SATURDAY! OV PRESENTS: Father John Misty @ El Rey 8pm ft. DJ Neil Schield!

Make room for the OV awesome news train, dude! We're hitting ya with hard with OV, Goldenvoice & KROQ Locals Only present: FATHER JOHN MISTY at the El Rey on Saturday, December 29th and Neil is going to be DJ'ing before and in-between sets!!!

If you don't know the good Father by now, SHAME! Fear Fun (Sub Pop) is Josh Tillman's first debut folk album as Father John Misty and it's a shop favorite! Besides being one of the most entertaining people to watch onstage, Tillman has a voice that indistinguishably teeters morose and playful tones as it expands to every inch of the room. Fear Fun is an Origami Vinyl favorite album of 2012 as well as favorite local album of 2012! 

Hopefully ya bought your tickets early because this is a show you don't want to miss! Listen to "Nancy From Now On" if ya don't believe me.

NEW OV RELEASE: Ariel Pink, Crooked Cowboy & Neil Schuh "Cloak & Dagger" 7"!! (on transparent orange vinyl)

TODAY!  We’re psyched to add LA homies, Ariel Pink, Crooked Cowboy and Neil Schuh to the Origami Vinyl family!  "Cloak & Dagger" is the trio's collaborative 7" and Origami Vinyl's sixth release.

We’re talkin’ a super limited, one-time pressing of 500 copies on transparent orange vinyl!!  These will go quickly so cop one while ya can.

"Cloak & Dagger" is a must-have 7" that's been in the works for a long time. Pink, Schuh, and Crooked Cowboy jammed on and off for two years before finally taking the project to the studio.  With the only rule to sessions being "no one is allowed to say no to an idea," the single was written after just three meetings.  The B-side is a remix of "Cloak & Dagger" by Aaron Frankel because the track is so nice, you'll need to hear it twice!

Again, this 7" is limited to only 500 units on transparent orange vinyl. Come by the shop to pick one up or order online HERE. Thanks for the support!

Tiny new release blog, HUGE releases.
