darkwave/shoegaze UK/Europe vinyl release
My band, Depth & Current, is releasing our next record in the UK and Europe via the Club AC30 label. It's kind of an experiment in brevity. 8 songs averaging about a minute and a half each, released on heavyweight frosted clear 7" vinyl. Release date is March 25. It's a "full length" record for a modern attention span.
Obviously a bit gimmicky... but, it was a fun experiment and it taught us a lot about who we are as people and as a band. It will definitely help to improve our songs and our process moving forward.
Here's the first song that's been getting some spins on BBC 6Music:

Thanks!
The label pressed the records in the UK. I'm not sure who they used. I should have some copies here in the States soon. I'll be able to comment more on the quality of the pressing once I've received my copies.
Even though the songs are quite short, we still had to sacrifice some overall volume to fit it on a 7". There's some pretty extreme distortion in the songs, so we chose lower volume cut at 45 vs. a 33 cut that might crap out with the distortion.

Oh yeah, pretty much all of the decisions were ours. We did artwork. We chose vinyl color. We worked with the manufacturer making decisions about the cut. The only part we were really left out of was approving the test pressing. And, that was just because of the time crunch.
As of right now, our deal with Club AC30 is just a one off deal. The label has expressed interest in doing more releases with us, though. I assume that at some point, if everything goes smoothly, we'll consider signing a more comprehensive deal with them and actually becoming a part of their roster.
Both the band and the label are looking at this short-run release as a sort of "how do you do" introduction to a UK audience.
