simple box construction ::: spring update

::: so THE NEW WORLD has been out for a little while and things are moving along. here are some things that have been going on and some things that will be happening in the near future.

::: the new world has seen its share of reviews all of which can be found on the reviews page. there are still a few sites that will hopefully review it. keeping up with orders has been a bit of a challenge since the covers are so labor intensive and are not all yet complete. however, all orders are caught up now and the covers are being finished up continuously so orders can go out immediately. also the album will be available at some online distributors too. simple box construction/ a death cinematic did a massive interview with heathen harvest. the first part of the interview can be found here and the second part, discussing the finer details of THE NEW WORLD should be posted on their site soon. it will also be posted here on the interviews page along with all the other interviews.


::: new developments are in the works and here is a short overview of things to look forward to. simple box construction is working on a small video for a track off THE NEW WORLD which features the images form the PRELUDE TO THE NEW WORLD book. this should be out very soon. since now there is a collection of videos for a few a death cinematic tracks, simple box construction will be adding a video page to this site to help archive them and have them available for viewing in one place.

::: mixing and mastering of tracks will begin this week, not just for the new album (from simple box) but also for a cassette release on Tycho Magnetic Anomalies. details on this will be made available as things get closer to completion. shortly after that or maybe even during, a death cinematic will start recording some work for a vinyl split, a long play single and some other splits and collaborations.

::: on a final note, in order to help raise some funds for some of the forthcoming projects simple box construction will be posting some prints for sale in the next post. there are some artist proofs and some full size, full color prints that are available. full and detailed descriptions with images as well as ways to order the prints will be included in the next post. those who are connected on facebook have already seen previews of the prints and some of the new artwork, drawings, and photography that simple box construction has been working on. to view some of the artwork you can check out the photo album here. more to come soon.

SBC - 011 and SBC - 012 ::: the new world (cd) and prelude to the new world (book)

::: SBC - 011 and SBC - 012 at long last simple box construction presents THE NEW WORLD full length cd and PRELUDE TO THE NEW WORLD hand-bound book of photos. in essence this is two releases in one that are meant to compliment each other. the premium quality taiyo yuden cdr was printed in-house and features just under an hour worth of music. the book was also entirely printed and stamped in house and features 22 photographs and stamped artwork. both are limited to an edition of hand numbered 150 copies and are entirely hand made. each copy includes both items with corresponding edition numbers. all art work, photos, design and layout by simple box construction/ a death cinematic. preview the album in its entirety here.

::: SBC - 011 THE NEW WORLD (cd) and packaging. this release was recorded between winter 2009 and fall 2010. all sounds improvised from guitar, amp, and effects pedals. the monologue was recorded by Matt Finney and arranged by a death cinematic. THE NEW WORLD text was written and read by Matt Finney. PRELUDE TO THE NEW WORLD text which makes up the track titles was written by a death cinematic. each printed cd comes in a brown, hand printed envelope. the cd and book come in a hand made balsa wood and western red cedar veneer box/ gatefold. the covers consists of heavy weight printing paper with hand printed text and images, housed in a hand made vellum slip sleeve. all covers and vellum sleeves were cut and scored by hand and printed at the simple box construction studio. more detail images can be viewed in the simple box construction album for this release. for reviews of this release please go here.

::: SBC - 012 (book). this is a small format hand made version of a previously released very limited larger book of the same title (SBC - 013). all the pages were scored, folded and cut by hand, printed on bright white paper and stitched together. the horse stamp was drawn and designed by simple box construction and is based on a drawing entitled THOU ART THE HOPES SLAIN BY THE HANDS OF OUR ENTERPRISE. each page in the book was hand stamped. the stamping process ultimately destroyed the stamp as with each page the stamp was altered and cut away. each book is hand-bound in acid free brown charcoal paper and black linen tape. all the covers were also hand cut and stamped. more detail images can be viewed in the simple box construction album for this release.

::: you can view a full length hd video for THE NEW WORLD track here. my sincerest thanks to matt finney for writing and reading. sorry it took so long. and many thanks frederick lloyd for making the outstanding video.

available in limited hand numbered quantities.

simple box construction ::: update for the new year, new video and release date

::: this is the new year. perhaps a year to end all years, if you subscribe to that sort of thing. regardless of what may come there is some very exciting things happening now.

::: there are several outstanding orders of older releases that will be shipping this week, my apologies for the delay. in the next week or so the pre orders and promos for THE NEW WORLD will begin to ship. the official release date for the album is january 31st, so there is still time to take advantage of the pre order. this release has also been subject to numerous delays and i'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting.

::: to make up for the delay here is the full video for the title track to THE NEW WORLD. this video was written directed and edited by U.K. musician and filmmaker, frederick lloyd. it is an honor to be a part of frederick's growing body of outstanding work. this track also features matt finney, of heinali and matt finney, reading one of his poems. the only way to hear this before the album comes out is to watch the video. enjoy.
