Great album and killer smokey wax variant!

SP&BB are an incredibly talented group of musicians. Paul Janeway has the ability to convey an incredible range of emotion in his singing, and this is what continues to make them relevant. The packaging and pressing of the limited edition Ghost vinyl is spot on, and the signed postcard and download cards are a nice plus. The record is a delight to see spinning on my turntable. The evolution musically of SP&BB is an interesting one, and "Alien Coast" is quite a departure from their first two records, stylistically and instrumentally, and only slightly closer to their last release. The album overall has a darkness, that unlike their first album, with "Grass is Greener," has a less soulful aspect, and more Cowboy Junkies vibe, i.e. depressing. While the songs are well crafted, the energy seems more subdued than previous releases. The instrumentation on the record is more electronic and less "organic" with the horns being mostly absent. It's an interesting listen, but not my favorite release of theirs.

St. Paul doesn’t disappoint. They continue to evolve and continue to push the edge. A little disappointing that it clocks in at just over 35 minutes but in those few minutes they can set a mood. The vinyl sounds great and the look is a fantastic addition to anyones vinyl library. Can’t wait to see them in Austin come April.

Another amazing album. The vinyl looks cool and the autograph card is an amazing bonus. The music is what shines the most as these guys continue to make awesome transformations in their music making journey.

Fantastic pressing. This album sounds great. Packaging is beautiful. Solid recording. This is a very interesting band - that you'll struggle to place in a singular genre. Paul Janeway is one of the most talented vocalists you'll ever hear. The music can be ethereal and it can also get funky. A+
