((((( NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl ))))) Cat Power, Rivers Cuomo, Grizzly Bear

AS MERCENARIAS / FELLINI 7"
*** "Super-limited two-sided 7" sampler taken from Soul Jazz Records Brazilian Post-Punk compilation, The Sexual Life of The Savages. As Mercenarias are an all-female equivalent of ESG who hail from Sao Paolo, Brasil and sound like Gang of Four/Pop Group/Slits as well as Le Tigre/Chicks on Speed."

CAT POWER Jukebox 2xLP
*** "CAT POWER returns with her second album of cover songs, this one a tribute to the great vocalists who have influenced her over the years. The album comes in two versions: a.) Deluxe silver-foil gatefold cover (on both LP and CD) with bonus disc containing extra tracks, and b.) Regular jewelcase version (CD only)."

RIVERS CUOMO Alone LP
*** NOW ON VINYL!

GRIZZLY BEAR Sorry For The Delay LP
*** "Initially conceived by Ed Droste, who, in 2002, began a 15-month 'hibernation period' in his Greenpoint apartment, the seven nuggets that make up this release are the creative genesis of the Grizzly Bear oeuvre. Elegiac, emotional, endearing, and earnest. Contains a haunting cover of Yes hit, 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'."
