Helado Negro is the brainchild of Roberto C. Lange, a frequent collaborative partner of Guillermo Scott Herren (aka Prefuse 73, Savath y Savalas, etc).  This is laid back, breezy music with hints of tropicalia, psych-folk, and even Herren’s own work.  All told, this is a nice little album that you can score on vinyl for [...]

I didn’t know too much about this band even an hour ago, but they seem pretty cool, so here goes.  Young Prisms are Mexican Summer’s newest band, which is saying big things.  They are described as “San Francisco psychedelic/garage/beach-pop band, influenced by the California coast, Charlton Heston, and late night spiritual pow wows”.  Pretty cool, [...]

How early is too early to post a pre-order? I guess if you are the label putting the record out, you can post it whenever you damn well please. Hence Beta-Lactam Ring Records posting their pre-order for this forthcoming vinyl missive from Troum. You’ll be sweating until November 18th if you decide to order this [...]

I see dorky white guys with synthesizers all over the freaking place now. Well, these dudes definitely had a hand in proliferating that sort of behavior. So, if [...]

This 2008 masterpeice now gets the vinyl treatment thanks to the artist’s very own History Always Favours the Winners label. “It’s like watching John Carpenter’s The Fog only to find that instead of vengeful phantoms emerging from the mist, it’s The Glenn Miller Band.” Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Thanks, Boomkat. Since I [...]

If you don’t know who Jesu is than you probably have no business collecting vinyl. Justin Broadrick is not a stranger to this game, he’s in it to win it. The newest 5 song 12″ EP is coming out on none other than Mark Kozelek’s Caldo Verde label and can be pre-ordered currently at Aural [...]

L’animaux Tryst (Field) Recordings, self-proclaimed purveyors of handmade wares and psychedelic tones, have got three new vinyl LPs up for sale on their site. The only one I’ve heard of is Cursillistas, who as you may remember, I wrote about never having heard of not that long ago. The two freshly unheard of bands are [...]

I’m assuming you don’t have nearly enough Of Montreal in your life. Is such a thing even possible!? (Answer: Yes!) Well if you don’t, or if you want more, or if your girlfriend is gay for Kevin Barnes or whatever – Polyvinyl just reissued 5 of their earlier albums. Hey that’s really great (but wait [...]

This year’s Grammy for best “Throat Singing Vocal Performance in a Heavy Metal / Doom Song” is destined to go to these two boys. For just a guitar and some drums, they certainly do raise one glorious din. Southern Lord webshop customers get exclusive orange vinyl and just for being awesome and listening to vinyl [...]
