Light In The Attic Records is off to a helluva start with their Modern Classics series. Entry number two is none other than the classic (indeed) 90′s recording Cure for Pain by everyone’s favorite saxophone wielding alternative rock trio Morphine. Featuring remastered audio on 180 gram vinyl, not to mention the very first U.S. pressing [...]
Whoa, here’s a complete winner for those into noise-rock. This band Whores is of Atlanta and is getting a ton of attention lately. Huge, huge recommendation if you’re into The Jesus Lizard, Young Widows, etc. The 12″ is limited to 500 copies total over two different colors of vinyl. Buy at BrutalPandaRecords.com. Ruiner by Whores.
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 [...]
The only thing more exciting than a new Profound Lore release is when said release finally gets a vinyl pressing.We’ve been rocking out to the black magic vibes of these Salt Lake City occult practitioners since early Spring but this type of female-fronted rock music absolutely needs to be blasted on an analog sound system. [...]
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, [...]
Always a pleasure to see new vinyl on the 20 Buck Spin label. These dudes are tapped deep into the Oakland metal vein, and every release is top-notch. Alaric might fall more in line with a dark/death rock vibe, but as we all know: sub-genre classification is trite at best, and Alaric leave no room [...]
One of the greatest, most infamous uncompleted records of all-time has finally been unearthed. Previously lost in the drug-addled aether, The Beach Boys’ “Smile” was recorded in 1966-1967, then shelved indefinitely. Brian Wilson took the band down a road they all found just a bit too winding and weird, and he was way too fucked [...]
The first pressing sold out and there is no plan to re-press a third time so run, don’t walk, to your distro/label of choice and pick up this prime 12″ from Deathcharge. I won’t try to hard to attach a label to this music – it’s death, glam, rock, punk… all that and then some. [...]
We are pretty much constantly blown away by what Thrill Jockey is doing, you should know that by now. They’ve got two even-better-than-usual records out right now, wanted to give the quick heads up. First comes “2013-3102″ from The Skull Defekts. This isn’t your average Skull Defekts record though. In addition to the legendary Daniel [...]
