This, my friends, is some unbelievably blown-out action. For the ninth volume of FRKWYS, Sun Araw and M. Geddes Gengras went to Jamaica and teamed up with reggae superstars The Congos for one of the most smoked-out, weirdest sessions ever put to tape. It’s really, really good, just not for the squares. Get the LP [...]
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, real life has gotten in the way of fun stuff like music. We should be back to full speed tomorrow. In the meantime, if you’re looking for some psyched-out new tapes, you can’t do much better than Sun Araw’s Sun Ark label. Righteous Acid’s “Mellow Doses” is burned [...]
Our homeboy Cameron Stallones is set to release another 2xLP of bombed-out, lo-fi fuzzy funk for his Sun Ark Records label via Drag City. White vinyl, gatefold jacket, accompanying art book.

After a show together at SXSW 2010, psych mainstays Eternal Tapestry and Sun Araw linked up for an in-studio session live on Austin’s KVRX. The folks at Thrill Jockey have thankfully presented the recordings, heard as they were originally conceived with no overdubs and minimal editing, on the almighty LP format.

This one is not for the uninitiated, it [...]
In addition to the new Purling Hiss record we recently wrote about, Woodsist has three more new ones up for order. The first is “Off Duty”, the new ep from Sun Araw, also previously mentioned. If you love Cameron Stallones’ other work, you’ll love this one too, it’s pure dubbed-out psychedelic madness. The second new [...]
We were going to wait to mention this till it came out on Woodsist next week, but since you can score it from the artist directly, now seems as good of a time as any. A new ep of songs from Cameron Stallones’ Sun Araw project means there’s a lot of excitement around these parts, [...]
The perfect ending to your deadbeat summer. I know you all haven’t been doing shit except sitting on the porch melting in the heat for the past two months. If either of these records didn’t get played at least once while you were busy doing that, then it probably means that you don’t own either [...]
The only thing better than buying new vinyl is buying new vinyl for a worthy charitable cause, instead of just your own selfish impulses. This compilation makes it easy for you to hit that paypal button, featuring as it does amazing contributions from the likes of OMG favorites Sun Araw, Ducktails, Metal Rouge, Sam Goldberg [...]

The new full-length, “On Patrol”, is an album I’ve been feverishly anticipating. After spending a few days with [...]
