Last month, The Rocket Summer–aka Bryce Avary–announced a 10th anniversary tour for Do You Feel, his first major label release. Before the tour kicks off July 20 in Avary’s home state of Texas, he revealed today that Do You Feel will soon be available on vinyl–a gatefold double white vinyl, in fact. Pre-orders begin today and, on tour, VIP ticket purchasers will have exclusive access to a limited edition double purple vinyl.
As a vinyl collector myself, there’s just something about the experience of connecting to the music in a more tangible, almost spiritual way. So now after 10 years, getting to actually hold it, open the gatefold and know that fans will hear these songs off this white vinyl from their turntables is kind of a cathartic feeling that fills a long-standing void; both a mental one and a physical void on the actual record shelf where there’s been a space right in the middle of the TRS LPs. It took a long time to get to this point. So to finally see it is wonderful. – Bryce Avary
