PALACE MUSIC

In a time where digital is the lingua franca, imagine a fan a delirious and somewhat delusional devotee of All That Is. Nothing less than absolute possession will satisfy this person.

Viva Last Blues. “Hope”. Days In the Wake There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You

These are the names people think of when the Palace name arises. Well, fuck that. Thirty-one years ago this past February, Palace Brothers released a lone 7", “Ohio River Boat Song.” It was a beginning, and what’s more, it led us to present and then re-present Lost Blues and Other Songs, which compiles that diamond and 8 other singles, more or less the complexity and diversity of which represented a long strange trip for a lot of people. Adding several previously unreleased choice studio cuts and a live track from 1994 makes Lost Blues and Other Songs ever so much more so of a special buy so special, in fact, that 27 years since its original issue, its physical manifestation in vinyl form is landed on Earth with Us once again.

While it is true that this record does not include every A– and B-side, as was stated back in 1997, this is a conscious sequence for the purpose of LP flow, and to maintain the special value of those original sides. Maybe you know this already because you streamed the album and something didn’t seem right. But you listened, and relistened, oh, so many times to these songs.

And whether you liked it or not, they changed our life(s).

A note on the dedication: when the record came out, someone asserted that they were sure that “ P.G.” referred to Pussy Galore, which of course it didn’t. It referred to Paul Greenlaw, who played banjo and did the cover art for the “Ohio River Boat Song” 7" and for There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You. He was (is?) unique in his approach to, well, everything, and it was desired at the time to not give him too much to obsess over, especially with potential botherings from other people. Now it should be known!

NC MUSIC LOVE ARMY • WE ARE NOT FOR SALE

THE NC MUSIC LOVE ARMY (NCMLA) emerged in the Summer of 2013 sparked by the Moral Monday movement led by the North Carolina NAACP, forming a powerful coalition of NC-based musicians united in their stand against regressive politics in their state.

Co-founded by C AITLIN CARY and JON LINDSAY , the collective quickly grew to include more than 50 members determined to fight by means of original songs by and for the people of NC, spotlighting the moral bankruptcy of new policies from the state’s Republican supermajority. Over four years, the NCMLA issued 14 releases, becoming a soundtrack for social justice and championing the causes and candidates fighting for an inclusive body politic.

Their debut full-length album, We Are Not For Sale, captured the energy and spirit of this movement that stands the test of time. The record is primarily delivered through the lens of roots rock and folk, with songs featuring a litany of passionate vocalists trading fiery verses while tackling issues like women’s health, voter suppression, and tax policy. The songs presented here are deceptively simple in their efficacy; while weighted heavily in message, they remain catchy and musically interesting, a compelling listen from beginning to end. The album became a battle cry for NC’s Democratic party, with its anthems leading the charge in the fight to successfully quash Governor Pat McCrory’s bid for a second term in 2016. We offer it up again in 2024 as a call to arms for progressive change for a new Blue Wave of listeners and singers-along.

Recorded mostly in Raleigh, NC, with GREG ELKINS , the album was produced by Jon Lindsay and mixed by CHRIS STAMEY . The record features contributions and performances from a diverse array of artists, some who now enjoy wide acclaim.

CAN’T STEAL MY FIRE: THE SONGS OF DAVID OLNEY

VARIOUS ARTISTS

New West Records is proud to release Can’t Steal My Fire: The Songs of David Olney to be released July 26, 2024. This album features new versions of David Olney songs recorded by Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Willis Alan Ramsey, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Mary Gauthier, Jim Lauderdale, and Buddy Miller among others. The tracklist is also highlighted by a never-before released live recording by Townes Van Zandt

Originally from Rhode Island, Olney moved to Nashville in the early 70s and fell in with a group of songwriters including Townes Van Zandt, John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, and Rodney Crowell. With his rock band David Olney and the X-Rays he toured tirelessly. He went on to release a string of brilliant albums and his songs were recorded by Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Del McCoury, Linda Ronstadt, and many others. But the bright lights of stardom never shone on David, and he died the way he lived: onstage in a club, far from home, singing a song.

This album gathers some of David’s friends and colleagues to pay tribute to his unique vision. Many of these artists are legends in their own right; all are here because of their deep admiration and respect for the man and his Songs.

“David Olney tells marvelous stories, with characters who cling to the hope of enduring love, all the while crossing the deep divide into that long, dark night of the soul.” – Emmylou Harris

“Mr. Olney never had a hit single or won a Grammy Award, but in folk-rock and Americana his fellow songwriters, including his musical hero, Townes Van Zandt.”

– The New York Times

“Anytime anyone asks me who my favorite music writers are, I say Mozart, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Bob Dylan and Dave Olney. Dave Olney is one of the best songwriters I’ve ever heard.” – Townes Van Zandt

BARDO POND

‘Melt Away’ & ‘Set and Setting’

“I’minsidethebong.”-TonyConrad

Matador is pleased to confirm further reissues with legendary Philadelphia ensemble Bardo Pond. Following the long-since sold out repress of ‘Amanita’ in 2021, Bardo Pond will release a remastered edition of their classic 1999 LP ‘Set and Setting’ on purple vinyl, featuring the eleven-minute opener “Walking Stick Man” and the single “This Time (So Fucked).”

Accompanying ‘Set and Setting’ is the new double LP compilation ‘Melt Away,’ cataloging late-90s rarities and outtakes from a creative apex in the band’s career, released together on vinyl for the first time. Album highlight “The Trail,” originally recorded for the ‘What’s Up Matador’ compilation, dissolves six minutes into a moment. Blink once and you’ll miss it. Blink twice and the wallpaper might start to move.

Timothy Leary said “never take psychedelics without proper set and setting.” Available on October 25th, these two additions to the mighty Bardo Pond oeuvre would not be a bad place to start.

LADIES, WOMEN & GIRLS

Bratmobileʼs sophomore LP finds Allison Wolfeʼs singsong delivery of her trademark barbed-wire lyrics center stage - each line catching the ear and cutting with truth. Backed by Molly Neumanʼs heart attack drumming and Erin Smithʼs shark-in-the-surf riffs the band returns pulling no punches. This is essential feminist punk.

