Up for auction is my copy of Balam Acab's "See Birds" EP. This is an original first pressing from 2010 on TRI ANGLE records. This is an import from the UK 33 ⅓ RPM, 45 RPM. I am the only owner and I played the album once when I purchased it to make a vinyl rip and then put it into storage until I took it out to take the photos you see here. 
Both the vinyl and the sleeve are in excellent condition; I could see no damage to report. Let me know if you have questions or would like additional photos.
"Sturdy as these songs are, what's really impressive about Koone's music is how he's able to play with contrast and draw out emotion. Tension seems to be the key. On the eastern-tinged "Regret Mistakes", some very light, angelic verses pull the song upward, but when the beat comes in, all gritty and mangled, it yanks you right back to earth. And for digital music, it can be especially evocative. In "Big Boy", which incorporates 80s synths and watery Animal Collective textures, he makes a sampled kids' chorus feel weirdly somber. Next to big, threatening beats, the children sound too young to be at this adult party, and it gives a sense of innocence lost." -Pitchfork

**I will ship the item wrapped in bubble wrap in a cardboard LP mailer. Unless you specifically contact me to request otherwise, I will ship with the disc outside of the main jacket to protect the seams from damage in transit. I do not currently have access to a turntable, so I must visually grade my records. If you have any questions or would like to see more photos, reach out.
