How did you personally get started in the music industry?
By necessity. In the 1970s no established labels were interested in what I was doing. The only way to release the music was to put it out myself. I financed the recording and manufacturing out of pocket—made 1000 copies— dropped them all at New Music Distribution Service uptown—and after about a year I used the royalties from sales to make the next recording.
When and where did the label begin?
Tzadik began in 1995 in NYC.
What is the meaning behind the name for the label?
In the Jewish world, a Tzadik is a righteous person. Someone you can trust to help guide you, and whose main concern is in improving the world. A Tzadik is an important, valued, and respected member of their community—and understands that everything in life has purpose and meaning.
How has the label changed since it started?
Not much—we continue to release music we believe in, and we have had new releases pretty much every month since we began. Tzadik is dedicated to releasing the best in avant-garde and experimental music, presenting a worldwide community of contemporary composer-performers who find it difficult or impossible to release their music through more conventional channels. Tzadik believes - most of all - in the integrity of its artists. What you hear on Tzadik is the artists’ vision undiluted.
Describe the general makeup of your team at the label.
The label team is tight. Four people. I make the artistic decisions. Kazunori Sugiyama handles contracts, bookkeeping and advises on production. Sarah Robertson handles manufacturing with her company A to Z. Heung-Heung Chin does all the design work.
What has been the biggest challenge for you and the label during the Pandemic?
Pledge Music went bankrupt owing us $200,000. But with the help of friends we managed to raise the money through donations and a Limited Edition Vinyl series. The Pandemic did not affect us at all. When the world is in chaos my system actually gets stronger!
Is the label tied to a specific geographical area? How is this reflected in your releases?
We work out of NYC. There is no dedicated office space or phone line. Wherever we meet is our office. Last year Kazunori moved back to Japan but continues to work with us from there as strong as ever.
Is there a genre that you would consider to be the label’s “signature style,” or is it a mix?
Tzadik is not tied to any one style or genre—and releases a very wide range of music.
We believe in music that is honest, imaginative, well crafted, and cathartic. How would you describe your overall ambitions and goals as a label from when you first started compared to now?
Exactly the same. We believe in the integrity and personal vision of our artists, and continue to do what we believe in without compromise. Our mission is to support a passionate and dedicated community of musical adventurers. We do not suffer fools gladly, have little patience for people who do not give our work the respect we feel it deserves, and have no interest in the unstable world of musical fashion.
What’s the wildest marketing promotion you’ve ever worked on for any release?
We do not and have never promoted our work in any way. We make it available. We neither cajole or convince people to buy it. It’s here—it’s great— and when you are ready for it you are most welcome into our world. This is not entertainment. It requires effort, thought, time, and consideration.
How would you describe the average fan of the label?
Open-minded and curious.

“Powell lays down a SOLID GROOVE over horns and wah-wah guitar, and Desmondes sounds almost like an OFF THE WALL-ERA Michael Jackson, with his swoonworthy lyrics and pitch-perfect countertenor melodies.”
— PASSION OF THE WEISS
“Desmondes and Powell have the kind of talent that gets HEADS NODDING, FEET MOVING, EYES WATERING AND HEARTS POUNDING. This is funk that blends LIGHTNESS WITH DEPTH – it’s bound to get stuck spinning in your brain and never stop.”
— OKAYPLAYER
“Lionel Richie” is an UPBEAT FUNK AND SOUL jam laced with pulsating bass-lines, punchy drum grooves, smooth soul strings and airy horns to boot… vocals do take precedence and slowly engulf the head-nodding backdrop with ease with its COMMANDING TONE FORCING US TO GET ON THE DANCEFLOOR with alacrity… subtle, gripping and unassuming at once but most importantly, catchy and melodic to the core. “

