UPDATE: you can still get this, and a number of other hard-to-find Type titles (i.e. Main Attrakions, Pete Swanson, Porter Ricks) at mimaroglumusicsales.com. Deep electronics from the incomparable Type label: two properly baked slabs serving as the official vinyl issue of Volume 1 and Volume 2 of The Black Mill Tapes. Pye Corner Audio doesn’t [...]

Mpala Garoo’s Ou Du Monde is easily one of Sweat Lodge Guru’s most requested cassette tapes. Of course, we blew through our copies long ago, but lo and behold, the ever astute Aguirre Records has gone and given the world a vinyl pressing of this subliminal album. This is, obviously, highly recommended. Here’s what we [...]

We can’t really say enough good things about Monster Rally. We’ve been fans since day one, and we’ll continue loving his sun-drenched Madlib-worship for as long as he cares to make it. His newest LP, “Beyond The Sea”, is available now for $14 via Gold Robot. Beyond the Sea by Monster Rally Monster Rally – [...]

This, my friends, is some unbelievably blown-out action. For the ninth volume of FRKWYS, Sun Araw and M. Geddes Gengras went to Jamaica and teamed up with reggae superstars The Congos for one of the most smoked-out, weirdest sessions ever put to tape. It’s really, really good, just not for the squares. Get the LP [...]

Hey guys! How’s Record Store Day treating you? For those who don’t feel the need to venture out in the madness, there are plenty of great things going on at a few virtual record stores, including this huge sale that Jeremy from Experimedia just announced last night. 25% off pretty much the entire damn store.

GOG, those magnificent architects of colossal and ominous drone, have a new album out. This behemoth of sound has been pressed to two LPs and cut at 45 rpm, so for real, take the necessary precautions during playback. Earthquake proofing your entire space wouldn’t be a bad idea because when you drop the needle on [...]

Could the Barn Owl members ever be too prolific? Absolutely not, it’s simply not possible. At times it’s hard to keep up, but it’s always a pleasure catching up with Evan Caminiti and Jon Porras. Speaking of the former, Mr. Caminiti has a new album forthcoming on Immune, and I know you always have extra [...]

Regarded as one of the strongest albums to come out of the highly prolific and enigmatic Black Twilight Circle, Dolorvotre’s self-titled assault now receives the vinyl treatment. That’s big news considering a majority of the original cassettes suffer from Crepusculo Negro’s notoriously shitty dubbing. Pick up this superior and more substantial version at theajnaoffensive.com.

In the pantheon of innovative and dark, psychedelic music, few stars shine darker than Horseback. The list of peers is short, and consists almost exclusively of groups that Jenks Miller himself has chosen to collaborate with between his last album (The Invisible Mountain) and this, his most ambitious recording to date. To call this metal [...]

Not Not Fun recently dropped some new records, and among them was an absolute gem. “Lifetime of Romance” is the newest album from Indiana’s Dylan Ettinger, and it represents a HUGE maturation of his sound. He has always been an exciting prospect in the weirdo synth-pop scene, but this new material sounds fully-formed, polished, and [...]
