Temporary Residence LimitedNEWS: SEPTEMBER 2008Our air conditioner broke, but there's no time to deal with that. Too much news, too much new music! We'll just have to fan ourselves off with all this luxurious colored vinyl...until you scoundrels buy it right out of our hands! We mean that in the best way, it's a term of endearment! Seriously, scoundrels, buy that shit right out of our hands!
NEW GRAILS PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW!!!Finally, the eagerly-anticipated new Grails album, 'Doomsdayer's Holiday,' is available for pre-order! By far the darkest and heaviest Grails record ever, 'Doomsdayer's Holiday' is available in two distinct cover designs. Both feature a slightly obscured view of a mysterious young woman, albeit one more controversial than the other. We know you folks love a good controversy, so we're keeping Cover Design #1 exclusively available here in the webstore. You will not be able to get this one in stores; only Cover Design #2 will be available in stores! Also exclusive to the webstore is the fancy colored vinyl (while supplies last, as usual). For those of you that simply can't decide between the best of the best, we are offering a limited edition 'Doomsdayer's Holiday Complete Set," which includes both 180 gram colored vinyl cover designs, plus a free promotional copy of the CD for your car stereo or Sony® Discman®.
GRAILS FINALLY REPRESSED WITH LIMITED COLORED VINYL!!!Sold out for nearly a year, we've finally brought Grails' 'Burning Off Impurities' back in print to celebrate the new release of 'Doomsdayer's Holiday.' The first 300 order will get the limited edition colored vinyl (Disk 1 is vanilla ice cream; Disk 2 is red wine). And for those of you who have never seen the etching on Side D of this record, you are in for a real treat.
THURSDAY/ENVY SPLIT LP COMING SOON!!!After months and months of anticipation, we are happy to finally announce the upcoming pre-order for the outrageously good Thursday/Envy split LP+CD. It will be a limited edition LP+CD set, which means the CD comes free inside of the LP format; there will be no separated CD or LP versions. This means it probably won't be available in Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, or most "record" stores in the mall. But it will certainly be available at your local independently owned record store, while supplies last. We're not exactly sure how limited it will be yet; maybe 10,000, maybe a billion (probably closer to the former, as we really don't have space for a billion LPs). While supplies last, we'll have two exclusive, deluxe screenprinted versions of this album. Each version is limited to 1,000 copies and will be available in TWO different colored vinyl schemes (metallic gold/black; or metallic silver/black). The pre-orders for both versions will begin September 15. And before you even ask again, NO, we do not know exactly what time the pre-order will post on September 15. We'll do our best to get it up in a timely fashion.
BIG ELUVIUM NEWS!!!We're not sure how to build up to this, so we're just gonna spit it out: Eluvium 7xLP box set. It's coming. We've been working on this for nearly two years (no joke), and it will FINALLY be available for pre-order soon! Packaged in a hardbound cloth-cover book, the set will include every Eluvium album and EP on vinyl for the very first time ever! Pressed on 100% virgin black vinyl, and bursting at the seams with exquisite new artwork, the set will also include a fold-out poster and removable library card. Oft-rumored since early last year, this is easily the most laborious and expensive production we've ever worked on. And it's been worth every minute and ever dime! Strictly limited to 1,000 copies, this will be available October 1 for pre-order, and will be priced at around $100 plus shipping. The perfect Christmas gift? We think so!
MORE ELUVIUM-RELATED NEWS!!!Speaking of Eluvium vinyl, Matthew Robert Cooper (aka Mr. Eluvium) has just released a new vinyl-only album on Gaarden Records. Limited to just 2,000 copies, 'Miniatures' features nine short suites that play out sort of like skeletons (or ghosts) of Eluvium songs. It's quite beautiful, and available now.
YOUNG WIDOWS OUT NOW!!!'Old Wounds' is Young Widows' second full-length, and their first for Temporary Residence. It's leaps and bounds above their debut, and all in all one of the more remarkable noise rock records we've heard in years. This is available in not one, but THREE different cover designs. Each cover design also features its own limited edition colored vinyl pressing. Each colored vinyl is limited to 200 copies, for a total of 600 available colored vinyl copies spread across the three cover designs. The colored vinyl has been flying away with a mad quickness, so hop to it!
BRAND NEW PRINTS EP OUT NOW!!!Less than a year after their debut album, the dynamic duo of Kenseth and Zac are back to deliver delicious seconds. Three brand new songs in the A-game style, plus a mind-blowing superfunk remix from none other than Tim Goldsworthy of The DFA. As if that wasn't enough, we've also enhanced this CD with the eye-popping video for "Too Much Water." So you get all that music plus the video wrapped in extremely hypnotic packaging (you've gotta see it to believe it) for a super cheap price. Can't beat it! Speaking of our friend Tim Goldsworthy, he also dropped a sick dancefloor remix for Maserati, which you can read all about right here...
MASERATI REMIXES LP OUT NOW!!!Also available now is the limited edition 'Inventions Remixes' LP from Maserati. Featuring side-long remixes from Maserati friends and co-conspirators !!! and Thee Loving Hand (aka Tim Goldsworthy of The DFA), this record is strictly limited to a one-time pressing of 1,000 copies.
