We are here to say that “Tomboy”, the most recent 7″ single from Panda Bear, was easily one of the best singles we’ve heard in months. Good then that the second one is up for preorder, we’re all over it. The last one sold out pretty fast, so snatching this one up for only $5 [...]
The third full-length No Age record is now up for preorder. ”Everything In Between”, their second for Sub Pop, is quite simply their best record yet. The band sounds more mature with every new release, constantly expanding their influences, yet not making them too obvious. The LP comes with a 48 page book for $23 [...]
We are beyond proud to announce the very first vinyl release to come out of our in-house label (Sweat Lodge Guru), Lawrence English’s “A Colour For Autumn”. This is actually a co-release with our good friends at Digitalis. It has been one of our absolute favorite ambient drone albums since it came out on CD, [...]
Thrill Jockey has another beautiful batch of new records available this month. First comes the self-titled album from Coil Sea, side project of Arbouretum’s Dave Heumann. He arranged a group of musicians so diverse, the music is hard to explain or classify. One thing is certain, this is grade-a improvisational rock, something almost anyone would enjoy. It [...]
Scene frontrunners Olde English Spelling Bee have a whole new batch of records up for preorder. Rather than go into a bunch of descriptions, I’ll just list off the names and prices and post a video or song from each release. Autre Ne Veut’s “S/T” LP is $14, New Jersey garage dudes Big Troubles’ “Worry” [...]
Beta-lactum Ring have a ton of new records coming, including this stunning split from Nadja and Armchair Migraine Journey. Nadja’s side is some heavy doom-drone, as per usual, with AMG bringing a more experimental approach to the b-side. This package is on 220 gram vinyl, comes in a book-bound sleeve, has an edition of 200, [...]
The fine folks at Inflated Records have released a vinyl version of Ducktails’ live performance on WFMU from late 2008. Smooth summer vibes here, even when recorded in the dead of winter. Grab the LP for $13.99 at InflatedRecords.net. [Audio clip: view full post to listen]
The kind souls at Immune Recordings have dug up this beautiful double album by Ilyas Ahmed for re-release, the first time it’s ever been on vinyl. “Between Two Skies / Towards The Night” was first released on CD-R in 2005, then again as a proper CD by Digitalis in 2007, and now in deluxe vinyl [...]
The Lord’s vinyl continues to flow into the hands of the faithful. The most recent offering is a 2xLP edition of Twilight’s most recent album. A studio supergroup of sorts – the new Twilight lineup adds Aaron Turner, Sanford Parker, and Stavros Giannopolous to the mix and results in a heavy, dark and glorious sound. Aaron [...]
Here in small-town Iowa, we once had a heavy band that actually made it out of the area and was heard by a lot of folks (relatively)…that band was Song Of Zarathustra. Makes sense then that Chibalo feels like a special record to me, as the band consists of members of Song of Zarathustra, Book [...]
I’ve been spinning this record pretty heavily ever since it showed up, it’s beyond impressive in spots. Vulture Industries hail from Norway and “The Dystopia Journals” was originally released on CD in 2007. Thankfully, Ragnarok has given it the proper vinyl release it deserves. This is wildly imaginative progressive metal, sometimes veering into black or [...]
After starting out a bit mysterious, some more things are starting to be known about Balam Acab, the mastermind behind this new “See Birds” EP. First, he’s young, a 19 year old college student. Secondly, he makes his music entirely from samples he finds around the internet. Third, he’s on Tri-Angle, and often lumped in [...]
Originally recorded and released in 2000, this massive set will once again ignite listener circuits with a brand new vinyl edition. With Ambarchi and Rowe on guitars and Fennesz, Pimmon, and Rehberg on laptops, “Afternoon Tea” is a truly international all-star affair, one of the greatest pieces of experimental improvisation ever recorded. Available for the [...]
Remember the morning you woke up after a night at the sleazy discotheque with a bloody nose, a few chipped teeth, white powder mashed into your pillow, and a loaded gun on your desk? This record is probably what you were listening to the night before. Fucking awesome. The 7″ comes on clear vinyl for [...]
Bathetic Records’ first foray into vinyl is a stunning pair of tunes from Cloudland Canyon. This is some krauty, poppy, shoegazing rock-and-roll trapped under a blown-out, shimmering blanket of drone. What I’m trying to say is, you’ll like it alot, perfect summer waves. First edition is limited to 350 copies, $7 shipped at BatheticRecords.com.
