I believe that is a Photoshopped image and the person posting is a friend of the band.
Don't let that deter you from enjoying their tunes on Spotify, just don't expect to be able to buy the lp any time soon.

It is definitely on vinyl but it’s a fairly small pressing I believe. You are correct that they are friends of mine, but this photo wasn't’t shopped at all. The band is very... unique. Before the actual release of the LP they dropped a bunch of “well-worn” copies at the local thrift stores around town and people were finding them for $1 or whatever. Hence the banner at the top of the bandcamp page. There are still new copies available but as I’ve moved from NC I’m not sure where else to buy them other than the local record stores.

This was my favorite record of 2018 so I’m glad a couple other folks have been able to enjoy it!
