The Download: Live Long Winters MP3s

Over two years have passed since the Long Winters’ last LP, so Barsuk Records and Dorsia Films are throwing fans a bone. The Long Winters Live at the Showbox DVD is now available for $15 at the Barsuk label site. Here’s what the band had to say on Wednesday via MySpace:

“We hope you are doing well, and apologize for being incommunicado for the last little while. We promise we have been keeping busy; work is well underway on our eventual follow-up to Putting The Days To Bed. To tide you over until then, we have an exciting announcement!

The wonderful team at Dorsia films has just released a DVD chronicling our tour-closing, homecoming show at Seattle’s Showbox Theater on April 14th, 2007 that we wanted to draw your attention to. It’s available through Barsuk and other respectable retailers now!

It’s chalkfull of goodies, including 19 live tracks filmed in HD with 5.1 surround and 2.0 stereo sound mixed by John Goodmanson. Extras include a commentary track, and a featurette on the Through With Love documentary.

We are confident that it will be great for stuffing stockings, but perhaps not so great at stuffing turkeys.

There is only a limited pressing available, so be sure to act fast! Thanks everyone, and happy holidays! We wish you the very best for 2009 and hope to see you all soon!”
