Why?
Alex Unger began recording his own songs onto a cassette deck in 1999, and discovered it was therapeutic. In 2004, JES was officially formed to help people record music that might otherwise not find its way to listeners in the profit-driven world of modern popular music. We aren’t really a record label - the CD-selling aspect of JES is just a storefront, a little grocery store with offerings of what we really enjoy, homemade music.
As for why we use CDR’s: yes, they degrade over time, after roughly 4-7 years they’ll be dead. We expect most people to save them digitally to their computers, mp3 players, etc. We use CDR’s because they allow us to give you the same fidelity as real CD’s at less than half the price of manufacturing commercial CD’s.
New Releases:
-Maggie Claire Cross’ first release, “Away! Away! Away!”, is out now. The mini-album features 9 songs of just piano, guitar and Maggie’s powerful yet delicate vocals.
-Fin’s first official album on JES is also now out, and contains 16 tracks of blissed-out-experimental-bedroom-noise-pop. Each album is hand assembled by Fin and is a limited edition.
CATALOG
Okay, here's how to order our music:
1) Make sure the release you want is not "oop" (Out of print).
2) Keep track of the price beside each release below. That is the price before shipping.
3) Shipping in Canada is a dollar a CD, shipping in the US is $2 a CD and anywhere else is $3. Buttons and patches are free. We are very sorry the shipping prices are so high, but we can't control them.
4) Either A) send us a money order, cheque or cash through the mail OR B) use PayPal.
A) Please make sure the cheque/money order/whatever is made out to Alex Unger, and NOT Journey's End Studios. Then send it to:
Alex Unger / 1905 Camp Line / Lakefield, ON / K0L 2H0
B) Our PayPal address is info@journeysendstudios.org. If you have a PayPal account, you probably know how to do this. If not, please e-mail us and we can help you.
5) Your order will be sent as soon as possible, but sometimes we need to make your order and it might take us as much as a week to do that. So it can take anywhere from a few days to 4 weeks at the worst to receive our order. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, let us know if you haven't gotten your CD's from us, because we want to make you happy and if we don't know that you're unhappy, we can't do anything about the problem.
ALSO: 3" CDR's are not for your MacBook or any other trayless CD drives (like the ones found in cars). They will get lost, and you will have to go fishing for them with a butter knife and that's not what you want.
