THIS SERIES HAS NOW CONCLUDED.
----------------------------------------------------
"Built Upon A Fearful Void" or "Fearful Void Series" for short, is Lost Tribe Sound's largest subscription series. The series introduced 16 new full-length albums to the roster between June 2020 through November 2021. The line-up includes full-length albums by From the Mouth of the Sun, William Ryan Fritch, Vieo Abiungo, yadayn, Microwolf, Several Wives, Arrowounds, and debut albums from Claire Deak & Tony Dupé (aka Saddleback), Mt Went (aka Seabuckthorn & Dave Anderson), Gallowglas, and Sailcloth.
This series might seem a bit unhinged given the circumstances of 2020. And, believe it or not “Built Upon A Fearful Void” is not a title we invented recently, it was actually an album title that William Ryan Fritch and I have been kicking around since 2012. The album has been something I’ve been begging him to put out for a while now. The timing just seemed incredibly appropriate all things considered.
Fearful Void (Subscription Series) options:
• CD BUNDLE (16 CDs) (Limited to 50 Subscribers)
• DIGITAL BUNDLE (16 Albums)
READ CAREFULLY exactly what you will be getting with the option you select. The options here allow you to pay for the subscription series all at once or through installments, Plus, because worldwide shipping and packing materials are expensive and waste trees, all physical releases will ship in one big, well-packed box (See FAQ for more info).
Below you can check out the rundown of the 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:
We are aware that life has become quite different and difficult over the last few years for many, heartbreakingly so for some, and we have taken efforts to remain cognizant of that, while at the same time making sure to distinguish the timeless nature of these albums and the hard work of each musician involved from any one specific event. Many of these albums have been in the works for years, so it looks like our focus on mildly post-apocalyptic / winter-all-year approach to music has finally paid off.
Personally I’ll say this, I’ve never been great with words, especially those of comfort, but what I can offer is music that means a great deal to me, paired with artwork, from wholly unique, boundary testing, and big-hearted musicians and artists that have blown my mind with their creative output over the years.
If you’re into that kind of trip right now, that’s what we’re offering. If we haven’t given you enough to go on, just know, this is our fourth series as a label, and we always follow through with what we start. We have always delivered regardless of adversity. Even though this may seem like a daunting task, we will make it worth your while, keep things a bit tongue in cheek, and make it one to remember. Cheers.

• 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 generous funds 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.
• I make films, commercials, and/or television programs, is it possible to license your music for one of these projects? Yes, we license our music to a wide variety of commercial projects worldwide. 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. So, our catalog is not simply limited to the music from this Subscription Series or the label, we have many more options available behind the scenes. 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
• Are you going to release vinyl versions of these albums? Why is there no vinyl this year? It just wasn’t in the cards to do vinyl this year. We do love our vinyl buyers, so it was a hard choice to make. While we also find them quite sexy, very few people buy them (as much as they are so hot right now). They cost a small fortune to ship to our overseas and Canadian customers. The cost of making a high quality vinyl means we cannot pay our artists nearly as soon as we prefer to. CDs are just a better vehicle for us when it comes to delivering the music along with the emphasis on artwork that we enjoy. These hard cover CD books still provide a way for us to make something physical that honors the music. Plus, you should see our vinyl storage room, it’s not good.
• 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.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.
• My address and/or has changed since I first subscribed, how can I get that updated? No worries, please send us a quick email including you name and the new address/email address here,
info-at-losttribesound.com. Otherwise, we use the address provided through Bandcamp / Paypal at the time of purchase as the shipping address for all physical items in the series. It is the buyer's responsibility to make sure we receive the correct address information. Lost Tribe Sound will not be liable for items shipped to an incorrect address if it was the one provided to us by the buyer.