“...the album retains the attitude and wit of the group's earlier work... bracing.”

– Washington Post

GIRLS GET BUSY

POTTYMOUTH

Equal parts sass, snark and surf-punk infused guitar, Bratmobileʼs third album bursts with catchy hooks and thought-provoking critiques of their scene, consumerism and the patriarchy. It's clear what Bratmobile was busy doing in '02: creating the most brutally honest anthems brimmed with the defiant punk attitude the original grrrl gang is known for.

“With their six strings and half-dozen drums, guitarist Erin Smith and drummer Molly Neuman sketch a 30-year tour through rock history in just over 30 minutes.” – Metro Times

With its “personal is political” lyrics read straight from our collective diary, Bratmobileʼs full-length debut delivers 28 minutes of fury, fun and D.I.Y. punk, making Pottymouth one of riot grrrlʼs most defining albums.

At the start of 2024 BADBADNOTGOOD were brimming with new creative energy. Having just come off a run of one-off international tour dates and a series of sessions for projects with artists Daniel Cesar, Charlotte Day Wilson, reggie, Baby Rose, and Turnstile, the Canadian-trio of Al Sow, Chester Hansen and Leland Whitty were eager to get back into the studio to simply create. The trio called on some of their closest friends and collaborators, BADBADNOTGOOD touring member Felix Fox-Pappas (keys) and a few key-players in the Toronto jazz scene including Kaelin Murphy (trumpet), Juan Carlos Medrano (percussion) and LA musician Tyler Lott (guitar), for an intensive and productive one-week of recording at Valentine Studios in Los Angeles in February 2024. The result of those sessions is the Mid Spiral series, originally released as 3 parts – Chaos, Order and Growth –digitally earlier this year and now collected altogether on a double LP and CD.

• 2025 tour dates incl. festival plays at Primavera, Bonnaroo, Hopscotch, Corona Capital & more CD:

The Mid Spiral suites see BADBADNOTGOOD return to their roots of instrumental jazz while once again pushing the boundaries of how they cross pollinate genres, incorporating their love of hip-hop, neo-soul, psychedelic, funk and more. For the sessions, the trio incorporated additional musicians to add more voices of instrumentation, resulting in a deeply collaborative and expansive new sound. As the trio sifted through the weeks’ worth of material, it was clear that three distinct moods emerged, a deeper reflection of where the musicians are within their own personal lives, along with the state of the wider world: Chaos, Order and Growth.

Since first appearing on Jai Paul & A.K. Paul’s label and collective Paul Institute in 2017, Ruthven has carefully mastered the soulful, infectious, R&B influenced sound he has masterfully displayed over six expansive singles. Drawing from both imaginative and autobiographical experiences, he presents his debut album, ‘Rough & Ready’. Led by ‘Thru The Walls’, the conversational love song which calls back to the sensual classics of Prince and D’Angelo, perfectly exemplifies Ruthven’s incredible musicianship and playful yet sincere lyricism.

PRESS

The singer-songwriter and keyboardist Ruthven’s songs are an antidote for lazy, laid-back pop music -Pitchfork

Paul Institute, the record label/collective of influential electronic wizards Jai and A.K. Paul, has released a string of thoroughly enjoyable singles from different underground artists. Perhaps the most consistent of the bunch has been Ruthven, the London-based ex-firefighter who creates Prince-like jams with the contours and sleekness of sports cars.

The first project in this exciting new series, Red Hot & Ra - Nuclear War LP, is an album of political and social commentary, stemming from the incomparable Sun Ra track “Nuclear War”. Sun Ra's 1982 track "Nuclear War" is an intense and potent call to action against the use of nuclear weapons and the potential for their use to inflict global destruction. The track is a stark reminder of the consequences of human carelessness and ignorance and the potential for our own demise. Originally written in response to the Three Miles Island incident in Pennsylvania in 1979, close to where The Arkestra was living at the time, in Philadelphia. The song may have been written in reaction to a very specific incident, but its relevance only grows.

Red Hot + Ra: Nuclear War LP features 4 separate versions / interpolations of the Sun Ra single "Nuclear War” by Georgia Anne Muldrow, Irreversible Entanglements, Angel Bat Dawid, and Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O. The album paints a vivid picture of the struggle and resistance in the face of nuclear war, touching on themes of racial injustice, environmental destruction, and the power of love in the face of disaster. The opening track, Nuke’s Blues by Georgia Anne Muldrow, features Josef Leimberg and paints a bleak, but hopeful picture of the struggles of war. Irreversible Entanglements’ Nuclear War is a nearly 19-minute long sonic exploration of the power of collective resistance. The following three tracks, all produced by Angel Bat Dawid, explore the complex emotions that come with facing a nuclear disaster, from fear and sadness to love and redemption. The final track, produced by Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O, features Grandmaster CAP, and is an urgent call to action. Overall, Red Hot & Ra –Nuclear War is an emotionally powerful and thought-provoking album, offering an artistic response to the evergrowing threat of nuclear war.

Long live Sun Ra!

‘Ayo Ke Disco’ (meaning ‘Let’s go to the disco’ in Indonesian) celebrates the musical identities emerging from the newly independent countries in South-East Asia during the 1970s and 80s.

Soundway general manager Alice Whittington, aka Norsicaa (DJ), selects 10 deep cuts from local labels, officially reissued on vinyl for the first time – forming a snapshot of the vibrant discotheques and live scenes across Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

The artists featured here were known for exploring traditional sounds alongside funk, disco, city-pop and even political psych-rock, genres that were indicative of the exciting but often turbulent period. But despite the post-war backdrop of instability there came unprecedented levels of economic prosperity. With a hopeful buzz filling the air, the music scene was helping lead the way in reshaping the new identities of the region.

AFAR (FIRE RECORDS)

OUT OCTOBER 25th 2024

From the band who invented Alt-Country, ‘Viva Lone Justice’ is the first album to be released by Lone Justice in nearly 40 years. Featuring original band members Maria McKee, Ryan Hedgecock, Marvin Etzioni and Don Heffington.

