What's a test pressing?

Before a vinyl record goes into production, a handful of copies are pressed to check the sound. These are test pressings. Only a few exist, making them among the rarest versions of a record.

50% of the winning bid goes to Support Act.

About

Songs about staying when every instinct says run.

The Kiln is a new musical collaboration between Silverchair co‑founder Ben Gillies and producer and multi‑instrumentalist Joseph Prielozny.

Built on a shared love of songwriting, experimentation and honest storytelling, the duo's self-titled debut album explores the tension between holding on and letting go.
