Catbird Records Presents the Apollo Ghosts’ “Forgotten Triangle” EP and Special Repress of “Hastings Sunrise”

I’m thrilled to announce that Vancouver’s Apollo Ghosts are a welcome new addition to the Catbird Records family. If you’ve been following things at all around here, I’m sure you recall my endless glowing praise for their debut LP, Hastings Sunrise (full Listen@MBV stream here). So, when they approached me with news that they had a new EP and wanted it on Catbird, what choice did I have but to jump at the chance?!?

The new Apollo Ghosts EP is called Forgotten Triangle, and it’s 5 brand-new (and totally awesome (obvs)) songs, recorded at the Catbird-revered JC/DC Studios. Comes in a Catbird Mini-7 sleeve, with artwork by yours truly. 25 randomly selected orders will get a special limited-edition version, with photo print insert. It’s $5 on CD, or a mere $3 for a 320kbps MP3 download.

But that’s NOT ALL.

Being that they sold out of their initial pressing of Hastings Sunrise (300 LPs), I’m happy to tell you that the record has been repressed. And this time, in a beautiful 180-gram teal and white marbled vinyl. But there’s a caveat: this is a VERY limited pressing– just 100 copies (and we’ve only got 50 (our friends up north at Geographing have the other 50)). At the rate these things have gone in the last 18 hours, I don’t expect these LPs to last very long at all. So if you’re thinking about getting one, do it NOW. The LPs also feature a poster insert and a free download card, and will set you back just $15 (that’s practically a buck a song, considering Hastings‘ 14 tracks).

PLUS ALSO: being that Hastings Sunrise wasn’t even originally available on CD, we’ve taken care of that too. You can grab it on CD (in Catbird Mini-7 sleeve) for $7, or do the download thing for $5.
