about

"Salt and Gravity" is Lost Tribe Sound's 2021/2022 subscription series. The series includes 8 full-length albums from Tony Dupé, Adrian Copeland (aka Alder & Ash), 't Geruis, Federico Mosconi, Arrowounds, Sanr, Alapastel, and µastroKristo.

----------------------------------------------------

SALT AND GRAVITY (SERIES) OPTIONS:

• CD BUNDLE (8 CDs) (Limited to 50 Subscribers)
• DIGITAL BUNDLE (8 Albums)

----------------------------------------------------

INTERESTING BITS ABOUT THE SERIES:

• Your support of this series by subscribing and spreading the word will help tremendously with getting all of the physical editions in the works.

• Strangely, the majority of these works seem to share a water-like quality and some are themed as such. Perhaps knowing that many of these albums were formed during the turbulence of the last eighteen months has helped them find this connective trait.

Which brings us to our title for the series, Salt and Gravity, the phrase is scavenged from the Brian Catling novel, "The Vorrh." To complete the quote, “One solitary tear crept through the scars of his face, through the diagrams of constellations and the incised maps of influence and dominion. A liquid without a name, it being made of so many emotions and conflicts, each cancelling the other out until only salt and gravity filled the moment and moved down through his expression.”

• Genre descriptors like "ambient" or "classical" have always felt out of place when describing the sort of music we generally dabble in. That said, the Salt and Gravity Series is by far our most classical / ambient / drone adjacent collection yet. It is devoid of lyrical albums, unlike the previous series, Fearful Void.

• This series showcases some the most texturally pungent music we've ever released. A life long fascination with low end, blurred, battered and subterranean type sound has led us to this point... sound that you can feel rumbling up through the earth... the good stuff that makes your whole body hum versus just rattling around inside your head.

This feels like a common thread throughout the series. Much of this consistency in tone and mood has been achieved by working closely with Ian Hawgood (Home Normal), who has mastered the majority of these albums. Hawgood's understanding and willingness to experiment with our requests for a dirtier, more moss covered approach, and his well-honed toolbox of analog gear has rekindled our love for the mastering process.

To our fans, kind press and radio folks... incredible thanks goes to you for your support over the years. Please support this effort if you will, and continue to throw a few dollars in the direction of the musicians and artists that you appreciate, wherever they may be.

----------------------------------------------------

READ CAREFULLY exactly what you will be getting with the option you select. As with previous series, worldwide shipping and packing materials are expensive and waste trees and time, so all physical releases will ship in one big, well-packed box upon the completion of the series (See FAQ for more info).

Here is a rundown of the announced releases in the series. Also below, we have a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section we put together, to help navigate any questions that may arise, but feel free to contact us if you don't get your questions answered there.

----------------------------------------------------

SERIES RUNDOWN

1. The series will be limited to two bundle options to keep it simple, Digital Subscriptions (Unlimited slots available) or CD Subscriptions (Limited to 50 Slots). Installment options are not available at this time.

We will be creating 8 physical CD editions over the series. Each edition will be limited to 100 editions. 7 of them will arrive in a custom gatefold-style CD jackets, and 1 CD edition will be produced in a deluxe hardcover CD book format with 8 full-color pages of artwork.

All physical editions will ship in one box upon the completion of the series in around Spring 2022. Each CD Bundle will ship in a well-packaged and corner protected box. Plus, each subscriber will be emailed a digital Bandcamp download code for the album on the release day of each individual album.

2. Our goal is to release around one album per month beginning in August 2021 and ending in Spring 2022. Though some months will see a few releases. Similar to the Fearful Void Series, we have provided you with one song from each release in the series, to wet your appetite.

This is our 5th series as a label, and we always follow through with what we start. We have always delivered with these series, in many cases over-delivered regardless of adversity. Salt and Gravity will be no exception to this standard.

We will also send a welcome email with a coupon code and thanks within 24 hours of subscribing. All CD Bundles will be shipped to you in one big, well-packed box upon the release date of the final album in the series, which is scheduled for release in May 2022) All subscribers will be sent a digital download code for each album on the day it releases over the period of the series.

