PRESS

“You're torn over what captivates you most — the gorgeous compositions that carry you straight to the Brazilian coast, the assured, flawless performances, or a recording quality that will satisfy even the sharpest critics. Probably all three, which is why this album will be treasured from now on. In short: an album that seems to appear from nowhere — and one you just want to embrace.”

German ·“Man ist hin- und hergerissen, was einen beim Genuss des Albums mehr fasziniert. Sind es die herrlichen Kompositionen, die einen sofort an die brasilianische Küste versetzen? Ist es die stilsichere und tadellose Performance der Musiker oder die Aufnahmequalität, die selbst kritischste Geister vollends zufriedenstellen wird? Vermutlich sind alle drei Aspekte daran beteiligt, weshalb man dieses Album fortan hüten wird wie einen Schatz! Fazit: Praktisch aus dem Nichts taucht ein Album auf, das man umarmen möchte!”

— Ralf Henke, LP, 4/2026

Before you buy

  • 01What does AAA / all-analog mean on your records?
    Every step is analogue. The performance is captured live to 1/4" tape with no multitrack, no digital conversion at any point in the chain. The tape is played back, cut to lacquer on a mastering lathe, and pressed to vinyl. Nothing is digitised, quantised, or restored between the microphone and the groove — what you hear in your room is the same signal the room contained.
  • 02Why Pallas pressing and 180 g vinyl?
    Pallas in Diepholz, Germany is one of a handful of plants where the operators still measure and reject records the way a bindery rejects a bad book. 180 g gives the groove more depth to work with — quieter surfaces, better tracking, and a stiffness that resists warp over decades. It is not a luxury spec; it is what allows the mastering to survive the trip from lathe to your stylus.
  • 03Where do you ship, and how much does shipping cost?
    We ship worldwide. Within Sweden, tracked LP shipping runs roughly 79 SEK. Within the EU, roughly 189 SEK per record with tracking. UK, US and rest of world, 289–389 SEK depending on destination. Multi-record orders combine at a lower per-item rate. Exact charge is calculated at checkout on the release page.
  • 04Customs and duties — what should I expect?
    Inside the EU: no customs, no duties, VAT included in the price shown. UK: post-Brexit import VAT and a small handling fee apply — usually £15–25 total, collected by the courier on delivery. US and rest of world: import duties depend on your country's threshold. We declare records at their true value and never mark parcels as gifts.
  • 05What happens when a title sells out?
    Sold out means the current pressing has sold through. We do not announce represses in advance, but they remain possible. If a title interests you, request an allocation on the release page and we will notify you if copies return or a new run is planned. Occasional second-hand copies appear on Discogs.
  • 06Returns and defects.
    If a record arrives damaged, misspressed, or with an audible defect, write within 14 days and we will replace it or refund at your choice, shipping paid both ways. Change-of-mind returns are accepted within 14 days on unopened, still-sealed records — you cover return postage.
  • 07How do newsletter subscribers get first access?
    Subscribers receive a test-pressing alert roughly 48 hours before a new title opens to the public. That window is enough to reserve a copy at the announced price before the edition begins to move. On sold-out titles, subscribers are the first to see returns and second-hand copies as they surface.
