The inner gatefold of Whalebone and the inner sleeve of Reasons To Stay Indoors

The vinyl reissues of Reasons to Stay Indoors (2001) and Savoy (2004) – now retitled Whalebone – were released a few weeks ago, on Friday August 29th.

Both albums have been remastered by Joe Lambert, while Tom Korsvold is responsible for the new artwork.

Reasons comes in a glossy silver cover, with the record housed in a paper inner sleeve with lyrics on it. Whalebone comes in a gatefold cover with lyrics inside, while the record comes in a black polylined inner sleeve. The back cover of Whalebone also includes a drawing by Paul.

Due to the length of the Reasons to Stay Indoors album, two songs have been omitted from the vinyl release; “Fearlist” and “Paramount”. Making the vinyl reissue around eight and a half minutes shorter than the original album.

Paul and Lauren stopped by Tiger Records in Oslo in early July to sign a bunch a records that could be pre-ordered. When all of them sold out, they returned later that month to sign even more copies. Signed copies of Whalebone are still available to order from Tiger Records, along with Under, while signed copies of Reasons have now sold out.

While staying in Oslo this summer, Paul posted a few video clips from the home studio, where he’s been working on new material. One guitar-driven song that sounds very promising and another more synth-based instrumental.
