Maybe you haven’t heard of Matthew Robert Cooper, but you might have heard of Eluvium. And if you were itching to pick up some Eluvium vinyl, but didn’t have the scrill to spring for the 7xLP box-set from Temporary Residence, then you could probably at least scrounge together $13 to pick up this record from [...]

The long-awaited vinyl pressing of this stellar collection of beats from Clubroot. It’s looking pretty impossible that anybody will ever be able to top Burial at his own game, but it’s nice to see people try. This album comes damn close, and it’s certainly one of the better releases to come out this year, dubstep [...]

This record is so amazingly great, yet so hard to describe in words.  Both of us have been eagerly anticipating Animal Hospital’s “Memory” being released on vinyl.  In fact, I can’t think of an album I’ve anticipated MORE in recent months.  Barge Recordings is out of Brooklyn, while Animal Hospital is the work of Kevin [...]

From what I’ve heard, San Francisco’s Glaciers have the chops to seriously compete with the cream of the post-rock crop.  Plus, their new record is one of the best deals I’ve seen lately.  It is available in two versions:  The first is a regular edition on blue vinyl with a download code for $10.  The [...]

Oh man, I totally had something clever to say about this crushing metal record, but I really can’t compete with this description:  “THE ATLAS MOTH TAKE THEIR BLUESY HOMETOWN ROOTS AND COMBINE THAT WITH NEW ORLEANS STYLE SLUDGE & 60s PSYCHEDELIA. GRITTY AND RAW, YET THOUGHT OUT AND INSIGHTFUL. IF YOU GREW UP LIVING IN [...]

Looks like Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire’s third and final album has finally been produced on vinyl for the first time ever.  This album is much more eclectic than other BOF work, was the strongest precursor to Bird’s solo work, and is a former recipient of a 9.0 score at Pitchfork.  It has been remastered [...]

Harvest Records just issued a beautiful 180 gram LP version of the Hush Arbors cd-r, “Since We Have Fallen”.  The packaging on this is very impressive.  The black design was letterpressed on thick cardstock, which is held together by black rivets, then die-cut to open like a barn door.  As for the music, it’s lo-fi [...]

This Cold Cave band is kind of doing that “meteoric rise” thing right now, I am constantly hearing about them.  Matador is releasing an ULTRA limited version of an already limited new 12″ from the band next week.  The “Death Comes Close” 12″ features the album track, plus three unreleased tunes.  This edition features exclusive [...]

When we wrote up the last batch of Thrill Jockey releases, we forgot to mention this little gem.  OOIOO’s six full-length album, titled “Armonico Hewa”, is a crazy one to digest.  They are an offshoot of Boredoms, are from Japan, are all females, and play “tribal psychedelia”.  In other words, if you’re adventurous, there really [...]

Oh man, so many good things to say about this release.  Edan is one of the few hip-hop dudes either of us can still handle listening to, and we’ve been feverishly awaiting new output.  Stones Throw came through in the clutch with this new “Echo Party” release.  This one sounds very interesting, here goes nothing:  [...]
