PRE ORDER: Early Music 1 - Black Swan Network (Vinyl)

Vinyl LP pressing. 'The Early Music Vol. 1' by Black Swan Network is a collection of songs and sketches by Elephant 6 co-founder Will Cullen Hart written between the hiatus of The Olivia Tremor Control in 1999 and before the formation of Circulatory System in 2000. Side A features tracks from the HHBTM Records 7" singles club single and side B features 8 tracks from those same sessions that have been unreleased until now. 'The Early Music Vol. 1' tells a story of an artist working through a million ideas via a 4 track blending textures and tiny melodies pulling from ambient soundscapes and field recordings while working out tiny vocal melodies falling between the baroque psychedelic pop of his previous Olivia Tremor Control work and the long ambient minimalist passages of The Black Swan Network. These songs would be the blueprint for the start of Will's next project Circulatory System. These songs will feel different in each place and way you play them. The label heavily suggests listening loudly through speakers, through headphones, and once using the download card play them through your computer and in your car. Each listening experience will bring different elements to the forefront. This release is being pressed on black vinyl with no banding between tracks and being meant to be listened to as one continuous side. The album comes housed in a matte finish jacket with insert, download card and OBI strip. Limited to 550 copies.
