RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments:<\/p>\n
“As we’ve talked about quite often, all the band are big vinyl junkies.\u00a0 Travelling all over the globe, it’s exciting to see how many people around the world are becoming enlivened by this vinyl trend – as they should!\u00a0 Vinyl is finding its place once again and improving the way we listen to and enjoy music.\u00a0 Living in the digital age, we’ve begun to realize how much quality and sonic experience we sacrifice for convenience, and how much is gained from hearing a recording sounding closer to the product we (as musicians and recording artists) intended to be enjoyed.\u00a0 That said, we’re always excited to deliver something cool for Record Store Day, and this one coming up is one of my personal favorites.<\/p>\n
“With all the response we’ve received for the Manifest Destiny tracks, we’ve decided to offer up something special: a very limited run on 10” dual-sided picture vinyl…<\/p>\n
“Side A will be an inspired live version of Manifest Destiny Pt. 1, live from Gothenburg, Sweden, recorded on our last European tour, playing to a sold out theatre of very excited Swedes!\u00a0 Side B will be an acoustic interpretation of Manifest Destiny Pt. 2, mixing our love for Eastern and Native Indian flavors.\u00a0 Side B will also present the full length arrangement for my instrumental tune, Nava.<\/p>\n
“What more could there be, you ask?!\u00a0 Well, we had a friend of ours create comic book style covers for the front and back of the jacket.\u00a0 The front depicting Pt. 1 and the back depicting Pt. 2.\u00a0 This release is very close to my heart, and something I think our fans will really dig.\u00a0 Limited to only 1000 copies… So get ’em while the gettin’s gettin’!”<\/p>\n
