Laminar Excursion Monthly

I was contacted recently by Jared at Flannelgraph Records. They are teaming up with Crossroads of American Records on a 3-inch CD subscription series that they’re calling Laminar Excursion. It costs $45 and subscribers will get two of the CDs every month for a year, and includes some kind of box for holding the discs. They’ve got some bigger names involved, including Damien Jurado, Richard Swift, and Saxon Shore, along with some lesser-known artists.

The price might seem a little steep, but it breaks down to $3.75 a month which is definitely affordable. And considering you’re talking 24 discs and it’s limited to only 100 subscribers, there’s a scarcity and uniqueness to it that hopefully will bring them some luck.

It’s cool to see young labels working together and trying something a little different. These two labels have also teamed up to release Starflyer 59’s debut album “Silver” on vinyl, which is pretty sweet.
