THE SILVER - LOOKING GLASS HYMNAL BLUE
LP and CD are both shipping now. Both versions include a wonderful huge booklet with all stunning art by the one and only Paul Romano. I truly can’t think more appropriate releases to encapsulate the label’s mission to release expansive, genre-challenging art than these last two releases by The Silver and Yellow Eyes. If you don’t see stock at our bandcamp page then go to our website. Once pre-orders are completed I typically pull all physical down from Bandcamp so I can manage one sales channel.
Copies of The Silver will be en route to Evil Greed in Europe this week on both color variants. Alongside the blue vinyl repress of Yellow Eyes Confusion Gate 2xLPs.
Furthermore, this day has come at last, after 6 years of planning and scheduling. This is the final Gilead Media release of new music. From here on out it will all be reissues and represses as needed. We will keep working on getting those beloved records out there as there is demand for them, and the repress list will keep us busy enough to make me still feel deeply connected to the art. But today we officially shift into maintenance mode and I start tying up tons of other loose ends behind the scenes and continue to shift more of my focus on running my record stores, @erodingwinds .
I’m eternally grateful for everyone that has loved this music as much as I have over the last 21 years. But this is a good thing. The levels of stress caused by this work take their toll. And even though I treasure the friendships and connections I’ve made with all the artists and supporters, I still feel as though a great weight has been lifted off my chest and I can take a deep breath for the first time in over a decade. I need to be able to focus that energy on my health for the future. I’m 43 this year and that means Gilead Media will have existed for over half my life at this point.
Unbelievable.
To the future. Talk soon.

Every once in awhile I get a chance to be part of something extraordinary. Our pre-planning dinner parties always feel like there is something electric happening, art, music and movies fill conversations while silently, "The Hourglass Sanatorium" provides ambiance. It might be a little art school but it hits every button of what a 16 year old me hoped my life would be; making art with friends. Thank you for trusting me with your music and ideas and above all our friendship. 💙
And an extra special thank you for the @thesilverofficial appearance, looking like The Bad Seeds at a sweet 16 Vampire birthday party! (Story)
The carousel: The Cover and a few details. There will be a post or a few about the art and the processes over the next little while. It was really a fun one for me.
Thank you Adam @gileadmedia ! I am so excited to see this one in person.
