"Many bands produce decent pop hooks, but few do it with the same level of theatricality and gusto as Casper & The Cookies. Modern Silence is in a whole league of its own. This album certainly has the stones to cement C&TC as bona fide pop experts." - Indieville
Modern Silence was released on CD on May12 by Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. The vinyl release is being handled by People In a Position To Know Records. After manufacturing delays we can finally announce the July 20 release.
Casper and the Cookies - Modern Silence GATEFOLD 2xLP + 5" lathe cut!: $21
The new album from Athens, Georgia's Casper and the Cookies! They come in a beautiful, gatefold cover with a different design than the CD. There are only 500 copies made, and only 200 copies are on AUDIOPHILE RED vinyl, in honor of Jason's obsession with the Japanese red-vinyl version of Sgt. Peppers and their reputation of being the best sounding version of that album. PIAPTK.com will be the only place that you can get the red version of this awesome record!
The first 50 preorders will receive a special clear 5" lathe cut with exclusive songs.
You will also receive the 320kbps download coupon in your email within about a week or less. This features the "vinyl-mix" which is slightly different than the cd mix.
If you’ve never heard Casper & the Cookies, do yourself a favor; dismiss any preconceived notions. Forget that Jason played with Of Montreal. Cast aside the reports of live shows replete with fake eyelashes, though it does look fantastic. You’re going to have to take them on their own terms. Fail to do so and you will miss some of the most original pop music to come along in years. Over the course of three albums Athens, GA’s finest have managed to carve out an aesthetic all their own, a labyrinthine tangle of ear-worm melodies, plot-twist production, and the history of popular music. This is good news for those waiting for another XTC or Elvis Costello, ambitious artists that never left their audiences wondering where the catchy songs went.
