The critically - acclaimed second studio album from Bay Area metal wizards Deafheaven. The recording of 'Sunbather' brought drummer Dan Tracy into the group, as George Clarke and Kerry McCoy had been a duo before. 'Sunbather' builds on their 2011 debut, intensifying the wall - of - sound arrangements inspired by shoegaze, paired with harsh screaming, breakdowns, and black - metal song structures. With added drone and post - rock elements, plus creative sampling and field recordings, it's one of the decade's most inventive metal records. This 10th anniversary edition is newly remixed and remastered, pressed on double vinyl in an orange, yellow & pink haze color. It's an indie exclusive, plays at 45RPM, comes in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves, and is a limited edition. Originally released in 2013, it's now re - issued by Deathwish Inc in 2023.
To enjoy this vinyl, first make sure your turntable is clean and set to 45RPM. Gently remove the vinyl from the gatefold jacket, holding it by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Place it on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the record. When you're done listening, carefully lift the tonearm and return the vinyl to its sleeve and jacket. Keep the vinyl away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping. Also, don't stack heavy objects on it. If the vinyl gets dirty, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it in a circular motion from the outer edge to the center.
