Carpet Taking Preorders for Secret Box
Word has been floating around for a couple years of a next full-length outing from engaging German psych-proggers Carpet. The album, which has been revealed as being called Secret Box, will be out this Spring on Elektrohasch Schallplatten, the Colour Haze-owned imprint that also stood behind Carpet‘s 2013 outing, Elysian Pleasures (review here), and has newly reissued that offering on CD and a limited yellow vinyl, which of course is already gone. Preorders are up for Secret Box now, for CD, LP and limited blue LP, and frankly, it doesn’t like an unreasonable option. I bet it looks pretty sweet in blue with the cover’s color scheme matching and all.
Carpet, who also released the Riot Kiss 7″ (review here) in 2015, have some tour dates lined up for April and as Elektrohasch states in the newsletter snippet below, the CD will be available by then and the vinyl might as well. Good to know it’ll show up one way or the other, and since I don’t happen to have the fortune of being in Cottbus, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, etc., when Carpet roll through, I’ll just be keeping my eyes open for more about the record, for which you can see the artwork and more information below.
Goes like this:
