((((( NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl ))))) It's like 45rpm heaven over here...

BENOIT PIOULARD Flocks 7"
*** Two long and gorgeous exclusive tracks (a song, "Maginot," and the dense ambient track "Alaskan Lashes") from KRANKY RECORDS' Benoit Pioulard, released on yellow vinyl by Windy & Carl. Limited! Don't sleep on this beautiful release.

EXTRA GOLDEN Thank You Very Quickly LP / CD
*** RECOMMENDED "A six-song wonder of a record whose joyous danceable anthems were crafted in the wake of political and economic upheaval in Kenya. Thank You Very Quickly showcases a new level of artistry that could only be referred to as synthesis -- the Benga grooves of Kenya with the psychedelic rock of America."

FINAL Reading All The Right Signals Wrong LP
*** "Undefinable and experimental interpretations of JUSTIN BROADRICK's (GODFLESH, JESU, NAPALM DEATH) more recognized music encompassing the brutal and the dark and the beautiful and the melodic."

FUCKED UP No Epiphany 7"
*** The album version and a NO AGE remix.

HEALTH Die Slow 7"
*** New jams!

KING KHAN & THE SHRINES What Is? 2xLP / CD
*** *** "14 blasts of pure punk-soul. The unique Sun Ra cum Stooges take on psychedelic big band soul is full on here, a literal aural middle finger to the calculated garage rock taking over the malls of America."

PAVEMENT Slanted & Enchanted LP+MP3
*** BACK IN STOCK!

RATATAT Mirando 12"
*** Album jam plus ANIMAL COLLECTIVE remix.

ROYAL TRUX Royal Trux LP
*** BACK IN PRINT! Remastered too, thankfully.

WAVVES To The Dregs 7"

YESTERDAYS NEW QUINTET Angles Without Edges LP
