The Format hint at vinyl release

The Format, the former band of fun.'s Nate Ruess and Destry's Sam Means have posted a tweet, hinting at new developments.

The Format, the former band of fun.'s Nate Ruess and Destry's Sam Means have posted a tweet, hinting at new developments.


Means, however, appears to have divulged even more information through an earlier Instagram post, spelling out the likely nature of today's forthcoming announcement.


Check out the post, below:


"We'll just take these home, run them over with a fine tooth comb, cross the "t"s and dot the... lower case "j"s #happybirthday"


Today is the ten-year anniversary of The Format's debut full-length, 'Interventions + Lullabies,' which would reinforce Means' "Happy Birthday" caption. 'Interventions' was the group's only full-length released through Elektra Records, which distributes its re-issues via Rhino, the label named in the document photographed. Additionally, the photo is geotagged at Hello Merch, The Format's previous merchandise supplier, and the words "reissue" and "140g" would strongly suggest a vinyl release.


With the evidence at hand, it's very likely that today's announcement will be a tenth anniversary reissue of 'Interventions + Lullabies' on the old vinyl format (pun intended).
