I’m going to assume that most of you at least kind of know what this one sounds like, so no hardcore introduction will be necessary. Fat Possum Records has reissued one of the best slabs of soul slow jams ever made, Al Green’s Greatest Hits. The new single LP vinyl version can be had for [...]
Another fine vinyl release has reared its oddly shaped head over at SMTG Limited. This is the long-playing vinyl version of the recent album from Ekkehard Ehlers and Paul Wirkus called Ballads. You could call it ambient or you could call it drone, but its a little more engaging then either of those tags imply. [...]
What could I possibly tell you about this album that you cannot surmise from the album artwork and a sound clip? If you don’t know about Satanic Blood Angel, I certainly don’t want to be the one accused of trying to talk you into buying this. I don’t need that on my conscience. You’re on [...]
Two Fingers is the moniker for a collaborative effort between Double Click and the legendary Amon Tobin. The two have teamed up with Sway to produce a prettttty awesome album chock full of grime and dubstep gems. The vinyl hasn’t hit the United States yet, but you can throw it in your next order at [...]
For the record, I’m posting this for the sake of breadth, not because I am overly excited about it. Major Lazer is the collaborative team of Switch (most notable for producing MIA’s last album) and Diplo. This features a ton of guests like Santigold, Amanda Blank, and about a million other people. If Diplo’s usual [...]
Releases don’t get much more epic than this. This 2005 double album from Rosetta has now been pressed onto two 2xLPs, each housed in a gatefold sleeve featuring all new artwork from Aaron Turner. That’s 4 LPs total. “Disc One” (the first 2xLP) is more straightforward post-rock – but heavy, while “Disc Two” consists of [...]
Another excellent release from Three Lobed Recordings, this time in the form a new full length album for northwest psych warriors Eternal Tapestry. Palace of the Night Skies will be ready to ship sometime in late July, but you can go ahead and preorder right now from Three Lobed for $19 shipped. Comes in a [...]
This is fucking amazing, let me see if I can fit this all into one post. To celebrate 20 years of existence, Warp Records will release the Warp 20box set. It is packaged in a beautiful slipcase with a laminated photograph and embossed paper. It includes: “Warp20 (1989-2009) The Complete Catalog” – A 10″ x [...]
UK crate digging label Finders Keepers asked the always-amazing Gaslamp Killer to work their first 20 releases into a mix. He layered, mixed, collaged, and edited the catalog for the debut Finders Keepers mix CD. Now the label has released this limited edition 7″ featuring edits from that session. It has a megamix on the [...]
The Dead Weather, yet another new band featuring Jack White, have their debut album coming out. In addition to Jack on drums, the band features Allison from The Kills, plus members of The Raconteurs and Queens of the Stone Age. This is dirty, straight-forward rock and roll. The 180 gram 2xLP drops on July 14, [...]
