Just got two new singles in the mail from Gold Robot Records, I love with this little label is doing.  The first is a split from Colossal Yes and The Good Fear, two bands from two different sides of the country.  The music is pretty different too, the Colossal Yes side is a recorded-with-one-mic piece of melancholy blues, while The Good Fear bring a really heartfelt, driving rock song on the b-side (the clip below).  It’s a 7″ on grey vinyl, has an edition of 500, is beautifully designed, and costs only $5.  Visit Gold-Robot.com.

The second new single is from Roman Ruins, the solo project of Beach House drummer Graham Hill.  What I found here was totally not what I was expecting, two slices of blissed-out synth pop, quite different from the other GRR releases I have run into.  Beautiful songs, plus the vinyl sounds great.  It comes on orange vinyl, has an edition of 500, and is $5.  Again, Gold-Robot.com.
