Strawberry Hotel - new album out 25th Oct

[aphasein]

Wow - sorry to hear about the delays for the physical releases. Really glad now I ordered the Japanese CD - shipped out yesterday from Japan, to Cincinnati overnight, and to my door in Orlando just before noon. Wild that that's so smooth.

The bonus track is almost 5 min in length and reminds me in an odd way of Trim through the weird lens of SH. Rough and experimental, has an upbeat twangy bounce and falsetto lead vocals with some broadcast-style vocals in background. Some unusual cheesy synth vocal pads that sound like basic presets. Still like it better than a couple of the album tracks and has a groove, but it's an odd one.

Thanks for the scans. All the other issues on Discogs have been addressed.

I've seen it get some lukewarm response here, but I have to say, I think "Techno Shinkansen" is an early favorite.
It's somehow of a piece with the rest of the album, and yet also manages to quote or reference a half a dozen other UW tracks.

For that matter, the whole album seems to be self-referential all over the place. It sure _seems_ to be intentional, but :shrug:.

Wanna hear Velvet Does. Curious what it sounds like, especially with an album like this.

Strawberry Hotel is now available for purchase at Bandcamp. However, there are 2 issues. First, Ottavia has been uploaded incorrectly (it's a 2nd copy of Denver Luna (acapella). I assume this will be fixed soon. The other issue is that it's only available on Bandcamp in 16/44 quality. The master recording is in 24/28 and is available at places like Qobuz, 7digital, HDTracks, and ProStudioMasters.

Edit: Turns out that bandcamp upload is an unauthorized pirate upload

Also to note how annoying the fact is that they had to make a 2nd account...

but please buy it when it is available. And I will take this down in 24 hours
