Sombear (side project of Bradley Hale from Now, Now) has signed to TRANS- Records and will be releasing a split 7" with Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie) on Record Store day (limited to 100 copies). You can listen to the tracks from the 7" over at Stereogum.
We are writing to thank you for your purchase of this set and to address a problem that you may have discovered. By now, many of you have received your set, and you may be wondering why several of the records are mislabeled. It has been discovered that the records were mixed up at the manufacturing plant during production. We are looking into this issue and are working diligently to understand how this mix-up occurred. Rest assured, we will fix each and every one of the sets that are mislabeled. This will require us to have the mislabeled albums remanufactured and reshipped out...

While no information or statement from Artist in Residence about the mishap has come forward yet, we'll be sure to update you on the situation when we can.
