Just realised that I gave a post-release update on Facebook but not here – mainly it’s to thank everyone for the support so far, and to let you know what’s been going on in the days since.
The release at CODEX was a big success, and from the first few minutes the online store went live there have been orders from all over the world. The FB announcement was to let people know that I made the first round of deliveries on Monday and Tuesday, but since then there have been plenty more and they’ll probably be sent out tomorrow.
Really heartfelt thanks to everyone for supporting and promoting the release, it gives me hope that there’s still an audience for our music and the potential for growth is definitely there. I’m hoping to get on the case with advertising more widely in other scenes, and there might need to be some alternative ways to buy the album for people in Japan, so stay tuned for that.
As an aside, I forgot how bad I am at packing anything, so apologies in advance for some over-enthusiastic efforts that might require a chainsaw to get through…
Great to hear Codex went over well even with the lineup troubles and that you’ve received so many orders already! Too much packaging is better than no packaging, but I’ll sidechain some more saws just in case…
In my experience packaging is often overlooked. Many records I have ordered the last couple of years has arrived with too little packaging material. It makes me happy to hear I might need a chainsaw to unwrap this delivery!
Glad to hear it’s going so well. I have the same issue with packing, but always better to have too much than too little!
