About this project

Press 300 copies of the full length record, "Moth/Butterfly," inserting an 11" print of an accompanying painting by Brittani Irvin inside of each record jacket.

You can preview some of the music and Brittani's art here.

http://thespookfish.bandcamp.com/

Each copy will cost $16.  $12 for the record/print and $4 for the shipping.  I'll also, in addition, mail a cdr with the songs if you'd like, or a link to download the songs, whichever you'd prefer.

my email is mmdannyg@gmail.com

If we could sell 172 pre-orders then that would make the goal.  I have no idea if it is possible but this is the chance to find out.

This money will cover the record pressing, the printing of the painting, and the printing of the black and white record jacket(also designed by Brittani), as well as the Kickstarter/ Amazon fees.

Please note:  If you are not living in the USA, shipping could cost significantly more.  To ship a record internationally is about $14.  What I am hoping to do, is if several people order in a specific place(for example Busan), I'll ship them to a specific store or place in the city where you can pick up your things to cut down on your shipping cost.  We must discuss shipping if you live outside of the USA!!!

Thank you so much for your support.  It would mean the world to us if this was actually pressed!!!

My name is Dan Goldberg. My day job usually consists of education in some way or another and I've traveled all around the world in the past year and a half. My music, which I call 'The Spookfish,' is usually a strange and messy combination of rhythms and melodies that I try to let write themselves.

Currently living in Busan, South Korea, Britt Kee Irvin is in her third year of teaching.
