This month's album is "Person Pitch" by Panda Bear!

Panda Bear is one of the two founding members of Animal Collective, and I have been a big fan of their music for a long time. I'm so happy to have this record! I don't have any solo stuff from Panda Bear. It sounds a lot like Animal Collective, repetitive and full of interesting noise. I love it!
Hooray for colored vinyl! And hooray for double albums! I like that they chose two different but complimentary colors for the vinyl. As usual, this is a Vinyl Me, Please exclusive pressing.
I love the artwork this month! This is the kind of trippy artwork I would expect to go along with this album. The artist is Mi Ju.
Every package includes something written by Vinyl Me, Please co-founder Tyler Barstow. For several months recently, the written piece was a history of the band and/or album, but it looks like this month we are back to his poetry. I preferred the history.
The cocktail this month is the Search for Delicious. I am not a big bourbon fan, and I thought this was a little bitter for my tastes. My husband liked it, though.
Verdict: This was an awesome package from Vinyl Me, Please! I love the album this month! The artwork was beautiful, too. I wasn't crazy about the cocktail, but that's okay. I think this is an amazing subscription for audiophiles and collectors, especially with monthly exclusive pressings of each album.
