My love for vinyl is becoming somewhat of an obsession. There’s something about holding a record and appreciating the artwork that truly appeals to me. It’s like some people I know who are proud collectors of VHS or cassette tapes. We all have our little hobbies and this just so happens to be mine.
Another passion of mine is music, which is probably a pretty obvious statement but I have to make it clear that I really love music. Give me a suggestion and I’ll try it out, simply because I crave hearing new things.
A band that I was recommended a few years ago and have since become a huge fan of is Australia’s alt/prog rock band Karnivool. I started with Sound Awake, moved back into Themata, and then got drawn into the stunning Asymmetry.
So when the band announced that they’d be finally releasing their albums on vinyl, I kinda screamed in joy. These were albums that I’ve been wanting to own on wax for a while. And on December 26th, I get to pre-order them all so that I can receive them in April.
The albums will be re-mastered on 180g 2xLP with gatefold sleeves and lyrics printed on the inside. Pictures of the records can be seen below.
