Blue Hawaii “Untogether” LP

We’ve been spinning Untogether for quite some time now. It’s an electronic record hidden deep within a pop album masquerading as folk music. A wide range of influence come together for a singular sound, and one we’ve been enjoying immensely. You can pick this up from the label at arbutusrecords.com. Tweet

Black Pus “All My Relations” LP

March has come and gone, but Thrill Jockey’s March releases are still hanging around. April is here (along with new titles from the label) but we would be neglectful to not point you towards the brain melting new solo album from Brian Chippendale’s Black Pus. I mean, get real, what the fuck are we supposed [...]

Lee Noble “Ruiner” LP & “No Becoming” Reissue

Lee Noble’s official followup to Horrorism will be released shortly, and is now up for a pre-order. Ruiner is another collection of “elemental pop music” from Lee Noble, and is being released alongside a much needed reissue of No Becoming, which sold out on cassette so very long ago from none other than Sweat Lodge [...]

Deerhunter “Monomania” LP

What else happened this weekend? Well, Deerhunter announced a new album, that’s what. And just like every other lazy ass “online music journalist” out there I am simply going to copy and paste the band’s own writeup: Mystery disc of NOCTURNAL GARAGE. rat tapes / NEW FORMAT is avant garde(?) but only in context not [...]

Tape Tuesday: Prurient “Through The Window” CS

This literally sold out in the time it took me to post this. Give your tears to the internet: blackesteverblack.bigcartel.com. I believe they’ve only released the first 30 tapes (from a batch of 100) so keep your eyes peeled if you’re keen on this, probably more to come. This will be released on vinyl soon… Tweet

NNA Tapes: Blanche Blanche Blanche “Wooden Ball” LP & Anthony Child “The Space Between People And Things” LP

Two new tapes, I mean, vinyl records from NNA Tapes are due for release on March 5th. You can pre-order right now, and listen to samples below. It’s worth mentioning that you might know Anthony Child better as the UK techno stalwart Surgeon, and this album is a collection of ambient odds and ends the [...]

Altar Eagle “Nightrunners” LP

Everybody knows that Brad Rose is a busy man. Lucky for us, dear reader, he still finds time to sit down with his wife and kick out stellar pop music under the Altar Eagle banner. Nightrunners is the second LP from this gorgeous duo, and makes its home on Digitalis Industries, of course. Pick it [...]

Two Great 7″ Records by Robes

I’ve really been enjoying these two 7″ singles by Robes. This brand of uplifting electro-pop may not be groundbreaking, but it’s endlessly enjoyable. Definitely check them out if you like Hot Chip, Cut Copy, etc. They’re both on colored vinyl and cost $5 each. Oh, the Kilian Eng cover art doesn’t hurt either. Visit their [...]

Lee Noble / Ensemble Economique “Motion Forever” Split LP

It’s nice to see that labels are aggressively releasing records by some of the most promising members of the experimental/drone community. Hands In The Dark stepped up to bring the world this mind-bending split by Lee Noble and Ensemble Economique. If you’re into this stuff, it’s gonna be a total winner. If you’re uninitiated, it’s [...]

Stereolab Reissues

Well it’s about damn time. The same label that had the good sense to reissue Selected Ambient Works, Vol. II is also reissuing two of the greatest records to ever grace the 90s. These two albums are responsible for countless hours of eBay scouring, sifting through Japanese bootlegs and dodgy sellers, just trying to come [...]
