Briar is the new expression on the ever-curious path of Daniel Romano.
Briar is an act of sacred imagination and symbol of duality. It is cosmic and immediate. It is the Mother Tree that brings forth the soul and protects it in a cover of thorns. The soul’s journey is to collapse this duality through polarity inversion into a higher harmonic state. The Briar is the guardian of sacred knowledge, that is not amassed as “information” but is eternal and waiting to be remembered. In song.
Beautifully sung and played entirely on acoustic instruments, Briar furthers the psychedelic folk journeys that have run parallel to Daniel Romano’s street level rock and roll work with the powerful and beloved Outfit. Beyond the classic Finally Free, beyond Visions of the Higher Dream, beyond Dandelion - something new and ancient. Devoted and yearning, deeply human and embodied, Briar was recorded on an eight track cassette machine with a Royer 121 and a Sennheiser 409. It was mixed down to a two track Marantz cassette machine by Daniel Romano. It was mastered by Kristian Montano.
Briar is offered as testament to the deeply sacred qualities of music. It was wholly conjured through “instant intuition” and silent listening. No thoughts, no questions, just flowing with the breath of the cosmic—lost between the air and sky—but I’m gonna fly. Serious, like singing, curious of our next beginning. It is imperfect and asymmetrical (as the universe).
The Briar reminds us that polarities are not opposites, they are a unified field, and with coherence and balance we can radically transform. We can move from separation to union; from ego to soul; from dogma to Gnosis; and embrace our inherent interconnectedness.
Per aspera ad astra. (Through hardship to the stars)

Shipping, Local Pick Up, Returns & Cancellations Policies.
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:
Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
