TUCKER ZIMMERMAN Dance Of Love
Across Tucker Zimmerman’s over 50-year career, the Belgium-based/US-born octogenarian folk singersongwriter has maintained a level of obscurity, earning a reputation as one of American folk music’s most underrated talents. His discography – a gorgeous collection of records that explore his wide range of influences, from 12-bar blues to full-band rock concertos and classical piano compositions – is a deeply personal sonic memoir; a tribute to the people, experiences, and sounds that have shaped his life.
Over the years Zimmerman has received praise from contemporaries such as 4AD labelmate and collaborator, Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker (“Tucker Zimmerman is one of the greatest songwriters of all time”), and even David Bowie, who called Zimmerman “too qualified for folk” and placed his debut 1969 record Ten Songs on his list of 25 favorite albums for Vanity Fair.
In the spirit of celebrating his past, opening up his world to more audiences, and continuing to build his legacy, Zimmerman resurfaces with Dance of Love, his 11th studio album and 4AD debut. Produced by Big Thief; listeners will find meaningful friendships, hard-butvaluable lessons, worldly experience, and ultimately, lots of love.

“Tucker Zimmerman is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. What inspires me most about Tucker as a craftsperson is that even in his eighties he’s still writing more songs than I write. He’s one of the most prolific creators I’ve ever met. That’s what I want to be when I grow up. Ever-curious, ever-awe struck, full of wonder, creative.”

The Ouroborus - that is, the icon of the snake or dragon ea6ng its own tail - appears to some a statement of the brutality of nature. To others of a Gnos6c disposi6on it symbolises the duality of the divine and earthly in mankind. But most commonly, it’s taken simply to mean the endless cycles of death and rebirth that characterise life on this planet. As such, it’s an image that looms large in the world of Goat, the ever-mysterious and endlessly revivifying collec6ve whose latest album marks another adventure above and beyond this par6cular plane of reality.
This may be a band that has named albums both Requiem and Oh Death, yet this eponymous salvo proves yet again that transcendence and metamorphosis are their watchwords. Goat sees this ever-unpredictable ouEit summoning rhythmically-driven rituals in unmistakable, upliFing and scin6lla6ng style, equally adept at igni6ng dancefloors and expanding minds.
‘One More Death’ and ‘Goatbrain’ are spectacular curtain-raisers, embodying a hedonis6c spirit driven by incisive funk and possessed by merciless fuzz/wah-drenched guitar. Yet elsewhere, the band’s love of hip hop is the fuel for the end-credits-epic album closer ‘Ourobourus’ which marries infec6ous chant to breathless Lalo Schifrin-style breakbeat ac6on. And which also means ul6mately, like the 6tular oldest allegorical symbol in alchemy, we’re right back where we started.
As Brad Dourif’s character Hazel Moates intones in the 1979 movie Wiseblood, “Where you come from is gone; where you thought you were going weren’t never there. And where you are ain’t no good unless you can get away from it”; in Goat’s eternal now of renewal and revela6on, there’s never been a more potent means of escape.

Field Music LimitsofLanguage
STREET DATE: 11 October 2024
On October 11th, Field Music will release Limits of Language, their first album of new music for almost four years. Back in 2022, the touring cycle for the Flat White Moon album ended with a sense of finality. For the first time since the Mercury-nominated Plumb ten years earlier, Peter and David had no plan for what, if anything, would come next. However, after six years of continuation, they were clear that if Field Music was to carry on then it would have to be different, in both sound and scope.
Solo projects followed with 2023 seeing the arrival of David’s quietlyjazzy Soft Struggles, the playful of electronica of Peter’s Blowdry Colossus alongside a limited-issue brass collaboration LP Binding Time and the vault-raiding John Monroe EP, made with original Field Music keyboard player Andrew Moore.
It was these albums that provided fresh impetus for what was to become the new Field Music record. Whilst Peter amassed the instrumental compositions which become Blowdry Colossus, he was also tinkering with a batch of songs which would form the basis of Limits of Language, songs which mixed synthesised textures with off-the-cuff flickers of guitar and layers of disorientating found-sound percussion.
These fleshed-out demos included The Waitress of St Louis’, an ode to the now-closed Sunderland café ’Louis’, which featured on the cover of their 2007 album Tones of Town, and to the Maggiore family who ran this cherished institution.
David’s songs came from a different angle but leant into the same sonic palette and shared the same sense of a past becoming granulated. Album opener, Six Weeks, Nine Wells pits the hazy ecstasies of school summer holidays against the fear and foreboding of a child peeking through into an adult world.
Available in Indie Exclusive Red Vinyl, Standard Black and CD, Limits of Language sees Field Music continue with their astonishing, bloody-minded run of releases. A run which equates to an impressive twenty-one “Field Music Productions” in nineteen years as a band.

AnniversaryEdition
STREET DATE: 11 October 2024
20 years of The Go! Team’s Thunder Lightning Strike, 20 years of lasers through tracing paper, orange tone oscillations, cable access hangover, music made through sunburnt circuits, a K-tel dream sequence, a haunted vision mixer, station wagon-core, straight to video, VHS in distress, something in the fog, fluff on the needle, chromakey constellations, a hovercraft on the fret board, maxing the minute maid, faxing a car alarm, a Morse code pep talk, etch-a-sketch jackknife, a daily Haley’s comet, light sound colour motion, a holiday from yourself…
The LP is pressed on translucent red vinyl and is packaged with a recreation of the original CD-R version of the album that stands up as a document of band leader Ian Parton’s unique method of working. This final reissue is a celebration of a record that sounded out of time in 2004, dripping in future nostalgia, and which twenty years on still sounds as unique and uncategorisable as it did when it arrived.

