Circa Survive have capped off their vinyl discography with the scarce 2005 EP, “The Inuit Sessions”.  Pressed to vinyl for the first time, Inuit features four songs, two of which later showed up on “Juturna”, two of which are otherwise unreleased.  Like we’ve said before, we love Circa Survive, so it’s awesome to see all [...]

Communitas Records is a brand new label from one of the dudes behind Southern Empire, and their first release is going to shred your face off.  Torch Runner’s “Locust Swarm” alternates between breakneck hardcore and crushing, sludgy breakdown riffs.  If you’re into heavy music at all, you’re going to find something to like here.  Definitely [...]

Magic Bullet Records’ own Forensics have a new four-song 10″ EP out, their first recordings on anything but a 7″ in over five years.  There’s a lot to like about “You Don’t Have To Win, But You Have To Fight”.  First of all, the artwork by Daniel Danger is stunning.  The record was pressed on [...]

Look, here’s the deal with the minimal, experimental, improvisational stuff we post here sometimes:  you’re either weird enough to like it, like us, or you fucking hate it.  For those of us on the good side, TAIGA (the label behind the beautiful vinyl release of Lotus Eaters) has an awesome new release out from MAP.  [...]

This hot piece of wax hit the doorstep the other day, and I’ve been trying to digest it ever since.  Double-bassist John Edwards and drummer Chris Corsano make a pretty impressive duo, each at the very top of their respective “game”.  The music is a melting pot of chaos, white-hot temperatures, and room-filling tension.  The [...]

I heard you guys like Bullion. And you may have heard that we like Ghostly International, the super swanky boutique label with one of the best logos ever created. And I’ve never heard of Osborne, but he doesn’t make a peep on this limited edition 12″ EP, except to offer his tracks up for the [...]

Well it’s probably about time we told you about the newest release from Type. It actually sold out at Boomkat while we were busy blogging about Hot Chip records, but you can still pick it up at a few places in America. Plays Wagner Part One is one of two records coming this year from [...]

Me and Mitch used to spend many hours every week scouring the internet for new vinyl. Now we spend many hours every week scouring the internet for new vinyl and a few more hours posting about it here. Tonight’s search ended at the Still Single blog for me, reading the praises of Hot Guts. I [...]

This might officially be the most overpriced, unnecessary deluxe-edition I’ve ever seen, but I wanted to post it for your consideration anyway.  Hot Chip’s new record “One Life Stand” got the deluxe treatment courtesy of The Vinyl Factory.  It includes two 200 gram LPs, gatefold packaging, and an art print of the cover image for [...]

ATP Records has a new, expensive little package out from Deerhoof.  Part of their “Custom Made” series, this new gatefold 2 x 7″ features eight songs (some of them exclusive), has an edition of 1,000, and is $20.  If you’re a mega-fan, you can get the ultra-limited screenprinted edition of 100, signed by artist Matt [...]

Hmmm, what to say about this album? I haven’t really bothered to try to wrap my over-sized melon around it, so I don’t know that I could help you wrap yours. If you liked their last album, then you would probably like this one. Or possibly not? Hope that helps. In any case, you can [...]

Here’s another insane record from La Societe Expeditionnaire, the label behind the mind-blowing Dragon Turtle album.  I’m really starting to trust their curatorial abilities, so it’s no surprise that Mako Sica’s “Dual Horizon” is a sweeping psychedelic masterpiece.  The Chicago trio (featuring two ex-members of Rope) play loose psych with an improvisational feel and a [...]

Stones Throw is back with another hot vinyl injection.  Madlib’s “Madlib Medicine Show #1″ is the first in a series of monthly mixtapes by Mr. Lib himself.  This one features a lot of tunes with Guilty Simpson, and is a prelude to their “OJ Simpson” collaboration.  The vinyl comes as a 2xLP with screenprinted covers.  [...]

New release out on Post Present Medium, this one from Kyle Parker aka Infinite Body. As we’ve mentioned before, this young man is responsible for his fair share of face shredding noise, but as Infinite Body he tends to focus on a warmer and more enveloping world of sound, though that certainly won’t eliminate the [...]

City Center has a new single out on M’Lady’s Records and according to them it is “the LOUDEST, most rhapsodic, and best City Center single yet!” Well okay! You’ll have to shell out $6.50 to see if they are telling the truth or not but if the last album on Type is any indication, I’d [...]