In 1983, Lone Justice started playing the clubs in Los Angeles. Word spread like wildfire. By 1984, Lone Justice was on Geffen records, and by 1985, the self-titled debut album emerged. The LA Times gave it "Album of the Year". They played shows with U2, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Willie Nelson. By 1986, Lone Justice broke up. McKee, Hedgecock, Etzioni and Heffington would begin their solo careers….

Now, through the advent of technology, sweat and tears, a new Lone Justice album has been completed, featuring the original debut album band Maria McKee, Ryan Hedgecock, Marvin Etzioni and the late Don Heffington. Special guests include string arranger Tammy Rogers, multi-horn player David Ralicke, Greg Leisz on steel guitar and Benmont Tench on piano.

The opening track, ‘You Possess Me’, puts McKee up front and center, backed only by a string and mandolin quartet. ‘Rattlesnake Mama’ was once a thrashing electric staple in their 1983 live set - this version, however, is all acoustic with Hedgecock on rhythm auto-harp, and features Tammy Rogers on fiddle. Later, they screech through a blistering cover of ‘Teenage Kicks’ (the 1978 single by The Undertones).

It is no wonder Los Angeles was lit up by the live performances of Lone Justice. The energy continues with palpable excitement… Let word of mouth spread news of Lone Justice like wildfire once again. Let ‘Viva Lone Justice’ touch your heart and burn your barn down, too.

Young Marble Giants' "Colossal Youth" has mystified and beguiled audiences since its 1980 release. Seen by primary songwriter Stuart Moxham as "a last gasp" at making a record, Stuart insisted the one-off 7" deal offered by Rough Trade be altered to allow an entire album . . . that paid off when with a big seller which produces cover versions even from bands whose members were a decade or two away from being born on the album's release. When YMG disbanded, Stuart was at a loss; he'd never envisioned a follow-up. A series of experimental recordings made with pal Phil Legg (Essential Logic) and supported by other YMG members, musicians from This Heat and Swell Maps, old Cardiffian pals, and new friends like Vivien Goldman resulted in an album, "Embrace The Herd", as The Gist. Released just before Rough Trade made bold moves toward pop charts with Scritti Politti, The Smiths and others, the album was odd for its time, but has since taken on the lustre of genius. Years of silence followed, thereafter intermittently broken by the odd release from small labels. Stuart delved into family life, though he never stopped writing and recording. In more recent years, two retrospective compilation of lost recordings by The Gist have been released, as well as a superb collaboration with French arranger Louis Philippe, "The Devil Laughs". "Fabstract" is the final gathering of Stuart's lost recordings. Compiling long-lost YMG-era tracks with the recent brilliance of "Crow, Crow" and "Suburban Monochrome", through bits of whimsy and vastly alternate versions of fan faves, this diverse album shouldn't work . . . but it does, telling a satisfying story of an underrated talent whose mistake was following his muse, not the charts. This album precedes a new recording, years in the making, produced by Dave Trumfio, which promises to be Stuart's most complete - and original - work since "Colossal Youth".

Tracklisting

“Help Desk” “Goldfish”

“Help Desk” Beat Detectives Remix

“Help Desk” Dead Rider Remix

“Help Desk” Dean Spunt Remix

Picking up the pieces of the picked-up pieces, Wand ride on, baby. It’s only three months since they dropped the incredible mass of Vertigo upon the world but WHAT!!! Here is more, plating the pre-release single “Help Desk” alongside “Goldfish,” an additional cog from Vertigo’s assembly, and then, in the name of the ever-expanding viewpoint (and the much required dream-extension app!), adding three remixes for good measure.

“Help Desk” and “Goldfish” are brethren of the eight epochal vibrations that make up Vertigo — boiled down from a tremendous volume of jams, then squeezed through the pinprick called automatic writing. Or ‘riding’ . . . as in, the groove / as far as they can see / past the horizon line / Jupiter space / the infinity room / whatever you choose to call it.

The remixes delve back into the material, integrating another set of concentric thought-spirals into the radiant action. The unique perspectives of Beat Detectives , Dead Rider and Dean Spunt become one with the Wand material, igniting inevitable further expansions.

This EP’s like a handshake promise that’s fulfilled after the action has gone down the thanks you get for staying open and hanging in there. The present you get for being present! But everything has a price in time. This one might be worth more than $26.98! Forty years from now, write back and tell us. Then all will at last become known

The Ballad of Sarah Bellum One World Me and Neil Diamond A Different Lie Judy, Judy Lucia Still Alive Midnight Sun

Coralie Earthbound Misfit Cold Love

Anthony Moore’s post-Slapp Happy output, for years an underrated-to-outright unknown quantity, achieves another dimensional plane with this third archival release from his personal tape library. Home of the Demo triangulates upon the art-pop qualities found in his previously unreleased OUT (1976, officially issued 2020) and the new wave-adjacent Flying Doesn’t Help (1979, reissued 2022), finding

