Velour 100 : Fall Sounds LP

PRE-ORDER: Ships Fall 2026

Burnt Toast Vinyl and Lost in Ohio are proud to announce the first-ever vinyl pressing of Fall Sounds by Velour 100, due Fall 2026, in time for the album's 30th anniversary.

In 1995 at Eastern Michigan University, two people made a record: Trey Many (drummer for 4AD's His Name Is Alive) and Amon Krist (an art student and daughter of celebrated folk singer Jan Krist). Warren Defever recorded it, bringing the same atmospheric instincts that had made His Name Is Alive one of the most singular acts in the 4AD catalog. In 1996, Tooth & Nail released the result: Fall Sounds.

Comparisons were made to bands like Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, and Low, but were incomplete. Fall Sounds had something those records didn't have, a folk-like earthiness beneath the shimmer. The songs move from the reverie of "Stare Into Light" through the gorgeous, sun-catching acoustic strum of "Evergreen," to "Flourish," the album's most kinetic moment. The closer, "Dub Space," runs over eight minutes of guitar fingerpicking and cymbal wash, landing like a long exhale.

The album lived for 30 years on CD and cassette, gathering a devoted following that described it in quiet superlatives, with an increasing demand for a vinyl release. In the fall of 2026, on the album's 30th anniversary, the wait is over. This limited vinyl pressing was made in direct collaboration with Trey Many, who has gone on from Velour 100 to drum for Pedro the Lion, Starflyer 59 and Lo Tom. The album has been thoughtfully remixed by James McAlister (Sufjan Stevens, The National) and freshly remastered by Warren Defever himself, now a celebrated mastering engineer at Third Man in Detroit. Lacquers were cut by Lex van Coeverden in the Netherlands. A reimagned layout was provided by Jason71.

Pressed on Fall Sky Blue vinyl, while supplies last.

Pressing quantity determined by the number of spring 2026 pre-orders.
