((((( NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl ))))) Animal Collective, John Fahey, Benoit Pioulard, Vampire Weekend, Broadcast & more

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE Fall Be Kind EP+MP3 / CD
*** "The Fall Be Kind EP features 5 brand new studio tracks that are every bit as lush and beautiful as those found on Merriweather. The year of Animal Collective continues.

BIG BLACK Songs About F*cking LP
*** BACK IN STOCK!

BROADCAST & THE FOCUS GROUP Investigate Witch Cults... LP / CD
*** NOW ON VINYL! "BROADCAST and graphic artist JULIAN HOUSE (aka THE FOCUS GROUP) present a psychedelic album pulling in a unique sense of melody and love of library music, film scores, electronics and psych-pop colour."

CLUSTER Curiosum LP
*** "Cluster's 6th album, released on Sky Records in 1981, was to mark a departure to pastures new. A decidedly tranquil, almost melancholy album, this is Cluster music at its most serene, a sense of profound humility, stripped down and keenly focused on perfect shapes. This is Cluster's swan-song to the past."

DELTA 5 Mind Your Own Business 7"
*** "A post-punk classic first released in 1979, Delta 5's debut single, backed with a remix by post-punk hero Peter Hook, best known as the bass player for Joy Division and New Order."

JOHN FAHEY America 2xLP
*** "The complete America double album, released on vinyl for the first time ever. Originally released in 1971, America is one of the artistic high points of John Fahey's career. And yet, for nearly 30 years it was not heard in its entirety, as what was originally intended as a double album was pared down to a single LP. Limited edition of 3,000 numbered copies." 180 gram vinyl.

JAVELIN Lindsay Brohan EP
*** "Sounds range from broken dance jams to relaxed instrumental cut-ups, created with love on their MPCs. Long forgotten samples are chopped and re-assembled with drums, wooden recorders, old keyboards, handmade thumb pianos or whatever instruments are readily at hand. The result is a kind of mix tape fantasy where R&B impresarios, amateur booty bass producers and Andean flautists hold equal sway."

NICO Desertshore LP
*** BACK IN STOCK!

BENOIT PIOULARD Lee 7"
*** "A two-song tribute to Lee Hazlewood & The Ink-Spots from Kranky artist Benoit Pioulard. Gorgeous & otherworldly, pairing rich, uncanny atmosphere with solid songwriting, these tunes are marked by a directness & clarity not found in his original compositions." Limited to 300 copies.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND Cousins 7"
*** "Vampire Weekend is back with the first single from the new album."
