For its 10th anniversary, The Ongoing Concept’s mind-blowing, conceptual album “Handmade” gets a first-time-on-vinyl treatment. The band hand carved all of their own instruments and recorded the album over a decade ago using lumber from the same tree, and now, in 2025, they took the same tree stump and fashioned a 1/1 handmade box out of the same lumber that will be buried on the grounds of Sloss Furnaces for Furnace Fest 2025. Only ONE person on Earth will find it after solving a series of clues. Was it you?

The repress features:

– A brand new, for-vinyl album remaster by TOC’s Dawson Scholz

– Two, reversable, textless album covers (the original album release artwork, plus an unseen image of the boys creating the instruments in their driveway all those years ago)

– A retrospective commentary Dawson about the making of Handmade

– Album-identifying Hype sticker

– One-ever-made, giant, handmade wooden box, featuring a block of wood signed by the whole band (Furnace Fest exclusive “Treasure Hunt” variant… not included with this online purchase)
