SLEEP ∞ OVER “La Rose” 7″

Weekly Tape Deck and Gorilla Vs. Bear‘s Forest Family Records have just dropped their third release, a new single from Austin’s SLEEP ∞ OVER.  This is some blown-out, haunted pop, just listen to it, shit will sound beautiful and creep you out at the same time.  They’ve already released tapes on some of our favorite [...]

Tennis “Baltimore” 7″

Remember how awesome that rad little pop record we posted by Tennis was?  Well, they’ve got another single coming out on one of our favorite labels, Underwater Peoples.  “Baltimore” collects another three songs of pure pop magic.  It’s $7 and ships at the end of the month at UnderwaterPeoples.com.

Boddie Acetate Box from Numero Group

It’s been way too long since we’ve written about a release from the Numero Group, one of the finest reissue labels in the world.  Their new Boddie Acetate Box collects more great forgotten soul, this time from the archives of Louise and Thomas Boddie’s Cleveland label from the 60s and 70s.  Designed to look like [...]

Woodsman “Mystery Tape” EP

Lefse Records has a new EP out from the Denver psych quartet Woodsman.  “Mystery Tape” continues where their last record on Mexican Summer left off, taking you through beautifully strange soundscapes that are about 100 times more interesting than a lot of pscyh coming out today.  It’s just $11.99 and can be had at Lefse [...]

Obliteration “Nekropsalms” LP & Cassette Versions

Vinyl and cassette version of the much loved sophomore effort from Obliteration, first released on CD in 2009. This Swedish Nordic death metal masterwork gets a lot of attention these days, not least of all because of the generous praise heaped onto it by Fenriz of Darkthrone. But even if you know fuck-all about death [...]

Oneohtrix Point Never “Returnal” 7″ Remixed by Antony and Fennesz

Holy €12 seven-inch! Editions Mego isn’t pulling any punches with the price point on this OPN single featuring a remix apiece from Antony (sans Johnsons) and noise-bliss champ Fennesz. We will see what prices look like once a few North American distributors get this in, but for now you are in luck if you live [...]

Artist Music Journals Volume 1 “No. 10 – Brian Roettinger” (No Age vinyl news)

Hmmmm, this is interesting. $17 artbook from Brian Roettinger, which just also happens to feature a one-sided 10″ with music performed by the artist along with some band called No Age. That’s not a lot of music for seventeen bucks, but I’m sure some serious collectors will be on top of this. Limited to 1000, [...]

Tecumseh “Sea(s)” 12″ EP

The last album on Important Records from these black drone peddlers was an absolutely immense dose of tectonic plate shifting low-end frequencies. I’m sure you can expect more of the same for this 12″ they cut for Black Horizons, which is limited to 333 copies in a 3-color screen printed sleeve (courtesy of Seizure Palace). [...]

Jaill “That’s How We Burn” LP

Sub Pop seems to be back in the groove of putting out amazing shit, I’ve enjoyed their last few releases quite a bit (Wolf Parade, Foals, etc).  This new album from Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s Jaill just might be the best Sub Pop album of the year so far though.  It’s an unbelievably solid slab of catchy [...]

Radio People “s/t” LP

Apparently there will be no shortage of blazing synth albums in the 2010. But don’t be confused or discouraged by the over-hyped, over-saturated marketplace – just stick to the labels you know and trust, and you’ll do swimmingly. Digitalis collects the “best of” Sam Goldberg’s Radio People tapes and gets the whole mess remastered and [...]