CD OUT OCTOBER 6TH, 2023 / LP COMING SOON
The Rise & The Fall is the fth studio album from charged folk-rock trio The Rural Alberta Advantage. It is the rst album featuring the return of original band member, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Amy Cole alongside Paul Banwatt (drums) and Nils Edenlo (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard). The album will be released on digital and CD formats on October 6th, 2023 with the much anticipated limited edition vinyl coming soon.
“All of our music is rooted in a certain amount of heart and honesty. The songs themselves come from a very earnest place and they are really extensions of who we are. Sometimes we hide those emotions with a lot of noise and sonic energy, while other times we leave them raw and bare. I see our albums more as diary entries, or snapshots in time and this one certainly ts that bill,” says Edenlo .
The Rise & The Fall is a culmination of navigating songwriting through forced zoom meetings, trading les of song ideas over email, managing rehearsals in borrowed warehouses that allowed for more personal space, and proving that the specialness of the band and their songs could only be found with them all together in one room and especially on stage. Getting back to live performances across North America one small tour leg at a time in 2022 gave The RAA back the chance to rework, cancel and perfect these new songs and bring them back home into studios around Toronto for recording with Gavin Gardiner (All Day Coconut). For the rst time, the band focused on writing and recording a few songs at a time, taking their tradition of roadtesting new music to a whole new level of real-time collaboration with their fans. Over the past couple of years, some of the new music has been shared in real time in the form of multiple singles (‘CANDU’, ‘Plague Dogs’) and The Rise EP released in 2022. The Rise & The Fall is the rst full length album from The Rural Alberta Advantage since 2017.

Artist: L’Rain
Album: I Killed Your Dog Street Date: October 13, 2023
Genre: Indie
Format: Indie LP, Standard LP, Digital TRACK LISTING
Multi-instrumentalist and composer L’Rain returns with her third album I Killed Your Dog. Described by L’Rain’s Taja Cheek as an “anti-break-up” record, I Killed Your Dog takes the universal pop theme of love as its starting point – bold, bratty and even a touch diabolical – and inspects it through the form of a conversation with her younger self, untangling her relationship with femininity and the formal musical conventions that others have come to expect of her.

“I’m envisioning a world of contradictions, as always,” Cheek explains. “Sensual, maybe even sexy, but terrifying, and strange.” Written amidst heartbreaks from the perspective of an earned maturity, I Killed Your Dog takes the sonic world laid out by L’Rain in 2021’s album Fatigue on a compelling new trajectory. Over-writing themes of grief and identity to consider what it means to hurt those you love the most.
While the specifics may be hidden from view, I Killed Your Dog is an invitation to experience the big emotions of life through L’Rain’s prismatic lens. Pieced together like snippets of found sound, L’Rain is edging towards a practice that resists disciplinary categorization and instead reflects the messiness of the self in all its fullness.

