Very nice.

 

[dorian gray]

Awesome. Just listened on my shitty iPhone speaker. Can't wait to hear it for real.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Finally, an Agalloch release worth getting excited about! Doomcifer will hopefully let us know when it leaks.

It's gonna be weird/cool when I see it on the shelves at my local Newbury Comics record store. Agg, do you make out more by us buying it from a brick & mortar store, from online distro, or directly from you? I assume that I know the answer to this but probably not. The music biz is fucking EEIIRRWWDDSSs.

 

[Agalloch]

Honestly, being on a label, we won't make that much no matter where you buy it. It's just the way it is unfortunately. Glad you guys are enjoying it though!

And this is on a GOOD contract with only two members. I can't imagine what five member bands sharing 8-15% end up making.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I guess that's where touring comes into play.

 

[dorian gray]

That's why *I* tour

Are labels dying with the growing popularity of bandcamp? Seems like if you do your own recordings you can make significantly more money independently. Or are you guys in need of distribution/production assets?

We were actually making more independently with bandcamp, but the label certainly makes distribution of shirts and physical copies much easier, because aside from the band, I work 7 days a week and don't have a whole lot of time.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I actually saw your first CD at the local shop today.

 

[dorian gray]

Did you steal it?

7 days? Damn communist Russia.

The track is awesome, by the way.

Thanks man!

 

[Reign in Acai]

I think you're thinking of Jeff. Ken's the one who prevents thievery.

 

[J.]

Haha. Still do it on occasion. But not to independent stores.

Walmart is not independent
