Boston alt-jam act Guster have completed work on their next studio album. The band has
teamed with Pledge Music to create a pre-order site with all sorts of "fantasy options" that fans can
purchase in which they'll get to do such things as give Ryan Miller a beard, skydive with
Miller and Adam Gardner and meet up with Brian Rosenworcel for a karaoke party.
As per the pre-order
site, Guster expects to release their first studio effort since 2010's Easy
Wonderful "early next year." The new LP will be the band's first independent release
since 1997. Anyone who orders anything from the Pledge Music site will be added to their All Access Pass list where they'll get first access to tracks, album
commentaries, videos, tour dates, etc. In addition, those on the All Access Pass list will
be eligible to win some of the "completely ridiculous prizes" they are giving away such
as:
- The Guster Concert Ticket Passport (2 tickets for you to every Guster headlining show in
2015)
- Assistant Guitar Tech for the day at a Guster concert near you
- Autographed vinyl test pressing of the new record
- 1 of every merch item in the Guster web store
- Never-again Guster bobble heads
- Two painted union suits from the “Do You Love Me” video
- Entire Guster studio album catalog transferred to cassette with a handwritten track list
- Autographed Taylor GS mini acoustic guitar
We're fans of some of the "fantasy options" available for big spenders such as "Camp
Guster" (Spend a day with Guster on the idyllic Maine seacoast), "NYC Twilight Bike Tour
With Luke" (Guster's Luke Reynolds takes you and a friend on a twilight bike tour through
NYC), "Shit Your Pants With Guster" (You and a friend go skydiving with Ryan and Adam) and
"Surf Lessons With Adam" (Surf lessons for you and a friend with Adam and certified surf
instructor). There's even a $150K option for "Guster Buys You A Tesla."
All of the spendy options, as well as many that are more affordable, can be purchased
through the pre-order
site.
