard.

*MARSHMALLOW COAST THROUGH THE AGES
A band that needs no introduction, Marshmallow Coast was one of the original elephant 6 bands, and Andrew Gonzales has been churning out indie pop nuggets for a couple decades now. We’re pleased as punch to bring you this exclusive collection of Marshmallow Coast songs from through the years, picked by Andy himself! Sure to contain all yer favorites as well as some singles & rarities you may have missed!

*SLEEPYBEEF SLEEPYBEEF
An album made using only an Alesis Ion synthesizer and a Sony VAIO computer during a month-long stay at a friend’s house in 2007, Sleepybeef is as much an art piece as it is an album of music. With that in mind, this bad boy will be 100% hand made by the artist himself (TheDreamComparison), and the first 15 copies will come housed in a special edition handsome, glow-in-the-dark, 3D-Printed box along with a booklet of artwork. An additional 25 copies will be available, with unique screenprinted artwork in lieu of the 3D box. ***This release will be exclusively available on Cassette Store Day at the HFTTD bash at The Bazaar in Roanoke Va, and if any are left over they’ll be made available on our website the following day***

We’re still hammering out the plans, but there will be an HFTTD-led cassette party at The Bazaar in Roanoke, VA on Cassette Store Day (the only place you’ll be able to get the Sleepybeef tapes) with live music, sales and more! Keep an eye on the ol’ website fer updates.

Yay tapes!

More splendid tapes coming out for this year’s Cassette Store Day celebration on the tape label!!
