This is far from breaking news, but Hyrda Head provided some photos of the new 10-inch split from Pelican and These Arms Are Snakes.

I was somewhat indifferent about this release — until I saw the irresistibly beautiful packaging and vinyl. If more label folk took cues from Hydra Head on this, then maybe they’d be moving more units.

This is going on my birthday vinyl wishlist, which currently includes:

• David Bazan’s Jingle Bells seven-inch
• The Mae Shi’s HLLLYH multicolor double-LP
• Jubilee’s seven-inch singles
• The Features’ Some Kind of Salvation 180 gram double-LP
• I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness’ self-titled 12-inch reissue

   [...] of Pelican, I’m still pining for the clear marbled version of their split with These Arms Are Snakes. [...]
