This might officially be the most overpriced, unnecessary deluxe-edition I’ve ever seen, but I wanted to post it for your consideration anyway. Hot Chip’s new record “One Life Stand” got the deluxe treatment courtesy of The Vinyl Factory. It includes two 200 gram LPs, gatefold packaging, and an art print of the cover image for [...]
Sadly, Broken Bells went ultra-deluxe with the CD release of their new album, but left the vinyl version looking pretty standard. That being said, this is still a great album, and one well worth owning on a high-quality piece of wax. Broken Bells is James Mercer of the Shins and DJ Danger Mouse. They make [...]
Insound just put up the Lovepump United released split 7″ between Small Black and Washed Out up for preorder. This very well may be too much “hip” for one 7″ slab of vinyl, but I bet it will also be pretty awesome. They will be covering one of eachother’s songs, always a recipe for success. [...]
Insound has a whole load of new goodies, as per usual. Before I start, let me mention that you can use the promo code “novstorewide15″ for 15% off your order, but it ends today!! Ok, now, First and foremost, they are preselling the reissue of TV On The Radio’s modern classic “Return to Cookie Mountain”. [...]
Quickly following up the ultra-successful “Ambivalence Avenue”, Bibio is back with new collection of killer tunes. You get four brand new songs, plus remixes by Clark, Eskimo, Leatherette, and more. The vinyl is limited to 1000 copies, and it comes in a gold foil sleeve. Pick it up for the lowest price of $17.99 at [...]
In preparation for their new record, Yeasayer have released a bustling new 12″. “Ambling Alp” is the first single from the forthcoming sophomore album. It brings a little bit more radio sheen to their indie psych-pop sound. The real standouts here are the remixes by DJ/Rupture and Memory Tapes. The vinyl release is “VERY limited”, [...]
NYC crate-diggers Javelin have their first 12″ coming out on Thrill Jockey. If you somehow haven’t heard this duo, they play sample-heavy music that is way too hard to put a label on. I’ve heard people say they remind them of Quiet Village, which isn’t a great comparison, but it will do. Anyway, this 12″ [...]
Alan Palomo’s Neon Indian project is something you’re either going to love or hate. It has all the elements of this little “glow-fi” movement we are currently experiencing – bedroom production, 80’s pop sensibility, and boombox-blasting beats. That said, it is also the cream of that crop, so if you are into bands like Washed [...]
I received this sleek looking little 7″ on my doorstep the other day, and I have to say, having heard of none of the music in advance, I am very impressed with it. This little slab features four different artists: Bomarr, Copy, Meanest Man Contest, and Roman Ruins. The music ranges from modern, hip electronica [...]
A little late on this one. Thought there might be an interest anyhow. A split vinyl EP containing a few psych-pop beats from High Places and Soft Circle (aka Hisham Bharoocha from Black Dice) put out on Post Present Medium (aka Dean from No Age’s label). In other words: this has hipster jackpot written all [...]
The guys at Insound just shot me an email to let me know they have some new specials going on right now. First up, if you preorder the new Passion Pit LP, “Manners”, you’ll receive an exclusive poster designed by the band and limited to 300. Secondly, if you preorder the new Sunset Rubdown LP, [...]
While most stores are having trouble even keeping this record in stock, Amazon has somehow lowered their price on Animal Collective’s amazing new double LP, “Merriweather Post Pavillion”, to a mere $13.99. That’s about $10 lower than anyone else has it for. If you haven’t already bought this, do it now before they figure it [...]
While out on tour, Holy Fuck and Foals were selling a very impressive split 12″. The record contains a cover of Holy Fuck’s “Super Intuit” by Foals, as well as Holy Fuck covering Foals’ “Balloons”. It is limited to only 250 pieces, and some have become available online for a mere £5. Visit the Young [...]