The Dears No Cities Left
"There isn't a tune on "No Cities Left", the Dears' gorgeous second album, that's not pitched at a minor state of emergency." - SPIN
"The Dears, a six-piece orchestral rock treat from Montreal, Canada, led by the enigmatic Murray Lightburn and sounding like Marvin Gaye fronting The Smiths while the London Philharmonic Orchestra has a stab at the Burt Bacharach songbook, are probably the best new band in the world right now." - NME
DEBAUCHED – Witchery and Devilry Vol
II (2nd Spell)
A whirling, twirling, panorama of satanic sleaze! The Return…. The 2nd Coming…the long-awaited next dose, and highly anticipated Vol II, is finally unleashed and ready to melt minds and devour souls.
During the height of the turned-on 1960s and 70s Occult explosion even the under the counter adult men’s magazines got in on the act and began a surreal exploration of the haunting netherworld of Witchcraft and Satanism.
This monumental art book reveals a world of diabolical smut that was so compelling and obscure that many people today would actually question whether or not the magazines were real or just an elaborate and detailed modern photo editing invention.
A few salacious titles and images on the internet sparked imaginations, and strongly inspired bands in the doom/black//heavy metal genre, eventually these alluring images found their way to record covers and T-shirts, but mostly remaining shadowy, mysterious, and elusive. Magazines so impossible to hunt down that their very existence seemed an urban myth.
Well, they are real, and they are spectacular! These magazines are in fact, out there in the world. They are collecting dust in attics, basements, and garages. Hidden away from sight. Unsavory treasures deemed too filthy and then forgotten by their lustful owners. This massive 288 pages deluxe hardcover book is a glimpse into a vast and shocking world that remains virtually unknown and unexplored.
These artifacts come from a bygone era promoting sexual revolution and freedom with overt and unholy occult themes. If you have any issues with hardcore witchcraft and Satanism, body hair or nudity, don’t pick this book up and quickly get it out of your sight, and forget everything we've mentioned. Just remember life's too short to take everything so seriously. Flesh is beautiful!
It’s time to once again descend into the infernal witches’ cauldron and deep down into the hellish pit for a real Black Mass.
Includes a thorough review and collector’s guide of each rare publication as well as illuminating essays on the subject. Entirely new visions of vintage devilish smut to shatter your senses and ignite pagan lust worldwide.
“The thing that's always set toe apart from its technically minded peers is its ability to tell short, concise stories — ecstatic, noodly, complex pop songs that unfold in less than five minutes.”
-NPR
Formed in 1998, toe is a Japanese music group long revered in post-rock circles, while their song structures and dynamics have taken on elements from all styles of music, ranging from math-rock, jazz, pop, and R&B.
The vast majority of the music is instrumental and features the swift, agile drumming of drummer Kashikura Takashi. The band is also known for melodic, clean guitar, often employing the juxtaposition of electric and acoustic. While the compositions feature the repetition of typical rock motifs, the subtle changes in beat and rhythm form a unique rhythmic dialect. The band has consistently expanded their sound throughout their musical tenure by incorporating singing, rhodes piano, mallet percussion, and electronic production elements.
Harry Beckett — The Modern Sound of Harry Beckett
Release Date:11th October 2024
First time vinyl edition of the 2008 album by the much-missed Harry Beckett, a Barbados-born trumpet player who became a key figure in the UK and European jazz scene.
“Beckett'sgeniusisthatheisalwaystruetohimself,whoever he performs with. His effervescent, tumbling, improvised melodies never fail to lift the spirits.The Modern Sound Of HarryBeckettisamagnificentsonictreat.” The Guardian.
“Sherwood's production style strikes a perfect balance here between sonic creativity and respectful restraint, and Beckett himself is brilliant, creating horn lines that weave and insinuate themselves through the grooves rather than riding on top of them. Established On-U Sound fans will find this to be an enjoyable curiosity; Harry Beckett fans may find it revelatory.” All Music

ABRACADABRA, like a quest for the absolute, like a desire to believe in something.
For all the knots you have to untie to free yourself and reveal who you really are, fearless and shameless. A formula you wish could fix everything, instantly resolving all problems. A word you repeat while staring out of the window. Maybe if you keep saying it long enough, it’ll open a door inside of you? Abracadabra, a ridiculous yet beautiful word that would save you from having to make the effort to help your neighbour or to help yourself. Abracadabra, a word that makes me want to untangle it and to which I’d like to assign a new meaning. Abracadabra, like this magic pill prescribed by my doctor to sleep, like my phone that stops me from overthinking when my mind is going to pieces, like the alcohol that comforts me and gives me back this joy that escapes me too often. And in this quest for the absolute and for meaning, in this endless pursuit of fun, there is the desire to create something I’m unfamiliar with but that resembles me somehow. Music that pierces my soul as fiercely as my emotions, like I’m standing on the edge of a cliff and constantly about to fall, creating the urge to write. And every which way and probably forever, I’ll try to capture this intangible, unspeakable thing, this fleeting feeling that sometimes makes me want to be silly and say it: here we go, abracadabra.
Klô Pelgag’s songs aren’t just a display of language in the literary sense (with lyrics that read like poetry) but the music generates landscape and emotion on its own, even without needing to understand the French lyrics. - Exclaim!

The album made the long list of the Polaris Music Prize in 2017, and was nominated at the JUNO Awards the following year.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs is a place that exists geographically, but it’s also a place that exists in my mind. When I was a child, we’d pass by the sign announcing the village while travelling from SainteAnne-des-Monts to Rivière-Ouelle in Quebec. Every time I saw it, I averted my eyes and shivered in horror. That name terrified me. I imagined a dying village with sad houses, empty streets and creaky chairs still rocking with the memory of deserters.
And now, after many years of overwork, I found myself exactly in that place. In the middle of all my anxieties, not knowing anymore who I was, taking hits and hating myself more than anyone else. A thick fog settled in my head, with black, opaque skies. I now lived on this island that I built or imagined on my own.
Then in August 2019, while I was starting to get my bearings back, I decided to visit Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs, the village. The initial thing I discovered was quite meaningful: it’s actually an island. I took the ferry and arrived in an idyllic place. A village with dirt roads and no more than 35 inhabitants, whose souls haven’t been perverted or spoiled by mankind. A village with no grocery store or gas station. A superb place. With trees and flowers, a lighthouse, colourful wooden houses, and fish whose flesh was so pure it went beyond my definition of the colour “pink.”
Slowly, I went through the village I imagined as a child, and I hope to never go back there. Now, I’ll go to the real Notre-Dame-desSept-Douleurs, where I’ll eat fish that smells like the river and whose colour bemuses me.

The Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs album was released last June and has been receiving critical and popular praise ever since. The album was reviewed by the influent journalist Anthony Fantano, a first for a Francophone album. In France, Télérama gave it its highest rating — four keys (the equivalent of five stars)—while Longueur d’ondes compared her to Kate Bush. In Canada, Exclaim! awarded the album four stars, and in Quebec, critics were unanimous: five stars from Journal de Montréal “The LP of 2020 is here,” 9/10 from Le Canal Auditif “a relevant, daring creation,” and four stars from La Presse, “a rich album.” The album also appeared in several year-end lists of the best albums of 2020 such as: Le Devoir, La Presse, Le Journal de Montréal, Le Journal de Québec, Le Soleil, CBC Music, Le Canal Auditif, among others.

About “L’étoile thoracique”
Carrying an entire universe of baroque, absurd songs, the damsel charms and unsettles us with her gorgeously crafted music driven by an instinctive desire to challenge her own purpose. “What I write is always full of contrasting elements, because I enjoy baffling myself. When everything fits together too neatly, it can quickly become tire some.” This resulted in the 13 tracks of L’Étoile thoracique, a freewhee ling fresco that has the artist weaving a sprawling concerto.

HAWKSMOOR Oneironautics
Hawksmoor’s new album ‘Oneironautics’ on Soul Jazz Records follows on from last year’s critically acclaimed ‘Telepathic Heights’, as well as a re-release of his album ‘Saturnalia’ on the Library of the Occult label earlier this year.
James McKeown, AKA Hawksmoor, continues his fascination with the sounds and sensibilities of 70s/80s German electronic groups – think early CLUSTER, HARMONIA, CAN, NEU!, HANSJOACHIM ROEDELIUS and MICHAEL ROTHER.
On this new album ‘Oneironautics’, he successfully combines these pulsating ripples of Germanic electronica with a number of decidedly English references: the soaring, hypnotic and pastoral qualities of BRIAN ENO, circa ‘Another Green World’; the long, sustained lines of ROBERT FRIPP’S FRIPPERTONICS; and the poetic feel of early DURUTTI COLUMN.
McKeown combines all of these elements while also remaining with one foot firmly in the British melodic hauntological modular synth aesthetic of hauntology – Ghost Box, Mount Vernon Arts Lab, Focus Group et al.
Once again using strictly modular synths, electronic drum rhythms, and guitars, Hawksmoor has created an electronic landscaped music world that is both new and old, immediately identifiable and yet utterly unique.
REVIEWS for Hawksmoor’s Telepathic Heights (Soul Jazz Records)
“This incredible new release follows a path along the electronic skyways first created by the German / Krautrock electronic pioneers of the 1970s such as Cluster, Ash Ra Tempel, Roedelius and Michael Rother.” Rough Trade
“Stepping up the profile ladder to join Soul Jazz as one of the label’s exclusive cluster of nonarchival signings – alongside Trees Speak and Brown Spirits – is Bristol-based James McKeown’s Hawksmoor project.” Concrete Islands
“Telepathic Heights is his first album to be released by London's Soul Jazz Records, and both its packaging and content are reminiscent of the label’s essential Deutsche Elektronische Musik compilation series. McKeown evokes Krautrock and kosmische music from the 1970s, zoning in on the hypnotic qualities of his Moog Sub 37 and analog drum machines.” All Music

JUDAH TAFARI
GREAT ESCAPE b/w BEZOS VS. MUSK
While far from a household name in reggae, Judah Eskender Tafari cultivated a loyal fanbase and respectable catalog during his recording career. The Studio One single “Rastafari Tell You” sits at the top of a small set of deep cuts he recorded for Coxson Doddʼs famed studio starting in 1978. These have continued to find a place at roots reggae soundsystem and DJ rub-a-dub parties after nearly five decades. The earnest lyrics and spiritual mission of these early recordings would define Judahʼs entire career, extending through the decades to “Great Escape,” a new Daptone 45 produced by Daptone label stalwart Victor Axelrod. The song alludes to the Old Testament in a vision of mankind gone astray, trying to escape the confines of the Earth for salvation. Axelrod picked the title for the dub because at the time he was finishing the mixes, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were in a much-discussed space consistent with the sentiment in the song, or as Axelrod puts it simply, “they're all terrible ideas presented as being progressive.”
Leon Dinero returns with "One Way Love", another magical rendition from the James Hunter catalog. Produced by Victor Axelrod, Leon Dinero helps transform the uptempo R&B classic into a rocksteady moover whose relaxed groove and soulful vocal give the track an authenticity that may have folks scratching their head as to which version came first. A testament to the incomparable songwriting savvy of Mr. Hunter, "One Way Love" is a track that defies the constraints of genre labeling with unfettered elegance and lyrical prowess.

Street date: 10/11/2024
The Shovel Dance is the most powerful release to date from nine-piece folk group Shovel Dance Collective, bringing studio fidelity and trickery to the rich arrangements and soaring vocals of their concerts. Their new album revolves around the group’s interplay and close listening, no matter how many members of the band play on a given song or how many instruments feature (there are twenty-five instruments and eight voices). With production by Mike O’Malley (caroline) and mastering by Matt Colton (Thurston Moore, Laura Marling), they give their arrangements an experimental edge—as close to Scott Walker or Swans as Shirley Collins or Bert Lloyd—that situates them on the bleeding edge of folk music, with unique beauty, force, and political charge.

OFFICE DOG
DOGGE r L a ND
Office Dog is a rock band from New Zealand / Aotearoa. Doggerland is a collection of songs about loss and the journey to surfacing again. which is why it’s named after a piece of land that was once inhabited by people and then submerged by the sea. Sonically, the band wanted to take a moment to experiment before beginning to work on their upcoming sophomore album. With Doggerland, Office Dog leaves behind the more straightforward rock sound of their debut, Spiel, and bridges a gap between the soon to be released follow up.

A MULTI-TIERED MARKETING CAMPAIGN SPOTLIGHTING THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE’S UNPRECEDENTED IMPACT ON THE GENRE WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT 2024
Ray’s landmark Modern Sounds albums expanded country music from a niche-genre to a mainstream phenomenon. Crying Time and Country And Western Meets Rhythm And Blues are companion pieces that more overtly blend country—the genre he transformed—and soul— the genre he invented. Their hits, “Let’s Go Get Stoned,” “Crying Time,” and “Together Again,” are just an indication of the variety (and quality) throughout these two outstanding examples of Ray’s all-encompassing genius.
Tangerine is proud to reissue these landmark albums on vinyl for the first time since their original release.

