The *Flutters Eyelashes* compilation has finally rolled off the press and into the anxious hands of yours truly. It has a nice heft in my hands, despite its minimalist manufacturing. There is just so much talent packed into this tiny bit of silicon, and to think it’s free is really exciting. There’s nothing to come between these amazing bands and potential fans- I’m confident there will be plenty of connections across the Atlantic to come of this album.

Anyway, if you’re wondering where to get one, they’ll be in local Austin record shops soon. I have to wait for the bulk of the production to arrive (I only got a few samplers), have some folding parties (yeah, it’s DIY or DIE just like the old indie days), and then I’ll be shuffling them into End of An Ear, Waterloo, Cheapo’s, and lots of other locals. Don’t look for these in any of the big boxers- you’ll be sorely disappointed. This is a community building effort, not a commodity.

If you’re not in Austin, the producer of this fine compilation has given permission to share the tracks online- and since I did the artwork, I’m more than happy to provide that as well. If you’re so inclined, feel free to download the tracks to burn, and the PDF of the case to print and fold (instructions can be found here). Of course, all work therein is copywriten and any profit coming from the distribution of the compilation is completely out of the question.
