Pop & Rock Vinyl New Releases - News

The Lyon band's recent collaborations with Virginie Despentes and Béatrice Dalle put them in the spotlight they deserved but this is just the latest chapter of a story started when they were young more than 25 years ago by Eric Aldéa and the drummer Franck Laurino. In the Deity Guns (89-93) and Bästard (93-98) and in a handful of albums (including productions by Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth or Andy Briant de Tortoise*), they were simply the pioneers of post-rock in France. And yet the chapter that arrives today almost resembles the "debut album" of a young band shot through with a fiery and insatiable desire to take on the world. A complex, distressing and oppressive world which is nonetheless rich in its very confusion. "Isn't it all a bit of a mess" seems to be suggested by the title of this new album "Is not That Mayhem' and its striking post-apocalyptic graphic art. There are no limits and who cares what tools, sounds and instruments are used There is trombone on the insistent instrumental We Blew It and even a kind of liturgical organ at the end of Five vs Six. The whole album catches hold of you with its hypnotic layering (Deranged, Myself as a Fool), a chorus in unstable equilibrium (Fake From The Start), an unstoppable rhythm (Marathon Woman walking force), a singular tone of voice (the almost blues-like Alligator Wine borrowed from Screamin' Jay Hawkins), a guitar riff as simple as a tree that hides the forest of variations, advancing from behind to play with neurons and sensations (Recife, 1974 ) ... Just like the old

Asylums have also announced the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album Alien Human Emotions' which is set for July 6th release on much respected indie label (owned and run by Asylums) Cool Thing Records. 

Asylums aren't waiting for millennial redemption to find them, they're making their own. Straight out of Essex and running at full throttle.  The band have taken the challenge of the difficult' second album and used it as a jump ramp to a higher plane. They've always been about massive, thrashing melodic anthems but this is, quite simply, the massivist. The band has changed fundamentally in the last two years, certainly older and potentially wiser. A project that started out as a fizzing ball of un-focused youthful energy (albeit one with great tunes) has morphed into something altogether darker and more intense. It's a slug of ice-cold Jagermeister coming after the two pints of lager and a vodka Red Bull of the debut.

Alien Human Emotions' tackles themes of bitter sex and soured relationships which swirl over bleak analyses of a disintegrating social and political landscape. Frustrated rage writhes below the surface on every track and occasionally bursts through with a shocking intensity. But everywhere are hooks both musical and lyrical that demand repeat listens. The music seeping thru owes as much to the brooding darkness of The Cure as it does to the disjointed mind of Flaming Lips singer Wayne Coyne, both of which only add to the dark danceability of the album.

What you have to look forward to is twelve tracks of killer hooks, soaring melodies, moments of dark audio experimentalism and a social conscience worn like a high-viz jacket. Clear a space in your end-of-year lists now.

egro occupies a unique space in new music: an interstice of guitar poetics and ambient drift hardly anyone else seems to be exploring right now, and 'Clase media' is an album to get lost in even as it suggests new directions. — Chris Brokaw

This is absolutely phenomenal'
Soundscapes with Stephen McCauley, BBC Radio


Guitarist and composer Negro (Fernando Junquera, born 1981, Zaragoza) is an active member of Valencia's underground music scene, one of the most exciting in Spain. Active since the 90s, he's been part of many projects, including Estrategia lo Capto!, La Orquesta del Caballo Ganador and has collaborated with artists such as El Niño de Elche. Clase Media (La Castanya, 2018) is Negro's third solo album to date, following: a split album with fellow Spanish musician, Esperit!, 'Heráclito' (2016, La Castanya); 'Formación del Espíritu Nacional' (La Castanya, 2013); and the self-titled 'Negro' (Greyhead, 2007). For fans of: Brian Eno, John Fahey, Mississippi John Hurt, Slint, Sonic Youth, Tortoise.


Chris Brokaw of bands Codeine, Come, on 'Clase media' LP:
In January 2015 I first saw and heard Negro, the solo guitar project of Fernando Junquera. He brought an intoxicating mix of droning, expansive fingerpicked guitar work; obviously indebted to aspects of both American primitivism and postrock, but with something else. There were a few different things going on I couldn't identify. He smiled a lot as he played and seemed to be having a hell of a good time. The lighting was dim in the club, but things felt as celebratory as they were murky and open.

