Record sleeve looks awesome ...

UK release date?

Its a terrible comparison and a perhaps unfair one but I think this album is going to be much stonger than Rather Ripped

I'm super-excited for this. I kind of love the artwork, as bland as it is. It looks cool, and fitting for the more stirpped down (from what I've heard... not listened to it yet) sound.

the official artwork?

Is that really it...???
If so, it would look so much better if it were all solid colour...

I think if it was white background, then black.

I prefer black background. It would be rad red-on-black, digipak cd case.
I imagine the vinyl will make me cream.

That too. Since it would be release in the fall, some light-dark colors would be suitable.

Here's how the artwork looks like (according to boomkat) and ordering can be done through Boomkat.

will there be a vinyl version of the album?

Hey everybody-

We've got a new jam on our page: 'So Messed Up.' We've been playing this thing live for a year or more, and working on recording it for almost as long. This is a work-in-progress version which will be on a compilation to accompany the new Thurston Moore solo record 'Trees Outside the Academy.' Thurston's record comes out in September so that will be your chance to have this artifact on a shiny little disk. In the mean time please drop by our page and crank the tunes, which also include some live action from the past year and one track from the first record.

Thanks,

Tall Firs

So a compilation is acompanying Thurston's new record - might be the killer package Andrew was talking about.

this is getting really exciting!

I can't wait to hear it in the fall. I haven't listened to it as much. Because I am waiting for the fall. This album will fit with the mood of the season.

If there is a compilation with Trees Outside The Academy, then it's becoming a more and more exciting package all the time.

Someone just sent me some pictures of the advance copy artwork. You can dl them here:

If the artwork for the promo looks that great I wonder how cool the official release will look like. Damn, I was thinking to get the CD and the LP. Now I have to try ebay for the promo too. Who do I have to sleep with to get that promo?

I like the simplistic booklet. I also like the picture of him.

"Trees Outside the Academy" Cover art:

The real art booklet has tons of thurston stylee originally laid out by the man himself.

The chip board package was a limited edition promo pre release type of thang sent to long lead press in the US and the UK. Printed by Manifesto Letterpress in our building in Easthampton, MA.

That pic looks pretty great as a real photo rather than just monochrome. Will it be jewel case or cardboard?
