This 2nd pressing is 1000, so there should be more than enough for retail.  For context, Fungus Shui is a trippy banjo time warp that combines nostalgic Americana/bluegrass tropes with Pinkus' punk-rock roots. A modern twist on an old-timey sound, Fungus Shui is a musical journey filled with stomps, hollers, raucous banjo melodies and gritty punk vocals. The album was written, recorded, and mixed by Pinkus himself at Plastic Cannon Studio in Asheville, North Carolina, and was mastered by Kramer. Fungus Shui was released on Shimmy-Disc on August 20, 2021.