His work has been referred to as 'post-nuclear Medievalism', and nowhere is this more clear or literal than in the new Negro album 'Clase media'. Junquera's electric guitar work has never felt more narrative, even as the songs take turns where the narrative is steered astray by electronic incursions. The compositions are both conclusive and open ended; the sound is at once compressed and compact, and wide-screen.

My favorite songs are the last three; this is an album where it really pays to listen all the way through. 'Valencia Ciborg' brings in field recordings to good effect; the focus can move off the guitar and wander more. 'Benicarlo Tuareg' feels brave and unafraid; chord changes drop in unexpectedly like a new guest from a new land. 'Velocidad de Perdida', at 12 minutes plus, finally allows Fernando to slow it down, spread it out. Throughout 'Clase media' there is more confidence in atmosphere, where the super shredder lets go and allows the murk to spread and take hold. Negro occupies a unique space in new music: an interstice of guitar poetics and ambient drift hardly anyone else seems to be exploring right now, and 'Clase media' is an album to get lost in even as it suggests new directions.

The Room in the Wood is the latest project by Paul Cavanagh and Dave Jackson. Over the past year, they have written over 30 new songs. Eleven of these appear on their forthcoming self-titled album and will be preceded by a three track, digital only, EP: Magical Thinking. This batch of songs combine Jackson's lyrical storytelling with Cavanagh's exquisite guitar-stylings and make for a diverse collection that blends post-punk pop, gritty blues-folk, and velvety ballads, variously influenced by Russian fairy tales, Francis Bacon, dead oceans, swimming pool bridges and unanswered prayers.
The Room in the Wood was recorded with Steve Powell (Michael Head & the Red Elastic Band) at his Liverpool Arc studio and features (Mark Lanegan /Dave Gahan) drummer, Colin George Lamont, and (Peter Perrett) drummer, Jake Woodward. This is the first time Dave and Paul have worked together since their Liverpool post-punk band, The Room, split in 1985.
Singer/lyricist Jackson has been writing and recording since his teens in bands such as 051, The Room, Benny Profane, Dust, Dead Cowboys, under his own name with former Shack guitarist John Head, and as Dave Jackson & The Cathedral Mountaineers. He has recorded and released 10 albums with these various incarnations and, during the eighties, notched up seven John Peel sessions with The Room and Benny Profane, as well as appearing on the Whistle Test, Janice Long and Saturday Live. He has toured extensively in the UK, Europe and the USA with bands such as The Fall, The Violent Femmes, Aztec Camera, The Lemonheads and The Wedding Present, and currently teaches creative writing at Liverpool John Moores University, having developed his novel Violet City as a low-budget fantasy feature film.
Guitarist Paul Cavanagh has played with Chinese Religion, The Balcony, Ludus, The Room, Top, It's Immaterial, Gloss and Moongoose, has performed as a solo instrumentalist as Cabin in the Woods and as one of Mike Badger's Shady Trio. Paul also worked with former Room drummer Alan Wills at Deltasonic records, with acts such as The Coral and The Zutons and managed The Basement. Paul has toured in the UK, USA, and Europe and recorded four John Peel sessions as well as releasing albums with The Room, Top, It's Immaterial, Moongoose and several critically acclaimed singles with Gloss.

Musically and emotionally, Superpitcher's
third full-length studio album, The Golden Ravedays
is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill,
feeling and style that the artist has honed over a
period of twenty years, musically, and forty-plus-
years, emotionally. And full-length it is: The Golden
Ravedays is an epic album of 24 longer than usual
tracks that was released in January 2017 and is
stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during
a one-year period.

The 12th
and final edition of The Golden
Ravedays album will be released on record label Hippie
Dance in December 2017.

Side A is the ballad of Late Night Skanking. True
to the soul of skanking this track is weaving its delicate
elements between the rise and fall of a monumental wave
that teasingly never breaks. The main melody so
seduces and hypnotizes that before you know it you're a
wide-eyed cobra waving away in a basket.

Standing ovation! Hands in the air! He made it!
The very last track of Superpitcher's epic Golden
Ravedays odyssey is a jovial spree, a hullabaloo of
merrymaking, the perfect celebration of the beginning to
end of this heroic album. Punky Reggae Party is a
fantastic collision of festive sounds, beats and voices that
bring us undecipherable messages and everything else
that is far beyond nice, nice, nice. Encore! Encore!

