How to use the reserve function
If you'd like to purchase items from our site but want to save money on shipping costs, you can use our reserve function to combine your orders over an unlimited period of time, and ship them together for one combined shipping price when you are ready.
Just hit the 'reserve' button at the checkout page as your shipping option when you've finished making your order, and your order will automatically be held in reserve here until you are ready for us to ship everything to you.You can keep as many orders in reserve with us via our site as you like, until you are ready to ship. Just send us an email when you are ready to ship your reserve orders, and we will get in touch with the combined shipping price, or ship for free if you have exceeded the minimum order amount for free shipping to your address.
Can the reserve function be used to get free shipping? Yes - If your combined order total is more than £50 within the UK, over £150 within the EU, or over £225 worldwide, we'll ship your order to you via courier service, for free.
Here's a step by step guide to using it:
1. Click on the account icon to log into your account.
If you don't have an account, please click 'create account' to make one. If you had an account on the old RWDFWD site, please create a new one with the same email address used on the old site - this will ensure your previous orders are brought through to your new account.
2. Add records to your cart as normal.
3. When you're ready to check out, select 'ship'.
4. Then select 'Reserve items' on the shipping method list, then continue to payment.
5. Once payment is complete, your order will show in your account as 'unfulfilled'. We will have put all the products aside in reserve for you to combine with other orders and ship later in bulk.
6. When you're ready to ship all the items you have in reserve, email us on info@rwdfwd.com and we will calculate the shipping due and arrange for payment to be taken.
7. Sit tight and wait for your records to arrive in the post!

EU Order info
Unfortunately, the UK is no longer part of the EU - This means that certain shipments sent to addresses there from us may be subject to tax and / or import duty - All orders sent from RWDWD are sent ‘DDU’ - That is, duty unpaid - any import tax and/or duty is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
If you would like to use our reserve function to group several orders into one large shipment, we can arrange for it to be sent tax and duty pre-paid so you don’t have to worry about it at a later date - Contact us for more information.
Sao Paulo based artist Carla Boregas (last seen around these parts, via Bokeh Versions) steps up with a mesmerizing set of synth worlds, hushed ambience and delicate vocal narration all served in abstract, shifting shapes on Pena Ao Mar, via iDEAL Recordings >>
Known also for activities in the post-punk / local industrial experimental scene via bands such as Rakta, here Carla conjures up a calmer, more watery, also perhaps more inward, explorative approach to sound and mood.
Some tracks tick to their own rhythm in a rising and falling fashion, as warbled keys find unlikely melodies in between the elements, others stretch out and meld in subtle ways, guiding our synapses into a cozy tangle of frequency. Tracks often build and expand over time, the drones fold over harmonic sequences amplified wizardry-level dynamic mixing of elements, such as on the title track Pena Ao Mar.
Bruised string instrumentation opens up the vortex on the following cut, a shade darker than the place we were led to before, swarming into a slow sandstorm and sharp tones that want to lift us up, fighting with the subtly alluring sound of scraped ceramics and bells anchoring the mood back down to ground level somehow.
Things fizzle and simmer on the following cuts, with hacked vocals from a paralell dimension interjecting icey reverberation on Sopro, whereas on Fronteira things are boiled down into pure drone DNA and ethereal swathes of ambience, and on the final cut, A Cidade Dos Outros, cicada-esque synthesis percolates in a brittle way, over filtered bubbles of synth sound and widening echo & reverberation - acting as the final pathway out of (or shall we say 'into'?) this particular consecution of moods which Carla Boregas opened up for us here with this softly incredible journey of an album, Pena Ao Mar.
Served on ocean blue vinyl.
