The Studio - West Coast

No Comply is like the best Happy Mondays song out there.

this album is pretty fun, sounds more on the space disco end of things to me

Don't know it this has been posted before, but a lot of the people here might like it. It is released on West Coast Recordings which Lissvik is a part of. Aron McFaul - Pallas Garden: https://open.spotify.com/album/6QOO0OUz93LvYFTH4cwYfS and here is a soundcloud link for those who don't have spotify: https://soundcloud.com/westcoastrecordings/aron-mcfaul-taverna-times

kinda underwhelmed by the lissvik album, nowhere near as special as 7 trx imo

yeah i prefer the flood of stuff he uploaded to soundcloud a few years ago

what Lissvik? is there a new one?

Thanks, I would expect it to be more on the club friendly vibe like the single for Smalltown Supersound, which I passed on. I've been listening to the Crepes album and the Embassy stuff a lot lately.

Is is possible to listen to the new album somewhere? Snippets?

Available to order via Smalltown Supersound's "Mail Order" - http://smalltownsupersound.robotmerch.com/en/razika/dan-lissvik/c-24/p-309?ref=cat

With "Few remaining" which I don't even know what that means but if history is any guide in the Studio/Lissvik universe?

Be quick.

Holy shit. $20 to ship to the US. That's the same price as the album.

I'm still bitter I missed that personal collection sale or whatever that was some months back.

Amen to the personal collection sale (that I didn't miss but missed just enough of...)

I hesitated because of shipping...until I remembered what happened when I was (very) late to first edition of "West Coast" on vinyl, to say nothing of stalling around the first pressing of "Meditation".

If it takes the sting out at all, per Smalltown Supersound's homepage: "Single LP with CD included."

So, there's that.

(Though if you can live without physical, there's always Bandcamp: https://danlissvik.bandcamp.com/)

Amazon has it for preorder but it seems that many indie albums go from preorder to back ordered on the day of release.
Amoeba offers free shipping in the US but I don't see Midnight on their site yet.

Apologies if it turns out the "few remaining" alarm was sounded prematurely/unnecessarily. Having clicked on all the music available in that version of Smalltown Supersound's shop, each has current inventory of "few remaining" which I take to mean either, like other labels around the world, they set aside a small amount of stock for themselves but the rest is committed to shops/distributors.

And yet, and yet: I'm still unwilling to risk missing out so I'll stick with the bananas cost of Norwegian shipping.

If you're up for rolling those dice, and possibly save a few dollars &/or cents, Bleep (which shows pre-order availability for the LP <i>and</i> CD) and Boomkat (pre-order for LP (only)) have it.

it costs me exactly $22.50 to send a record to Norway now.

International post is not the bargain it once was, in any direction it seems.

Italics not taking notwithstanding (tsk-tsk),

"...either, like other labels around the world, they set aside a small amount of stock for themselves AND the rest is committed to shops/distributors, or the good old trick of perceived scarcity of limited quantities to drive sales (but, no, not buying the latter)."

I'm going to be so pissed off if this shows up in the shops for $19 and I just paid $40 direct from the label.

7trx and the Atelje weren't albums? That HypeM blurb seems off.

Put West Coast on. Open windows, 77°, gentle breeze. Best ever.

hah yeah that's the only way i can imagine listening to this album these days. For years, it was my ritual "first day of summer holidays" album

Assuming no one's mentioned it already:

"G" is the shorter, more Studio-sounding (i.e., more guitar & organic-sounding percussion) remix of "Airwalk"

Album sounds fantastic, even better than 7 Trx and Meditation I think.

only listened to it twice so far, but i agree. feels more fleshed out and expansive than his other two.

on initial listen i'd agree this lacks the magic of Atelje and 7trx in particular, which I revisit very frequently. The closer track "T" is a thing of beauty however - wish it all had that vibe.

D is :D

N was the high point for me iirc

I'm enjoying this. He sounds like he's on autopilot. That's ok, though

autopilot isn't really satisfying

felt a bit like terje's also autopilot, also unsatisfying album

new atelje record this year? https://www.instagram.com/p/BHUdnssD_Zx/?taken-by=atelje_

#atelje #lp #2016

Smalltown Supersound sent a slipmat with my Midnight LP. Really appreciated it after complaining about the cost of the LP on pre-order. It's not a great album but it's good enough.

No telling how many copies of either in stock, but "7 Trx + Intermission" and "Meditation" are back in Lissvik's ATELJE shop (along with some t-shirts evidently sewn by Rumpelstiltskin): http://atelje.tictail.com/

New Lissvik track "Backside" up on soundcloud

Thanks sombrero

Looks like Backside is a 7" release, can't see where to order it yet.

Shop's got a a few Studio relative rareities back in-stock (including a vinyl copy of West Coast (2nd Edition) housed in a dinged-up sleeve).

https://soundcloud.com/northern_tropic/venice-olympics-snippet - the label which Lissvik is a part of.

Neat! Is there more info about it elsewhere?

Yeah, pretty weird there is no info about future release, buying etc...

bump, yearbook 1 is the best album

This thread is now ten years old :-(

new Atelje track "50/50" up on soundcloud and it's a pop song with vocals. pretty nice.

oh wow this feels more like "west coast" than almost anything he's done since

Nice

50/50 out today digitally, vinyl ep coming in August.

Is the Lissvik Archive available anywhere to download?
