Richard Youngs & Raül Refree "Nil By Mind"
For their first meeting, Richard Youngs (Glasgow) and Raül Refree (Barcelona) have created a suite of stately, circular longform songs that manage to connect Tim Buckley's Happy Sad to Federico García Lorca to plainsong liturgy. The largely acoustic and quietly urgent All Hands Around the Moment...
-
Donovan Quinn "Satanic Summer Nights"
Absalom is the 4th full length release from Donovan Quinn (Skygreen Leopards/New Bums), and his first solo outing in 7 years. Coming out of the psychedelic underground school of '01, Quinn has slowly built an idiosyncratic catalogue that combines obsessive long-form metaphors and oblique...
-
Matthew De Gennaro "What It Is ?"
Wandering homebody Matthew De Gennaro has created a beautiful new opus titled What It Is ? The answer to the album’s question: a moving set of deep and transcendental micro concertos, composed and performed almost entirely by the artist himself. De Gennaro summons sounds and styles from…

Olumpus "Rotting in My Room"
Olumpus, née Olympus, have bubbled-up for another round nearly a decade after the release of their first LP. Bold Mould, their debut, brought two known quantity one-man racket makers--Pat Kraus and Stefan Neville--into fine duo-dom form, birthing a brilliant post-punk side in the tradition of…

Ulaan Markhor "Flowering"
Ulaan Markhor returns with Helm, a new batch of songs that explore the dissonant, dark corners of post-punk and it’s many permutations. Steven R. Smith’s first recordings as Ulaan Markhor surfaced in 2012, and since that self-titled debut LP he’s continued to refine the sound and feel of the...

The Skygreen Leopards "I Fell Asleep In The Sunbleached Grass (I'll Just Pass Away)"
“The Jingling World of The Skygreen Leopards” is a collection of songs from the first two Skygreen Leopards CDRs on Jewelled Antler; two mini albums written & recorded in the distant days of 2001, a year with a name that evokes a psychedelic future but which now seems very much part of the...
-
Matthew De Gennaro "What About This"
Matthew De Gennaro is a deep listener & composer of unclassifiable esoterica that draws on folk music from around the globe. In recent years, his finger-picked, highlife imbued guitar playing has taken on more prominence in his pieces, and there’s been a proliferance of personal story songs as...
-
Church Shuttle "Factory Child"
Church Shuttle is Chris Durham, and over the last few years he’s eked out a handful of short-run tapes that explore the attitude intersection of Fluxus traditions & contemporary Midwest basement noise/murk. Natural Disaster is the first vinyl appearance for Church Shuttle, and a nice intro to…

Donovan Quinn "Game With No Rules"
Donovan Quinn makes the leap back into solo activity with Dad Was Buried in His Leather Jacket, an EP of mostly uptempo story songs with character changes but consistent stories throughout each song. Herein Quinn writes about those at the end of a long series of parties, in the penumbra around…

Pumice "A Window Into A Egg"
For as long as most people can remember, & ever since Sugar Jon Arcus (Armpit) bowed out of the band, Pumice has been the ad hoc alter ego of Stefan Neville. This has never sat well with Neville; he always considered Pumice a band no matter what, even if the records and live performances…

Pumice "Why I Chew My Sleeves"
For as long as most people can remember, & ever since Sugar Jon Arcus (Armpit) bowed out of the band, Pumice has been the ad hoc alter ego of Stefan Neville. This has never sat well with Neville; he always considered Pumice a band no matter what. Following a sabbatical from his own music that…

Carter Thornton "The Field"
New York guitarist Carter Thornton has manipulated sound in mysterious underground corners for decades – his contributions to No Neck Blues Band satellites, doom/drone metal ensemble Gnaw (with Alan Dubin of Khanate), avant-pop group Pigeons, and the mostly-solo endeavor Zashiki-Warashi are...
-
LXV "Back Drop Pull"
LXV is the moniker of Philadelphia-based producer David Sutton (Current Amnesia, Car Commercials, etc). His latest, Asylum/Theophany, serves as a meditation on Chapel Perilous, an occult term that concerns confusion surrounding supernatural experiences in the physical world. Sutton deeply renders...
-
Donovan Quinn & the 13th Month "Mom's House"
With an enigmatic deadpan, Donovan Quinn delivers lyrics written in a dense and fragmentary style; the influence of writers such as Malcolm Lowry and Thomas Pynchon figure just as heavily on his craft as musical influences Robyn Hitchcock, Pavement, Robert Forster and Skip Spence. Your Wicked Man...

The Deadnotes "Broken Wheel"
The Deadnotes are Eugene Carchesio, Stuart Busby and Leighton Craig, from Brisbane, Australia. With an arsenal of trumpet, guitar, drums & casio, the trio make a glorious racket that's drawn comparisons (rightly or wrongly) to Ennio Morricone, Maher Shalal Hash Baz, The Magic Band, Moondog and…

Blackout Beach "Claxxon's Lament"
From the sessions that yielded Blackout Beach's Light Flows the Putrid Dawn record; this is the original version of Carey Mercer's epic "Claxxon's Lament."
-
Flying Canyon "The Bull Who Knew The Ring"
Soaring like The Eagles on Robitussin, Flying Canyon's mournful folk-rock slowly ascends into the desert sky. Existing in the sun-baked tradition of burnt-out Cosmic Californians like Sky Sunlight Saxon, Skip Spence, David Crosby and Phil Perlman, Flying Canyon frontman Cayce Lindner is tapping a...

Flying Canyon "Crossing By Your Star"

-
Felipe + Forté "Violent Flag"
First collab full-length from Nick Forté (NY) and Dino Felipe (FL). Shaggy Black provides deeply processed, yet undeniably organic experience; a unique anomaly of resplendent and savage textures. The union of man-made and machine-based sounds creates a heady, blistering atmosphere. No beats!
-
The Battles "Changes"
Not to be confused with that goofy heavy-handed group without the 'the', The Battles hail from Vancouver. Tomorrow's Eager Hands is their second full-length after a long, five-year sojourn. The new songs deliver on the promise of their debut (2001's Lycanthropy); Stephen Wood's songwriting chops...
-
Carter Thornton "The Church"
Carter Thornton (Gnaw, Zashiki-Warashi, etc.) re-emerges with volumes of new material under the banner Mapping the Ghost. The work unfolds via a series of hints constructed by Thornton alone, using traditional instrumentation, found sounds and more. You never heard such sounds in your life.
-
Wooden Wand "Eagle Claw"
Wooden Wand's first album a solo artist is influenced in equal parts by legendary hedonists Fleetwood Mac and West Coast sad sack Judee Sill. The intention to create something timeless and ageless informs each note this music, for better or worse. Conceived during a sabbatical in Los Angeles…

Human Television "Automobile"
Human Television aim to evoke a feeling through the vehicle of a song by cleverly utilizing and manipulating the painfully obvious, yet often forgotten elements of melody, minimalism, repetition, and simplicity.