Karla Faye 4. I Drink 5. Evangeline
“Mary’s songwriting speaks to the tender aspects of our humanness. We need her voice in times like these now ore than ever.” – Brandi Carlile
“Coming of age as a gay kid in the deep south in the 80’s, I found acceptance among those who, like me, were outsiders - artists, gays, the rebels, hippies, bikers, punks, misfits that took me in after my family tossed me out. They became my patchwork family of choice.
Turns out, there is an outsider in everyone, an observer who sometimes feels excluded, different. If everyone feels that way, then the truth of the matter is that this is where we are not different, it is where we are, of all things, the same. One human family, one giant mass of people looking for where we belong. Ain’t that something? Drag Queens in Limousines, indeed.” – Mary Gauthier
25 years ago, this record sprang on the scene — a record holding a voice impossible to draw comparison to, and lyrics and stories alien to anything that resonated from The Opry’s stage beforehand. Mary was the first openly queer person to play The Opry, and for us at KRS, this record encapsulates things new, exciting, bold, while being an absolute standout to what the realm of Americana has to offer. This is an authentic American experience, cliches weren’t needed. Mary is a legend. This record will always feel new, exciting, and bold. We love her and we love this record, and we love drag queens in limousines.

BLOODSHOT CELEBRATES THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF NO-HIT WONDER WITH THIS BARREL SELECT EDITION
Barrel Select exists to highlight the best of Bloodshot’s cask-strength catalog and there’s no doubt that the NoHit Wonder sits proudly on the top shelf.
“Your favorite songwriter’s favorite songwriter” according to The Chicago Tribune, Cory Branan, with songs covered by Frank Turner and Dashboard Confessional and a circle of friends and collaborators that includes Jason Isbell and the Hold Steady’s Craig Finn (who also grace this album’s credits as guest vocalists).
When it came out in 2014, all the people whose taste are worth a damn were raving about it, with Rolling Stone putting it on their list of that year’s best country albums. With ten more years of aging, it’s only gotten better. It hasn’t mellowed, but it makes more sense now that the country mainstream has started to catch up to the level of outlaw cowpunk soul Cory was packing.
Our Branan-approved, Barrel Select edition stamps the sound onto Bloodshot Red vinyl and includes a full-size reproduction of the album’s 2014 promo poster with full lyrics and a new note from Cory on its backside.
Drink it in. It packs a punch.
Featuring appearances from Jason Isbell, Caitlin Rose, Craig Finn, and Tim Easton

“Cory Branan is your favorite songwriter’s favorite songwriter” —Chicago Tribune
“He radiates talent” —Vice
“If you’re gazing slunk shouldered at your Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson records as so loved that you’re tired of listening to them, The No-Hit Wonder may just be the project to point your nose toward next . . . This is old school country rock at its finest” —Saving Country Music

RAISE A GLASS TO THE LATEST ENTRY IN BLOODSHOT’S BARREL SELECT SERIES
Barrel Select exists to highlight the best of Bloodshot’s cask-strength catalog. Robbie Fulks has made some of the finest records we can claim as our own, but if there’s only room for one on that sacred shelf at the top, it’s Gone Away Backward.
“At a time when modern country feels like bloated spandexand-Aquanetted pop-metal, Fulks defiantly embraces an unflinching traditionalism.” Paste’s words, not ours, but we’re not gonna argue the point they made when Gone Away Backward hit their doorstep 11 years back. They also called this “a tour du force of bluegrass-derived spare country,” which we’ll also let stand. Magnet said it was “the best album Fulks has ever made, period,” and out of respect for the wonderful work Robbie has done in the past decade, we’ll simply point out that this too is an 11-year-old review.
With Steve Albini at the board, Robbie was able to break his songs down to their core and fire his characters, his chops, his band, and his amazing voice directly at listener’s souls. “We recorded it pretty fast, in a couple of days. People are always bragging that they did it without overdubs, but that’s the way we did it.” The results are everything we ever wanted from Robbie and a high-water mark of folk or bluegrass or alt-country or whatever genre bucket you want to pour his gifts into.
Recorded by Steve Albini
10th Anniversary Barrel Select edition on Bloodshot Red vinyl “Stunning” —Saving Country Music
“a work of great, accomplished craft . . . vivid and moving” —Ken Tucker, NPR
“The level of artistry is so complete that it suggests a world in which Fulks isn’t a household name is somehow upside down.”

Brand new collection of Studio One killer tunes, focussing on the late 70s, 80s and beyond.
Since the early 1960s Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd had established Studio One as the unparalleled leader in reggae music in the world. In the years that followed he established the careers of countless reggae legends – Bob Marley & The Wailers, Marcia Griffiths, The Skatalites, Horace Andy, Dennis Brown, Burning Spear and many more.
From its inception Studio One had been at the forefront of every major development in reggae music – ska, rocksteady, roots, DJ, dub and, starting in the second half of the 1970s, dancehall.
Having attained such great success, by the late 1970s Clement Dodd was free to enjoy Studio One’s now firmly established supremacy in reggae music. He released a series of stunning new albums at the end of the decade by Sugar Minott, Johnny Osbourne, Freddie McGregor and others that rode the wave of dancehall and set the path of Studio One’s output for the following 25 years.
During this period, long-established artists such as Alton Ellis, Jackie Mittoo and others returned to the label, recording some of their most creatively satisfying albums with new music that both celebrated the classic sound of Studio One while continuing to experiment, push boundaries and look forward to the future.
This release celebrates this sometimes overlooked golden era at Studio One in the 1970s,1980s and beyond.

Inside Out is the fourth release in Candid’s ongoing program to restore, recharge, and reissue the original albums by the Chick Corea Elektric Band.
Inside Out elektrified fans, musicians, and critics alike, cracking Billboard’s Top Ten Contemporary Jazz chart, earning a Grammy® nomination for Best Jazz Fusion Performance, and moving AllMusic to declare this album as The Elektric Band “at its peak.”
Released in the midst of the CD explosion, Inside Out’s sole appearance on vinyl was a Swiss pressing, that sacrificed sound quality and resequenced the tracks in order to fit the album’s 47-minutes of music on a single LP. Now, Candid is proud to present the definitive reissue of Inside Out, restored to its original sequence and cut across 2 LPs by Bernie Grundman for maximum sonic detail and dynamic range. The packaging has also been expanded to include text and photos missing from the Swiss LP plus new liner notes featuring contributions from the surviving members of the group.

