The new split 12″ between Caravels & Gifts From Enola is shipping now. Brian Stowell picked up a copy yesterday in Portland and sent me over these photos (to hold me over until my copies ship in). So damn proud of this thing, and can’t wait to see it in person. The outer-sleeve is full-color plus a metallic spot-under-print, and with a full-color insert with lyrics (hand-written by me).

Order the Coke-Bottle-Green version (shown below) from Topshelf Records, White version from The Mylene Sheath, or grab a Clear version from either band at their upcoming shows. You can also stream the whole record on Absolute Punk.

Just a rad photo sent over by merch-dude Brian Stowell. As he said, “Tis the season! Let’s be honest, every season is right for hot chocolate.” Get this Josh Ritter mug, and other swag for 10% if you use the code RITTER2011 before 12/31!

The pre-orders are now live for Well Worn, the highly-anticipated split 12″ between Caravels & Gifts From Enola. This record is a co-release between Topshelf Records & The Mylene Sheath. It spins at 45rpm (uncommon to a 12″), and is housed in a 4-color + Metallic spot color printed sleeve, with full-color insert. Released on five different limited-editions of colored vinyl, 1,000 copies total. My favorite color variation is the coke-bottle green. The vinyl cover is slightly different from the digital cover. I found the primary photo for $2.00 at an antique store (shown below), and have literally been saving it for three years to use for the right project. Can’t wait to see this all printed up.

I’ll be selling some goods at this year’s CraftyMart. My girlfriend will have hand-sewn goods, our friend Angela will have needle-felted animals, and I’ll have prints, shirts  and owls. Props to my friend Andy for designing the flyer.

I sold a bunch of these posters on Sunday night, but still have a few available, which are now for sale online. The band even gave me a kind shout-out during their set, thanks Jimmy! Buy one of these online, here.

The prints are 25″ x 19,” three-colors, all of which are semi-transparent. Printed with water-based discharge ink on 100lb French Oatmeal Speckletone paper.