Holy Now cherishes and renews an indie pop built around captivating melodies and heartbroken lyrics. Songs about an unwillingness to grow up and stay off. Timeless pop music with intimate melodies, yelling drums and sprawling choruses. Jangly fuzz pop where euphoria meets insomnia. Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, the band (consisting of members Julia Olander, Ylva Holmdahl, Samuel Von Bahr and Hampus Eiderström Swahn), debuted in 2016 with the EP "Sorry I Messed Up". The follow up EP "Please Call Me Back" was released in 2017 and helped establish Holy Now as one of the more promising bands on the prosperous Swedish pop scene. Following the releases the band played at both festivals and clubs around Scandinavia and UK, earning them a reputation for their energetic and uplifting liveshow. In 2018 the band returned with the single "Feel It All" from their upcoming debut album "Think I Need The Light", release 27 April via Lazy Octopus Records & OK Tapes.

New album from Anthony Ferraro aka Astronauts, etc, who for most of his music career, served as Toro y Moi's keyboardist, with this album 'Living In Symbol' being his debut solo record.

Sonically, the album weaves its influences into an alien drapery. 'The Border' introduces Latin psychedelia to a groove à la David Axelrod, setting the stage for a vocal performance that manages to be equal parts Lee Hazlewood and HAL 9000. On 'The Room', a Borgesian story gets dressed up in an eerily graceful string arrangement reminiscent of Les Baxter. And 'Who I Talk To' nods to George Harrison in a soft rocking arrangement that supports Ferraro's ghostly croon.
Living In Symbol Is An Ode To Ambiguity, The Future, And Saying 'so Long' To The Known. A Member Of The Last Generation To Experience Life Before Total Interconnectedness, Anthony Ferraro (digitally Known As Tony Peppers) Aims To Be A Bridge Between Two Very Different Realities.

The Spirit Of Change Is Especially Pronounced In California's Bay Area, Where Technologies Dawn And Disruption Is The Noblest Goal. Critics And Advocates Of All Stripes Write Columns And Fill Talk Radio Hours With Their Analyses Of The Times. Ferraro Is A Funny Case: A Sometimes Luddite With A Romantic Streak, He Would Probably Be A Doomsayer If It Weren't For His Being Situated In The Middle Of It All. As It Happens, He Ended Up Writing A Generative Music Algorithm That Sold On Auction At The Smithsonian For $5,000.

His Take On Tomorrow Is Nonjudgmental, Meditative, Imaginative. It Keeps Away From Unqualified Hope Or Outright Alarmism, Choosing Instead To Embrace The Indeterminacy As Food For Dreaming.

Ferraro's Friendship With Chaz Bear, Who Co-produced The Album, Began Modestly Enough: Bear Walked Into The Coffee Shop Where Ferraro Worked While Attending Uc Berkeley. The Two Became Friends, And When Ferraro Graduated The Following Summer, He Signed On As Touring Keyboardist For Toro Y Moi. Musical Bonds Were Forged Over The Next Few Years, And The Pair Began Collaborating On What Would Become Living In Symbol.

Living In Symbol Is A Series Of Rooms, A Choose-your-own-tomorrow Story. Step In And Peer Through Its Open Doors.

Australia's sweetheart, Gabriella Cohen struck gold with the release of her internationally acclaimed debut, Full Closure and No Details in 2016. After extensively touring the album worldwide and sharing the stage with musical heavyweights like The Flaming Lips, Marlon Williams and Rodrigo Amarante, fans and industry alike embraced the dreamy, fuzz-soaked popscapes created by Cohen. The Guardian praised: Seductive, broody and occasionally sinister,' and it drew four-star reviews from MOJO, UNCUT and Q Magazine.

In the summer of 2017, Cohen moved to a farm in countryside Victoria, Australia, to record and self-produce her second album with engineer and partner-in-crime, Kate 'Babyshakes' Dillon. There, amidst flocks of screeching white cockatoos and herds of Black Angus cows, they etched the beginning of Pink Is The Colour Of Unconditional Love. The record was almost complete when the band was invited to join Foxygen's U.S tour, compelling the girls to finish the album on the road. Armed with a microphone and an interface, Dillon and Cohen captured the final touches on a boat in England, the coast of Portugal, in the mountains of Southern Italy, cafes of Mexico, and finally in Venice Beach, Los Angeles.