When the world — and his previous band Star Tropics — crumbled in the early days of the pandemic, Chicago's Loren Vanderbilt began rebuilding himself through song. Daydreaming to the chime of IRS-era R.E.M., Felt, The Railway Children, New Order, and 90's staples like Ride, Pale Saints and Slowdive, he fell backwards in time through records as a means of escape. To break away from the present and embrace the nostalgia of musical eras gone by, Loren formed Humdrum — a band built around his favorite elements of dream-pop, indiepop, shoegaze, and new wave.
On his debut album, Every Heaven, Loren establishes himself as a talented songwriter and master of melody across 10 tracks brimming with jangly guitars and lovelorn vocals—all punctuated by the pulse of a driving beat. A deeper listen reveals a juxtaposition between the album's carefree melodies, and its sobering truths about the life, loss, and the questions of being a queer 30-something artist. With "Every Heaven" Humdrum has presented 10 songs that speak to life's dynamic moments. And they can't wait for you to hear them.
Black Pus is the guttural, raw, freeform project of singular drummer, vocalist, & artist Brian Chippendale. A heavy drum foundation and distorted electronics anchor Black Pus’ sound, and remain directly connected to the intensity of Chippendale’s legendary duo with Brian Gibson, Lightning Bolt. Recorded at Machines with Magnets by engineer Seth Manchester, Terrestrial Seethings is pure energy, pure Black Pus, capturing the precision, frenzy, and ecstatic performance in all its glory. After more than a decade playing and improvising, Chippendale’s imagination and curiosity continue to push his world of twisted joy in expressive new directions.
While known primarily for his iconic style of drumming with Lightning Bolt, Chippendale has also worked alongside artists such as Björk, The Flaming Lips, Boredoms, Andrew W.K., and Lee “Scratch” Perry. Outside of music related endeavors, Chippendale has made a name for himself as a renowned painter and painterly silk screen artist. Known for his frenetic color work, for Terrestrial Seethings Brian created striking black drawings that, like its title, pervert assumptions. Chippendale’s approach to crafting music as Black Pus mirrors his restless and indomitable spirit as a creator. His daily practice of making music and art on his own is both as meditative and cathartic, as it is inquisitive and spontaneous.
“This art is a river of energy that I jump into and ride along with,” says Chippendale “It’s not really music made to tell written stories. It’s energy music first and foremost.” The pieces that shape Terrestrial Seethings brim with his preternatural ability to unearth new ideas and explore them with abandon while maintaining a sense of cohesion and a kind of alien musicality.
Black Pus is the solo project of Brian Chippendale from the pivotal Noise Rock band, Lightning Bolt.
Chippendale has collaborated with the likes of Björk, The Flaming Lips, Boredoms, Andrew W.K. and Lee “Scratch” Perry.
Chippendale is also a renowned painter and silk screen artist.
He is a founder of the legendary Providence, RI warehouse/venue/arts space, Fort Thunder.
Terrestrial Seethings was recorded by Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets.
Terrestrial Seethings features drawings by Chippendale, and is available in CD and LP formats, with a limited number of Silver Bullet LPs available. All versions include a digital download card.

Bogdan Raczynski
You’re OnlyYoung Once ButYou Can Be Stupid Forever
Released: 18th October 2024
The new album by Rephlex alumni Bogdan Raczynski is a collection of warmly melodic electronic sketches, with tracks alternately drifting beatless on the breeze or underpinned by lo-fi drums, sometimes barely held together with a delicate construction of odd synth patches and ping-pong percussion.Each piece is short and to the point, a record of perfect miniatures.Whilst this description may sound utopian, the album is conceived around themes of late stage capitalist brutality, hyper consumerism, online doom and alogorhithmic apocalypse.Beauty in the face of planetary collapse and 24/7livestreamedgenocide.
Rumoured to have been discovered by Aphex Twin sleeping on a park bench inTokyo, Raczynski first appeared on the scene in 1999 with 3 albums in that year alone.He went on to explore hallucinatory, bassbin-rattling IDM, outsider junglism and traditional Polish folk music amongst other paths, collaborated with Björk, produced a soundtrack for a PlayStation game, and remixed the likes of . In 2019, Disciples began looking after his Rephlex era catalogue, compilation of unreleased gold from the vaults, and reissuing his Planet Mu in2022.

“A huge thing for this record was to make it feel as close to our live show as possible,” says Tom Sharkett of W.H. Lung’s latest album. “We didn’t want it to sound live but we wanted to capture the excitement of the live performances.”
This is something that has become paramount to the group in recent years as they have undeniably blossomed into one of the most joyous and arresting live bands in the country. “The reason I’m in a band is to play live music,” says singer Joe Evans. “For me, music is live music. That’s what it’s for, to be played with people.”
The five-piece band, also featuring Chris Mulligan, Hannah Peace, and Alex Mercer-Main, decided to try something new on their third album after two incredibly successful collaborations with previous producer Matt Peel. In order to capture the energy, spirit and dynamism of their live shows, they relocated to Sheffield to work with Ross Orton (MIA, Arctic Monkeys, Working Men’s Club) who was able to harness this side of the band to remarkable effect. “Ross is the Sheffield Steve Albini,” says Evans. “He’s the king of not overthinking it and trusting the process of the art of recording songs. He was always there to stop us fucking around with cerebral stuff and get it down.” Sharkett echoes this too: “He was the exact producer we needed without us even realising. His productions and mixes are bombastic, lively and in your face and that’s exactly what we wanted.”
However, while this album is rooted in a sense of capturing a moment and a sparky liveness, that’s not to say it’s a raw or ragged record. It is still a meticulously composed, delicately layered and pristinely produced piece of work that, in true W.H. Lung style, runs the gauntlet from dance to pop to indie while still capturing that distinctly unique quality that is unquestionably their own. “It was a really big thing for me to realise what made us sound like us on this record,” says Sharkett. “I think the album sounds a lot more confident and self assured because of it. Some songs sound just so much like Lung and I’m really proud of that. I’m not sure we’ve done that as consistently across the other records.”
While the band have drilled deeper into finding their own singular identity, it’s not a record resting on its laurels. It’s a significant leap forward, expanding on their solid foundations while also breaking new ground. “The big difference with this record is its directness in every sense,” says Sharkett. “The songwriting is more upfront. Previously we’d focused a lot on vibe and production as opposed to just writing songs. The overall mission here was to revert to a classic songwriting structure and for the production to come afterwards.” And so what you have on this record are deeply considered and well-crafted songs, then recorded with blistering intensity in the moment, and then given a touch of experimentation afterwards. Then throw in Orton’s contributions to the band and it’s proven to be a real winning formula. “He brought a real dose of magic to the songs we’d written,” says Sharkett. “And brought an extra bit of wonk and quirkiness each time.” The band’s ability to write more traditional and conventional songs is clearly a skill they’ve taken to with ease, at times there’s an almost Springsteen-like quality –but if he'd ever had an ecstasy period – to tracks such as ‘Thinner Wine’ and ‘Bloom and Fade’. While ‘How to Walk’ was constructed with one thing only in mind: that it would absolutely slay on stage. “I can’t wait to play this live,” says Evans. “We wanted a song to represent our live set, a new big one, and this is it.” Once again it leans towards the anthemic, with its driving, propulsive charge complete with incandescent synths and vocal melodies so irresistible you can already hear them being sung in unison by a crowd. It’s an incredibly difficult feat to pull off a record that is more rooted in traditional songcraft while also capturing the power of a live performance, as well as pushing sonics into experimental new directions while working with a brand new collaborator. But here the band has managed to do just that. And the album’s closing song ‘I Will Set Fire To The House’ is a perfect example of such a thing. It’s a song that feels immaculately constructed but also very much alive and of the moment as its radiating synths engulf from the off, and Evans’ vocal is silky but powerful and in perfect symbiosis with Peace’s. It’s a song that captures the endless joys of music playing long into the night. “It may be a bit of a bloody bombastic way to end an album saying ‘and we’ll dance into the sunrise’,” says Evans. “But fuck it.”

