v/a FANAJANA: A Collection Of Recordings And Photography From Madigasikara LP

JAMES BLACKSHAW All Is Falling LP+MP3
*** "The ultra savant of 12-string mantra cycles expands further into cinematic, orchestral glory--an orgy of pathways to the sublime replete with swirling string cycles and wind instruments augmenting his extended pointillist flurries."

BOSTON SPACESHIPS Our Cubehouse Still Rocks LP / CD
*** "Our Cubehouse Still Rocks is a breakthrough album from Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices), Chris Slusarenko (Guided By Voices) and John Moen (Decemberists). There's no denying a classic-rock flag flying high overhead but now there are echoes of Devo and Wire!"

DEMON'S CLAWS Defrosting Of... LP
*** "Part Gun Club, part Back from the Grave, part lo-fi distorted crunch, part young Mick Jagger with a mouth full of pills, all delivered with a weird, backwoods creepiness. Americana-tinged blues-punk death trip."

THE FORGETTERS Forgetters 2x7"+MP3
*** "Forgetters is a three-piece Brooklyn formed in 2009 by Blake Schwarzenbach (JAWBREAKER), Caroline Paquita (Bitchin'), and Kevin Mahon (Against Me!) to explore the parameters of the power trio as a vehicle to convey sonic and verbal ideas. Expect comedy, tragedy, tea and sympathy."

*** BACK IN STOCK!

NEIL HAMBURGER Hot February Night LP
*** "Mix a couple drinks and listen to America’s Funnyman, Neil Hamburger, as he lives and dies the comedy life that all the greats have lived, too. Hot February Night is truly a brush with greatness."

HAWKWIND Hawkwind LP
*** BACK IN STOCK!

INTELLIGENCE Males LP+MP3
*** "As powerful as a punch in the face by Mike Tyson but with the velvet touch of a dandy fop. Marrying buzzsaw punk, DIY post-punk, ramshackle garage (as in played by The Fall -- not the Chesterfield Kings), and pop hooks aplenty."

L’ORCHESTRE NATIONAL A DE LA REPUBLIQUE DU MALI L’orchestre National A De La Republique Du Mali LP
*** "An album of incredible Malian music reissued for the first time since the 1970s. Eight tracks with beautiful vocals and guitar work. This is the second in a series of six Mali music LPs Mississippi will be reissuing from Sterns."

NDF Since We Last Met 12"
*** "NDF offer music almost perfectly summed up in their own words as 'dance music twilit by…melancholy.' Handclaps, keys and a sparse, bassy percussive loops. Side-B is a remix of the title track from superstar RICARDO VILLALOBOS."

OCTOPUS PROJECT Hexadecagon 2xLP+MORE
*** NOW ON VINYL! New album by OP is ca-razy! The vinyl includes a veritable cornucopia of bonus thingamajigs compared to the lame & tame CD. It's a monster!

FRANKIE ROSE & THE OUTS Frankie Rose & The Outs LP

TY SEGALL & MIKAL CRONIN Reverse Shark Attack LP
*** RECOMMENDED BACK IN STOCK! "TY SEGALL and MIKAL CRONIN bust out a ten-track delight of psychedelic danceable garage rock and effects-ridden psychedelia -- loud guitars, pounding rhythms and vocal harmonies. The B-side is simply insane." Limited to 1,000 copies.

MIKE SIMONETTI That Look 12"
*** "MIKE SIMONETTI, head of ITALIANS DO IT BETTER, digs deep for super obscure house tracks from the early 1990s and edits them into insane, explosive gems few have heard." See also: PERSEO EDITS on CD!

SPACEMEN 3 Performance LP
*** BACK IN STOCK!

STEREOLAB Not Music 2xLP / CD

*** BACK IN STOCK!

TYVEK Nothing Fits LP+MP3 / CD
*** "A scalding collection of amped-up and thrust-out songs that cranks up the energy level far beyond their previous releases and decimates the detractors into the abyss. It's Tyvek at their fiery, screaming best!"
