PRINCE JAMMY In Lion Dub Style LP

TUNE-YARDS w h o k i l l LP+MP3 / CD
*** BACK IN STOCK! "Garbus has applied the tUnE-yArDs live approach to her studio work but her tools have not changed. She's added more buttons and joints to those already being used & the opportunities exploited are evident in the album's dynamic range."

WASHED OUT Life Of Leisure LP+MP3
*** "Debut 12" from Ernest Greene aka Washed Out. Bent synth-pop gems that are equal parts psychedelia and anthemic club banger. All recorded in his parent's home in the rural Georgia town where he grew up. Essential and addictive."