Svaneborg Kardyb Superkilen

CD edition, in printed sleeve, packed in a resealable protective bag
Superkilen the new album from Danish duo Svaneborg Kardyb, Nikolaj Svaneborg (keyboards) and Jonas Kardyb (drums), is named after a public park in the ethnically diverse Nørrebro district of Copenhagen. This erstwhile strip of waste ground was repurposed by the Superflex art group in the early 2010’s to bring together immigrants and locals in a mood of tolerance and unity. Its title feels emblematic of their music, which, equally inventively, creates space and serenity as a tonic within the tense and cluttered environment of 2020’s living. In the same way that the regeneration project has transformed that neighbourhood, Svaneborg Kardyb have drawn on that positive energy to help instigate changes in their own music.
“‘Superkilen’ means ‘super wedge’ in Danish,” says Nikolaj, who has a studio right next to the park, “but it’s a very expressive word, with the connotation of a breakthrough, like taking a piece of wood and cracking it open.” Jonas completes the picture “It’s like something that insists on being there, something from the outside that comes in, and it will just move forward and you can't really do anything about it – we had to allow that on this record.”
So, Superkilen and the ideas surrounding it became integral to the psychogeography behind Svaneborg Kardyb’s latest album, as they brought more intrepid synths and emphatic beats to the sublimely nuanced textures of piano and drums familiar from their earlier work. The listener is dragged along each time on an aural adventure which involves plenty of the soothing sonic vocabulary which has won them fans world-wide, but which is also unguessable, and whose narrative may turn on a dime, on the subtle introduction of a single new chord, or imperceptible rhythmic shift. Intricate, absorbing and distinctly more-ish, ‘Superkilen’ feels like it will live up to its name and prompt a dramatic climb in SK’s career trajectory.
Like all Danes, they’re proud of their country’s progressive principles, says Nikolaj, “being attentive to welfare, and having a system that has your back no matter what happens. We pay a lot of taxes, and we get a lot back. It’s a state of mind in the people.”
“But then you also need to go outside of Denmark,” says Jonas, smiling, “you have to go to New York and get your ass kicked, then you can go back with that energy as well, and use it creatively. We felt that we needed to do something new, to shake things up a bit – be more brave, maybe more angry”
On Superkilen the duo also draw on their recent touring experiences after the breakthrough of their Gondwana Records debut Over Tage and NPR Tiny Desk session. They’ve seen all-standing festival tents erupt into dancing during more driven passages in their set, as well as glimpsing darker aspects of life beyond their home country, and those experiences have inevitably influenced the music they made on their return home, for their fourth LP. You hear it in the toppling, out-of-control beats and eventual resolve of ‘Vakler + Balancen’, the insanely burbling synth pattern which propels the title track, and the synth interference which ultimately engulfs the closing Arendal – a vision of an industrial eco-catastrophe, maybe, destroying the initial idyll. Yet, for all that, so much of the delicate beauty in SK’s music remains. The beatific ‘Udsigten’ (or, ‘View’) reflects, in its title, the jaw-dropping outlook over the sea from the floor-toceiling panoramic windows at the studio they worked in, Karmacrew Recording, on the island of Møn, off Denmark’s South-East coast.

• NEW DUO FROM JOSÉ MEDELES (1939 ENSEMBLE / THE BREEDERS) AND NATHAN TRUEB (TANGO ALPHA TANGO)
• PRODUCED BY STEVE BERLIN (LOS LOBOS)
• CONTRIBUTIONS FROM NELS CLINE (WILCO) & BEN HARPER
José Medeles and Nathan Trueb’s Another Glory may be a new project, but the duo bring decades of experience to their first album as a unit. Medeles, who has played drums with The Breeders, Ben Harper, Modest Mouse, and more, handles the group’s percussion, and Trueb, who plays with Tango Alpha Tango, sings and plays guitar. The debut, Another Glory, is a stripped down affair, a conversation between two musical virtuosos with the help of guest contributors like Nels Cline, Harper, and producer Steve Berlin. It’s a nimble, efficient crew, but this description does little to animate just how dynamic, breathtaking, and original this collection of songs truly is. The collaboration began as organically as possible, with these two Portland-based musicians linking up for a jam session after Medeles recorded him playing along to Trueb’s solo music. The chemistry was electric, and the duo decided to see where their collective imagination could take them. The result is Another Glory, a deeply realized meditation on the history of folk music, but one that looks in numerous directions to illuminate each musician’s one-of-a-kind style.
Trueb and Medeles work so well together because they approach music in different ways. “Nathan doesn't really come from the avant-garde world, but when he does, it's brilliant because he's such a prolific player,” José explains. “I'm glad that I can pull that out of him.” Nathan, for his part, functions as guardrails for Medeles, who self-admittedly can get carried away in pursuing every crevice and nuance he encounters. “Songs with verse-chorus structures are good, too,” Trueb adds with a chuckle.
And that’s what Another Glory is: an image of two celebrated musicians uniting to make something reflective of their identities but indebted to a greater, amorphous, indescribable whole. The duo’s first album is a celebration of friendship, artistic drive, and impeccable craft. Another Glory is a tribute to music itself. “I hope people can hear the love that we have for not only our instruments, but for music in general,” Medeles concludes.

