MOON DUO Escape LP / CD
*** "S.F. duo Sanae Yamada and Erik Johnson (WOODEN SHJIPS) create a primordial and disorienting sonic stew inspired by John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Silver Apples, Royal Trux, Moolah, Suicide, and Cluster. Eerie!"

THE PLIMSOULS Live! Beg, Borrow & Steal CD
*** October 31,1981 Whisky A Go Go

ROGUE WAVE Permalight CD

*** "A punchy, deceptively effervescent set of classic, inward-looking Pop tunes highlighted with psychedelic guitars, synths, pastoral sound effects and intricate rhythms."

THE RUBY SUNS Fight Softly CD
*** "Not as wide-eyed or lighthearted as its predecessor, Ruby Suns new album remains beat-centric with scuzzy, digital melodies. McPhun's soulful upper-register croon, swallowed into the mix, replaces group chants and full-throated singalongs."

STARS OF THE LID Music For Nitrous Oxide CD
*** BACK IN STOCK! First album (+ bonus jams, I think).

KURT VILE Constant Hitmaker LP / CD
*** BACK IN STOCK! A slightly older release by one of our current favorites.
