LTD012: 10x16" poster designed and printed by Jeremy Ferris (jeremyferris "dot" bigcartel "dot" com // droppedintothesand.tumblr.com), numbered edition of 45.

NOTE: Posters ship rolled in a tube and need to be shipped separate from any tapes or other items ordered. The "additional item" shipping price is lower because it's much cheaper to ship two posters together in case you'd like to buy more than one. If you're ordering a poster in addition to tapes or any other merch items, please either add the poster to your cart first or do it as two separate transactions. Thanks!

about

Lily Tapes & Discs mainstay The National Park Service returns with his most declarative and expansive work yet - "June/The Seagull" picks up right where NPS’s amazing 2013 album I Was Flying left off and takes us soaring over the canyon through clouds of bells, coasting along on a deceptively simple guitar line that opens up into a full-band clatter before letting us back down. From this point on it’s all about the slow landing and the afterglow. Helping us down on the reverse side is Lung Cycles’s "Country Poem (take 2)", a more meditative and restrained take on the tape collage sound that defined Squanto’s Basement Tropic. Zoomed in and zoned out, like whiplash in slow motion. An acid-dipped walk along the river at sunset.

The eleventh official release from Lily Tapes & Discs. Released in an edition of 50 pro-dubbed chrome tapes. Packaged in Brad Paks from Stumptown Printers with artwork designed by Ben Lovell and printed by Jeremy Ferris (droppedintothesand.tumblr.com // jeremyferris dot bigcartel dot com), numbered and assembled by hand here at LTD Headquarters.

One Thing by Fish Hunt and Julie by Kitchen are my other absolute favorites off of this album. I keep going back to these and get overwhelmed with emotion every time I listen; they're all sorrowful yet beautiful and really get my heart aching. This is the kind of music I find myself getting lost in. Incredible album overall. Perfectly made for the melancholic. Maya Parker

There is a moment, four minutes into K1, where the dense haze breaks and you're granted a delicate, beautiful respite. It lasts half a minute, and then you never hear this again. Moments like these, and the weight they hold, makes this simultaneously the most gorgeous and harrowing album I have ever heard. contrapaasso