Desert Liminal is a team –– tight-knit, cooperative, and bound by a sterling trust in music’s ability to shine a light into the darkest depths. The Chicago band’s primary songwriter and vocalist Sarah Jane Quillin may be the heart of the project, but as such, she is a heart that beats for her bandmates Mallory Linehan and Rob Logan, and the underground scene that has cradled them all and provided a source of profound psychic exploration and a sense of purpose.
The songs on the group’s third full-length, Black Ocean, primarily reflect on Quillin’s inner life during the chaotic years following the death of a loved one, lost to the spiral of addiction. It was during this time that Quillin cut her teeth playing in the Chicago DIY scene, drumming in Heavy Dreams with her dear friend and mentor Emily Kempf (DEHD). As Quillin explains it, it was music and the adjoining community that bolstered her through the turbulent beginnings of an adulthood “mired in the bureaucracy of navigating the medical system, then death, grief, dissociation, depression and finally with enough time (and DIY shows) healing.” Black Ocean is appropriately stirring, at times reminiscent of early Sinead O’Connor or late Beach House or contemporaries like Tempers. These songs are brimming with deeply-felt melodies and memorable hooks, equal parts haunted and uplifting –– epic, driving pop music coaxed from swirling violin, synthesizers, live and synthetic drums and dazzling vocal harmonies.
Fans of Lower Dens, Alvvays, Slowdive, and Midwife will find much to love in Black Ocean’s hypnagogic but dynamic and memorable style. But Desert Liminal are doing more than carving out a space for themselves alongside their contemporaries. These songs are so personal –– they so vividly live and breathe at this particular intersection of people that is Desert Liminal –– that they simply could not have been sung by anyone else.

CARPARK / OCTOBER 18, 2024
PHOEBE RINGS PHOEBE RINGS
Phoebe Rings is a dream-pop band offering a unique blend of introspective yearning with celestial danceable grooves. Their self-titled debut EP, a hopeful collection of musings, out October 18, 2024 on Carpark Records, is a testament to the distinctive musical style of Auckland jazz-school-trained pianist and songwriter Crystal Choi. Across six tracks, the EP is a love letter to some of the band’s influences: Studio Ghibli films, Zelda and Stardew soundtracks, Bossa Nova, Stereolab, and 90’s Korean ballads.
In 2020, the band played their first gig in a ‘funny side room’ during a festival at Auckland Town Hall. Choi’s songwriting was brought to life with Alex Freer on drums, Simeon KavanaghVincent on guitar and synths, and Benjamin Locke on bass. Choi says she knew the tracks had to be recorded after the band played the songs better than she could ever imagine. And so, remotely through the COVID-19 lockdowns, the band started recording the EP.
“Daisy” is the vibrant leading single, with the shimmery refrain “Ooh-wee-a-waa” and the uplifting mantra: “When you’re next to me, the world’s full of daisies.” The swirling synths fizz on the skin like warm sun, promising growth and new starts. “Cheshire” is an Alice in Wonderland-inspired trip through the rabbit hole, pacing in anticipation. “Like a Cheshire cat, it grins and disappears in moments when you accept yourself,” explains Choi. Locke and Choi finished the lyrics one evening, huddled in the corner of a local underground music venue, with references to Murakami’s book Dance Dance Dance.
Choi grew up in Seoul, developing a palette for K-pop and retro sounds. The city-pop influence of “January Blues” shines through, with Choi crediting one of her favourite songs from the ’80s: “연극이 끝난 후 [After Play]”. The track explores her disconnect with the summer break. “In the Northern Hemisphere, January is winter,” says Choi. “I missed that a lot, and I don’t vibe with the beach.”
“Spissky,” chimes in with Choi’s lilting vocals reminiscent of childhood lullabies, inspired by a lonely-looking castle she saw on tour with Princess Chelsea in Slovakia. While “Ocean” leans into its mumble-core roots, taking a leaf from the Cocteau Twins. There’s an external shift in the EP, with “Lazy Universe” being the most energetic track, evolving with the band’s chaotic sci-fi experimentation. Asking, “Are you still waiting for a kiss?” Choi is self-critical and urgently speaks up from being passive.
The members of Phoebe Rings are cemented in the musical ecosystem, balancing other projects and full-time work. Yet Sundays will always be carved out for Phoebe Rings to dream up imaginative, world-building tunes — often with a Nintendo game soundtrack in the background as inspiration.

Mike Paradinas, veteran producer and Planet Mu label owner has written a new album called ‘Grush' and it's full of weird bangers that reclaim the 'dance' part of the woeful term IDM.
A back-to-first-principles record, inspired in part by the group of artists IDM was coined for; melodic dance music that didn't come out of urban scenes, but interpreted them from a distance.
The tracks on ‘Grush’ are all road-tested live favorites developed with feedback from Mike's touring partner and visuals guy Mora (Jan Moravec). It's a detailed and energetic journey which replicates the flow of a live gig. A lot of the tracks have been made in hotel rooms in response to shows, ‘Imperial Crescent’ is named after a Japanese Hotel, as is ‘Belvedere’ in Prague, while some tracks such as ‘Hyper Daddy’ were created specifically to play live.
Drums are confidently at the fore here and the album feels like it traces Mike's musical history and interests neatly around his sweetly nostalgic melodies, with atmospheres and structures which twist and turn with a charming softness which contrasts with the tension in the drums.
Take ‘Hyper Daddy’s’ spiralling notes and twinkling piano which remind one of early Black Dog or Omni Trio rushing alongside splashy jungle drums, or the aquatic acid footwork of the title track with its drums softly bubbling and kicking. Elsewhere there's territory which harks back to his Tusken Raiders pseudonym, like the heads down Drexciyan funk of ‘Windsor Safari Park,’ which transforms from moody electro into a sunny hardcore track midway. The album is interspersed with Reticulum A, B and C at the start middle and end of the album which suggest a theme which carries across the music in an effortless and joyful way. ‘Grush’ is a strong album that works both for listening and DJing and a great snapshot of where Mike Paradinas musical head is at in 2024.

