Who else has preordered Ghost Dance vinyl or CD?

I’m so excited! I usually get records at gigs, but this one is special ❤️

Apologies to those who can’t get hold of it - I’ll be travelling to Tennessee in September from the UK if anyone needs help getting it (I only have so much suitcase space though…)

Anyone else loving this one? One of my favourite songs to sing along to at the moment!

I’m really excited to hear this album! (Did anyone manage to listen to the whole thing when they accidentally released it early on Bandcamp?)

International fans, I really want us to put our heads together and find a way of getting the physical album - vinyl and CD - to you. Haiver said because they’re independent they don’t have international distribution rights.

I might be missing something, but I thought on Bandcamp bands could set up Fulfilment Partner Accounts, which mean an independent band can still sell copies in different countries.

“Managing Global Fans with International Shipping
Bandcamp is a global platform. You might have ten fans in Tokyo, fifty in Berlin, and three in a tiny village in the Andes. Shipping internationally from a home office is a paperwork headache. Customs forms, VAT, and last mile delivery issues can lead to "lost" packages and angry emails.
A professional Bandcamp fulfillment partner understands international shipping logistics. They can help you navigate DDP shipping so your fans aren't hit with surprise tax bills when the mailman arrives. This creates a much smoother experience and keeps your "Global" status intact.”

Does anyone understand more about this? The stats for this sub show there are fans in US and Canada. We’re a tiny sub right now, so maybe we could even do something as simple as crowdfunding to ship to diehard fans who feel they are missing out? It’s only a small thing, but I know this band already means so much to some of us and I would love if we could put our heads together and find a way to get the audience physical media out to those it would mean a lot to.

For those lucky enough to see them live, what was your first gig?

Mine was the Voodoo rooms in Edinburgh on Feb 23rd 2024, where I also got to see the amazing Devin Casson for the first time!

Hey friends. I'm wondering if anyone knows how this will work with the vinyl/cd release. I really want to grab one. Is it going to be available in record stores or only through the haiver website?
I'm in Canada and with shipping to me the record is in the 100$+ category and I just can't swing that.

Via the band's instagram, you can buy prints via the link below:

I’m Liz, a new mod! Frightened Rabbit got me through the worst days of my life, and when the first single by Haiver dropped I was sold.

I attempted to get to one of their first gigs in Edinburgh but my husband rear ended another car 1 hour into the 6 hour journey so had to catch them in Glasgow, and in Aberdeen. I met another awesome artist in Aberdeen called Steven Kemp - you should all check him out!

Super excited to add the new album to my record collection, and excited to meet more fan of this awesome band

Haiver posted that Monorail Music are selling Ghost Dance in white vinyl with signed insert card! I’m glad I saw this as was about to order another copy for my dad’s birthday present but now he can have the unsigned one and this is mine 😂

CLOSED FOR NOW! Thank you to those who offered! I hope Haiver’s audience grows so much we’ll be begging for more mods in the future. The band do seem positive about doing an AMA, so that’s something we can hopefully look forward to around the album’s release (I’m thinking the week after the album is released, so people can hear the whole thing and ask questions about the songs etc).

Thank you all for being good eggs. I didn’t doubt it, as I think all of us here are probably big into kindness and recognise the importance of supporting one another, but seriously thank you. So many fan spaces are toxic (have you seen the Heated Rivalry fan spaces?!?!? You couldn’t pay me to mod that horny bunch 😭) and I think Scott left an incredible legacy which is reflected in the Frabbits spaces. Let’s make sure we carry it on 💙🐇 To new beginnings! 🙌🏻

I’m shite at this. So, this is my official call for mods! (I got auto corrected to “kids” then, ffs, last thing I need 😭)

We had some really good news, Haiver got in touch and they are sending us content for this subreddit, so if anyone would like to volunteer here to be a mod, that would be so helpful. Once their album is out and we get more content, HOPEFULLY this place will fill up a little bit and I would appreciate the help, just in case we get any howlers.

My only requirements are that my mods are sweetie pies who want to uphold the kind of energy over on Frightened Rabbit. That we’re a community who are kind to each other (because we’re all going to be sensitive little souls here) and we make sure it’s the kind of place people are welcome and safe at all times.

I even asked the band if they’d like to do an AMA nearer to the album release date, so it would be nice to have at least three mods here for that, to make sure questions are respectful and there’s as little spam as possible. They haven’t confirmed if they’d like to do this yet but I remain optimistic lol.

So, please volunteer! Thank you!

Been waiting for this!

Just stumbled onto Bandcamp and seen the full version of give is available to buy and stream!

Crime was released on Friday! How are you enjoying it so far? I love it. I’m stunned by the perfect run of these first releases. I was thinking of running a poll to see what people’s favourite track is so far but I realised I don’t even think I can choose!

Hey everyone! I'm u/147Link, Amy, a founding moderator of r/haiver.

This is the place to celebrate Haiver, share your pictures and gig experiences, talk about what the music means to you, share news and merch drops and kill time until their album Ghost Dance finally graces our record players, hi-fi systems and phones.

Vibe check

Let’s keep the community supportive and inclusive. A lot of us are already part of the “communal heart” of Frightened Rabbit. Let’s make sure that carries on in this space and lead with kindness. Haiver are already proving to be an incredible band in their own right and I hope we can make this place something which uplifts them and each other. 💙

Let’s kick things off!

1) Introduce yourself in the comments below.

2) Post something today - anything - like your favourite songs or lyrics, how you discovered them, or anything else you feel fits here.

3) If you know someone who would love this community, please invite them to join!

4) Interested in helping out? I’m currently the only moderator, so please reach out to me to apply as I have barely any idea what I’m doing.

Most of all, thank you for joining the sub and helping to get this off the ground! I don’t know about you guys, but I feel so lucky to have heard Haiver so early on.

It feels exciting to be here at the start, watching each new development. They definitely have the potential to be a much-loved band and we’ll be able to be the obnoxious people who can say, “Yeah, I’ve liked them since that first demo of So Slow, before they got popular.” I’ll be dead smug about it and chuffed for them when they make it big. They certainly deserve it.

Amy 💙

It's really happening! Let's get the band the love they deserve for this beautiful album. Hope it's the first of many to come.

Have you been lucky enough to see them live yet? Would love to hear all your stories, see your pictures, hear why this band means something to you.