With the shipping option here, everything will arrive in vinyl and/or CD format (depending on the option selected) secured between two oversized cardboard inserts (stiffeners) then given extra padded corner protection. This will then be placed in an outer box that will allow a layer of tightly packed of biodegradable peanuts to surround these collectors items. We have gone to great lengths to make sure the shipping materials are of the highest quality. So rest assured even if you are overseas or in Canada, these will arrive in great shape!

•What is the difference between the bundle options?

CD BUNDLE - This option receive every release we have planned for this series in CD format. It totals 8 CDs, 1 in a CD hard cover book format, and 7 in Gatefold-style CD cases. You'll receive over 15% off of our retail price if you subscribe. We will mail all your editions out, very well protected upon the release of the final physical edition in May of 2022. You will also received a Bandcamp digital download (320MP3, FLAC, WAV, etc.) sent automatically for the 8 major full-length album planned for the series. The codes will be provided by email as each release comes out, plus you’ll receive any additional subscriber perks.

DIGITAL BUNDLE - This option will get you all 8 releases we have planned for this series using a Bandcamp Digital Download format (320MP3, FLAC, WAV, etc.). You'll receive over 10% off of our retail price if you go with this option. We will email you the 8 major digital full-length releases planned for the series as they come out, plus you’ll receive all the subscriber perks.

• I subscribed over 24 hours ago and haven’t received an email from Lost Tribe Sound with my initial digital album downloads or subscriber perks, where is it? An email with subscriber perks will arrive from info(at)losttribesound(dot)com with 24 hours of subscribing. If you did not receive this email, please be sure to check your junk or spam email folder. Also, if you would please make sure info(at)losttribesound(dot)com is set up as preferred sender in your email settings, so future subscriber only emails do not end up in your junk folder.

• Can I opt to have my physical editions shipped out more regularly as the series starts to release? We’ve decided those options were not as popular and most subscribers chose to have everything shipped in one big bundle at the end of the series, opting to receive a digital version of each album as it came out until the physical editions arrived all together at the very end of the series. We can make arrangements to have half the series mailed to you once we reach the midpoint of the series if you like. But please contact us for the pricing on this, as the shipping and handling charges will increase if you want to do this. Get in touch.

• Once I subscribe to the series, will I be able to cancel my subscription? Unfortunately once you subscribe you will not be able to cancel your subscription, since we will begin delivering Subscriber perks and will also be using your early funding to help build all these beautiful objects. If something truly drastic comes up, let us know and we will of course try to work with you as best as possible.

Our clients include, GoPro, PBS, CBS, documentary/independent filmmakers and more. We have a very large catalog of pre-existing music for licensing that includes well-known composers and song-writers from around the world.

We can even create a 100% custom piece of music to suit your needs. Please get in touch with some details about your upcoming project here: info(at)losttribesound(dot)com

• I have already purchased one or more of the albums from this series from another store before I knew about the Subscription Series. I don't want duplicate albums, can I still subscribe to the series at a discounted rate, minus the albums I already have? The answer is yes! We don't want fans to miss out on this massive collection of albums offered here. Send us a quick email info(at)losttribesound(dot)com. Let us know which album/s you already have and we'd be happy to work out a fair price for you to join the rest of the Subscription Series.

"As the world enters the pandemic’s fourth wave, the theme seems prescient. The octet is also linked by an unintentional tonal connection to water, the artists separately producing works that reflect a drowning world struggling to stay afloat." - (Richard Allen) A CLOSER LISTEN

"if you enjoy rich, resonating dark ambient music which blends field recordings seamlessly into their compositions, this label is going to keep your attention for a good long while. Take this one seriously, as the music is stunningly rich." - (Rudy Carrera) MUSIC YOU NEED TO HEAR

"No-one releases music quite like Wisconsin label Lost Tribe Sound. Specializing in what we’ve previously called “raggedly beautiful experimental music,” they are a label with an unyielding commitment to their artistic vision, a vision which is pretty much the antithesis of the ephemeral sugar rush of the streaming age. Not only is the music across their roster dark and strange and challenging, but it is released with an admirable care and attention to detail, to the extent that the physical releases feel more like multi-disciplinary artworks that conventional albums." - (Liam Doyle) VARIOUS SMALL FLAMES