POSY The Garden
Description
Emerging from the rainy environs of the Pacific Northwest, POSY makes his full length debut on Bastard Jazz with The Garden, a lush, organic soundscape providing all the tranquility and sonic nourishment the title implies. While tapped into the same well of musical depth that contemporary new jazz artists likeAlfa Mist and Shabaka Hutchings draw from, the classically trained POSY approaches things from a different angle, painting detailed miniature portraits that avoid the overt spiritual jazz trappings of many of his contemporaries. “I love what Yuseff Dayes and KIEFER are doing,” POSY states, naming a couple peers who’ve inspired him. But while improvisation and a comfortable familiarity with theory may be at the compositional root of the ten tracks here, it’s always in the service to the concise form of songs that say just enough, and nothing more.
Highlights
● POSY is the recording name of Rudy Klobas, Portland-based producer and multi-instrumentalist with a unique sound that intersects jazz, R&B, and electronic music
● A true DIY and analog enthusiast, POSY plays every instrument but the horns on The Garden and recorded with vintage gear onto reel to reel tape
● Has received extensive Spotify editorial playlist support having been added to Lofi Beats, Soft Office, Office Studio, Fresh Finds Jazz and more
● Worldwide Radio support from stations like KEXP + KCRW (US), JazzFM, Soho Radio, + NTS (UK), 2SER (AU) and more
● Press support includes JAZZIZ, Stereofox, Clash Magazine, Fusicology, and more

Craig Shepard On Foot: Aubervilliers
From September 10th through October 3rd, 2019, Craig Shepard lead groups of two to twelve people on walks between three and twelve hours beginning and ending at the Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers. Shorter walks covered the immediate neighborhood.
Longer walks explored the connections between Aubervilliers and adjoining neighborhoods. At the middle of each walk, the group stopped, stood in a circle and listened to ambient sounds of the site while Shepard made a field recording.
All slight motions, including rustling clothes and little coughs were picked up by the microphones; each participant’s stillness became their performance. The 3CD release includes a field recording from each walk interspersed with melodic pieces for music box and for sruti box.

New Starts are a spikey, fresh sounding band recalling the poppier ends of new wave and angular guitar rock. Lead singer Darren Hayman has his own long career running from the late 90s with John Peel faves Hefner to his more recent albums dealing with the English Civil War, William Morris and forgotten rural idylls. “I wanted a band again,” says Hayman, “and not a band that just backed me up and played my old songs. When we form our first bands in our teens we just find some friends and work through the musical differences. I usually look for players who play in a way I’m used to. This time I looked for variance and was led by people’s personality.” I decided that I would say ‘yes’ to every suggestion from the band, regardless of my instinct.” This made the songs warp and bend into new shapes and ensured that the record was the product of four individuals (Hayman, guitarist Joely Smith, bassist Giles Barrett and drummer Will Connor) Pretty much the only rhythm I use, left to my own devices, is the ‘road runner’ rhythm.
More Break Up Songs is a collection of 12 Break Up songs because Darren broke up with someone. Again. “I suck’, he says, “But it’s never anyone’s fault. It makes me very sad but I do have to work through these things in song and there’s always something to learn. I try to make songs about breakups that could be understood by both parties. I’m not interested in nasty songs.”
“I wanted it to be bright, immediate and young sounding, despite the fact I’m old. We recorded it in four days and I think this might be the record a lot of my audience has wanted me to make for a long time.”
ELLA RAPHAEL MAD SOMETIMES
OUT OCTOBER 18th 2024
Ella Raphael is blessed with an amazing voice, filled with warmth and emotion; it’s engaging, like an old friend telling tales and spinning stories. Mad Sometimes is her debut album, release via Fire Records.
Brought up in London, surrounded by sound, listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Etta James, while encountering Queen, The Beatles and the Stones from her Dad’s collection, Ella’s musical journey continued in Australia where she met many other musicians, and ended up sailing with would-be pirates, singing in the bow of their boat and deciding that music was the path for her. Charmed by the music she has discovered on further travels across the US and Europe, she refined that eclectic mix, adding Love, Serge Gainsbourg, Karen Dalton, Vashti Bunyan, Catherine Riberio And Alpes, the original masters of Tropicalia, exotic 50s guitars and the more esoteric sounds of The Beatles.
Writing outdoors, freedom has always been a virtue to Ella, penning songs that are at once aching and brittle, then elated and celebratory; she has perfected a sound that’s as wide-ranging as her influences and experiences, music that’s as beautiful as its surroundings, using the intricacies and subtle nuances of sound to channel both light and dark into her music.
On her first LP, the sound comes from a stylish mix of lap steel, mandolin, guiro, congas, synthesisers, a shruti box and stringed instruments played by Ella, Eyal Samson, Uzi Ramirez, Ron Ephrati, Guy Mintus and Amir Sadot.

His Name is Alive has had over a hundred releases since their first cassette in 1986. HNIA spent 13 years recording for the legendary label 4AD and sold 100,000+ records, toured the world, received gold and platinum records for soundtracking Tom Cruise’s nervous breakdown in the movie Jerry Maguire and collaborated on two short films with famed animators the Quay Brothers, and name-checked by David Bowie as one of his favourite artists.
Defever continues to live and work in Detroit and is one of the engineers heading up Third Man’s mastering studio.
“Disciples' series of archival His Name Is Alive releases reclaimed the project's early ambient works in a beautiful and carefully considered way, fascinating artifacts as well as a fine example of the ongoing creative dialogue Defever has always had with his music” AllMusic
“A real peek behind the curtain, these recordings stand on their own: beautiful ambient sketches that not only pull from Brian Eno but music from around the world, or that would have been heard on Smithsonian Folkways compilations around that time. Tribal drones, patches of guitar noise, weird loops, it all comes together...pure creation.” NPR
“An astonishing document of lo-fi alchemy.” Pitchfork
“That these decades old recordings sound oddly contemporary with modern electronic minimalists indicates how far ahead of the curve Defever’s always been.” Aquarium Drunkard
