      Serotonin: To Long For - You Sessions Volume 1 (dutil.)

      Just in case you missed every publication on the planet’s annual grey-hair pandering regurgitation about vinyl’s comeback since the mid ’90s: people are listening to records. Unfortunately, this anachronistic “explosion” won’t save many independent record stores from going out of business—the Urban Outfitters on Granville probably sells more vinyl than any of them. (Who can blame people? Records are cheaper there and they have books about Banksy, the greatest artist of our time.)

      Given that consumers are purchasing vinyl while they shop for shitty clothes, you might as well dangle wax in front of them while they shop for nice clothes at Gastown’s destination denim shop dutil. and see if they bite.

      Serotonin: To Long For - You Sessions Volume 1 is a perplexingly punctuated, multigenre, vinyl-only compilation with a bunch of acts from out East you’ve never heard of paired with local acts like ACTORS, Sophia Danai, Drawn Ship, and Omar Khan. And yes, if you were wondering, it has some spoken word on it too.

      If you appreciate spirited people doing crazy shit like releasing this album in 2013, it is available at dutil. and through its online store. Though it carries a price tag of $25, you can afford it if you’re in the market for a pair of Nudies. You’ll look great in them.
