Pre-Orders

Pre-ordering an album does not mean you'll receive it before the rest of the world. In fact, depending on where you live and the ship date, you may not get the album until after its official release date. All pre-order products will display an expected "SHIPS ON OR AROUND" date in the product description, which is subject to change, due to unexpected delays, beyond our control. Additional items purchased on the same ticket as a pre-order will not ship until the time specified in the description of the pre-ordered item.

Final Run

Items with the "Final Run" tag are not eligible for exchanges.  

Vinyl & Posters

Vinyl records and posters are pristine when packed. Please be aware we DO NOT issue refunds or replacements for minor cosmetic damage, such as corner dings, bends, split inserts, and so on. We pack our vinyl and posters securely and carefully in custom crafted boxes and tubes, but in some cases this type of wear is simply unavoidable during transit.

Domestic orders take 1-2 business days to process, plus transit time.

International Orders

We ship just about everywhere. International orders take 1-2 days to process, plus transit time. Please note international shipments can often be unreliable and most delays happen at customs offices. ALL international customers are subject to the laws, duties and taxes of their destination country. Hello Merch is not responsible for any items lost, stolen or damaged during domestic transit.

USPS Media Mail

This method is offered to US customers as an old school budget service for vinyl, but highly discouraged, as it poses a greater risk for delays and damage. Hello Merch is not responsible for any items lost, stolen or damaged during domestic transit.

‘Big Familiar’ is the quirky, electric, and emotionally raw sophomore full-length album from Austin, TX-based indie rock band Stella and the Very Messed.

Stella and the Very Messed is helmed by Stella Maxwell and David Hawkins, formerly of Austin alt-rock cult favorites Cruiserweight (Doghouse/Warner Music Group), and joined by an all-star lineup from the Austin indie scene: Chris Nine (Schatzi, Moving Panoramas), Mohadev (Stop Motion Orchestra), and Sam Rich (Black Books, Broken Gold).

Like the band's members, ‘Big Familiar’ is seasoned, self-aware, hard to peg and very vulnerable. Word on the street is Stella herself was against pressing vinyl & CDs, due to her doubts about whether or not the band has earned such a hip notch in the proverbial belt. She was obviously outvoted.

Featuring the singles “Big Familiar”, “Lack of Secrets”, and “Not Dynamite”, ‘Big Familiar’ is packed with 10 hook-laden, hyper-melodic, heavily rhythmic, and genre-fluid indie rock/pop gems.

If there's a defining principle to Stella and the Very Messed, it's this: Don't worry about defining anything at all. "I've probably spent way too much of my life worrying about what box we fit into," says frontwoman and lyricist Stella Maxwell. "At some point, I just stopped caring. We like hooks, but we like depth, too. It's not about fitting into a lane anymore."

"Channeling the jagged catharsis of ’90s alt-rock with a sleek modern edge, ‘Big Familiar’ is shaping up to be the band’s most personal and fully realized work to date" - SPILL

"heartbreakingly personal, pieced together beautifully with plenty of space" -Loud Women

"fierce, refreshingly human vocals"- KUTX

"Genre-fluid” doesn’t even begin to cover it. There are synths. There are crunchy guitars. There are pop choruses that crash headfirst into moments of sincere, tender storytelling. Think Veruca Salt meets XTC with a dash of Paramore if they all grew up watching My So-Called Life on repeat." - Mundane Mag

‘Big Familiar’ is due out September 19, 2025 on Double Helix Records.

The CD version of the album comes in Wallet Lite eco-friendly packaging, including a clear re-sealable eco-bag. The CD version was manufactured by Atomic Disc in Salem, OR, USA.

The album is also available as a vinyl LP, with two vinyl color variations – Coke Bottle Clear and Black – available worldwide, both proudly pressed by Montclaire Pressing in Nacogdoches, TX, USA.