Anthony’s early/mid-80s compositions drifting into the actual mainstream, just moments before it began giving way to the inevitable Next Waves. . London, circa 1978–1984! Zoom in on a small, pleasantly rundown Victorian house in Whitechapel. Just one among many in a working neighborhood, with natives and immigrants alike simply trying to get by — the synagogue and the mosque side by side. Folks who keep themselves to themselves and don’t make much fuss over some wild-eyed fellow making a ruckus in his basement most evenings. Having a hard time picturing it? Well, it actually happened, and Home of the Demo unpacks ten tracks from what we might otherwise call a lost era. Subtitled “from the dawn of bedsit recording” (and further attributed with “on the cusp of the analogue-to-digital shift, ‘78–‘84”), this collection largely represents something nearer to DIY than we’d hear from any of your fancy modern kit! As Anthony remarks in his liner notes, “We are talking about a few hundred quid’s worth of gear balanced precariously on bookshelves and table tops in bedrooms and basements.” And yet, the tracks sound right dreamy. Forty-some years on, we find them marvelously mellowed by time (and latter-day mastering). Anthony was a songwriter and musician whose first decade-plus in the music ‘business’ had brought him outside-in, through experimental/ avant projects into the pop music world he’d loved as a youngster. He was an old hand at getting sounds as well; distinctly “80s” elements that might abrade the ear instead benefit from his tactile deployment of that gear stacked up on tables and bookshelves in the basement. In this manner, he produced well-appointed, ambitiously clever songs for himself and others, such as his friend David Gilmour’s band, who used a couple pieces on Home of the Demo for their 1987 comeback album. Amidst the assiduous work of writing the Next Big One, a relaxed, almost playful mood prevails throughout the pieces assembled here — as one might imagine at home demo sessions where one man plays all the parts. It’s also true for the numbers that feature special guests, such as the ominously monikered “Page The Oracle” on lead guitar (!) — or the singer simply dubbed, “Guest” — no doubt a safe alias for a hot young Bunnyman rising to his commercial peak in those halcyon days! In the years since, Anthony’s managed to continue on in all the far-flung areas of his interest, with modern composition, improvisation and pop songs all playing an important part in his ongoing work. The unique journey of this “earthbound misfit” through the fringes of the late rock and roll era tells us much of value about the era’s secret history — perhaps not so much “secret” as too “extra” for the basic cut of the proceedings at the time. Drag City, a curious fellow-traveler along this slow-setting arc, as well as to the subsequent/current Director’s Cut era, are happy to be responsible for hawking this particular Extra. As ever, let the inconvenient truth loose!

By turns meditative, compulsive and consumptive, Basic Editions distills a 64 voice module through a headful of ideas — somewhat like pouring a cornucopia of possible ambient moods and EZ listening impulses backwards through a funnel, inspiring a deceptively absurd rainbow of soul to spray out the other end.

With this new release, Dean IDs his process as “using sounds, rather than making sounds.” This approach to music-making is a train of thought that’s been rolling out from the far horizon of the past for ages now — but for Dean, whose previous works within and without No Age depended on their making of sounds, it’s a fresh work stance. Given, however, No Age’s traditional sonic manipulations (via loops and treatments), Basic Editions delivers further unexpected hard-rights and lefts in the non-aesthetic aesthetic that has defined Dean’s path over the past two decades. Steering toward wacked digital soundscapes that bounce colorfully across the stereo azimuth, Dean creates a kind of post-ambient neo-exotica that hinges upon a giddy conflation of cosmic and comic.

And to think that it all happened ’cause of a glimpse of an E-mu Mo’Phatt at the local online gearery! Dean was looking for a box to give him a new angle; not knowing anything about this one seemed like the right path through the next phase of his own adventure. This “urban dance synth” was made great use of in hip-hop productions around the turn of the millennium. There’s lots more to know about the machines of that time — choose your own rabbit hole — but the takeaway here is that it generates a finite amount of very circa-2000 sounds and he got it for fifty bucks. Inspired, Dean spent a minute getting its basic capacities in hand, while acquiring a few other boxes with compatible cards (more sounds!). Then he was rolling — doing gigs with his Mo’Phatt and a midi-keyboard while recording more involved collages at home.

In one way of thinking, Basic Editions is the sound of Dean not being influenced by anything — how could he be? The sounds were all preset! There is, however, an instinctiveness to pushing a closed system in a curatorial manner, and it’s here that Dean’s inclinations took the wheel of the proceedings, bending the farmed sounds in and out of color and shape, creating improbable constructions whose gears clash together and revolve with an odd combination of nerviness and chill. It’s all RIYL: Moebius, Nuno Canavarro, General Magic & Pita, Carl Stone, Jon Hassell.

Further refinements are provided with the artwork, which reprocesses generic graphic information sourced from various modules, while the album title tips its cap to a fine rank-and-file clothing line offered at K-Mart.

BEN LEVIN PRESENTS A HOLIDAY BLUES REVUE

Cincinnati-based blues pianist/singer Ben Levin releases his sixth VizzTone album, a Christmas present wrapped in the blues: Ben Levin Presents A Holiday Blues Revue

For years, Levin has been inspired by classic holiday blues recordings from artists like Freddy King, Charles Brown, and Amos Milburn, among others. He recorded his first holiday-themed track in 2019, and has been building towards this album ever since.

This album features many quest artists, and many different styles of blues.

STREET DATE: 10/25/24

As Ben puts it: “I am honored to have been able to feature so many great artists on this album, and they each contributed perfectly to these unique styles and sounds: Lil’ Ed showcases pure Chicago blues inspired by his uncle J.B. Hutto, Sonny Hill channels soul from the chitlin’ circuit, Candice Ivory highlights how to defy genres, blending blues and jazz, and Lil’ Jimmy Reed brings out the deep blues of Baton Rouge.”

“One of the best of a new generation of blues artists, Ben Levin and his merry Blues Revue have crafted an album filled with the holiday spirit, yet sounding so good you’ll be listening to it yearround, making it a true gift that keeps on giving.”

- Mark Thompson (from the liner notes)

Juliet Lawson Boo! The Early Recordings 1971-73

25th October 2024

Singer/Songwriter Juliet Lawson’s album, ‘Boo’, was released on the Sovereign label in the UK in 1972. The album was the confident debut of a young British artist and featured twelve of Lawson’s own compositions.

In the same wave of early 1970s English singer-songwriters such as Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan, Christine McVie and despite being described at the time as ‘Britain’s answer to Joni Mitchell’ ‘Boo’ was to prove her only major label release with limited commercial success.

Over the next 50 years the album’s reputation has slowly grown and is today an expensive and collectible item. ‘Boo’ is presented here in its entirety.

The first pressing of the vinyl edition of the album also come with a bonus 7-inch single featuring two early demo tracks produced by ex-Yardbirds founder Paul Samwell-Smith, who also produced Carly Simon and Cat Stevens.

