***Sharpie Smile’s debut album has one question for you: is your heart good enough to take The Staircase? Sharpie Smile is Dylan Hadley and Cole Berliner. They met in 2015, a pair of musically-adept nonconformist teenagers, forming a songwriting and performance duo. Writing initially for a project called Kamikaze Palm Tree, with Dylan on drums and Cole on guitar, they produced two albums of thorny, earwormy art-rock. While continuing to play shows and write, there was some session work with other acts (Cate Le Bon, A. Savage, Tim Presley’s White Fence). And then a shimmering new direction came into view... For Sharpie Smile, that direction is up. The Staircase is a lush and energizing contemporary pop record, scaling an ambitious gradient of minimal/maximal electronic production and deep feels. It’s a dreamy and ethereal trip through something (you’re not sure what yet), on a radiant melodic raft. Reality is breaking and rebirth is happening, one piece at a time—essential questions deconstructed and pieced together again. Like scanning a new x-ray image of yourself.

***Mercury Vineyard Surgeries is an emerging album by Grant Corum, and in this occasion he introduces a new entity from his domain; The Orchardist, a Mercurial cryptopodian-like astrologer, magician and pianist whose melodies induce surgeon vines to heal, in this case, the listener… These nine atmospheric tracks sound very ethereal and sparse, compared to older works by Corum, where rhythm reigned his zones. This time he abandons the drums and flutes, and uses electric, wind and water sounds, the cycles seem less automatic, evoking tension, relaxation and confusion, like organic machinery at the Akashic pavilion operating your systems... noted upon its initial bloom in 2018 by Nonlocal Research, who originally released this album as a limited edition for a full U.S. tour across the States in which the cassettes were scattered like seeds... Intended as a prelude for a larger body of work, due out later this year, Psychic Sounds has released a fully remastered vision, with new artwork, by Corum, which includes a stunning hand-numbered double-sided 2-color screen-print insert depicting the scenes of the science & mystery involved.

***Melodies are alive, remolded and reshaped in each performance. Guitarist Shane Parish embraces this continual evolution by transcribing songs from across musical genres, instruments, and eras for solo guitar. Recent albums like 2024’s Repertoire, which features 14 songs across jazz, folk, and electronic music and played on acoustic guitar, showcase his skill in transcription, as does his work transforming Bill Orcutt’s Four Guitars from a multi-tracked solo project into a quartet played live by four musicians. His practice is that of musical curiosity and technical virtuosity, highlighting all the ways a good song can be unraveled and sewn back together into something new.On Solo At Cafe Oto, Parish presents six poignant ballads reimagined for solo electric guitar as played at London’s legendary venue in fall 2023. A European tour with the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet brought him to the venue; they did a one-off show at Cafe Oto in which each member of the group played a solo set. It ended up being a special night, one of those shows in which there’s magic in the room forged by a shared love of music.Many of the songs Parish chose to perform that evening hold a sense of mysteriousness, something immersive and intriguing to get lost in. He picked them—some of which had stayed with him for many years—because of their attention to atmosphere. It’s a characteristically eclectic vision: Three songs are by John Jacob Niles, a Kentucky balladeer whom Parish had developed a deep knowledge of over recent years, two...

***"This recording is from the second time we played at CBGB. We had been invited by Jon Spencer to play at a Blues Explosion show there. Jon had been generously inviting us to play shows in New York City since 1991 or so. It was a great thrill and helped us get out of the insular Boston scene and out into the real world, so to speak. This show was held around the time that our second LP Destination Lonely was released but we had already moved away from that more bare boned garage sound, and were starting to play songs that would be released on subsequent records such as Whiskey and Don’t Like You. We were beginning to come into our own as a bass-less, three piece band, learning how to play in the heavy style that would come into full being in the mid-90s. At that time, we just wanted to play as wild as we could. I think this show is a great representation of that. The show was remastered by Marco Butcher from edited masters of the original board tape."—Tom Shannon

***"When we first arrived in Europe, we landed at Heathrow airport in London and were taken by ferry across the channel to France and then up to the Netherlands to play our first show in the basement of Vera. Later in the tour we returned to Vera to play the upstairs main stage where this recording was made by our road manager Edwin who worked the soundboard and did the live mix. The tour was in support of our record Don’t Like You and this set list was very representative of our performances at that time. We were having fun, and the partying was pretty much non-stop, especially in Groningen. We are forever grateful to the people at Vera for getting us over to Europe and treating us so kindly. We hope this recording is an accurate reminder of those crazy times. The recording was remastered by Marco Butcher from edited transfers of the original board tape."—Tom Shannon