Are you tired of that same old song? Tune into any alt-rock robo-jock frequency on the FM dial and you’ll know what I mean. Somewhere along the way, nostalgia curdled, and it feels like we’re doomed to hear the same boring souls for eternity. But don’t ask California sons Allah-Las—they wouldn’t know a thing about it. “The Stuff,” which opens the band’s fifth LP, Zuma 85, lays it out:
“I don’t listen to the radio/They keep playing that song again/And the deejay’s a computer.”
As the glammy, electronic strut of the song indicates, Zuma 85 signals the start of a new era for Allah-Las, and finds the band reinventing itself in defiance of the algorithmic categorization and robotic sterility. Recorded in the midst of the shift from the Old World to whatever branch of reality we’re on now, it’s a return, too: The album will be released October 13th on their own label, Calico Discos, in partnership with Innovative Leisure, which released early defining statements like Allah-Las (2012) and Worship The Sun (2014).
For the last 15 years, Allah-Las have alchemically melded surf rock washes with folk rock jangle and rock, building up their lauded music podcast, Reverberation Radio, and record label, Calico Discos, in the process. But a lot has changed since Matthew Correia (drums/vocals), Spencer Dunham (bass, guitar, vocals), Miles Michaud (guitar, organ, vocals), and Pedrum Siadatian (guitar, synth, vocals) first bonded over psych rock vinyl in the back room at Amoeba Records in the late aughts. Zuma 85 finds the quartet facing a new world with a wealth of new sounds, drawing from an eclectic mix of progressive rock, prog, kosmische, and Eno-esque art rock, scuzzy Royal Trux riffs, and detouring into tones and textures that call to mind ‘90s and 2000s pop.
The album was born, like so much else these days, out of the downtime of 2020-2022. For most of the band’s existence, Allah-Las adhered to a year to album year/tour year schedule, logging serious hours on the road. When the shutdown of 2020 put everything on hold, it opened up space for each member to focus on their own lives and interests, and time to re-envision what creative processes could look like.
When it came time to reconvene, that sense of looseness proved pivotal. Instead of bringing finished songs to the studio, they entered the picturesque Panoramic House recording in Stinson Beach (a space co-owned by John Baccigaluppi of Tape Op magazine) with sketches, ideas, and riffs. Working with co-producer Jeremy Harris (White Fence, Devendra Banhart, Sam Gendel) they shaped and crafted the new songs in real time over three sessions, which were then mixed in Los Angeles by frequent collaborator Jarvis Taveniere (Woods, Avalanches, Purple Mountains).
It was clear from the get go the bucolic environment—observed through picture windows overlooking Stinson Beach and Bolinas Bay—would be conducive to creating the first statement from Allah-Las 2.0. “We got in real late that first night of the first session,” Michaud says. “It was around midnight. We had a quick intro and Jeremy had a bottle of wine. We had a little and he said, ‘You wanna start recording?’”
They did. And when the group reassembled the following morning to listen back, they found the sparkling and stutter--stepped “Right On Time” mostly done. It was unlike anything the band had ever recorded but felt entirely natural. “Everything just worked,” Michaud says. “That studio just pulls it out of you.”
Despite the habitat where Zuma 85 was crafted, these songs represent the Allah-Las departing familiar beachy territory for off the map expanses, embracing the influence of late-era Lou Reed and John Cale, the ‘70s mutant pop of Peter Ivers and early Eno and Roxy Music, and textures borrowed from Japanese pop and loner-folk obscurities, There are kosmische zones, like the Popol Vuh-evoking “Hadal Zone,” anthemic and electronic boogies like “The Stuff” and “Sky Club,” and arch prog on tunes like “GB BB” and “Smog Cutter.” On the instrumental title track, “Zuma 85,” field recordings and chimes precede Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra)-style guitars, which drift aquatically over a motorik rhythm and hazy synths.
Sharing a name with that song is a photo of an abandoned house by California photographer John Divola. Selected by Correia, the band’s resident photography head and album art designer, it juxtaposes a visage of man-made chaos against the natural beauty of the West Coast. It served as an unspoken reference point for the album, a symbolic totem indicative of a new era. A decade and a half into their run as Allah-Las, Correia, Dunham, Michaud, and Siadatian continue on an evolutionary path. Are you tired of the same old songs? So are they. So blow it up and let it rip.

For Tori Zietsch, who records under the moniker Maple Glider, music has been an escape from a series of oppressive institutions: religion, enervating relationships, her own brain.
At 14, Zietsch freed herself from her restrictive and deeply limited religious upbringing and at 15—after learning to play guitar from a chord book—she played her first show, at a skatepark. After touring the open mic scene in Brisbane, moving to the UK, and returning to Melbourne, she released her critically lauded debut album ‘To Enjoy is the Only Thing’ in 2021, which Rolling Stone described as “one of the most accomplished debut albums in recent years.”
Ultimately, ‘I Get Into Trouble’ is the sound of alchemized pain. In each song, Zietsch transmutes tribulation and confusion into clarity and deep insight. She embraces the opportunity to be plainly and painfully honest. The album is a thematic expansion of her debut, going into greater and clearer detail, as she delves back into her Christian childhood while deconstructing her relationship to her body and her sexuality, alongside concepts of consent and shame. Throughout the songs, she draws similar parallels between religion and sexuality in novelistic detail, before landing on a note of hopeful optimism, and embracing a new life of peacefulness. She deftly combines the infectious folk-pop hooks of her debut with a sense of scape and scope. It’s tight in all the right places, free-form, wiley and compositionally eclectic, playful, and erratic in others.

The message MIKE conveys on the album is confident and resolute, acknowledging the reputation he's built as a trailblazing force in today's rap landscape after passing the barrier from child prodigy to realised artist. MIKE has previously collaborated with the likes of Earl Sweatshirt, The Alchemist, Wiki, Sideshow, Black Noi$e, and Niontay.

