Buck Gooter - Stainless Steel Mirrors ()

LP Edition of 200 OUT OF PRINT STAINLESS STEEL MIRRORS MUSIC VIDEO The last AIDS Wolf tour with Unicorn Hard On we came through Virginia. I looked in the tour book and it said, support: BUCK GOOTER. Buck what? Valerie said, “you never heard of Buck Gooter? Man, you’re in for a treat.” It was a bleak time for the music in general and the pattern was that each opening band was more horrible than the last and each promoter along the way seemed to give less and less of a fuck.  Somehow, underneath this Ethiopian restaurant in Harrisonburg Virginia, I met the two gentlefolk known as Buck Gooter: Lightening Hands Billy and Terry Turtle and I’ve never been the… Read more »

Bruce Russell - Howling And Instability At High Volume Settings ()

LP Edition of 400 $20 If ever there was an album by NZ’s great Bruce Russell whose title carried the essence of his genius, this is it. The words comes from the manual of the amp that Bruce uses to create his special brand of guitar havoc, and its wording could not be clearer. Naturally, Mr. Russell takes great delight in pushing the poor thing beyond its stated limits as often as possible. The results almost always possess a strange majesty. And so it is here. Originally issued as two-thirds of a CD included in the mythical No More Driver Call Me box (a never commercially available collection of Bruce’s solo music, video work and writing), one of the things… Read more »

The Lentils Brattleboro Is Flooding

The Lentils - Brattleboro Is Flooding ()

LP / Download Slip Edition of 300 Co-Released with BUFU OUT OF PRINT Luke Cehak sounds like a man who has had some troubles. But like the weird alchemy that made Todd Rudgren’s early ’70s sides so crucial, this new Lentils album manages to work as a damn-near-joyful explosion of (or maybe from) pent-up emotion. And it sounds beautiful. As he demonstrated to ably with his former band, Happy Jawbone, Luke’s creative engine is a weirdly canted turbine of distemper. His best songs are always moving along and falling apart at the same time, and so it is here. Like all top-rated generators of skew-assed roots-pop, the Lentils never neglect hooks no matter how wiggly the music gets. Just when… Read more »

Burnt Envelope - Alien Nation: Collected Singles Thus Far ()

LP Edition of 300, Numbered. (First 50 burnt) FOUND THE LAST BOX OF THEM! Vinylization of the first cassette released by Tony Pasquaros’a incredible scuzz-punk project, Burnt Envelope. Tony is well known for his multifarious guises (Crystalline Roses, World Domination, Gluebag, etc.) and membership Frozen Corn, Aerosols and so whatever else might have happened this past week. Alien Nation documents the first imaginary seven singles by the “band,” ranging from garage-spew in the proto-punk vein to brutalist groin thunder. Version Sound’s Bob Moore has compared Burnt Envelope to Electric Eels at their snarliest. Regardless of labels, the music here is a brilliant mock-trio throb that ranges from neolithic suburban psych pulse of a Lazy Smoke cover, right on through to… Read more »

Moonsicles - Bay Of Seething ()

LP with MP3 Download Edition of 350 Lovely, mysteriously-canted debut LP by the new Austin-based quartet put together by Aaron Russell (ex-Cherry Blossoms, Weird Weeds, etc.). The music on Bay of Seething is instrumental, and rolls with a very cinematic feel, as though it were the soundtrack for some sort of rather sad, but highly psychedelic, movie. Sonically, if you need easy handles, the sounds are probably closer to Weird Weeds’ than to Cherry Blossoms’, perhaps because bassist Lindsey Verrill is a Weeds alum as well. But perhaps not. The blend of Aaron’s guitar — sometimes raw and heavy, sometimes more in the electro-folk mode  — with Sheila Scoville’s synth, Verrill’s bass and Carolyn Cunningham’s drums creates a dynamic and… Read more »

Ted Lee - Star Dust ()

LP. Blue Vinyl. Edition of 100. Numbered. / Signed Original Painting by T.Lee First 11 come with a booklet. Other don’t. OUT OF PRINT Soundtrack of an as yet unmade film about puppets trapped in a sofa world. If you ever dreamed of doing air-sock-muppet displays, you will thrill to the sounds trapped hereon. The storyline has to do with little gas giants who get lost and wander the lanes between the cushions until they expire like old library cards. Besides the vocal routines there also seem to be a host of electronic seam-busters who skittle around the edges of the aktion like so many pork gobblers. It’s easy to lose the thread of story when Ted starts bowing everything… Read more »

No Sod - 1:11/11:11 ()

LP Edition of 100. The First 47 of the 100 comes with 44 page book of drawings/manipulations by Ted Lee. WITH BOOKLET. OUT OF PRINT! WITHOUT BOOKLET. OUT OF PRINT! Ted Lee, drummer, noise-generator, master of all he surveys, has dropped a new solo LP under the moniker, No Sod. What exactly that means, he will not say. Nor will he exactly explain the album’s title — except to agree that it represents a ratio — so let’s skip all that stuff. What we’re left with is the actual meat of the matter, and if you have any affinity for sounds of the out, this meat will make you very happy indeed. The two sidelong pieces have rather different personalities. The… Read more »

Roger Miller - Oh. ()

LP Edition of 350 (Mystery Color Vinyl) Roger Miller, king of many roads both known and unknown, has a long and illustrious recording history. As a member of Sproton Layer, Destroy All Monsters, Mission of Burma, The Din, etc., he has made many records that are definitive statements of powerful outsider rock music in many guises. But this, his third solo LP, originally released by Forced Exposure in 1988, remains one of the great lost chords in his discography. Although he’d been focusing mostly on extended keyboard techniques for a couple of years, Roger approached us with the idea of doing a guitar-oriented record, and furthermore suggested that he’d spraypaint the back covers of all copies in his driveway, after… Read more »

Thee Arcadians -  We Have Come For Your Parents ()

LP with download Edition of 300  Cover by Gary Panter New England has a long tradition of teenagers being raised in caves. Local histories are rife with descriptions of shaggy teenaged gangs appearing in towns and hamlets, usually in late Autumn, causing massive amounts of trouble before disappearing once more into the hills. The members of Thee Arcadians count no literal cave dwellers amongst their number, but the semiotic weight of their message is as raw & subterranean as any you will hear this year. The band is young, but mos the members have been playing in various configurations since not long after ditching their diapers. We’ve been hearing rumbles from them for as long as we can remember. But… Read more »
