Surf/Sludge 7″

After an excellent debut tape on Monofonus last year, land-locked trio Black Gum wax philosophical with the yin and yang of their new 7”, Surf/Sludge.

Led Er Est

Prolific synthy New York/Texas three piece Led Er Est beamed us up these tracks for another installment of our 10″ one sider series. Turritopsis Blues was recorded in the fall of 2011, and we are very excited to finally be putting this out.

Consider this a three track prequel to “The Diver” coming out in early May on Sacred Bones. This won’t be repressed and is limited to 200 copies. It sounds/looks tight with a silk screened B side and inner white paper sleeve. Don’t sleep.

If you slept I’m sorry. It sold out. Check out Revolver (USA) and Forte (UK) for copies.
Thanks

North African Berserk Debut 12″
hand silkscreened sleeve and a limited edition of 125 copies

Throbbing synth slop n bass, nimble rhythms and howling vocals–These east Romans put their own brand on the trance form, falling somewhere between the Silver Apples and Suicide.

Half the Night is Candlelight Debut full length LP! 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.

John Wesley Coleman III

Nightmare on Silly Street Vinyl LP
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).

Also don’t forget to play Wild Zoo! The video game featuring select jams, and the man himself in nintendo-man form.

Akawa b/w New Vega (live) 7″ single

In the east end of Rome (Roma Est), a festering freak scene has fostered the dissonance, trance, analog tractor beams and focused, rhythmic tantrums of Trans Upper Egypt. Their Debut 7″ on WORT records was released recently in Italy, and now we have some copies here in Texas. This is a small taste of what’s to come on their debut LP, out on Monofonus early next year. Limited run, and even fewer in our possesion, so get them while you can.

Sludge-slinging pop and euphoric, marching doom from the four ladies of Storm Shelter. After a long incubation, finally a debut release! limited to only 50.

Bar Rock 12″ vinyl EP

Fresh off of their amazing debut full-length It Still Rankles, The Pheromoans, the UK’s #1 DIY wedding band, have returned to the studio, imbuing their singular brand of ramshackle honesty with a deeper swagger than previously seen. That’s right, the success has gone to their heads, and like most multi-platinum-selling artists, they’ve decided to indulge with Bar Rock, a 7-song ep (mini album?) released in small quantities on the esoteric medium of 12” vinyl. 300 available to those in the know.
