NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl - The Smiths, Laurel Halo, Games, Diplo + Tiesto(!?!) & more

CECIL BARFIELD South Georgia Blues LP
*** "Recorded in 1978, this LP was originally released under the name "WILLIAM ROBERTSON” due to fears of the taxman. Cecil was an unusual blues musician, giving each song it's own feel and rhythm." On MISSISSIPPI.

LO BORGES Lo Borges LP

VASHTI BUNYAN Just Another Diamond LP
VASHTI BUNYAN Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind 2xLP
*** BACK IN STOCK!

CHROMATICS Night Drive (Deluxe Edition) 2xLP+MP3
*** "The ever-popular narcotic Eurodisco Night Drive release, now expanded to fifteen tracks. Chromatics propels full speed ahead into an uncertain future. Includes a lyric sheet insert."

CRYSTAL STILTS Shake The Shackles 7"
*** "Driven by echoed guitar strum and droning keys, their dexterous update of '60s garage-pop places them alongside late-'80s Paisley Underground heroes like Green on Red and later Dream Syndicate--but the song itself is totally timeless and impossible to place anywhere but firmly in Crystal Stilts' own unique style."

DEATH For The Whole World To See LP
*** BACK IN STOCK!

DIPLO & TIESTO C'mon 12"
*** "Pressed in a limited run, the track that has rocked stadiums all year long is finally getting released on vinyl! DIPLO teams up with the most unlikely of collaborators, trance god TIESTO, a boundary crossing banger."

DJ ROC Crack Capone 2xLP
*** "DJ Roc produces variant strains of Juke music: potentially ankle-cracking manipulation of rhythms, and the sampling, hijacking and ultra-rhythmic micro-editing of the dominant forms of contemporary African-American underground and popular music into a style born and raised on the streets of Chicago."

DUCKTAILS Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics LP / CD
*** "Ducktails is the one-man psychedelic pop project of Matthew Mondanile, guitarist for New Jersey’s Real Estate. Categorized by David Keenan as part of the “hypnagogic pop” movement, Ducktails realizes a shared cultural memory and nostalgia through various genres."

GAMES That We Can Play 12"
*** "The first EP from production duo DANIEL LOPATIN (ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER) and JOE FORD (AIRBIRD, SEX REAHB), blending sampler/synth ecologies from across the globe; Peru meets the futuristic visions of Valis undercut with Premier style chops all pulsating within a well-defined dynamic space reminiscent of Daft Punk."

LAUREL HALO King Felix 12"
*** RECOMMENDED "LH effortlessly blends the classical and modern worlds in a presentation of tonality via a production method infused with extraordinary leads, pads and sequences -- a steadily flowing ocean of sine waves & some heavy vocal harmonies make a salient impact on our brains." Feat. ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER.

JEFF MANGUM Live At Jittery Joe's LP
*** BACK IN STOCK! Yeah, this is the weird guy from NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL.
