Envy And Thursday To Release Split Album

New Jersey's post-hardcore outfit Thursday and Tokyo's post-rock screamo band Envy will team up together and release a split LP+CD. However, the release date for this split album was not mentioned. The album will be released under Envy's label, Temporary Residence Limited (Mono, Explosions In The Sky, Rumah Sakit).

The LP and CD will be packaged as one and will only be available at independent music stores. A deluxe limited edition release will also be released, featuring hand-screenprinted artwork, exclusively sold through Temporary Residence.

An official statement by Temporary Residence:-
We've decided to convert rumor into fact and lay it all out for all you good peoples. New Jersey's Thursday and Old Tokyo's Envy will come together to release a split LP+CD this fall, and we will be releasing it. It will be a limited edition LP+CD set. There will be no separated CD or LP versions. Both formats will come in one package, and both will contain the same music. This means it probably won't be available in Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, or most "record" stores in the mall. But it will certainly be available at your local independently owned record store, while supplies last. We're not exactly sure how limited it will be yet; maybe 10,000, maybe a billion (probably closer to the former, as we really don't have space for a billion LPs). In addition, there will be a deluxe, hand-printed edition that will be sold exclusively through our webstore. These will be screenprinted by hand, and will be limited colored vinyl editions. There is no specific release date set yet, but look for this around Aug/Sep.

And the statement made by Thursday:-
"It's our pleasure to announce a split release with one of our favorite bands in the world. We are currently in the studio recording tracks for a 12" release with Japan's Envy. For those of you unfamiliar with Envy, they are an experimental, epic, lush post-rock band that's heavier than just about anything we've ever heard. Despite the enormous geographical distances between us, the bands have evolved from the same thrashy underground post-hardcore scene (They've toured the states and shared stages with our friends in Malady and Hot Cross). Honestly, there's no way to properly describe them."