Pink Is The Colour is an expansive and exciting body of work, showcasing Cohen's unusually refreshing twists on pop arrangements. 'Baby' was born in the graveyard of unrequited love, while 'Music Machine' became a swagger of sultry defiance set in LA. Throughout the new album Cohen creates complex and sugary backing vocals. These signature vocal arrangements—contoured with classic harmonies and nostalgic melodies—form songs remarkable in their originality. Honest heartache is woven into glory throughout the record, and during eleven tracks a candid, almost ethereal self-portrait of its songwriter emerges. For Gabriella Cohen, it's an epitaph of electric wonder, and a definitive fact: Pink is the Colour of Unconditional Love.

A modern psychedelic prophet who layers drawling vocals, heartache, and healing over a background of Velvet Underground-esque guitar distortion.' - Rookie Mag

Darwin Deez is a New Yorker originally from North Carolina. After the success and critical acclaim of the hit single Radar Detector' and his self-titled debut album, in 2010, he toured extensively in support of second and third records Songs For Imaginative People (2013) and Double Down (2015).

The crux of his fourth album, 10 Songs That Happened When You Left Me With My Stupid Heart, is Darwin's singular songwriting. Darwin, the autodidact, is fiercely original as an artist, and enormously catchy and accessible. In the contemporary musical landscape, overfull as it is with redolent reverbs and saccharine synthesizers—a style of music he jokingly calls Spotify-wave'—Darwin still makes sparse guitar songs. But not the kind of mellow, psychedelic' 70's-inspired stuff typical of most guitar-based indie groups nowadays. Songs with energy ( why should EDM have the monopoly on danceability'). Songs with vulnerability. Songs with relatable, audible, intelligible lyrics.

Darwin Deez is one of the few indie musicians who truly ought to be much more famous than he is. Someone with the refreshing ability to be both goofy and grim. Someone with the songwriting chops to express the human condition artfully, in a way that cuts through thick clouds of cultural static. On this record, there is a wider-than-ever range of its expression both instrumentally and vocally. And Darwin always delivers the most unique sing-a-longs, heartbreak or no.

Melbourne/Geelong quartet School Damage began as a bedroom recording project for Carolyn Hawkins (Chook Race, Parsnip) and Jake Robertson (Ausmuteants, Frowning Clouds etc). They released a cassette for Moontown Records in 2013, then were joined by Jeff Raty on drums and Dani 'Damage' Hakim on bass.
Taking cues from pop outfits such as The Vaselines, The Particles and Young Marble Giants, School Damage's sound is defined by wobbly keyboards, weaving bass lines, and lyrical content focused on the vagaries of modern life.
Following on from last year's excellent debut album through Chapter, School Damage return with a new EP for Upset The Rhythm titled 'Sings... Four Songs About One Cat'. As titles go this one hits it on the head, School Damage tell the tale of a very independently-minded feline that they share their life with called Lumpy (also known as Scump). As Jake from the band explains, 'Lumpy is incredibly naughty, she's not very cuddly and she definitely plays by her own rules.  The songs here are a mix about us having anxiety as pet owners - whether she'll run away, or if we're suffocating her by our constant need of attention... and also about how much she enriches our lives.'
For a cat who spends much of her time scratching up record spines, it seems fitting that Lumpy will now grace the cover and sentiment of her very own 7'. Maybe she's just been making room all this time for as many copies as possible of her hit record.

The Record Was Mixed By Bryce Goggin, Whom The Band Sought Out For His Work With Pavement, And Adam Sachs (WIVES).

The Album’s 12 Songs Are Set In Present Day New York City, Packing In References To Contemporary Issues Of Algorithmic Targeting, Media Gentrification, And The Band Itself. On 'NYC (Disambiguation)', They Break Down How The Big Apple Was “Founded By A Corporation” And History Remains Alive In The Present. The Poetic 'Pillar On The Bridge Of You' Is The First Love Song Ben Ever Wrote For Nikki, While 'All Past Lovers' Gazes Back To The “Southern Belle” And “Chat Room Suitor” Who Still Live Inside Him Today.

