PRODUCT DETAILS
CELEBRATE THE 20th ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR ACCLAIMED SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM WITH IT'S FIRST-EVER VINYL RELEASE. Twenty years after the release of one of the most captivating albums of the 2000s, Howling Bells announce the 20th Anniversary Edition of their self-titled debut album, ?released via Nude Records. Originally released in 2006, 'Howling Bells' marked a striking debut for the Australian band. Produced by Grammy Award-winning Ken Nelson (Coldplay, Gomez, The Charlatans), ?the album introduced their cinematic blend of darkly romantic songwriting, atmospheric guitars, and Juanita Stein's unmistakable vocals. ?Hailed upon release as a modern alternative classic, Pitchfork praised Stein's ""thoroughly unexpected, confidently strange, and immediately commanding"" voice, while NME simply called it ""an extraordinary album. "" The Guardian?described it as ""bruising, narcotised rock'n'roll, refracted through the bottom of a glass, darkly... on the verge of unequivocal magnificence"". ?MOJO celebrated ""an utterly flawless, heart-twisting vocal throughout, "" praising her ability to turn ""tales of sorrow and betrayal"" into ""something exquisite, "" and?Clash observed that ""it's the voice that grabs you, "" calling it ""a wonderfully lucid piece of songwriting, emotion lingering on each note. "". Twenty years later, the album retains it's intoxicating magic. Still, the opening seconds pull you in; still, the record won't let you go. For the first time ever on vinyl, listeners can experience one of the great alternative debuts of it's era in a format worthy of it's enduring legacy. ""OK, now I can finally listen to?Setting Sun?on vinyl and be reminded all over again why I love Howling Bells"" Chris Martin. ""There was a time when we thought great records would just keep rolling in. We didn't realize we were living in a golden age until it was gone. Twenty years later, Howling Bells stands as a testament to what we've been missing"" Brandon Flowers. ""A haunting, beautiful and at times emotionally brutal debut by one of alt-rock's unsung talents"" Brett Anderson. ""Listening to Howling Bells' debut album was a cultural awakening for me back in the early 2000s. It reminded me that writing artful, sophisticated pop music was absolutely possible. Twenty years later, this record still sounds so fresh and exciting"" Anna Calvi

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