GENGHIS TRON REMIX LP OUT NOW!!!Earlier this year our friends in Genghis Tron asked us to be a part of an ambitious remix LP series spanning five labels and over twenty remixers. Seeing as their new album is still holding firm at our #1 position for 2008 thus far, we did not hesitate to be a part of this series. So here it is, the inaugural LP in the series, featuring remixes by Steve Moore (Zombi), Jesu, Rob Crow and Eluvium. The first pressing is a limited edition of 1,000 copies on multi-colored splatter vinyl. We are nearly sold out of the colored vinyl, so get a move on!
THE LOVED EXPANDED CD REISSUE!!!Many, many years ago, Temporary Residence Ltd. was but a dozen boxes of records and CDs scattered across a bedroom floor. We had no computer, no heat, and "we" meant "me." There were only a handful of artists signed to TRL at the time: Wino, Nero, The 90 Day Men, Tarentel and The Loved. Of those, only Tarentel remains active, but The Loved has remained an office favorite since before we even had an office. Their self-titled EP was their lone transmission to the outside world, and those five songs have been played endlessly in the decade since their original release. Now, to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of that EP (and the demise of the band itself), we have unearthed five more previously unreleased songs and have remastered the whole brilliant mess for an expanded reissue. Containing updated, revised artwork, the album is logically twice as awesome as it originally was (since it has twice as many songs, duh). If you missed out on this the first time around, and you really like super catchy, classic pop-influenced rock, then now is the time to get on the train before you're caught running after the caboose.
TRL ON YOUTUBE!!!Though not really esteemed since anyone can start their own channel, we are nonetheless proud to be the official source for all things Temporary Residence on YouTube. And while it's true that you'll find loads of music videos and live performances from the likes of Explosions In The Sky, Envy, Rob Crow, Grails, Maserati and more, you'll also find a fair amount of office favorites that have nothing to do with TRL other than the fact that they fascinate us and make us laugh. So if you're ever near a computer, stop by and say nothing.
BTEOT RE-MIXES AND RE-MASTERS ALBUM!!!The debut album from By the End of Tonight, originally released in 2005, has been newly mixed by the band and remastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music. The result is a better sounding version of the original album. The artwork and tracklisting are the same, it just sounds better now.
THE DRIFT'S BRAND NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!!!The piping hott new album from The Drift is available now! 'Memory Drawings' is the long-awaited follow-up to 'Noumena.' Their most immediate and melodic work yet, this is hands down the best record The Drift has ever made. 'Memory Drawings' is available in both CD and 2xLP vinyl formats. The vinyl features a bonus track not available on the CD. We're almost sold out of the colored vinyl, so get cracking!
ENVY DVD OUT NOW!!!The first-ever Envy DVD is now available. Clocking in at exactly two hours, 'Transfovista' features 17 live songs in their entirety, plus music videos, backstage and road trip footage. Beautifully edited and housed in a gatefold package, this is a career-spanning document of one of the world's best live bands.
NEW ENVY EP OUT NOW!!!After a cold, dark 2007 which saw no new Envy music or North American touring, we are ecstatic to announce this brand new 4-song EP! Of course, this is no ordinary 4-song EP...this is Envy! That means you're in for a half hour journey filled with hope, triumph, despair, redemption, and some of the heaviest riffs they've thrown down since 'A Dead Sinking Story.' It's like the missing link between 'A Dead Sinking Story' and 'Insomniac Doze,' and definitely one of the most beautifully heavy records we've heard in quite some time. This is available on vinyl and CD.
ENVY REISSUES CATALOG ON VINYL AND CD!!!It's been many years coming, but the day is finally here where we are proudly presenting the lion's share of Envy's seminal back catalog in both CD and LP format. All of the vinyl releases have been remastered, and most of the CDs have been repackaged with revised artwork.
MONO DVD OUT NOW!!!This is the first DVD released by Temporary Residence Limited, and it's a beauty. 'The Sky Remains The Same As Ever' is a two-hour film documenting the recording and subsequent world tours in support of MONO's last album, 'You Are There.' The film is a beautiful mix of studio, interview and concert footage, giving an extended peak at a year in the life of one of the best live bands in the world. And the packaging is simply to die for.
DAMAGED GOODS SALE!!!Every few months we collect all of the goods that have been returned to us from our distributor, declared as "damaged," and we sell them to you at less than half the price. The "damage" refers to the packaging, usually a bent corner or torn spine. In some cases they're simply unwrapped. The records are otherwise flawless and unplayed. Stores won't take them, but we thought you might want them. They are $5 EACH, and MUST be purchased with another regularly priced mail order item. In other words, you can't purchase only damaged records. Just Paypal us the additional $5 for each record you want, and we'll throw them in your other order. Here's what we've got, all in limited quantities:TRR43 FRIDGE Happiness 2xLP TRR98 MONO You Are There 2xLP TRR102 TARENTEL Ghetto Beats On The Surface Of The Sun 2xCD TRR117 FRIDGE The Sun 2xLP (Colored Vinyl!)
TRAVELS IN CONSTANTS!!!Alright, listen up, we have more great news for you! The next (and final) set of Travels In Constants discs will ship out in various installments. The most recent disc shipped last June. This was Vol. 23, a gorgeous and heartbreaking album by Christopher Flores, formerly of the band Sonna. We wish we could give you an exact date on the rest, but the artists involved still have to finish their recordings. It will be well worth the wait, or at least it will be the end of your wait. We hope you've enjoyed being as patient and frustrated but ultimately satisfied as we have! Thanks for the good times (and the bad).