1998 : Tortoise’s third studio album TNT is released. In and out of print over the past decade we are happy to finally give everyone what they have been asking for - TNT on vinyl again! Pressed on high quality virgin vinyl, the two LPs are packaged in a deluxe old-style tip- on gatefold jacket fully replicating the original artwork and includes a download coupon for the first time!
Tortoise’s third full-length release, TNT, was written and recorded during a 10-month interval in 1997. This longer-than-usual writing/production schedule was purposefully undertaken by the group in the hopes of crafting an expansive, diverse, yet thematically coherent offering. TNT builds upon the spare, instrumental framework of the group’s first, self-titled album, and the extended edits, melodic adventures, and klangfarben of the subsequent full-length release, Millions Now Living Will Never Die. Further to this, Tortoise’s interest in the possibilities offered by the remixing of tracks was realized within the actual production of TNT; individual elements, sections, or sometimes whole compositions mutate within the album’s shifting framework. These techniques were suitably realized thanks in part to the use of non-linear digital recording and editing methods, the first example of such work for the group.

Limited Edition 2023 reissue of TNT now available in a Clear with Black and Blue 2xLP, this record continues to sell out in all 2xLP formats.
TNT is the third full length studio album released by Tortoise in 1998.
Tortoise is comprised of multi-instrumentalists Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Doug McCombs, John McEntire and Jeff Parker
TNT was recorded, edited, and mixed by John McEntire, mastered by Roger Seibel and features performances from Caitlin Horsmon, Popahna Brandes, Rob Mazurek, Julie Liu, and Sara P. Smith
“TNT took the ideas of “Djed” further into the creative possibilities of nonlinear editing. It was recorded to hard disk via Pro Tools, a relatively new idea on the music scene when they started working on the album in late 1996 (Stereolab’s Dots and Loops, engineered by McEntire around the same time, was another early entry for the technology). TNT is a record where copy, cut, paste, and undo reign supreme. Individual parts were worked up in rehearsals, recorded in various combinations, and later reconfigured into new pieces of music by McEntire and the band.” - Pitchfork 9.0
The Beths occupy a warm, energetic sonic space between joyful hooks, sun-soaked harmonies, and acerbic lyrics. Their debut album Future Me Hates Me delivers an astonishment of roadtrip-ready pleasures, each song hitting your ears with an exhilarating endorphin rush like the first time you heard Slanted and Enchanted or “Cannonball.”
Front and center on these ten infectious tracks is lead singer and primary songwriter Elizabeth Stokes. Stokes has previously worked in other genres within Auckland’s rich and varied music scene, recently playing in a folk outfit, but it was in exploring the angst-ridden sounds of her youth that she found her place. “Fronting this kind of band was a new experience for me,” says Stokes. “I never thought I had the right voice for it.”
From the irresistible title track to future singles “Happy Unhappy” and “You Wouldn’t Like Me,” Stokes commands a vocal range that spans from the brash confidence of Joan Jett to the disarming vulnerability of Jenny Lewis. Further honeying Future Me Hates Me’s dark lyrics that explore complex topics like being newly alone and the self-defeating anticipation of impending regret, ecstatic vocal harmonies bubble up like in the greatest pop and R+B of the ‘60s, while inverting the trope of the “sad dude singer accompanied by a homogenous girl-sound.”
All four members of The Beths studied jazz at university, resulting in a toolkit of deft instrumental chops and tricked-out arrangements that operate on a level rarely found in guitar-pop. Beths guitarist and studio guru Jonathan Pearce (whose other acts as producer include recent Captured Tracks signing Wax Chattels) brings it all home with an approach that’s equal parts seasoned perfectionist and D.I.Y.
“There’s a lot of sad sincerity in the lyrics,” she continues, “that relies on the music having a light heart and sense of humor to keep it from being too earnest.” Channeling their stew of personal-canon heroes while drawing inspiration from contemporaries like Alvvays and Courtney Barnett, The Beths serve up deeply emotional lyrics packaged within heavenly sounds that delight in probing the limits of the pop form. “That’s another New Zealand thing,” Stokes concludes with a laugh. “We’re putting our hearts on our sleeves -- and then apologizing for it.” The result is nothing less than one of the standout records of 2018.

