A Triptych with Holes:
The year is 2026. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum was “born” on the eve of this century, little suspecting then that the 25th anniversary of its debut album, its Grand Opening and Closing, would be celebrated in a fascist-occupied country. The festivities have already begun. Even now, wooden boxes are being lovingly made by hand in the exact center of the formerly-united states, in Indiana, home of Avant Night Records and Joyful Noise Recordings. The primal smell of carefully-burnt wood betrays their intricate design: a Triptych unfolding to reveal all 3 of the foundational Museum records in gatefold double vinyl, previously only available as an import through Blood Music in the jolly socialist country of Finland, where the Museum’s desperate “freedom songs” must have seemed quaint indeed. Come home now, travelers, and see the fires in the lake country.
The beauty of discord, the battle over how the future will see the past, the slow intrusions of geology—the box will try to contain these things, but it will fail. They will get out. Even closed, the box has holes, intentional holes. The things—discord, battle, intrusions,… et cetera—are already out. The Museum, too, is lovingly made by hand, with intentional holes, and is already out.
Contents:
- Three gatefold double-LPs of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum’s seminal works Grand Opening and Closing, Of Natural History, and In Glorious Times on Gold swirl, Green swirl, and Oxblood swirl colored vinyl respectively
-
A limited edition hand-pulled screen-printed poster signed by the band, as well as two hand-bound booklets containing liner notes, lyrics, and other arcane curatoratorial rantings — both created by Odd Petals.
- All housed in a deluxe wooden box (hinged tri-fold, featuring die-cut and etched artwork)
- Hand-numbered in a limited edition of 777
