Black Friday / Record Store Day (same thing) is notably awesome for the singles that many bands release in celebration (or with hope of making some sales). To the pleasure of my ears, Pinback was one such band, releasing a special 7" titled
Information Retrieved A, which is supposed to last us until their full album is released in early 2012.
The vinyl pressing was limited to somewhere under 2,000 copies (reports vary), and at this point it appears that there are still a few available on
Temporary Residence.
And unfortunately, given the limited number of copies available, I haven't been able to get my hands on the second track, "Thee Srum Proggitt." Perhaps we'll have to wait until next year for that?
