Shipping & Pick-Up

SHIPPING POLICY

We offer FREE shipping on orders of $100 or more. All media orders (vinyl/CD/cassette) will ship via USPS media mail. Please be aware that we cannot provide free multiple shipments for a single order, so if your order includes pre-order items, the entire order will be held until all items are in stock and ready to be shipped.

Your tracking information usually updates within 24-72 hours. Once your order departs from our facility, we no longer have control over it. For assistance with missing packages, kindly reach out to your local post office branch. Please note that we are not responsible for stolen packages and are not able to refund you for your purchase if your package was stolen after delivery. Shipping times may vary.


FREE IN-STORE PICKUP

If you are local, we offer FREE in-store pickup on online orders.  Please note, however, that using Apple Pay at checkout will auto-fill a shipping charge and will not allow you the option to choose free in-store pickup. In other words, if you wish to choose free in-store pickup at checkout, you must checkout without using an accelerated payment method like Apple Pay.

Release Date: 6/26/2026  (Pre-orders will be shipped or available for in-store pickup within 3 days of expected release date. Please note release dates are subject to change. For orders placed that have other items along with the pre-orders, all items will be held until every item from the order is available to ship.)

This title is limited to 1 per customer. Any order placed for more than 1 will be cancelled.

SML is a Los Angeles based quintet featuring Anna Butterss, Jeremiah Chiu,
Josh Johnson, Booker Stardrum, and Gregory Uhlmann.

Spontaneous Music Live contains two side-length pieces of unedited
improvisation, recorded live at Los Angeles venue Zebulon during SML's
December 2025 three-night residency, just weeks after the release of the band's
second album HOW YOU BEEN. It was recorded and mixed live to stereo tape
by Bryce Gonzales (the same engineer/wizard known for his gorgeous live
captures/mixes of Jeff Parker's ETA IVtet).

Between HOW YOU BEEN and their 2024 debut SMALL MEDIUM LARGE
(both of which were heavily edited, shaped and post-produced) the band has
developed a reputation for records that are heavily fused, polished, and punchy.
The medium is on full post-modern display on those LPs, and the band’s post-
production knife can be responsible for much of the perspective—the tastiest
morsels collected, arranged, and rearranged just so.

Spontaneous Music Live removes the curatorial perspective and pulls the
curtain back on that search-pluck-reconstruct editing process. What we’re left
with is the psychedelic realism of the band in situ, in their home town,
collectively improvising, fully in-the-moment, mining for that moment of
discovery. We hear, in macro, each nugget of sound which could be the basis for a
future SML album track, spattered amongst the collective chaos-and-control like stars in the night sky.
