Burnt Toast Vinyl

Deluxe vinyl reissue of Ester Drang's 2001 landmark album Goldenwest. Available on vinyl for the first time, the album was remastered from original tapes by Chris Colbert (The Walkmen, Richard Swift) who produced the original recordings, cut to lacquers by Matthew Barnhart at Chicago Mastering Service, and pressed onto high quality vinyl by Gotta Groove Records in Cleveland. The double LP includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks and is packaged in a super thick high-gloss tip-on gatefold jacket. The record is available in two variants: green/yellow swirl vinyl and green/smoke swirl vinyl.

The tracks on Goldenwest are intricate compositions with ghostly melodies and pulsing, moody jams. These are well thought out rhythm and guitar based songs that come out full, filling the room with a washed and airy grace. The electronics nestle into the mix perfectly, the band masterfully avoiding any hint of over-indulgence. Goldenwest was recorded at the Green Room in Huntington Beach by Chris Colbert with a little help from Frank Lenz (Lassie Foundation). Along with the stockpile of instruments the boys play on their own, Colbert gracefully topped it off with some guitar, optigan, and stylophone while Lenz added some drums and backing vocals for good measure.