Johnny Mathis is known the world over as The Voice of Romance, but the legendary vocalist deserves another title, as well: The Voice of Christmas. Mathis’ very first holiday album, 1958’s Merry Christmas, sold over five million copies and remains one of the biggest-selling Christmas albums of all time. Now, Mathis is back with his first album since 2017 and his first yuletide set in a decade. Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records are proud to premiere the new Christmas Time Is Here on vinyl. This exquisite album celebrates the season as only Johnny Mathis can, with elegant, beautiful (and, yes, romantic) renditions of some of the greatest Christmas carols and classics of all time. Produced by longtime Mathis collaborators Fred Mollin and Jay Landers, Christmas Time Is Here finds the singer revisiting many of his favorite seasonal songs and adding two–the bluesy “Merry Christmas, Baby” and heartfelt “Auld Lang Syne”–to his already-considerable repertoire. He’s joined by Broadway and Hollywood star Kristin Chenoweth for a rollicking “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” and brings intimacy to a burnished “White Christmas” and a new take on his chart-topping “When a Child Is Born.” Christmas Time Is Here is filled with Mathis’ warm holiday wishes for his longtime fans such as the poignant “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You.” And his innate sincerity shines on the Charlie Brown Christmas favorite that lends the album its title, “Christmas Time Is Here.” With the arrival of a new Johnny Mathis holiday record, Christmas time really is here again; this album promises to become a cherished part of your family’s own Yuletide music tradition. But better hurry if you want a keepsake…Christmas tree green vinyl pressing limited to 1000 copies!

Something Weird has exhumed a crypt full of classic Spook Show promos and radio spots monstrously mashed together with fiendish rare surf and garage rock instrumentals. Includes a delightfully deranged DVD featuring Monsters Crash the Pajama Party and more bone-chilling freakouts of fright!
In 2001 SWV compiled what was to become one of their most popular and beloved DVDs, Monsters Crash the Pajama Party Spook Show Spectacular. It featured over three hours of rare Ghost Show shorts and trailers, radio spot audio, galleries of memorabilia, and commentaries with legendary living Ghostmasters. The folks at SWV were huge Spook Show fans and collected anything related to the subject including original 35mm film trailers as well as radio spots on promotional 45s and magnetic tape. So this was a dream project for them, and something near and dear to their bloody hearts.
Since its release, audio bits from the DVD have popped up on radio stations and music compilations. People love them. So it just seemed logical that Something Weird do a Spook Show album. And like our old pal, Jim "The Mad Doctor" Ridenour, we've always believed that horror and rock 'n roll go hand in hand, so what better way than to combine some rarely heard, fiendish surf and garage rock instrumentals with the trailer & radio spot audio and incidental music from the DVD? Now all groovy ghouls and goblins can time travel and have a Spook Show A Go-Go Party! (Just add your own ghosts and gorilla suits ...)

It is hard to know how many times the mythology and mystery of Goat ’s backstory can be written about, but new release ‘Medicine’ does away with any need to dwell on the past, returning with a more introspective, slightly mellower psych -folk sound that remains recognisably them. There is a consistently restrained, warm feel across the whole work, and the band suggest that the overall theme of the album is about “the impermanence of life in different ways: sickness, relationships, love, death and how our time is finite ”. At times the album’ s sound has nods to classic Swedish 70spsych/prog/folk acts such asArbete & Fritid, Charlie & Esdor and Träd, Gräs & Stenar. ‘Vakna’ takes on this influence, progressing across nearly six minutes of swaying, warping guitar solos, without ever breaking out into chaos. The ‘Medicine’ of the title may refer to a number of salves, or the value of relationships and love: “For our families, friends, society, this could be done through the use of psychedelics, through meditation, through learning from other people, staying curious and never settling for a ‘solid’ identity ”. Flute is foregrounded throughout, threading across several tracks from the opener ‘Impermanence And Death ’. It duets elegantly with keening synth lines through the beautiful ‘You’ll Be Alright’, and leads the melody of the closing track ‘Tripping In The Graveyard’. ‘TSOD’, with its backdrop of sitar and acoustic guitar, has an indelible vocal melody that could be a lost George Harrison recording. The title of the full album version of first single, ‘I Became The Unemployment Office’, comes from an expression for someone taking advantage of you. The joyous, echo -laden groove of penultimate track ‘Join The Resistance’ bursts into life and continues to build toa moment of release with a huge Sabbath -esque riff. Whatever your dosage, and regardless of your remedy, it is now time to take your medicine.
