The distro section of LNA is more or less up and at ‘em. Some of the new stuff will be up in the coming days, but all Transparent releases are up but are in limited quantities so act quickly! I’m trying to catch up with all the great records streaming out right now, so distro adds will be happening often. As bountiful and commonplace as Boy Scout potlucks.

As of right now the Forest Swords and Pure Ecstasy tapes have gone out of print. If you strongly desire a copy there are a couple distros that have both tapes and a few odd ones may turn up in random boxes etc. just get in touch. Be sure to buy Pure Ecstasy’s new 7″ out now on Light Lodge and keep your eyes peeled for the Forest Swords 12″ set to drop on Olde English Spelling Bee any day now. It has remastered, blown out versions of ‘Miarches’ and ‘Hoylake Misst’ on it that will make your innards rumble with joy. Like you just ate a huge turkey leg of soulful dubbed-out peninsula pop bliss.

Keep your eyes peeled for some sort of Valentines Day special but be warned this one isn’t for happy couples. It caters specifically to heartbroken Belle & Sebastian fans who now listen to ambient music so there is never silence which constantly reminds them of their loneliness. Maybe thats just me, but you’ll get some dank tapes for minimal scrilla.

LNA has two special projects upcoming that are super, crazy exciting. It is very difficult for me to contain this excitement but I must until all the details are hammered out and confirmed. One involves a major ambitious fanclub of sorts and the other is an inventive visual art meets music kinda thing. Its so hard for me not to spill.

That aside, we have a number of co-releases forthcoming I want to talk about. First will be a collaboration with the divine Friendship Bracelet on a cassette release for the sparkling Boneless. The next is another cassette collaboration with Calypso Hum on a tape for a fine young gentleman by the name of Carter Mullin. Its a c30 of ambient perfection. The third is a collaboration with Black With Sap, a label run by my two favourite dadz ever, and we are working on the super secret fanclub project. Don’t worry, it isn’t a shitty LNA fanclub or some bullshit.

Thanks for being golden.

Fondly,

Alex//LNA

P.S. Attention all citizens of Europe! All LNA tapes will soon be avail. from the superb Bis Auf’s Messer online as well as instore in Berlin. Buying from them will be much more prompt as they probably ship like… immediately and they have far less distance to travel. Yay!
