Grief Creature Double Vinyl
$35.00
This is a stunning 2x LP set, designed by Anna DePagter and manufactured by Copycats in Minneapolis. The cover is soft touch, and there are lyrics printed on the sleeves, and a letter to the listener (that's you!). It is such a beauty to look at and touch, really. The vinyl also comes with a download code.
You can buy it signed or unsigned.
About the album:
Grief Creature is 17 tracks of parsing through my own trauma, heartache, and mental illness. There are some very sweet love songs, but for the most part, this is a gut punch of an album. I produced this album myself, and I've never been more proud/terrified of an album to be out in the world. This is an explicit diary, rolled into an 17 tracks. Some tracks may potentially trigger folks, due to their specific content. Grief Creature is one of the best things I've ever made, a devastating examination of my history. I feel like I've spent my entire life making this album, and I can't wait for you to hear it.
