I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this one. If you want a copy, you best a hurry. Extremely limited self-released pressing on goldenrod vinyl. Available in the US at forcedexposure.com and in the UK at boomkat.com.

Holy balls! This is one filthy, blown-out monster of an album. July 7th marks the date that Oneida will be releasing Rated O – 3 whoppin’ vinyl LPs worth of a new album. You can get it preordered right now on the Jagjaguwar site for $24. Hey! That’s a pretty good deal. Listen to some songs here and then go get it at scdistribution.com.

Matador Records just dropped the preorder for Jay Reatard’s next album, “Watch Me Fall”.  If you like punk rock, you probably like Jay Reatard, it’s pretty great stuff.  After all, it’s not every day Matador signs a punk band.  The release date is August 18th, but you can preorder now for only $13 at MatadorRecords.com.

Insound is running a really cool special on the upcoming new Wilco album.  If you preorder now, you’ll receive a free poster by Jason Munn aka The Small Stakes.  The official release date is June 30th, but you can preorder now for $20.99 at Insound.com.

Here’s a little something to balance out the blackened grimness of the last two posts. Just kind of stumbled across this release by Finnish siblings Samu and Ville Kuukka aka The Gentleman Losers. The album is called Dustland and if you liked the recent release from Tape that we featured here, then you will surely like this. Molasses-coated, lo-fi and ambient, folky feel-good music. Released by City Centre Offices in Germany and distributed by Forced Exposure in the US. You can get a copy at forcedexposure.com for $15.50.

Bloodlust! will shortly be releasing the vinyl version of this indescribably bleak bit of metallic noise from two-piece Locrian. Drenched Lands is guaranteed to bring the rainclouds on even the sunniest of days, so if you like that sort of thing then you should hurry and get a pre-order in as this pressing is ultra-limited to 200 copies on clear vinyl and letter-pressed sleeves. Also comes with a 3″ CD featuring a new track that clocks in at almost 20 minutes. $20 ppd for media mail shipping in the US. Check bloodlust.blogspot.com for ordering information.

If you like your black metal absurdly EVIL and maybe just a little bit weird, this is the album for you. Not sure what this is limited to, but there are currently 300 copies in their webstore and I can only imagine there must be more than 300 people in the world that would be into this. My good friend’s mother told me to “get the cross out of my butt” when she caught me listening to the promo track for this release. For $14 you shouldn’t have to think too hard about that. Get with it – www.theajnaoffensive.com.

We had previously talked about some online stores having the preorder up for The Dead Weather’s (Jack White’s new band) “Horehound” album, but you can now order directly from Third Man Records.  It’s a 2xLP with an etching by Rob Jones on the 4th side.  $25 shipped gets you a HEFTY package of wax at ThirdManRecords.com.

Also check out this weird video of the band hanging out a United Record Pressing in Nashville.

I believe this has been out of print for awhile. I also believe this album is completely awesome. If you aren’t familiar, Jaylib is the late great Jay Dilla and his buddy Madlib rapping over each other’s beats (see what they did there?). Strictly for the strip club. $14.99 at stonesthrow.com. Enough said.

About time for Important to release a slew of new vinyl titles. Three new albums this time, the star of the show being Non Meters Volume One by Risil, though its safe to say its keeping good company. Risil is a supergroup of sorts, featuring as it does members of Tortoise, Battles, Prefuse 73, Savath & Savalas, School of Seven Bells and Hella. If that doesn’t sell you then you are absolutely hopeless. This is the first of three forthcoming volumes and is an RTI pressed 2xLP on 200 pieces of clear vinyl / 800 pieces of black. Also a new 2xLP from Acid Mothers Temple called Dark Side of the Black Moon: What Planet Are We On? featuring what looks to be amazing gatefold packaging by Seldon Hunt. Yep, more vinyl from those guys. The third release is a bit more mysterious – a debut album from Tongues of Mount Meru (aka Lasse Marhaug and Jon Wesseltoft) who have ties to the noise and black metal scenes and present here an album of longass drones called The Ocean of Milk. Usual batch of weird goodness from this highly reputable label. Listen to more soundclips and order up at importantrecords.com.

Well, this is certainly today’s “must buy” record for me.  The Budos Band dropped a new EP with six previously unreleased gems.  The tracks were recorded between their first and second albums, but they will now see the light on twelve full inches of black vinyl.  If you haven’t heard the band, they are a mix of funk, jazz, highlife, afrobeat, etc, all the good stuff.  This one is $9.99 and can be had at DaptoneRecords.com.

There’s not much to say about the music of the beloved two-piece A Hawk and a Hacksaw that can’t be determined from listening to them.  They are two modern Americans that play music inspired by old European folk.  Sounds boring, right?  Well, it’s not, it’s actually very exciting stuff.  Their newest record, “Delivrance”, can now be purchased on vinyl for $16.99 at Insound.com.

I was holding out hope on this one… I had been hearing SDRE was going to get back together for a reunion so surely Sub Pop would reissue their seminal first two albums, right? RIGHT?! Well, it is true. Sunny Day Real Estate is indeed reuniting for a slate of 20 emotionally charged (emo?) shows starting this September. But even more importantly for those of us who absolutely loathe any sort of social interaction whatsoever with other human beings, Diary and LP2 (aka The Pink Album) are being reissued on the long playing vinyl format this September 15th. Yes! So stay off of the eBay, suckers, and we will post here when Sub Pop puts up pre-orders. In the meantime, read up at the subpop.com blog for tour dates and such.

I just learned about Japanese glitch-pop musician Shuta Hasunuma, and he has a beautiful new album out.  His work mixes organic instruments and dreamy pop vocals with some of the best glitch anywhere (it pretty much pwns Prefuse 73’s recent output).  “Pop Ooga Plus” is a double 45rpm LP for $22.  Buy one at WesternVinyl.com.

Santa Cruz’s Sleepy Sun just put out one of the best psych records I’ve heard in awhile, and that’s saying alot.  “Embrace” is drawing alot of comparisons to bands like Black Mountain and My Morning Jacket, but they have their own thing going as well.  Basically, if you like psychedelic rock and you frequent this site, you’ll probably like this alot.  You can buy it for $17 at ForcedExposure.com, or directly from the label for $20 at ATPFestival.com.
