Every year The Onion A.V. Club makes a list of 25 songs for their favorite bands to cover. They asked Coliseum, who chose Eddie Money's "Shakin'", taking advantage of the Chicago location of The Onion's office by bringing in experimental music legend Bruce Lamont on scorching saxophone.

We are honored to announce our 200th release as a label! Fittingly, it also marks the 20th anniversary of Envy, one of the most respected and influential bands in underground music. What better way to commemorate these two milestones than with an absolutely insane super-deluxe box set!!

Formed in 1992 with an average age of 15 years old, Envy began as a blistering punk quintet, whipping violent riffs into frantic bursts that rarely cracked the two-minute mark. Their inexhaustible exploration of new sounds and ideas would lead them to incorporate strains of a experimental noise, subtle ambience, and triumphant, cinematic rock. Invariable Will, Recurring Ebbs and Flows is a limited-edition super-deluxe box set that collects every song ever recorded by Envy (95 songs in total) across 14 vinyl LPs, all remastered for vinyl in 2013. Each record is housed in its own full-color jacket, featuring all new artwork. Also included is a brand new, previously unreleased 100-minute DVD, a DVD data disk packed with all 95 songs in high-quality MP3 format, and a 100-page coffee table book featuring dozens of exclusive photos, plus lyrics to every Envy song, transcribed in both Japanese and English languages. The entire mind-blowing package is housed in a sturdy custom outer box – printed on a custom reflective metallic foil board. Strictly limited to 1,000 copies, Invariable Will is a monument to one of underground music's most enigmatic bands, and a celebration of their unfettered brilliance.

This week in Dreams Come True News: Eluvium has collaborated with the lovely and amazing Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo for the soul-stirring final track on the forthcoming new double album, Nightmare Ending. Of the inspired union, Eluvium's Matthew Cooper says: "When I wrote 'Happiness', I knew that vocals would play an important part, but I wasn't sure how to express them myself. Being the last song on the album, would it be a grand statement – or a smaller piece focused on minute details? At some point in time the fantasy of having Ira singing just came to me: "That would be amazing," I thought. I mentioned this off-handedly (and most likely a little jokingly) to Jeremy at Temporary Residence, and he responded by saying something to the effect of "Well...why don't we look into it?" The next thing I knew, Ira was responding with words of affection about the music and then sending me recordings that he and James (McNew, also in Yo La Tengo) had made. I was astounded at how close to home the words felt; somehow Ira had managed to express this feeling of having courage and finding comfort in a way I would have never imagined."

The long-awaited new Eluvium album is finally upon us, and if you can believe it, it's the best yet! At 14 songs across two discs, NIghtmare Ending is also the longest, most transcendent Eluvium album to date. It's truly wonderous! This is now available on gatefold 2xCD, or special limited-edition signed art print w/ MP3 download coupon. This one is really something special.
