Thrill Jockey is just one of the best labels/distributors around, that’s a fact. They have added a ton of new items to their store, so here’s a brief list. First of all, the new album by The Fiery Furnaces is up for preorder. “I’m Going Away”, the band’s eight full-length, is a 180 gram RTI-pressed [...]
I can’t say I know much about North Carolina’s Avett Brothers, but I know they have a lot of fans (including the reader that let me know about this), so I thought it was well deserving of a mention. They have launched the preorder for their newest album, “I and Love and You”. You can [...]
Jonsi (best known as the frontman for Sigur Ros) and his partner Alex have teamed up to make this beautiful album under their Riceboy Sleeps moniker. This is ambient music full of lush, beautiful orchestration. If you order from Rough Trade, you’ll receive an exclusive CD with an hour-long mix by Jonsi and Alex. The [...]
Aural Exploits just dropped this bomb of a release, and I couldn’t be more excited. Ween’s “1996-2000″ box set will include LP versions of “12 Golden Country Greats”, “The Mollusk”, and “White Pepper”. Everything will be pressed on 180 gram colored vinyl, and the box will be numbered in a limited edition of 1000 pieces. [...]
Insound has teamed up with punk legend Richard Hell to re-release his second (and last) album with the Voidoids, “Destiny Street” in a new and improved format. “Destiny Street Repaired” was produced by re-recording the guitar tracks and vocals from the original 1982 album, while keeping the original rhythm tracks in place. Apparently Hell was [...]
This record, which is (in my opinion of course) one of the best dubstep 12″s ever made, just came back in stock at Turntable Lab. Giant rhythms with an awesome vocal sample on the b-side, this one will blow you away. TTL has an amazing selection of records, so be careful how much you browse [...]
Yes, we are indeed experiencing troubles with one of our Photobucket accounts, thus the crazy images all over the place. We’ll have it sorted within the day. Thanks.
Stones Throw Records has launched the preorder for Mayer Hawthorne’s debut full-length album, “A Strange Arrangement”. This is pure, unadulterated white-boy soul. Believe it or not, it is actually quite enjoyable, I really like it. The LP will also be packaged with a 4″ single. This one doesn’t drop till Fall, but you can preorder [...]
Drug Space has kindly repressed their one and only release so far – A Little Bliss Forever by White Hills. Two sides, two songs. Long, spaced out and psychedelic. All in all, an excellent release and in dire need of a repress as the original pressing was limited to 333 copies. Only 600 copies this [...]
Okay, this is just bizarre. I’m tagging this “experimental records” and “jazz records” because I really don’t know what else to do and I think there is a saxophone somewhere in this music? In any case, I thought I’d hip you jazz weirdos to this strange brew. A $12 EP available from thesocialregistry.com. Sweet album [...]
