Sinkane - Color Voice (Pre-Sale) on Insound.com

As Ahmed Gallab makes his way across North America as percussionist for Caribou, we are happy to keep the Sinkane fire warm as we prepare for his first full-length release Color Voice. Though the release date is less than a month away, Sinkane is already receiving high praise for the four-song, 35-minute album, and that support will continue to build for the May 6th release date. You can pre-order your limited edition vinyl at Insound.com. We pressed and dressed 1000 limited edition vinyl copies. 500 in a 180-gram White vinyl and 500 in Picture-disc format. Individually numbered, these copies are a one-time only pressing, so once they are gone, they are gone. Of course we also have them in CD and Download format.
