They planted a few vinyl records without labeling except for some weird codes.
And through all kinds of media new parts of the puzzle were released.. resulting in information on
the Tomorrow's Harvest album. Which turned out to be a bit meh.

There were six unique records which had what sounded like recordings of shortwave radio number stations on planted in record stores on record store day. The numbers then played into some weird online thing culminating in the discovery of a website where you entered a code and so could order the record or whatever.

I see it as just a bit of fun combined with very clever marketing. That shit gets fans talking. Not really pretentious.

as marketing strategies go the afx one is pretty unremarkable.
hardly the first to advertise with a blimp and he essentially just tweeted a link to the tracklist?
bare ppl on facebook going on like it's some stroke of genius.
