Depends on the release! Could be Pallas, New Orleans Record Press ..

❤️❤️❤️ They gotta sound good, you know?! ❤️❤️❤️

I have some @intlanthem.bsky.social LPs and quality of pressing is so good they make me feel (briefly) like an audiophile

Superb show by Makaya McCraven, Junius Paul, and Marquis Hill tonight! Review coming later this week

Shouts and love to the US Women's Hockey Team <3

These early pressings serve as the final check for artists & engineers to assess sound quality, surface texture, and fidelity. Scarce and sought after, each one holds an intimate record of calibration: the moment when music shifts from studio experiment to cultural object: tinyurl.com/yk9tuhp6

... learn, and contribute to IARC’s decision-making on whether to approve records for mass production.

Test pressings occupy a rare place in vinyl history, produced in only a few copies before mass production begins, they exist at the intersection of process and artifact.

Not only will it be a sneak preview of as-yet-unannounced releases, but this intimate gathering will also include open discussion and quality analysis of test pressings, where you are invited to take part in the review process ...

Friends in the beautiful city of Chicago, USA !!
Please join us for a special Sunday edition of Listening Hours on Sunday, March 1st from 3 - 5 PM at our HQ, The Land School. We will review vinyl test pressings for upcoming albums through high fidelity stereo components:

It’s a darkly cinematic take on the ambient ideal for the scarcely visible slow-moving night train chug. You can almost see it roll by.

Listen to “laundry | blood” and preorder BODY SOUND on limited edition *Grapefruit* color vinyl, classic black vinyl, or CD today: linktr.ee/intlanthem

“laundry | blood” begins with a near-waltz percussive tumble created by a tape loop of Kohl’s barrette-prepared cello. Its soft and eerie triplet propels a deep and snarling viola-cello-violin drone forward à la the doomiest moments of the Berlin School canon.

Today the trio of 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝗟𝗶𝗮 𝗞𝗼𝗵𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁 share "𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝘆 | 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱," a new single from their upcoming debut album 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃, out on LP/CD/DD 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

PREVIEW + PREORDER: linktr.ee/intlanthem

black vinyl LP playing with album sleeve behind sleeve features a painting of a purple flower with vines & leaves against a creamy beige background. The artist's name appears in the bottom left corner, with the album title underneath that.
