new vinyl from frana, hunk, disco boule, one dying wish…

… carbs, horsebastard, retortion terror, netn and the glad husbands have arrived from vollmer industries

hunk – fine china superbone! LP
abrasive, distorted, and energetic sound, a blend of noise rock, math rock, and punk with strong creative energy and thoughtful lyrics.

carbs – promoters ripetizioni sbatte LP
Great release for this Italian band from Turin, CARBS, young and talented, full of technique, creativity, and lots of influences from different genres: HC, punk-rock, post-rock, post-hardcore, with a touch of experimentation, and semi-serious lyrics that hit the mark with a smirk.

horsebastard / retortion terror split 7″
Blast-core mayhem from Liverpool, UK with Corrupt Moral Altar // Confine // Chinsniffer members – in the vein of Excruciating Terror and Discordance Axis.vs. Japanese straight forward, totally bonkers grindcore, but the riffs, the blasts–everything has a signature.

frana – swamped cassette
Noisy post-punk with multiple meanings, multiple feelings

frana – awkwardwards LP
a brilliant full-length debut on vinyl 12”, full hands fishing from Dischord’s finest, abrasive and tight sound, .
Male vocals, sharp guitars distortion, full bodied bass lines and kick-your-ass, rumbling and, still, straight drumming.

disco boule – s/t LP
Pounding instrumental math rock

netn – s/t LP
Six tracks of pure noise-rock fury.

one dying wish – origami LP
beautiful melodies, powerful vocals in Italian language, making it a strong choice for fans of bands like Raein, La Quiete, and Ojne.

the glad husbands – safe places LP
Safe Places features nine slabs of spasmodic rock freak outs, melding a mix of hard rock genres together to create an interesting and dare I say ‘fun’ sound.

shop is live again

amid the old wounds - anticipating you.

a lot of stuff is still all over the place and it might take me one or two days longer than usual to process orders but the shop is live again and every order is well appreciated. I deleted my entire inventory on discogs by mistake and am not sure when I will be able to put in the time to relist 800+ records, but most items should be listed in the shop anyway.

on may 30th I am self-releasing a new amid the old wounds EP titled ‘anticipating you’ across all platforms. it’s not an official time release but I will be throwing copies of the CD version in with every order while supplies last. these are meant to be name-your-price (instructions included with the CD), so please consider giving something back.

here’s a spotify pre-save if that is your thing

thanks

I also provided a demo version of one of the EP songs to this lovely compilation:
even then my lights do not fade
this should also be available across streaming platforms any day now.

be safe LP out now. new vinyl from mt. oriander,

be safe - unwell LP

camp trash, thank you I’m sorry,  skymender, lacing and more…

With deeply personal lyrics that drive a story and a delicate soundtrack that paints each scene, Be Safe carry themselves with the pedigree of a band that has been there and is comfortable with their craft

LP version includes one new bonus track that wasn’t on the cassette and download release earlier. Be Safe accomplish a rare feat in that they actually embody what their band name evokes- a feeling of safety that seems to wrap around you like a warm blanket during the middle of a snowstorm in winter while their music keeps you snug. Features members of Perfect Future. colored vinyl sold out within days, don’t sleep on the black ones.

new in the shop:

mt. oriander – this Is not the way I wanted you to find out 7″
the debut of the long awaited solo project from Empire! Empire! front man, Keith Latinen.

mt. oriander – then the lightness leaves and I become heavy again LP
While the album bears Latinen’s hallmark sounds- chimey guitars, intimate drumming, and confessional vocals, it also lauds a more nuanced approach to songwriting.

CYLS split series #5- camp trash / expert timing / mt. oriander / thank you, I’m sorry 7″
It’s been nearly a decade since the last Count Your Lucky Stars 4-way split (the last one dropped 7/3/15), but it’s hard to let a good thing die.

annabel – youth in youth LP
This LP is everything we hoped from them and more. Take their dream-pop and cut it into 11 bite-size pieces. Add a dash of pep and a tad of reflection, and voila- Annabel’s sophomore LP. Best served with the chill of fall.

tobias vokes – becoming all things CD
twinkly emo with an ariy postrocky guitar sound and soaring vocals as if sung to the cealing in the back of the room. gotta love that.

lovelettertypewriter – pia snow CD
you might already know what to expect from a band getting their name from a mineral song, and you get all that, plus more

arms like roses / sinking split CD
a perfectly lawless use of dynamics  in the rhythm section, emotionally introspective, poetic lyrics that tug at the heartstrings and captivating vocals

go white bronco – population ghost town LP
this nine track debut full length is a mostly bleak, sometimes triumphant existential meditation led by three acoustic guitars, crushing lyrics, and soaring multi-part harmonies

skymender – if and only LP
skymender – if and only CD
Skymender’s sounds invite you into a gauzy dreamworld. Their unique palette draws from post-punk, post-rock, emo, and dream pop to create a bright, lysergic-tinged tapestry.

kissed by an animal / the black black – songs about new york split 7″
Sweet new split 7” in stock from Kissed By An Animal and The Black Black, two high-energy Brooklyn bands who just so happen to share a few members.

lacing – never 12″ EP
this is far and away one of Lacing’s most nuanced and balanced collections of songs, measuring equal parts melody and mystery with guitar heft and haziness.

war honey – sweeter than the average fudge CD
This burgeoning young Brooklyn band is driven by the soaring operatic vocals of Gabrielle Dana that incorporate socially conscious and often surrealist lyricism.

beach church/scudici/high dive and amid the old wounds @ the emo van

a couple weeks ago I was guest at the emo van, we talked mostly about amid the old wounds, how it all started, why I am doing what I am doing, how the name came about, what plans I have for the future and emo in general, plus as a real special treat I recorded two songs as a live session which are being aired exclusively in the episode as well. here’s a landing page on linktree as well as their insta.

amid the old wounds the emo van

furthermore there’s two small additions in the shop from erich fried records:

high dive – not so kind these days cassette
clean twinkly and slighty distorted guitars that remind me of classic 2nd wave emo like boys life, spoken words reminiscent of what old gray would do plus roomy trashy drums.

beach church / scudici – demo split ep cassette
garage-y alternative (post-) rock from scudici reminding me of placebo and dirty but dancy poppy postpunk-indie from beach church

that’s all for this month, thanks to you all for your support