TITLE: HEATED GARAGE: TOASTY TREASURES FROM THE KAY BANK MASTER TAPE ARCHIVE BOX LOT QUANTITY: 30 LP FILE UNDER: GARAGE PUNK, PSYCHEDELIC LP-BEAT-181 UPC: 090771420411

A past Record Store Day favorite returns with a black vinyl pressing! • Same great Kevin Gray cut and pressed at Citizen Vinyl in NC for optimum delity! • All super rare or originally unissued cuts from the famed Kay Bank Studios in Minneapolis!

Heated Garage is a sonic snapshot of what happened when boundless musical energy and middle American moxie combined to create a cultural phenomenon. The tracks are drawn from a vast archive of Kay Bank master tapes - some are ultra rarities you’d be hard pressed to snatch from the collectors’ market without mortgaging a kidney. Others are alternate versions and outtakes never before released in any form!

“The joke was, some bands didn’t become garage bands because it was too damn cold...you can’t go outside when it’s 25 below zero. So, a lot of people are honing their craft in their basements.” High Spirits guitarist Owen Husney explains.

Knowing more about them is not only unnecessary, it would mar their mystique. They exist forever in a moment of raw rock ‘n’ roll glory that transcends time, a space shared by their Heated Garage brethren.

Looking back on The Pagans’ songs, for example, Kip Sullivan says, “They feel sacred to me.” Recollecting his High Spirits adventures, Owen Husney sighs, “I would go back to those heydays in a minute.” Now he can. And we can all come along.

ROEDELIUS 90

25 TH OKTOBER 2024

4 LPs of unreleased material! Limited edition compiled to celebrate Hans-Joachim Roedelius’ 90th birthday.

Most of the music on 90 comes from the 2-track Revox tapes (1968 – 80). Working with his Echolette tape delay and Farfisa organ—the equipment on which Achim recorded his beloved Selbstportrait records and much of the seminal work with Dieter Moebius and Michael Rother—the Revox tapes document the processes and sounds that continue to inspire generations of music lovers and sonic adventurers.

90 is in no way intended as the exhaustive retrospective of the oeuvre of an important artist. The actual chronology of these pieces, and in some cases who might have collaborated with Achim on them, remain a mystery. But the historical context of this music is undeniably compelling—it doesn’t feel like hyperbole to suggest that these cascading, hypnotic cycles equal the best of contemporaries like Terry Riley, working half a world away on their own minimal masterpieces.

For now, a celebration is sufficient—the portrait of an extraordinary life at 90, narrated in beautiful, intimate, innovative music.

FINK HARD BELIEVER (10YEARANNIVERSARYEDITION)

Release Date: OCT_25_2024

Biography - To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of landmark album HardBeliever-R’COUP’D/Ninja Tune reissue the album with an newly-expanded booklet featuring archival photos & a “making off” extract.

Recorded in just seventeen days at Hollywood’s legendary Sound Factory studios with producer Billy Bush (Garbage, Beck, Foster the People), Hard Believer is shot through with rawness and controlled aggression; an album replete with calm beginnings segueing into powerfully hypnotic loops and climactic finales. It is a masterful collection of songs from an artist at the peak of his creative powers.

15. Cloudship

16. Empress of the Sun

17. Lost in the Palace Gardens 18. Epilogue

With Book 3, The Chronicles of Father Robin reach the final chapter of “The Songs & Tales of Airoea”. This dynamic and soulful journey starts with the upbeat “Magical Chronicle”, a vocal driven track full of lush harmonies and clear references to prog classics such as Gentle Giant, Yezda Urfa and the Canterbury Scene. From the atmospheric “Skyslumber” and the soaring prog ballad that Yes never wrote, “Cloudship”, the album burst into the dynamic psych-rocker “Empress of the Sun”, a song full of energy and contrast eventually sliding into a keyboard lead middle part reminiscent of The Doors at their most adventurous. Finishing the album “Lost in the Palace Gardens” starts off with a beautiful acoustic guitar part brining associations to British folk bands such as Steeleye Span, but also the guitar work of a certain Jimmy Page. The track follows up with vocal parts where Andreas Prestmo and Aleksandra Morozova’s voices perfectly complement each other, making it a perfect culmination of this highly ambitious body of work where Father Robin explores the cloud lands in the Sky.

Featuring members from some of the most revered progressive rock bands from Norway, Wobbler, Jordsjø, Tusmørke and seasoned post-rockers The Samuel Jackson Five, TCOFR is a veritable all-star team. “The Songs & Tales of Airoea”, 30 years in the making, is a cohesive triple concept album with 18 songs set in an alternate archaic world for over a period of three decades. The first album, “Book I”, was released on September 15th, and “Book II” will be out December 08th.

The Chronicles of Father Robin (TCOFR) emerged from the remains of the band Fangorn back in 1993- 94, mainly inspired by the classic bands and albums of the early 1970s progressive music scene, alongside contemporary bands like Änglagård, Anekdoten, White Willow and Landberk.

Opus Dichotomous

This recording consists of music intensely devoted to the exploration of dichotomy as a type of musical interaction, where even a unison can be dichotomous. Dichotomy as an incomplete responsorium, or a bipolar monologue. Here, they present this duo of improvisation. This music is often dense, fearlessly virtuosic, it has a vocation to be rough but can’t help being meticulously articulate at the same time. It can’t be devoid of a mood, of course, but it has no interest in being more than just one thing. The first and the last tracks are different, they transport the listener in and out of a place: the other tracks are that place. “Between the conception and the creation, between the emotion and the response falls the shadow” (T.S. Eliot).

WILLIAM HARRIES GRAHAM

ANNIE’S HOUSE

Akin to bringing a personal journal to life, William Harries Graham threads vivid and vibrant memories and moments into the fabric of his music. Against a mosaic of dusty Americana, energetic rock ‘n’ roll, and eloquent folk, the Texas-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist tells the kind of stories typically reserved for classic dogeared novels and timeless flicks.

