Basically these are our favorite records/ singles, whether they’re 30 years old or just came out yesterday. You should listen to them.
This Sacred Bones Records compilation marks the second Record Store Day exclusive we’re covering. It features plenty of bands (Moon Duo, Zola Jesus, Trust, Cult of Youth) who have recently graced our headlines, so in terms of compilations it doesn’t get much better than this. Continue reading “Various Artists – Todo Muere Volume 1”
Believe it or not, this PREFAB MESSIAHS 7″ contains songs that were originally penned back in 1982. They have been uncovered from their original Wormtown Recordings home and somehow magically fit right into what we’re usually focusing on around here. Continue reading “The Prefab Messiahs – Franz Kafka 7″”
PURE X (formerly Pure Ecstasy) re-release one of their early 7″ singles in 12″ EP format from the Acéphale and Light Lodge labels. Last we heard was the “Voices” 7″, so it’s about damn time these Texas haze-rockers come back around. Continue reading “Pure X – You’re In It Now EP”
They sure kept us waiting a long ass time, but CRYSTAL STILTS sophomore effort finally hit shelves this month thanks to the Slumberland folk. It takes a few runs through, but this stuff manages to grow on you in a different way than “Alight of Night”. Continue reading “Crystal Stilts – In Love With Oblivion”
HAPPY RECORD STORE DAY! Bo from BOZMO sent over this single for our consideration, and we’re glad he decided to do that. These dudes hail from Boston in the thick of all the goodness that’s brewing up there and they seem to be onto something with their vigorous pop-punk. Continue reading “Bozmo – Golden Feeling”
KRANG is made up of four dudes from Edmonton. Their combination of musical talents together creates a psychedelic sweat lodge of insanity that will most certainly tear you a brand new asshole. Continue reading “Krang – Speed of Tent 7″”
I wonder if they wanted to release the album on 4/20 on purpose? Something inside tells me that’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. This is the debut full length from NATURAL CHILD, and it follows along perfectly with their motto, “Let the good times roll.” Continue reading “Natural Child – 1971”
If you weren’t aware of this one then there’s only one question you should be asking yourself – where the hell have I been? PANDA BEAR releases his third official album tomorrow from Paw Tracks, and the world couldn’t be happier. Continue reading “Panda Bear – Tomboy”
Boston’s own GIRLFRIENDS have been gaining much momentum in recent days. They just played a shit-ton of shows at SXSW, and now they’re getting approval from sources like NPR, The Onion, and Wire Magazine amongst others. Now they’ve even got this brand new 7″ single! Continue reading “Girlfriends – Cave Kids 7″”
We’ve covered a handful of releases from the Sacred Bones camp recently, and here’s one more you can add to the list. Hailing from Chile, the HOLYDRUG COUPLE just released their debut EP in the new year, and this is just more proof that there’s plenty to obsess over from the mysterious Chilean underground. Continue reading “The Holydrug Couple – Ancient Land EP”
