If you are a fan of metal and/or outsider music and you have not yet caught wind of this 2xLP masterpiece from Dead Reptile Shrine, then OMGV is here to take you to task. But of course, all of you weirdos have probably already worn out the grooves on this black occult ritual. I’m actually [...]
It’s no secret that we are huge fans of Servile Sect over here. Psychedelic black(hole) metal for cosmic voyagers in general is just one of our favorite genres, and these guys do it oh so well. Realms of the Queen is the follow-up to their Ecstatic Peace debut, originally coming out in 2010, but conspicuously [...]
Between other now-sold-out LPs on Bathetic, I kinda missed this stunner by Zac Nelson. I’d heard so much good about it though, I knew I had to check it out. Nelson, best known as a member of CHLL PLL and Hex Love, specializes in a warm, fuzzy crawl that stands as the polar opposite to [...]
We are downright in love with this new EP from The Drum. “Heavy Liquid” is a woozy, ethereal helping of bassed-out, blissed-out, r&b-tinged electronica. Like The Weeknd, Holy Other, and Burial met up for a nightcrawling smokeout. Absolutely top-notch and highly recommended. This comes on white vinyl and is limited to 300 copies for only [...]
So, since 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, Thrill Jockey is taking it upon themselves to repress damn near the entire Tortoise catalog on the vinyl format. Starting apparently, with Standards, the group’s standout album from 2001. The post-rock genre has bled out magnificently, but this band’s entire discography still sounds fresh and needless [...]
Type continues it’s reissue campaign of classic Thomas Köner titles, this time reaching back to his partnership with Andy Mellwig as Porter Ricks. This album sees the dub techno genre imbued with Köner’s sublime and frosty minimalism. New artwork, 700 copies, absolutely essential – they just don’t make sounds like this anymore. Pick a copy [...]
No more back alley handoffs with meth-addled Midwest DJs – now you can get a legit, clean copy of Aphex Twin’s classic Selected Ambient Works II above ground in a legal marketplace. I don’t know who’s brilliant fucking idea it was to repress this, but it should have happened about ten years ago, at least. [...]
2nd pressing of this inspired split between like-minded zone seekers Rene Hell and Pete Swanson. Get lifted. This one is available in Europe from Shelter Press at shelter-press.com.
Speaking of Pyramids, Hydra Head has finally pressed up a vinyl version of their self-titled album that came out way back in 2008. Remember 2008? Well this is what it sounded like. Pick up a pre-order on clear, blue or black at bluecollardistro.com.
Hopefully you managed to pick up a copy of this on vinyl – if not, Insound.com has them in stock currently. And if you just hate the way vinyl sounds so full and rich (ugh, I know right?) then you can also get a copy on cassette. This collaborative LP is absolutely stunning, as you [...]
