Stones Throw Records just announced the vinyl release of Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood Ferguson’s traditional chamber music tribute to Jay Dee, “Suite For Ma Dukes”. The record features four different movements, all based on early Dilla production. The proceeds from the album will go to benefit Dilla’s estate. It officially drops March 10th, but [...]
Another album long overdue for a repressing. Subliminal Sounds have repressed this blown-out, psychedelic monster double LP from Sweden’s Dungen. With a $30 price tag the good stuff ain’t cheap, but if you love this band as much as I do and don’t own this album on vinyl, then you know its worth it. You [...]
After all but immediately disappearing upon initial release, the fine folks at Kranky have been gracious enough to repress this psych-pop masterpiece by Deerhunter. Thats cool and all, but even better, this is now a double LP in a gatefold sleeve with Weird Era Cont. on the second slab of wax (the first pressing came [...]
Looks like Coliseum’s “No Salvation” LP got a brand new pressing. If you don’t know the band, they play a fairly blistering brand of hardcore, but are also totally listenable. This new repress consists of two colorways: 150 copies on “Oil and Gasoline” and 350 copies on “Blood and Urine”. Grab a copy for $12 [...]
Hydra Head just dropped a brand new 12″ by Torche, which of course is a “must-buy” for me. If you don’t know Torche, you should, they play some really crushing metal infused with melodic, catchy hooks, check it out. This new 12″ features two songs from Meanderthal (Healer and Across The Shields), plus two brand [...]
Fatcat UK just will not stop with the Direct Metal Master reissue series. I’m not complaining, but my pocket book surely is. This time they are dropping two excellent releases that have NEVER before been released on vinyl (well, there is that bootleg of Weirdo Rippers still out there). These are limited and likely won’t [...]
This has been up for preorder for a couple of weeks now, but today marks the official release date of the Relapse debut from Brooklyn’s Tombs. This gatefold LP features some amazing artwork by Thomas Hooper and comes on brown or black 180gm vinyl (as usual, 100 have been pressed on clear for Relapse friends [...]
Today marks the reissue of FOUR classic Murder City Devils albums. If you are a fan of this band, it is truly your lucky day. Sub Pop represses of “Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts”, “In Name And Blood”, “S/T”, and “Thelema” (previously a 10″, now a 12″) all hit the shelves today, and they are all [...]
Moutains, the Brooklyn-based experimental duo, just released their first record for Thrill Jockey Records today, titled “Choral”. Their music is hard to describe, they play a sort of experimental drone-folk, melding together acoustic instruments and field recordings. This is slow, dense stuff, with most songs clocking in at over 8 minutes. All that being said, [...]
To tide you over until their new full-length drops this Fall, Brother Ali and producer ANT have teamed up for a brand new EP. “The Truth Is Here” features nine tracks total (seven new/unreleased tunes and two rare b-sides), plus a second LP with instrumental versions of all nine songs. As if that weren’t enough, [...]
