Egg, Eggs - Taste of Sundress ()

LP Edition of 200 The doors to the clown car open once again, and we are faced with a new release by Egg Eggs. David Russell’s stream-of-vom lyrical inventions are as crafty as always, and Vanessa Brewster’s vocals provide a nice balance to them on the first side’s suite, “Dairy Farm Days”. Balance and contrast on the flip, “Inside the Mountains” is provided by Klyd Watkins (of Poetry Out Loud fame) and Jenifer Gelineau’s reborn-hillbilly fiddle. The contrast between these approaches emphasizes the theoretical hook of this album’s construction. Just as The School LP by People’s Victory Orchestra and Chorus (1972) was broken into the Boy’s Side and the Girls’ Side, so Taste of Sundress has its fluidity defined by… Read more »

Gary Wilson - You Think You Really Know Me

Gary Wilson - You Think You Really Know Me ()

Gary Wilson “You Think You Really Know Me” LP with Download Includes Booklet. Edition of 900 OUT OF PRINT! REPRESS IN WORKS!  Finally a new vinyl issue of Gary Wilson’s monumental 1977 LP, with extra pics galore, and the original cover art (c/o Owen Maercks’s well-loved copy). Along with notes by Mr. Maercks, Gary Wilson Number one fan! You Think You Really Know Me (also the title of Michael Wolk’s 2005 documentary about Gary) was Wilson’s second LP, but the first he recorded as a vocalist, hewing to his own bizarre vision — a syncretic collision of romance, new-wave-cocktail-jazz, heartbreak, disco-porn-soundtrack-music and experimental tape manipulation. Home recorded in Endicott, NY, the album found a few fans when released, but subsequently became… Read more »

Devin Gary & Ross - Honeycomb of Chakras

Devin Gary & Ross - Honeycomb of Chakras ( / )

LP / Download Included. Edition of 500 OUT OF PRINT This trio — Devin Flynn, Gary Panter and Ross Goldstein — has delivered one of the most blinding psychedelic listening experiences of the last several anna. Only one of these darlings — Ross Goldstein — is known primarily as a musician. Gary Panter is one of our era’s premier visual artists, and Devin Flynn is among the age’s most berserk animation stars. But they have nonetheless managed to blast their way into he very center of a psych-specific cosmos that will make your fingers feel like sausages and your ears wobble as though they’re on stalks. The band has one prior record, the excitingly primitive Four Corners Bounce on Pete… Read more »

Chris Weisman - Maya Properties (Volume 1)

Chris Weisman - Maya Properties (Volume One) ( / )

LP + 7″ Edition of 220 Printed Art by Ruth Garbus Hand Painted by Ted Lee Each Volume will be hand painted by a different artist. Vinylization of the digital release by OSR Tapes Available on YOUTUBE! First vinyl volume (of five) documenting Chris Weisman’s amazing 88 song download session of 2012. The 22 songs here are classic ’60s-ist studio pop. Closest thing this particular sub-set of tunes resembles is a batch of early Nilsson demos or something. Songs he would’ve been trying to get the Monkees to cover on their TV show. The lyrics are not quite as arch as Harry’s were in those days, nor are there any novelty numbers here (thank Yod), but we’re willing to bet… Read more »

Bryan and the Haggards Featuring Dr. Eugene Chadbourne - Merles Just Want to Have Fun

Bryan and the Haggards - Merles Just Want to Have Fun ()

LP  Co-Release with Northern Spy Edition of 300 It’s hard to know exactly what was going through saxophonist Bryan Murray’s head when he first conceived of Bryan & the Haggards, basically an avant-garde jazz ensemble dedicated to playing instrumental covers of tunes by Merle Haggard. Haggard is, of course, the author of such C&W classics as “Okie from Muskogee”, “Fightin’ Side of Me”, “Mama Tried” and other blasts of Bakersfield Baroque. Regardless, the Haggards first two albums were well received, making Wire’s Top Ten list and being lauded in places like the Village Voice. Now, for their third effort, Murray has enlisted the genius of Dr. Chadbourne — singer, banjo player, diehard C&W fan (see such previous efforts as LSDC&W… Read more »

Noise Nomads - Ernest, Thrasher

Noise Nomads - Ernest, Thrasher ()

LP Edition of 300 Back when I was about six months older than I am now, I used to see these bumper stickers around town that said, “There is Nothing Like a Grateful Dead Concert.” My first reaction was to say, “Thank Fuck,” since the last Dead show I saw (Jersey City 8/6/74) pretty much blew. Then I remembered that last goddamn Dead show anyone saw was almost twenty years ago (Chicago 7/9/95) and it makes me wonder what kinda stupid pills the cars’ occupants have been snorting. ‘Cause jesus, there’re all sorts of things like a goddamn Dead show. I won’t name ’em since they mostly suck. But there are plenty of ’em. What there are not plenty of,… Read more »

Los Condenados - Yeppers!

Los Condenados - Yeppers! ()

Los Condenados “Yeppers” LP Edition of 300 Three hot chunks of explosive improvisation fill the debut LP by Los Condenados, one of the Boston area’s most resolutely form-destroying units. Blending electronics, woodwinds and vocals into searing blasts of audio-thuggery, Los Condenados create a gibbering racket that sounds like a collaboration between Voice Crack, the Synder/McPhee Duo, and Schimpfluch. Andrea Pensado, an Argentinian expatriate (by way of Poland’s Krakow Academy of Music), handles laptop and vocals. Her voice contains some of the birthing-terror described by Yoko Ono, but manages to fit itself into treated-packaged-sequences rather than long-form squack-yodeling. Her laptop work is the essence of beautiful noise. Jules Vasylenko plays invented woodwinds — bamboozle sax and trombax — with furious circular… Read more »

tooth ache. - flash & yearn

tooth ache. - flash & yearn ()

LP with download Edition of 300 MATADOR VIDEO Winters get cold in New England. This is especially true up around Burlington VT, where the icy wind whips pine cones around so hard they can pierce metal. Thankfully, Burlington-based musician, Alexandria Hall brooks none of winter’s guff. Using the nom de musique Tooth Ache, she creates oppositional swirls of pure elctronic heat, her voice blending and bending amidst the beats and fat key chords she uses to keep her yurt warm. There are elements of deep club music in Alexandria’s work, but her sound has an ecstatic wobble that constantly shifts its gravitational center up and down a long rubbery sonic shaft. This can leave it dangling dangerously, just beyond reach,… Read more »
