Any one who knows me well knows how much I love Matt Skiba, and when he announced he was doing a side project called Heavens, I lost my shit. To hear that it was a more stripped back sound that the Alk3 stuff, mixed with some electro stuff, I was definitely interested to hear how it was going to turn out.
When I got the CD, it really reminded me of Joy Division, and to an extent, Placebo. I was into it. I kept my eye on the Epitaph site for an LP release, and one never showed, so I had no fucking that this LP even came out until it was loooong sold out and I saw one on eBay.
I can find nothing about the LP release anywhere really, and there is no info on the label, and as far as I can see, this is the only release that Number Nine Sounds released.
I managed to snag this on eBay for just over $20, probably what I would have paid for it at the time of the release, so I am super stoked on that.
There is no art for this record, only a Disco Sleeve with a sticker on the front, and numbered out of 1000.
To be honest, I really don't give a fuck. This record is now in my collection, and there I plan for it to stay!
It's sad that the band didn't get to do a second record, as I am sure it would have ruled. The Matt Skiba solo record has been put on the back burner, so who knows if that'll ever see the light of day. There is a Joy Division cover around somewhere, only available digitally and a 7 inch pic disc that Epitaph put out, that has the Patent Pending single and a remix, which is actually awesome.
Maybe I should man up and listen to some decent music instead...?
Nah, fuck that.
