Sybris "The First Three Albums"
ALBUM FACTS :
DESCRIPTION :
These Chicago alternative rock titans are finally seeing their whole catalog released on vinyl. Since reuniting in expecattion of these releases, Sybris has played the famous 8k attendee Dark Lord Day festival twice, two Chicago street fairs to packed blocks, and supported Local H (on NYE) & Yakuza with a tour and more shows to come. Their album release show for both the new Gold on Hold and the box set will be at the world famous Empty Bottle. The set includes 3 LPs on anniversary silver wax, including 2005's self-titled Sybris, 2008's Into the Trees, and their nearly lost masterpiece, the brand new Gold on Hold. GoH will be released alone on silver & gold vinyl, but the silver box set edition will be strictly limted to 300 copies. The box set also includes our unique box set ornament, a three-part item that includes a printed bookmark that slides between the top of the LPs, and a label logo charm and band ribbon, which dangle parallel to the record spines, making the sets on any record shelf visible from across the room. "F***-all '90s guitar jangle... pop-metal stomp... shimmering, stormy shoegaze. Mullenhour (has a) ten-story voice. Sybris's long songs, tonal contiguity, deliberate pacing, and infectious melodies are... just right. This band (is) so evocative of the thin yet distinct seam between indie and mainstream. " - Pitchfork "Wouldn't sound out of place on a mix tape next to Nirvana or early PJ Harvey. " - Chicago Reader Tour, appearance at SXSW, album release show at the famed Empty Bottle in Chicago. Extensive label publicity/marketing campaign including comprehensive hype stickers, "Listen to Me" QR code stickers on every release, an animated short, a label podcast, a magazine project that includes new issues of Option, Puncture, Magnet, & Chemical Imbalance printed and distributed to stores, and more.