Growing up in Austin, William intuitively gravitated to music. Mom worked as a professor, while dad Jon Dee Graham gained renown as a respected independent musician and performer himself. As such, William spent countless hours watching his father either playing or recording. He went from messing around with dad’s guitars to receiving a guitar of his own at twelve-years-old. “That’s when I started taking it really seriously,” he recalls.

Thus far, he’s consistently proven himself on stage, remained prolific in the studio, and built an audience one fan at a time. Now, he welcomes everyone into his world on his fourth full-length offering and debut LP for Strolling Bones Records, Annie’s House.

“Tenalach - The relationship with the land, the sky, the water and the deep connection that allows you to hear the earth sing and be one with nature”

Following on from their many mutual remixes and first collaborative EP “Pleamar” (Wonderwheel Recordings 2020) Chancha Via Circuito y El Búho return with a new EP “Tenalach" which sees the duo enter new territories and soundscapes.

Shika Shika is also a non-proﬁt organisation, developing unique projects where the music, art and culture that inspire us can come together in service of the social and environmental issues we are passionate about.

Chancha Via Circuito & El Búho Tenalach

Bounds follows Craven Faults’ second full-length album Standers. Following loosely in the footsteps of 2020’s Enclosures release, here’s another 37-minute journey through Northern England via a lifetime obsessing at the fringes of popular culture. New details and perspectives. Dusk gathering.

There’s some discussion over where this journey begins. Certainly, less than twenty miles north-west of the city, but possibly much closer. Ironic given we’re searching for a distance marker. A gritstone pillar is the prime candidate - destroyed by lightning almost 200 years ago, and then rebuilt a quarter of a mile away. A curiosity. Many a journey starts here these days, as we take flight and head further north and west. The tarn was drained in 1940 to protect critical infrastructure. We leave the sounds of heavy industry behind us to float weightlessly over the moors.

We pick up pace and hit those levels of repetition engineered to the highest standards in Düsseldorf and Köln, 1971. A gift to the world. At this point the altitude is no longer clear; there’s no sense of scale. We could be a matter of inches from the ground, but the patterns are the same. Eventually we arrive at a hillside with no defined boundaries. The limestone pavement is visible in parts, and snaps us into focus once again.

It’s a little way east for our next stop, very close to where the journey began on Standers. Documents from 1651 suggest an arbitrary drawing of boundaries, the distribution of power and wealth set down in pen and ink and then passed down through generations. We beat a path around the perimeter. The divides still exist although the crab apple tree is long gone. Melodies give way to bent notes and dissonance.

We take a circuitous trip to Hamburg and Rome for filming between February 11 and April 23, 1972. A slower pace. Less structure, but emotive, evolving. The master touch, indeed. One final job before retiring and living off the land for the next 373 years.

PaulWhite PeaceInChaos

Multi-instrumentalist and synth wizard Paul White readies his third album for R&S Records, offering up a cinematic journey on ‘Peace In Chaos’ that captures the current mood with its shadowy electronic prowess.

With an unabashed love of 80s synth music and film scores, the South London based producer presents an album of perhaps his most pop leaning tracks yet, following on from 2018’s ‘Rejuvenate’ and 2014’s ‘Shaker Notes’. Across eleven tracks, White delves into a world of esoteric electronic pop, as waves of melodic synths wash over towering drum patterns and majestic bass, with White adding his own enigmatic vocals to many of the productions.

Paul explains the themes he was looking to capture when producing ‘Peace In Chaos’; “I’ve always heard music in a very visual way. I’d like to put this album out there as film, or game scenes, and it’s a movie or game about trying to find peace in a chaotic world”.

Having previously written & produced for many artists, including Danny Brown, Sudan Archives and Jessy Lanza, White puts himself centre stage on ‘Peace In Chaos’, writing, performing, producing and recording entirely on his own, flexing his prodigious studio skills and keen ear for a powerful and engaging tune. None more exemplified than on this new album.

Motherland is an electrified open letter to our dying planet. A gleaming beacon of urgent light saying, "Breathe. Keep going.Heal.Please."

"IwrotethelyricsfromtheperspectiveofMotherEarth,"says Lia,ofherdebutalbum,"butit'sasmuchanalbumaboutthe climate crisis as it is about motherhood and the maternalizationI'veexperiencedinmylife."

Having released a past solo EP in 2019, Motherland remains Lia's first full-length offering. A longform listen of both heartbreak and help and healing. Seeing debilitation in its manyformsandmakingartamidstthecontinuedstruggle.

Her heavy lyrical content swirls through synth flutters and hard-hitting drums, making for a captivating contrast. Dystopian and dreamy. Ambient layers and atmospheric backdrops with piano ballads, downtempo electronica, and drumandbass.TheinfluencesofJamesBlakeandFrouFrou ooze through these tracks. Think Låpsley, FKA Twigs, Kllo, CarolinePolachek.

With a bachelor's degree in environmental science, with parents as nature lovers, and with a couple of Earth Day posters in her childhood bedroom, the environment has been alife-longfocusforLia.Howfittingthatlisteningtothisalbum feels like watching a garden grow. A field becoming a forest. Removing a sword wrapped in vines in order to help heal the planet. Somber, reflective, strong, empowering. The disappointment in the decline of climate is contrasted with an urgencyandadeterminationandamessageofsincerity."

More than just a strong message, Lia is routing 10% of her artist revenue to rewilding organizations (one for Canadian wildlife and one for the Amazonian rainforest). "I'm trying to create a model for other artists to use their art to benefit causestheycareabout."

“Either/Or was his breakout moment, a perfect album defined by its imperfections, a collection of bleary-eyed laments and narratives about the downtrodden, sung with inimitable gentleness.”

– Erik Adams, AV Club

• INDIE EXCLUSIVE TRANSPARENT RED VINYL LIMITED TO 2000 COPIES

The highly acclaimed Either/Or, the third album from Elliott Smith and his last written and recorded in Portland, OR, broke through to a larger international audience. With richer instrumentation and songs that push past the boundaries of his previous releases, Either/Or presents Smith at his most dichotomous. Through its dozen tracks, the album oscillates between harmony and dissonance, sentiment and cynicism, culminating in a record that is unmistakably and unabashedly “Elliott Smith”. The final chapter of his first period as a solo artist, Either/Or remains a cornerstone of folk/pop melancholia with aftershocks felt to this day.

