Pre-Order: Pinback - Some Offcell Voices (Blue) [Colored Vinyl]

In the early days of Pinback, they were known mostly as two lauded musicians who spent their spare time away from their primary projects (Three Mile Pilot, Thingy, Heavy Vegetable) to hone their home recording skills while experimenting with ideas, tones, and instrumentation that didn't quite fit into those primary projects. Pinback hadn't yet become their day job; it hadn't yet become a well-oiled touring machine; and it had no idea where it might go in the future. In retrospect, that earnest curiosity is what makes those early Pinback recordings so resonant and unique - and what separated them from every other indie rock band of this century. Every bit as powerful and expressive as their first two albums, the 1999 EP, Some Voices, and the 2003 EP, Offcell, famously bucked the perception of EPs as outtakes and toss-offs. What were ostensibly minor stop-gaps between albums became massive fan favorites and staples of Pinback's live show for decades to come. Never originally released on vinyl, we combined all of these standout songs into the painstakingly remastered and repackaged Some Offcell Voices.
