Brand New - Leaked Demos 2006 (Ice Blue Vinyl)

Ice Blue Vinyl

The debut vinyl pressing of the nine demos that reached the internet on January 24, 2006, years before the band released them deliberately. Collectors knew the set for a long time as Fight Off Your Demons. Brand New's own Procrastinate! Music Traitors imprint gave it an official release in 2015, on cassette, and it has not been cut to vinyl until now. The label's note on this pressing says it still does not know how the recordings got out.

The recordings come from sessions that ran through the winter of 2004 and across 2005, largely in Mike Sapone's basement, with a stretch in Oxford, Mississippi alongside producer Dennis Herring before the band returned to Sapone. What circulated were working takes at different stages of finish, from acoustic sketches to full-band arrangements. Two were carried forward and completed for The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me later that year: "Yeah (Sowing Season)" and "Luca."

This pressing is ice blue vinyl, catalog number PMT-002, with art by Morning Breath, a printed inner sleeve, and liner notes credited to Jesse Lacey and the band. An electric smoke pressing was issued alongside it.
