OK> Scroll down past the just general release info if you are willing to hear me just ramble about how much this record means to me personally.

It is a huge privilege to release the entire recorded discography (other than an EP of Instrumental versions that was released on a 12" by Man's Ruin back in the day) of "PhiloshopiGothDustrial" (my own personal genre, which is not band approved (but, in my mind pretty accurate)) from Eric Avery (Jane's Addiction) and Biff Barefoot Sanders (Ethyl Meatplow) plus artist Dani Tull and Andy Troy.

PERSONAL TESTIMONIAL:
Whoa. If 15 year old me knew I was releasing an LP for Eric Avery (hands down my favorite musician at the time), iconic bassist for Jane's Addiction and incredible songwriter, I would have never believed it. When Jane's broke up, I religiously followed every bootleg, every solo project, every everything. And these two Polar Bear albums always stood out as perennial favorites (Alongside Deconstruction, which I also tried to release in conjunction with Org Music, but got hosed by the conglomerate who bought the label that bought the label that bought the label that originally released it). Getting to know Eric over the last couple years has proven to me that sometimes you really SHOULD meet your heroes. These records represent a huge and formative part of my life and they still hold up! It's one of the biggest bucketlist releases PIAPTK has ever done.
