Today we are ecstatic to announce the Deluxe Edition for Miserable's incredible 2014 EP, Halloween Dream – out Sept. 4th. In addition to the four original songs, the Deluxe Edition will features demo versions of every song, and the unreleased "Palmistry Notes". Although the Deluxe Edition will only be available digitally, the five bonus songs will be pressed on a limited edition "Demos" cassette tape. 

To celebrate, Noisey premiered the music video for Miserable's "Orchid". On the song they said:

"It's beautiful, evocative music, an opiate hum anchored by Esfandiari's throaty howl and a woozy, hypnotic feel. Her musical output serves as therapy as she works through a poisonous upbringing, which adds a certain layer of desperation and urgency to the work itself; in the crassest terms, her pain is our gain."

More info:

Kristina Esfandiari is Miserable. Former vocalist of Bay Area shoegazers, Whirr, and current vocalist of King Woman, Kristina writes and performs a brand of moving and evocative music that oozes with nostalgia – and the Halloween Dream EP was no different. 

Originally released in the Spring of 2014, Halloween Dream will get the Deluxe Edition treatment on September 4th. Along with the original four songs, the Deluxe Edition of Halloween Dream includes demo versions of each song, recorded at home during the writing process, as well as “Palmistry Notes” – an unreleased song written during the Halloween Dream sessions. All nine songs that make up the Deluxe Edition will be made available digitally. 

A cassette tape titled Halloween Dream (Demos) will also be released on September 4th – it includes the four demos and “Palmistry Notes”. Lastly, the original 7” for Halloween Dream is finally being repressed and will also be released early September.
