When I last talked to Cartel, they were releasing a statement about the Enjoy The Ride Records release of Chroma, their acclaimed debut full-length. Now they are finally releasing a pressing of their own.
The pressing is limited to 1000, each hand-numbered. 500 will be available online. The rest will be sold during ticket pre-sale and on tour. This will be a 180g 2xLP release. First Pressing in White. Gate Fold Sleeve in a Die-Cast Slip Case. This will set you back $30.
They also announced the tour we discussed in a 2013 interview. Chroma is 10 years old and deserves a celebration. They’ll be taking Hit The Lights, TEAM, and Driver Friendly on the road with them.
The dates are below. Pre-sale tickets and vinyl go on sale Wednesday (2/4) at 3PM EST.