MIKAELA DAVIS AND SOUTHERN STAR

STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 2024

• REPRESS ON COKE BOTTLE CLEAR VINYL

COLLABORATOR WITH BOB WEIR

ROCK STARS DEBUT

Five years since her debut album Delivery, Mikaela Davis has moved away from her hometown of Rochester, shared the stage with the likes of Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Christian McBride, Bon Iver, Lake Street Dive and Circles Around the Sun and entered a new decade. But it’s the ever-evolving relationships between her closest friends and bandmates that has propelled the Hudson Valley-based artist onto her latest album And Southern Star––a truly collaborative effort that ruminates on the choices we make, and the people we always come back to.

The band, made up of Davis (harp/vocals), Alex Coté (drums), Cian McCarthy (guitars/vocals), Shane McCarthy (bass/vocals) and Kurt Johnson (steel guitar), have been playing together for over a decade and it’s the first time they’ve appeared on a full length record together. Weaving 60s pop-soaked melodies, psychedelia and driving folk rock, And Southern Star picks apart the reflection we used to recognise, while trying to build a new one. It navigates the periphery of past selves, the coexistence of isolation and excitement in a new environment and the tension of growing away from what we thought we wanted, tackling it with a luscious, kaleidoscopic grace. “I finally feel like this album is more me than anything else that’s been released,” Davis says, adding that producing the album along with her four bandmates allowed them to carve out their own ideas, rather than someone else’s. It’s the band’s collective step into adulthood that has informed much of And Southern Star’s thematic landscape.

Punk, Post Punk, Punk Funk & Beyond: The Rise of the Independent Music Industry

1st November 2024

Out of print for 15 years, Soul Jazz Records’ “Do It Yourself” features a host of postpunk, punk, punk funk/dance and electronic experimentation from UK bands in the late 70s and 80s that all arrived in the aftermath of punk. As well as loads of great music, the album also charts the rise of the independent music industry in Britain that similarly thrived during this time.

Featuring classic groups such as The Buzzcocks, A Certain Ratio, The Fire Engines, Glaxo Babies and a host of lesser known, rare and obscure tracks and artists, this new 2024 edition comes as a limited edition special coloured version double vinyl pressing, complete with deluxe gatefold sleeve with two unique inner sleeves.

This fully remastered album comes with extensive sleevenotes and photography as well as interviews with key behind-the-scene players – including studios, cutting rooms, print works – that together bring a fantastic insight into the DIY music and culture of this period and the explosion in the independent music industry after punk.

OVERVIEW

The renaissance of Peter Perrett, whose new album The Cleansing is his third for Domino since going solo, is not only heartwarming and extraordinary given his long-term history of addiction and associated vanishing acts, but a timely reminder of one of most singular songwriters, vocalists and characters that the UK has ever produced.

All necessary proof is contained in ‘Another Girl, Another Planet’, which Allmusic described as, “Arguably, the greatest rock single ever recorded.” It’s at the very least a quintessential new wave anthem, released in 1978 and subsequently covered by R.E.M, The Replacements, Belle & Sebastian, The Lightning Seeds and Blink 182 but originally recorded by The Only Ones , who Perrett spearheaded through three albums of quicksilver rockers and languid ballads before imploding in a mess of drugs and exhaustion in 1981.

Perrett’s first band England’s Glory had been an underrated vehicle for his Bob Dylan, Lou Reed and Syd Barrett fixations before he truly came into his own with The Only Ones, dissecting love, lust and obsession with disarming honesty in his lyrics and press interviews – an uncompromising stance that continues to this day – including the depth of his drug-taking. Post-Only Ones, Perrett took time out to be with his baby sons Jamie and Peter Jr, but soon heroin took over his life. He finally reemerged in 1994 with The One, a short-lived attempt to recreate former glories with a younger crew. 2007’s seemingly improbable Only Ones reunion (at the behest of that year’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival curator Warren Ellis) lasted longer, but no new album was forthcoming.

Against the odds yet again, with Perrett finally addiction-free and a band containing his sons Jamie on guitar and Peter Jr on bass, he started playing under his own name. His first album in almost 20 years was How The West Was Won, released in 2017. “Perrett has pulled off something genuinely remarkable here,” said The Guardian. “If How the West Was Won does turn out to be one last defiant breath, then it’s an astonishing twist to his story.”

The album wasn’t Perrett’s defiant last, as Humanworld followed in 2019. The album, The Guardian noted this time, “isn’t just good by the standards of albums made by people who spent years on hard drugs, or by the standards of late career revivals: it’s simply a very good album indeed.”

The Cleansing, an epic 20-song set, doubles down on this excellence, Perrett’s voice and songwriting miraculously intact five decades after 'Another Girl, Another Planet' launched him skyward.

SELLING POINTS

• Alongside his trusted team of sons Jamie (guitar / production) and Peter Jr (bass) plus members of his live band, Perrett is assisted by a roster of guests including Johnny Marr, Bobby Gillespie and Fontaines DC’s Carlos O’Connell.

• Non-commercial and college radio campaign to impact on album release.

• The gatefold 2xLP includes an 8-page booklet and download card.

TAKE OFF FROM MERCY

Description / Bio:

Contour’s debut album for Mexican Summer, Take Off from Mercy, broadens the South Carolina artist’s already-singular voice, integrating guitar-driven music, Tropicália, the blues and the unvarnished honesty of rap music into a vivid portrayal of a long day’s journey into night.

After exploring noirish, sample-driven R&B on critically-acclaimed releases like Onwards! (2022), Love Suite (2021) and Weight (2021), Contour AKA Khari Lucas now steps out as an incisive lyricist and vital songwriter. Aided by his co-producer Omari Jazz and esteemed collaborators such as Mndsgn and Saul Williams , Contour is a key member of a distinct cohort of young artists weaving the traditions of Black music into modern, avant-garde songcraft. Within his work, genres and disciplines collide. Lucas’s radio show for Dublab, Footprints in the Dark, took stock of the deep discographies of foundational figures like Gilberto Gil and Georgia Anne Muldrow. Meanwhile, Lucas has organized readings with the likes of Harmony Holiday and screened films from Black Audio Film Collective director John Akomfrah, and completed artist residencies with NTS Radio and Brooklyn’s Pioneer Works .