BODEGA releasen ihr zweites Album 'Broken Equipment' mit der mitreissenden Leadsingle 'Doers' jetzt auf schwarzem Vinyl.

Inspiriert von Selbsthilfebüchern und Vlogs, thematisiert der Song die giftige Seite der erzwungenen Produktivität und macht sich mit seinem zentralen Mantra 'bitter, harder, fatter, stressed out' über Daft Punk lustig. Der Nachfolger des gefeierten Debüts 'Endless Scroll' (2018) und der 'Shiny New Model EP' (2019) ist BODEGAs Versuch, die äusseren Faktoren, die sie zu dem machen, was sie sind, zu hinterfragen, und treibt existenzielle Fragen mit augenzwinkerndem Humor, persönlichen Texten und unwiderstehlichen Grooves voran. Die 12 Songs beziehen sich auf das heutige New York City und aktuelle Themen wie algorithmisches Targeting, Mediengentrifizierung und die Band selbst. So wird in 'NYC (disambiguation)' aufgezeigt, wie der Big Apple von einem Unternehmen gegründet wurde und die Geschichte in der Gegenwart lebendig bleibt.

Written Largely In New York Between Summer 2016 And Winter 2017, 'god's Favorite Customer' Reflects On The Experience Of Being Caught Between The Vertigo Of Heartbreak And The Manic Throes Of Freedom.

It Reveals A Bitter Sweetness And Directness In Tillman's Songwriting, Without Sacrificing Any Of His Wit Or Taste For The Absurd.

These Are Songs That Demand To Know Either Real Love Or What Comes After And As The Album Progresses, That Entreaty Leads To Discovering The Latter's True Stakes.

LP Format Includes Digital Download Code.

No Need To Argue' is the sophomore effort by Irish group The Cranberries that was originally released in 1994. Propelled by the hit song Zombie' about the Irish conflict, the album was a worldwide smash and helped make the band one of the biggest of the 90s. With a more mature approach to songs and subject matter the album features many highlights including "Ode To My Family", "Yeats' Grave" and "Ridiculous Thoughts" with a more lively rock sound than their much mellower debut album. Limited edition of 1,500 copies on clear & blue vinyl in a gatefold cover with printed inner sleeve that includes the lyrics.

7.99Tragically, Cash Askew passed away in the Ghost Ship fire in Oakland in December of 2016, sending a shockwave of loss through our community. While Kennedy Ashlyn would eventually emerge as a solo artist through her project SRSQ, there were unfinished Them Are Us Too recordings and demos that Kennedy and those close to Cash felt deserved be heard in her memory.
Them Are Us Too was formed in the Bay Area by friends Kennedy Ashlyn and Cash Askew in 2012 after meeting at school. Fast friends with an appreciation for the same music and art, they recorded a demo and began performing intimate and memorable gigs on the west coast. They quickly gained a cult following as word spread about their youthful, innocent, and fresh take on the revered 80s dream pop and shoegaze sound, and Kennedy Ashlyn's voice was immediately compared to Elizabeth Fraser, Kate Bush, and Harriet Wheeler - while Cash Askew's washes of intricate guitar felt akin to Robin Guthrie, Ronny Moorings, or Kevin Shields. Their music felt familiar but new, nostalgic, and heartbreaking, with songs delivered simply and earnestly. They betrayed their age (both only 21 when they signed to DAIS) by releasing one of the most incredible debut albums of 2014, Remain'.
Kennedy returned to the studio with producer Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv), Sunny Haire (Cash's stepfather), Matia Somovich (INHALT), and Anya Dross (Cash's girlfriend) to complete unfinished demos and sketches, write new compositions, and honor Cash Askew.
The result is AMENDS': an album of tragic beauty and depth that tugs at emotions and inspires.
In Kennedy's own words:
Amends is a collection of songs that would have been the second Them Are Us Too record. This release is an amendment to our catalogue cut short, a final gift to our family, friends, and fans who have supported us for the past 5 years. Amends' is a collaborative effort between TAUT and some of Cash's dearest friends and family, culminating in a final thank you' and goodbye.' Nothing will ever compensate for the loss of Cash, but as we struggle to put together the pieces of what the world is now, what life is now, I hope this record can help to fill in the gaps. And give us some amount of peace.'
