Now-Again Records, the Stones Throw spin-off label run by Egon, have three amazing new records available.  This post covers all three, so be sure to scroll down.  The first is a compilation called “Forge Your Own Chains: Heavy Psychedelic Ballads and Dirges”.  Curated by Egon himself, this is a massive package of beat-heavy global psychedelic jams.  It’s a 2xLP that comes in a gatefold with full liner notes for $18.98.  Visit StonesThrow.com.

The second is “Away With Melancholy”, the completely mental landmark album by the Natural Yogurt Band.  As the site puts it:  “Authentic, psychedelic library vibes from the golden era meticulously recreated in the new millennium.”  Previously out of print, the album has been beefed up with three bonus tracks and resurrected as a double 10″ in a tip-on gatefold foil jacket.  Edition of 1000, grab it for $19.98 at StonesThrow.com.

The third is “Convivencia”, an album by Los Angeles natives Triorganico.  Again, borrowing from the site:  “Brasilian flavored, minimalist Latin jazz a la Baden Powell and Hermeto; A newly recorded album steeped in tradition – perfect for those feeling saudades for bossa nova’s most vibrant era.”  In other words, this stuff is laid back, beautiful, and perfect for warm weather (something we’re not getting much of around here, it’s currently snowing).  The LP is only $14.99 at StonesThrow.com.
