TOUCHE AMORE & SELF DEFENSE FAMILY 'SELF LOVE' 7"

The way all fifteen players get folded into one track is what sold me — you can hear each part but nothing feels crowded. Sleeve art is sharp too and the 7" itself is dead quiet between songs.

Having 15 musicians from both camps actually playing as one band instead of a split gives this a real cohesive feel, and the pressing sounds clean with no surface noise. The vinyl itself feels sturdy too, not one of those flimsy thin ones.

Picked this up mainly out of curiosity about how 15 musicians could pull off one cohesive 7", and honestly it works better than I expected, especially the B-side. The vinyl itself feels solid and the labels are clean, though I wish the sleeve was a bit sturdier for the price.
