The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth - Coloured Version (Vinyl)
The Strokes’ 2006 release, 'First Impressions of Earth' was a model misunderstood album - flawed and yet still host to a unique and worthwhile character. It is tremendously raw and yet, in the midst of this muddle, a frantic spontaneity can be found that would not exist in a more polished product. Nick Valensi’s guitar work often soars - “You Only Live Once” and “Electricityscape” being particularly worthy of note - and Julian Casablancas’ lyrics and delivery are on form and when 'First Impressions of Earth' topples into its crescendos it really is quite wonderful. Overall it’s the type of album that a band’s discography benefits from - a stripped-down, drawn-out deviation from the norm, a peek behind the curtain with enough quality to retain your respect, if not your awe (Audioxide).
Limited hazy red coloured vinyl version.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
