Thanks to everyone for buying up the Led Er Est records so fast! We only did 200 and they are sold out from us. Still some copies via Revolver Distribution. Also check out their full length now available on Sacred Bones.

Coming out next from Monofonus we will have two new LPs…

XYX was nice enough to give us their final LP, and it is being pressed now. Sounds great. Looks great. Stoked!

On the same day (July 10) Thousand Foot Whale Claw delivers their debut LP titled Dope Moons. As an appetizer for Dope Moons we have a few copies of their tape just released on Holodeck Records. I’ll have it up for sale in our store very soon. If you can’t wait cruise over there and chill the fuck out.

Finally the dust has settled around here after SXSW. We had a great time, and met some wonderful people. Big thanks to everyone who came out to the shows. We’ll have some sort of compilation audio/visual documentation of it very soon.

Today we are pleased to announce the official release of two new pieces of vinyl. We have the debut 12″ of Italy’s Trans Upper Egypt titled North African Berserk, and a 10″ one sider from our old friends Led Er Est. We’ve been amping up our screenprinting around here with the help of Bearded Lady, and both of these look really great. Check them out and consider buying them in our store. Videos for both releases under the pics.

Stay tuned we got a bunch of new stuff in the pipe too…

Winter Zines

Cory — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 17:14:20 +0000

For our second batch of ‘zines we’ve wrangled another amazing group of photographers, illustrators, painters, poets, and writers. Take a look at our library on issuu to see most of them. Authors of these winter 2012 ‘zines are Ana Klausmann, Thor Harris, Drew Liverman, Scott Eastwood, Matt Rebholz, Michelle Devereux, Max Juren, Morgan Coy, William Z. Saunders, Grant Cross, Anhelo Escalante, and the crew over at Trailer Space records. We print very few of these, but, if you’d like to hold one in your hands and experience them on the next level. Send us an email and we’ll sell them to you!

New Sands Hollow Video

First two Monofonus LPs of 2012 coming at you!

Cory — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:08:33 +0000

Happy to announce the first couple of releases for this new year are available for PREORDER. Up first is a John Wesley Coleman/Morgan Coy joint titled Nightmare on Silly Street. Back in 2008 we unleashed John Wesley Coleman on the world with his first ever full length release, American Trashcan. Before coming back to us with his fifth album he put out LPs on Daggerman, Certified PR, and Goner. As an experiment for this LP, Wes brought Morgan Coy some 4 track recordings of new songs (these appear as Side B), and Morgan rebuilt them into a multi layered cake (Side A). As usual you can preview the LP in it’s entirety right HERE!

Up next we have the follow up to last years killer 7″ we put out. Half the Night is Candlelight is Sands Hollow’s debut full length LP! It’s a super limited run on a silkscreened sleeve.

Sands Hollow smoothly jump to the long format and still leave us wanting more with Half the Night is Candlelight. Keeping the sun in even their darker corners, they’ve made an excellent debut that plays out not as a “psych” album, but as a folk record that accidentally got weird. Check it!

SLICE OF HOPE!

Behold, the companion video game for a Michelle Devereux’s series of drawings “Dudes on Pizza”. Surf your pizza to save the future of humanity? The music is by SssstormshelterrrR (the band which Michelle drums in). The game was made by Morgan Coy.
