Hydra Head press up a twelve-inch teaser for what is hopefully a shortly forthcoming vinyl issue of the recent collaborative album from Pyramids with Nadja. Lustmord and Ulver remix one of the most atonishing drone tracks to spill out amidst last year’s tar-slick of high-volume clamoring. Hand-numbered to 300, one at a time for $13 [...]

If you’re a Grouper fan, nothing will get your loins simmering quite like news about an upcoming vinyl release. Unless you already have the release in question, which is entirely possible. In that case, hopefully you didn’t pay too much for it on eBay because now you can pre-order the second edition of Wide with [...]

The second vinyl album of forward-thinking metal from the peerless Locrian. It’s hard to attach a sub-genre to these guys, they incorporate a wide range of influences into a very cohesive whole, but that whole is definitely grey, oppressive and depressing (that’s a good thing if you like this kind of music). Totally nihilistic music [...]

Double vinyl release from this black metal horde of one. The analog issue of Collapse features a bonus track with the lead singer of Amebix and retains all the raw fury, aggression and… bluegrass (?) you could possibly handle. Don’t let that last comment fool you, this album has some pretty fierce moments. But yeah, [...]

Like many fans of The Drone, I was smitten by a little album released last year on Digitalis called Truth & Distance by an artist named Concern. The album was released on CD only, and the packaging was quite exquisite but as you might imagine, I very much wanted a copy on vinyl. Well, this [...]

If you didn’t know, the group name Fenn O’Berg is the result of an unwieldy mashup of the three names of the artists involved. The unabridged version reads more like this: Christian Fennesz, Jim O’Rourke and Peter Rehberg. All accomplished experimental musicians in their own right, on In Stereo they come together to conjure digitized [...]

We don’t usually post news just for the sake of posting news, but Grails is one of those bands that we pretty much freak out every time they even update their Myspace. Which they have just done recently to share some news about the latest installment of the Black Tar Prophecies, also known as some [...]

The fine, fine folks at Immune have imported some copies of Gareth Davis & Steven R. Smith’s “The Line Across”.  Hooking up again after last year’s album on Important, this clarinet and guitar duo seem like a match made in heaven.  As the description eloquently states, “with each side of the vinyl containing just the [...]

A 3xLP + DVD set for $25 is certainly nothing to turn your nose up at, the people in charge of Temporary Residence sure know how to put out a release. To sweeten the deal, they have even included live music from legendary post-rock group Mono on the three LPs and a DVD documentary of [...]

The debut solo album by the much beloved frontman of Sigur Rós, Jónsi Birgisson. If you like Sigur Rós then you’ll probably like this, that goes without saying. There is currently a pre-order for the vinyl edition on XL posted at amazon.com but rumor is there will be news shortly forthcoming about a deluxe and/or [...]

Three new vinyl releases have just been made available on the Arbor Catalog. The sounds from this label are always interesting and experimental, if not exactly tailored for mass consumption. First up is Pale Blue Sky with Shades of Grey, a 12″ EP limited to merely 400 copies. Pale Blue Sky is none other than [...]

The first vinyl release from Kranky for 2010 is a celebration in and of itself, we love this label. However, this release is doubly exciting since it is nothing less than the new album from underwater ambient maestro Loscil. What else? Oh, it’s also the very first Loscil album ever available on the vinyl format [...]

Here’s a welcome vinyl issue of this slow-burning improv session between guitarist Darin Grey and bassist Loren Connors. First appearing on CD over 10 years ago, this is definitely one of those timeless recordings – difficult to date, easy to appreciate. Check the MP3 for some smoldering, bluesy psych. The LP version also happens to [...]

I hate remix albums just as much as any other post-rave, acid-casualty burnout, but this album is infinitely more sublime than your average trance-rock refix. Dakota Suite offers up his compositions for dissection from several of the finest artists operating in the experimental music nexus, and the results are sounding pretty fantastic. Then again, it’s [...]

Infraction Records, who brought us the excellent Drafted By Minotaurs release from last year, return to the vinyl format with a new album from Matthew Robert Cooper and Charles Buckingham playing together as Concert Silence. Like the last vinyl release on Infraction, and as you might expect from Matthew Robert Cooper (aka Eluvium), this definitely [...]
