MAKE UP Save Yourself LP

PELT A Stone For Angus MacLise LP
*** "This session for harmonium, singing bowl, gong and esraj is one of the most ecstatic recordings in Pelt's vast oeuvre. Hints of Roscoe Holcomb's banjo & La Monte Young's well-tuned piano lurk deep in the two side-long slabs of aural bliss. Best heard behind a few bowls of your very best kif." Limited to 500.

PSYCHIC REALITY / LA VAMPIRES Split LP
*** "Definite off-the-grid mentalities prevail on this genre-dissolving split 12" between SF soul voyager Psychic Reality and So-Cal acid-jazz crate-digger LA Vampires. Inter-flowing songs of tone-float piano keys, bedroom drum machines, and white light amplifier vox. Trance-damaged and truth-seeking." Limited to 450.

TELEFON TEL AVIV Immolate Yourself 12"
*** "Second single from 'Immolate Yourself.' Remixes by THOMAS MULLER, MISS FITZ (aka Maayan Nidam), and BEN KLOCK."

WHITE STRIPES Under Great White Northern Lights LP
