Hasta La Ideas

Record label Ghostly is offering a special edition vinyl version of Beacon’s album The Ways We Separate which is housed in a ‘cast sugar sculptural object’ by artist Fernando Mastrangelo

The 13″ by 13″ block, cast in sugar and epoxy will house a ‘dusty pink’ vinyl version of the album. The letters TWWS appear as if carved into its surface. Twenty copies will be made, which Ghostly is selling at $200 each.