Beyond his prolific solo output, recent collaborations include Black Decelerant , an ambient duo with the aforementioned Omari Jazz who just released their self-titled debut on RVNG Intl. Lucas also collaborates with the operatic baritone singer Davóne Tines as part of a band called THE TRUTH on ROBESO И, a performance released by the venerable Nonesuch Records .

JOHNNY DELAWARE PARA LLEVAR

“This is a very nomadic album,” says Johnny Delaware. “I recorded it in studios at home in Mexico City and on the road in the United States and in hotel rooms all across Latin America.” It makes perfect sense, then, that Delaware would call his new collection Para Llevar, which translates roughly as “to go” or “to take.” Drawn from Delaware’s years of journeying—both physically around the world and internally to ﬁnd himself—the record blends elements of Laurel Canyon and Latin America with dreamy, psychedelic production to forge a mesmerizing cultural swirl that transcends borders and traditions. Delaware produced the record himself in addition to playing nearly all of the instruments, and the result is a deeply personal exploration of human nature through the eyes of an itinerant observer, an intoxicating meditation on the doubt and hope and fear and love and loneliness that bind us all, no matter where we call home.

Born and raised in South Dakota, Delaware spent his 20s drifting around the US before eventually landing in Charleston, SC, where he recorded his 2013 debut, Secret Wave. The record earned glowing reviews, but it was another Charleston project Delaware helped co-found, Susto, that soon took center stage, garnering raves from Rolling Stone and Spin and landing tour dates with the likes of The Lumineers, Band of Horses, and The Head and the Heart. After moving to Mexico City, Delaware relaunched his solo career with 2022’s similarly well-received Energy Of Light.

“...some of the most gorgeous Christmas harmonies you’ll ever hear on an album jammed full of warmth and good cheer. Featuring a mix of fun favourites, lesser-heard gems and three truly fine originals, the trio strikes the perfect blend of smiles and sentiment...” - BOB MERSEREAU

The band’s annual Christmas tour hits the road again this December, bringing classic holiday songs, timeless winter selections, and original Good Lovelies material to the stage. A Good Lovelies holiday show is a guaranteed good time for the whole family.

Sam Blasucci Real Life Thing

“This music is more for the creatures than for the humans” - Songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sam Blasucci.

Having spent the last 10 years tinkering with his songwriting through his extensive catalog with folk/rock group Mapache, as well as his debut solo album ‘Off My Stars’, Sam works alongside co-producer Johnny Payne for his follow up sophomore solo album ‘Real Life Thing’ via Calico Discos. Sam & Johnny take a leap from everything they have done in the past into brand new territory for this collection of songs. Sam connects new dots and bends genres with unheard style and instrumentation on songs like ‘Death’, with words adding to the conversation of gender and sexuality. The occult-dancer lead single ‘Witching Hour’ pulses with feeling through a high energy chorus built around a beautiful and bold middle section of just percussion and vocals. In addition to new pathways, homage is also paid to Sam’s first loves of music through the notable Motown feel of the existential soul tune ‘Flower’, as well as the vintage pop gleam of ‘No Magic’. These songs are two examples of the recurring lyrical themes of life and death on this record. “Something clicked before I wrote these songs that put me in a place of wonder and confusion and bliss that I had never experienced before.” Some of the lyrics found on this record have been previously released in Sam’s debut book of poetry ‘Guidelines For Dying’, which quickly sold out of its first print.

While remaining quite elusive to genre or category, a few of Blasucci’s deepest influences can still be spotted throughout the musical and lyrical shape of his new album. New literary and musical discoveries seem to be constant for Sam, but shades of Leonard Cohen, Prince, and Bjork peak out behind this batch of songs as well as the writings of Ariana Reines, John O’Donohue, and Edgar Allen Poe. Sam notes that the many influences around him became heavier and more vibrant after falling extremely ill for two years between 2020 and 2022. “Gaining back my ability to be active, to travel, to live - it was all very much a rebirth in so many ways. Things emerged sharper and clearer from that period of my life”. Sam is healthy

and moving forward at a seemingly fast pace with this new album and the accompanying conceptual concert film of the same name.

The film - directed by Sam and produced/shot by Bryce Makela - brings these influences and songs into a literal Real Life Thing through their collaborative visions and physical representations of the album. Filmed at the same studio where the album was recorded - Carbonite Sound in Ojai, CA - the film runs like a type of musical play. The album is performed live with stage hands and different set changes to accentuate each mood throughout the record - certainly Sam’s most ambitious project to date.

Sam was born in Los Angeles in November 1994 and currently lives in Ojai, CA. Having had residence in Los Angeles, CA / Coahuila, MX / Orem, UT & New Orleans, LA - it’s safe to assume Sam will be on the move again soon and with more fresh energy to give of himself through his art. Determined to live by creation, Sam is the type of artist that is always creating something, maintaining a sort of inexhaustible hunger to make his music. Expressing himself through sound has now gone beyond joy and into being second nature and Sam’s real first language.

“lovely, sort of jazz inspired take on neo-soul with acoustic guitar solos and an overall groovy vibe” - Austin Town Hall

“think classic American songbook…packed with gentle but sophisticated observations on adult life” - Buzzbands

“soothing and soulful” - New Commute

“…crushed velvet cool. Smooth as smoked glass, “Sha La La” finds Sam slipping into a ‘70s slinkiness. Rhodes and a ripple of bass push this one into a state of AOR bliss.” - Raven Sings the Blues

"Blasucci’s recent solo material works a slightly different thread, influenced both by his move from guitar to piano, and time spent in New Orleans over the pandemic." - Aquarium Drunkard
