Hey thanks Boyd. Deffo appreciated. I like the detail of her dress made up of leaves and hearts and heart-shaped leaves and hearts within hearts. Looking at the face, now I wonder if she is a Frankenstein creature at all. That line from the nose disappearing under the hair might be a string holding on a false nose, so maybe it's a girl who has made herself an avian costume to fly herself out of The Valley. Or going a step further into cuckoo interpretationland, she represents the album's core themes - the music notes, hearts and striations around her seemingly projecting and coalescing into this vision of freedom and flight of fancy. The 'dirt,' scuffing, and broken borders indicate that it wasn't an easy journey. There were many challenges along the way, but in the end The Valley gives you wings. Very Happy

I kind of see it as an angel masquerading as a bird. The wings don't look as though they were crafted like the faux feathers (leaves) and bird beak.

Oh really? Besides answering questions, linking images, interacting within the forum, responding to emails, writing journal entries, posting to Facebook and Twitter, taking pictures, posting videos, managing the band, designing tour posters, composing album artwork, fixing their gear, driving them across the country and around the globe for a dozen years, giving them instruments as children, inspiring them to chase their dreams, and bringing 4/5 of them into this world in the first place, WHAT have you ever done for us?!?



Very Happy

Hmm, good observation, her wings do look less 'homemade.' Further mystery.

Rather than create an entirely new thread, I'll just ask this here:

Are the t-shirts/hoodies in the store shipping at the same time as the pre-orders? I bought a hoodie earlier in the week, but it didn't say anything about when it was shipping, so I was a bit curious.

Are the shirts very long? I'm 6'6 roughly and am very long waisted so I don't want to buy a shirt if it's not going to fit in length...

It would appear that the package that arrived in the mail today answered my question for me.

Wow, has the big bundle with the litho & vinyl already sold out? Don't see that option on the merch page anymore. Awesome (for Eisley that is, not the people who still want a litho.) Cool
