The kind souls over at Underwater Peoples sure know how to pick their underground rock and roll to release, shit is constantly amazing.  They have two new ones up for preorder, and both keep the bar set high.  “Extended Play” is the new 12″ EP from Spectrals, the solo output of the UK’s Louis Jones.  [...]

In addition to the new Purling Hiss record we recently wrote about, Woodsist has three more new ones up for order.  The first is “Off Duty”, the new ep from Sun Araw, also previously mentioned.  If you love Cameron Stallones’ other work, you’ll love this one too, it’s pure dubbed-out psychedelic madness.  The second new [...]

Iowa City’s Night People label continues to be a beacon of experimental music here in the midwest, constantly evolving and progressing with zero help from the mainstream industry.  They’ve got two new vinyl releases out, both of them are pretty long-awaited and heavily anticipated.  The first is Peaking Lights’ “Space Primitive” LP, a one-sided pressing [...]

The Fresh & Onlys are a band we’ve been trying to champion ever since we heard them (I count five previous posts related to them), so it’s amazing to hear “Play It Strange”, their first album recorded in a proper studio.  The sound has been beefed up tremendously, adding heightened elements of pop and twang [...]

Slumberland Records is always the place to go for the best in lo-fi and garage, so it stands to reason that they’ve released this spectacular debut record by Frankie Rose (former drummer for Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls, and Crystal Stilts) and her new band The Outs.  This album is quieter and cleaner than her [...]

Here’s a brand new 12″ ep from Flight, the one-man gutter-fi wrecking crew from Mississippi.  I can’t get enough of what he’s putting out, the combination of filth and melody works perfectly for me.  ”Lead Riders” comes courtesy of the stellar new imprint from Dum Dum Girls, Zoo Music.  The vinyl has six new songs [...]

I know that summer is pretty much over, but there’s still room in most record collections for some more blown-out, reverb-heavy, female-fronted pop.  Luckily then, Art Fag Recordings just dropped this new 7″ single from Vivian Girls side project All Saints Day.  It carries all of the aforementioned qualities and more, give it a listen. [...]

Hardly Art, the Sub Pop subsidiary that we’re in love with, have just made one of their most exciting signings ever, Austin, TX’s Woven Bones.  To celebrate, they’ve just put out this smashing 7″ with two brand new songs.  Both sides are full of just downright nasty, filthy, snarling, insane garage that will tear you apart in the [...]

Remember how awesome that rad little pop record we posted by Tennis was?  Well, they’ve got another single coming out on one of our favorite labels, Underwater Peoples.  “Baltimore” collects another three songs of pure pop magic.  It’s $7 and ships at the end of the month at UnderwaterPeoples.com.

I just got this rad little 7″ in the mail from These Are Not Records, and it’s an impressive release, that’s for sure.  Impeccably constructed, this thing looks beautiful, plus gives us two brand new tunes from Pittsburgh’s Modey Lemon.  Side A’s “Wandering Eye” is a catchy, powerful piece of rock and roll, one that [...]
