Robin, if I knew how to reach you, I’ll send you a copy for sure. I’m a huge fan of your music.
”A great indie rock record. Actually more specifically a great dreamy post-rock record. And I love dreamy post-rock. At least that’s what I would call it. And considering I started The Flower Shop Recordings as a hand-stamped hand-numbered limited edition 7” record label I also love the fact that Mote and Almost Halloween Records from Italy are releasing this as a limited edition (I believe 100?) hand-painted double-vinyl LP. Respect. The infamous Gentse collective Kinky Star (label/bar/hedonism) are also releasing this digitally but if I wasn’t currently living out of a suitcase I know where my money would go…”

”Vulnerable in The A.M. Light” is available in two editions, one with hand-drawn sleeves (50 copies) and one with professionally printed sleeves (50 copies). Double vinyl.
Here’s some info on the band:
Founded in a galaxy far away, Mote was discovered by Patrick Bruyneel at the legendary Democrazy club in Ghent, Belgium. As a result, Mote’s first outing was as support act for Smog, featuring Bill Callaghan and Cynthia Dall on the band’s Burning Kingdom tour. In the years that followed Mote would support a host of U.S. role models, including Guv’ner, The Grifters, Archers of Loaf, Unwound and Blonde Redhead. Mote released singles and EP’s on Rotten Windmill Recs, Blackbean and Placenta Recs, Toothpick Recs, Ubik Recs and Schrimper Recs. Despite band members spreading their wings across the globe (Sydney, NYC, San Francisco, Brussels, Ledeberg…) Tom Lezaire, Lobke D’Hespeel, Ben Depoorter and Glen Steenkiste found time to get together at irregular intervals to record the full length album ”Vulnerable in the a.m. light”, which we have released on 100 vinyl discs.
