sams@subpop.com (Sam Sawyer) — Fri, 09 May 2008 17:54:42 -0700

Welcome to the content section of this informational post. I’d like to take this opportunity to inform you of five new t-shirt designs we have recently made available for your upper-half – your better half. First off, we have two shirts from No Age, both featuring a shiny metallic silver ink – futuristic? Yeah, maybe. Second, we have a Sera Cahoone shirt featuring the noblest of all woodland creatures, the mighty stag. Up next, we’ve got a Foals shirt. And lastly but not leastly, we have a Hardly Art shirt featuring artwork from Ghostshrimp.

sams@subpop.com (Sam Sawyer) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:04:15 -0700

It’s been several tense weeks here at the Sub Pop International World-Headquarters due to a lack of the Gutter Twins’ Saturnalia on vinyl. But glory days are here again; the sun is shining and we just received a shipment of these LP’s for your record-playing needs!

Saturnalia LP’s come with an MP3 download code. That’s like turning your iPod into a record player!

New Band of Horses 7" Available

sams@subpop.com (Sam Sawyer) — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:40:00 -0800

Hey all you Horses-Heads! What? Not cool? Maybe I’ll try to come up with a more flattering nickname for Band of Horses fans. Or better yet, maybe no nickname at all. Anyway, I thought you should know about a brand new Band of Horses seven inch single featuring No One’s Gonna Love You on the a-side and a cover of Am I a Good Man, by Them Two, on the b-side, recorded live for KEXP.

These will go pretty quick, so pick one up right here

Gutter Twins Vinyl - Temporarily Sold Out

sams@subpop.com (Sam Sawyer) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:43:15 -0800

The reason you don’t see an LP option when you try to pre-order Saturnalia is because we don’t have any more LPs to sell at the moment. The super good news about this otherwise bleak reality is that we’re getting more made. In about a month or so, you’ll be able to order an LP copy of the record (complete with an MP3 download code), so please check back with us.

Email me with any questions at websales@subpop.com.

Hoodies are back!

In mock-celebration of an obscenely cold winter, we decided to restock our hooded-sweatshirt warehouse in both the zip-up and pullover styles. At $30, these will most likely sell out again, so yeah, do your torso a huge solid and buy one!

Pre-order Iron & Wine's Shepherd's Dog!

sams@subpop.com (Sam Sawyer) — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 17:02:47 -0700

It feels pretty great to spread good news, doesn’t it? It does! Ready? We just wanted to let you all know that the long-awaited new record from Iron & Wine will be out on September 25th has us positively jubilant! As if sharing that news isn’t bringing us more than our fair share of joy, gluttons that we are, we have still more for you: If you pre-order the CD or LP through September 25th you’ll get it for $1 off our already low-price. We are clearly not in full possession of our faculties! Plus! (I’m beginning to feel like I’m hosting an infomercial…) We will include a bonus CD with two b-sides (the songs “Serpent Charmer” and “Arms of a Thief”), as well as the stickers and buttons for which we are internationally somewhat famous for giving away to you, dear friends who give us your money.

Here’s some info on the new record…

2005’s Woman King distinguished itself from previous Iron & Wine records with a deepening integration of spiraling, dense opuses with intimate confessionals and with The Shepherd’s Dog this integration is complete. Recorded by Sam Beam with the assistance of longtime producer Brian Deck and engineer Colin Studebaker, The Shepherd’s Dog succeeds in accomplishing a cathartic recasting of the artist’s intentions. The arrangements here are kaleidoscopic and rich. “White Tooth Man” rocks with a desperate, menacing intensity while “Boy with a Coin,” the album’s first single, is darkly playful with a handclap hook tumbling under its cascading melody. The whole album breathes. Its seductive rhythms percolate and undulate, from the Psych-Bhangra-redux of “Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car” to the album’s last dance-a waltz-”Flightless Bird, American Mouth.” Compositionally, it is Iron & Wine’s most ambitious and accomplished recording to date. It’s also the most satisfying.

Pre-order Patton Oswalt's Werewolves and Lollipops!

chrisj@subpop.com (Chris Jacobs) — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:27:56 -0700

On July 10th, we’re putting out a new Patton Oswalt CD/DVD called Werewolves and Lollipops.

Along with the usual buttons and stickers (one of which features the catchy, minorly filthy saying, pulled straight from the CD/DVD, ”Erect in Defiance of Gods’s Will”) that come with our online orders, we are offering two bucks off all pre-orders! As if that weren’t enough, Patton came into our offices and abused our photo booth. The results: ten autographed photo strips of Patton Oswalt. We are giving away these white-hot collectibles at random to 10 out of our first 100 pre-orders of Werewolves and Lollipops!

Order often and early!

Free Limited Shins 7" with Shins Purchase

laceys@subpop.com (Lacey Swain) — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 16:32:46 -0700

UPDATE! AS OF MAY 1, 2007 WE ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF THESE SHINS 7”S. THIS OFFER IS NO LONGER VALID. We have a very limited number of a Shins 7” that was available only at indie retailers with the purchase of Wincing the Night Away. It comes in a white paper sleeve and features “Spilt Needles” (alt version) b/w “Nothing at All” (which might just be my favorite new Shins song). All you have to do is buy anything by the Shins on vinyl OR buy two or more of anything Shins related and we’ll throw it in for free.

*Note: the 7” is not going to show up in your cart. You’ll just have to trust us.

this record is my favorite record of 2006

Shins Shirt Alert

These are our new t-shirts to go with Wincing the Night Away AND they were designed by Rob Mercer (James’brother!). Available in black or army green, and I suggest you get both so as to not break up the set.
