Info:

Weatherday is the noise-pop project of the mononymous Swedish artist Sputnik. While they have also found success with their side project, Lola's Pocket PC, it is their cult-acclaimed album Come in that has garnered them a large and dedicated following through its raucous musical universe and serpentine sparklepunk stylings. Often heralded as an achievement of lo-fi bedroom pop tangled with threads of emo and DIY, Come in is better described, in its author’s own words, as a “life goal.”

The initial spark that ignited the fiery, heated debut from Weatherday originated from Sputnik’s desire to write, perform, and produce a record all on their own, from the ground up. Starting in 2014-2015, their preliminary attempts at what would eventually become Come in first materialized as a shoegaze EP, and then a dream-pop meets chamber-pop LP. Ever the perfectionist though, Sputnik wasn’t satisfied with the results and deleted the releases without a trace, finally deciding to set out in the direction of something more akin to their longtime influences of emo and its various subgenres.

After two years of tinkering in this stylistic sweetspot, Sputnik settled on the eleven knotted, maximal tracks that comprise Come in. From the caustic, harsh peaks of “Sleep in while you’re doing your best” to the soothing piano-laden passages of “Embarrassing paintings” and experimental, granular coda of “Water dreamer the same,” the range of Weatherday’s debut is doubtlessly a product of an artist who refuses to compromise a single shred of their vision.

All purchases come with your choice of a FLAC, ALAC, MP3 320, MP3 VBR or AAC 256 download.

Please note:

We are dealing with delays for all formats. More info:

cassettes: Will be completed in Canada on September 28. They will need to clear customs and arrive at our warehouse in Austin, TX, USA (for Bandcamp and Topshelf US shop orders) and our warehouse in Leeds, UK (for Topshelf UK shop orders). We expect all cassette orders to be shipping in early October.

vinyl: a portion of the packaging didn’t pass the manufacturer’s quality control standards upon inspection so they had to disassemble the records and re-print this portion of the packaging, then re-assemble the records. This is being completed this week and records will be completed at the manufacturer in Europe on September 23. Orders placed through Bandcamp or the Topshelf US shop will need to be shipped from Europe by sea freight and then clear customs in NYC where they will then ship domestically to our warehouse in Austin, TX, USA. This will take over a month, unfortunately, and we don’t expect to have these in our warehouse until approximately late October, but we will know an exact date in the coming weeks. Orders placed through the Topshelf UK shop will ship from our warehouse in Leeds, UK. These copies will also ship from the manufacturer in Europe, but will arrive much earlier and should begin shipping in early October.

CD: Will be completed on September 20 in the US and shipped to our warehouse in Austin, TX, USA within a few days. Copies will arrive about a week later in our Leeds, UK warehouse and begin promptly shipping as well. All CD orders will be shipping out before October.

merch: All merch is completed. If you ordered just a merch item, it has or will ship out to you soon. If you ordered a copy of “Come In” with your merch item, they will ship together when the album comes in stock.

Please note: This item is a pre-order and will not be available until it is manufactured and delivered to us. We will send download codes on or just before that time.
