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 newest record from droned-out, zoned-out psychedelic masterminds The Black Angels is up for preorder. If you’ve heard them before, you know what you’re getting here, 100% heavy deeds. The LP comes on 180 gram vinyl for only $19.99. You can also score a deluxe package with the record, cd, a poster, and a hoodie [...]
I’ve been really, really excited about the new Black Mountain album, their first two records are in constant rotation on my turntable. ”Wilderness Heart” is a little bit more straightforward rock than their last one, but I still think it’s great. For some reason, “In The Future” always sounded pretty dark and occult to me, [...]
Sorry guys, we don’t always exactly breaks the news over here at OMGV. Usually not that big of a deal but when it’s a band we’ve championed as hard as Grails… for shame! These two long out-of-print albums from one of the best bands in existence today are now available to order on the vinyl [...]
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 [...]
We couldn’t possibly be any more excited for a new album from Sweden’s Dungen. These guys have staked out a unique claim in the modern rock landscape by raining acid-sunshine guitar licks upon all the hip young men in tight jeans and busting out smooth jazz melodies for the ladies. The sensual sounds of the [...]
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 [...]
Big bang black metal, indeed. Dominick Fernow unleashes the soundtrack for the birth of the universe – death metal grunts and black metal screeches compete with *gasp* clean singing atop a barrage of blast beats and extreme riffage. You’ve seen it on CD and cassette, now own it on vinyl, finally. $18 in the USA [...]
Moon Unit (not Frank Zappa’s daughter!) return with another dose of hard-driven, in-the-red psychedelia; this time on the impeccably curated Blackest Rainbow label. The only thing staying between your skull and these blown-out psych burners is your face; and these fellows can melt that off for you, no problem. Check out a couple of tunes [...]
Boris returns with a new 12″ EP for Southern Lord containing three songs fronted by vocalist Ian Astbury of The Cult and (sigh) The Doors of the 21st Century. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but what was wrong with Takeshi’s vocals? Oh well, at least Wata sings on one song (a cover of [...]
The brothers Ween continue to paint the town brown with a never ending torrent of vinyl reissues. Coming soon on the Chocodog label (as opposed to the Plain label) is the excellent Quebec from 2003. It’s hard for a band to live up to the expectations set by albums like Pure Guava and Chocolate & [...]
