Cloudkicker has been known to give little notice when releasing an album, if any at all. Subsume is another one of those times.
Cloudkicker, the Internet's instru-metal sweetheart, has announced Subsume will come out on September 14 according to a post on his blog. He also clears some things up about the record's release, pre-orders, and remixes:
"As of now, Subsume is available for digital pre-order via Bandcamp (which is now the same thing as cloudkickermusic.com). You will instantly notice that the pre-order is not free, but rather $1 or more. Don’t worry, once the proper album is released it will be done so using the familiar $0 or more. Let me explain. When you pay $1 or more for the pre-order, your email address will be registered with Bandcamp so that the instant the album is made available for download you will be notified. Due to a quirk in the Bandcamp software, the only way to accomplish this is by charging you an amount of money. The minimum is 51 cents but I thought that was a very odd number and upped it to a plain old dollar."
And:
"Subsume will be released as a digital album and on vinyl (and to stream on Spotify, Google Play, rdio, and so on). Yes, I am foregoing CDs. I’m sorry if this is an inconvenience but I just don’t see the point anymore. Instead, you are presented with a choice of two very nicely adorned LPs."
And:
"As a present for pre-ordering the album you will be able to download a remixed version of the first track, titled “The warmth of the daytime seemed like a dream now.” This remix was created by t16, who some of you may know is my brother."
Which is a reference to this (below)! Enjoy, and remember to pre-order for a friggin' dollar! Don't be cheap.
