The Rentals Return (again)
One of my favorite bands of all time keep coming back better than ever – The Rentals. They’re going to be releasing . Following in the footsteps of NIN & Radiohead, they will be releasing a digital download of a mini album every quarter in 2009 with 3-4 songs on it. The price is fair for $4, but they’re also offering pretty enticing packages beyond the standard download. Check out the tracks at therentals.com, and youtube videos here. I won’t say that I’m not thinking about investing in the Limited Deluxe Edition for $275:
- Hardcover coffee table photo book of exclusive images, photographed by Matt Sharp in connection with Songs About Time
- Four-LP set of Songs About Time on 180 gram vinyl with unreleased exclusive bonus tracks. This vinyl set will ONLY be available in the Limited Edition Package!
- Three CD-set of all 3 Songs About Time Mini Albums
- CD of Films About Weeks original soundtrack scores
- High-Def DVD of Films About Weeks Video Collection
- Two all-access VIP backstage passes to a future Rentals show of your choice (tickets must be purchased separately).
- One undeveloped roll of black and white 35mm film shot by Matt Sharp during a single day in 2009
- Exclusive access to online photo gallery to post and share the images from your personal 35mm roll of film.
- Immediate Free download of all Songs About Time Premium Digital Mini Albums as they becomes available including the exclusive “A Thousand Seasons Past” music video.
