Well, Southern Lord is releasing tapes now. Or so it would appear as the newest (and one of my favorite) albums from the much maligned Wolves in the Throne Room is now available on compact cassette. This also features the Malevolent Grain EP (which I thought was terrible) so you are getting plenty of bang [...]
A new year and a new tape from Rhinocervs. Untitled black metal rituals to get your 2012 off on the right foot hoof. Pick up the newest from rhinocervs.blogspot.com.
Three Lobed Recordings dug into the catacombs to pull out this awesome collaborative LP by Bardo Pond and Tom Carter. Originally recorded eight years ago, “4/25/03″ is an interesting time-capsule that hints at where drone/psychedelic music would go in the coming years. It sounds like early, primitive recordings by Barn Owl or Grails, which is [...]
We are more than excited to see a new LP from Ilyas Ahmed – especially on Immune, who did such a fine job with the 2xLP pressing of Between Two Skies/Towards The Night. With Endless Fire sees the artist further solidifying his position as one of the most gifted artists in the droning realms of [...]
Wow. $70 for a 3xLP is always a dubious proposition. It depends mostly upon how much you love said band and especially, said album. Luckily this is easily one of the best feel-good psych albums of our generation… but why the exorbitant price tag? Well, it is the Holidays. And also, this is imported all [...]

[...]
Love them or hate them, Mastodon rocks. Their $45 deluxe album editions don’t necessarily rock, but hey, they sound great and I buy them anyways (as do plenty of others, I am sure). You can always go the “cheap” route and buy the $25 version compressed onto one slab of vinyl. Or you could spend [...]
Colorado’s Woodsman represent some of the strongest, most exciting modern psychedelic music this country has to offer. Over the course of some great vinyl, they’ve honed their sound perfectly, now entering a darker, grittier, kraut-ier zone on their newest EP, “Mystic Places”. If psychedelic music excites you at all, get on board, support this band, [...]
Wow! What better way to start a cold and rainy Tape Tuesday than with a new tape from Stunned?! You know it’s gotta be a good one to drive these underground heroes out of early retirement, and sure enough – two new sides from Plankton Wat and Super Minerals (here expanded with the talents of [...]
Late breaking Tape Tuesday announcement on account of no announcements this morning: this C50 from folked up freaks Sylvester Anfang II just popped into the Brave Mysteries shop. This compiles two previous releases from the enigmatic collective. Funereal psychedelia for graveyard fetishists, limited to 100 at $7 each or score five tapes for $30 (this [...]