Combining the run of early singles with more obscure later period tracks underlines the strength in depth that Wire had. This is pop art as art/pop and an exploration of the blank canvas of pop culture and how far that canvas can be stretched going from three minute constructs to ambient washes. The 7” single was always the ultimate artefact and statement with the A side being the band momentarily paused in time and distilled and freeze-framed into the forever with less than three minutes of electric sound. Perhaps the greatest pop band that you may never have heard of, Wire understood this implicitly. They somehow found the sweetest of spots between the post-punk’s short sharp shock shapeshifting, art prog’s defiant experimental and a disciplined pop touch that pushed the parameters of what a song could be. These “sevens” released from 1977 to the end of that decade signpost the band's remarkable development from their brilliantly monochromatic early phase to the textured complexity of the almost psychedelic unzipping of their sound and vision. ‘In some ways the compilation of Nine Sevens onto a double album makes for quite a weird documentation of the band in this period. The first disc, to some extent, follows the script of a singles / greatest hits collection but the second one goes wildly off-piste and ends up somewhere quite far from where the collection started. A conventional Greatest Hits collection, besides being conceptually a bit naff would, if strictly based on charting singles, consist...

Recut and remastered for vinyl, with matte jackets, two-sided insert, 12"x18" two-sided poster (including a collage of Pat Blashill photos) and a sticker. Limited edition of 1,000 copies on colored vinyl."Big Boys music, artwork, and defying attitude have resonated for decades from their inception in 1979 until their demise in 1984. To be able to blend punk, hardcore punk, post-punk, Oi!, avante-garde jazz, and funk just sounds like a mess but Big Boys did this flawlessly and with perfection !!! Their love of skateboarding also shined through and melted all of this together. At some point Thrasher Magazine caught notice and every skater in the 1980s knew about Big Boys through their coverage in the magazine and their 'Skate Rock' compilations. Most bands are, long forgotten with such a short lifespan. Putting out numerous LP's and EPs while touring the US cemented their legacy that has left a ripple into even modern music. They were at the forefront of do it yourself culture that paved the way for so many."

***Following the release of their triumphant breakthrough album Cartwheel, which gained widespread critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork (8.4/10 Best New Music) and Stereogum (Top 10 Albums of 2023 - “riveting, restless shoegaze packed with massive hooks”), NYC’s Hotline TNT are back with their best album yet, Raspberry Moon. The record marks what many are calling 'The Next Phase in New American Shoegaze'.Hotline TNT have toured relentlessly, including US-wide tours with Wednesday and Snail Mail, enduring seemingly endless lineup shifts to become a linchpin of several interconnecting DIY scenes. Whilst Cartwheel was largely conceived by frontman Will Anderson (previously of cult indie group Weed), Raspberry Moon is very much a full-band effort, which is evident in the album’s all-consuming, rip-roaring sound. For fans of Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr. and My Bloody Valentine.

A celebration of love, unity and noise. The idea of PHYSIQUE and ELECTRIC CHAIR doing a split record was a spontaneous idea that got thrown out when a handful of members from each band went swimming together a few summers ago. The thought that they were two very different sounding and well celebrated bands, from the same small town made it very appealing. Of course, the driving idea was that it was a symbol of friendship between members of the bands. Since their respective inceptions, the two bands have been closely intertwined. Riley lived with a few members of Electric Chair for many years. Trae is a former member of Physique—and Riley has even filled in on drums for EC. The two bands love one other and have been long time friends and supporters of each other’s music. The record celebrates a period of time in Olympia's rich punk history that all involved are very proud of.1500 on black 150gr vinyl housed in a 24pt jacket with insert.

In April of this year, Mizmor mastermind A.L.N. released something new—Alluvion, the Mizmor and Hell collaboration (Gilead Media). Now in June, A.L.N. brings you something old… or rather, renewed. Mnemonic:Ambient Mosaic is comprised of ten of A.L.N.’s earliest recordings, transformed into nostalgic drone-scapes. The artist has been making solo music under multiple monikers consistently since age thirteen and the recordings selected for this record date back almost as far.“To create Mnemonic, I unearthed a selection of old recordings from both The Zarconiac and my eponymous hymns (2011) and repurposed them into ambient tracks, just like I did with the Mizmor song “Pareidolia” (Wit’s End, 2022). I realized that there were many lamentful melodies in my old songs that I still love, despite the lo-fi quality. The idea was to create a nostalgic soundscape of inverted hymns, allowing the listener to explore the sounds of my past, obscured though they may be.” Drafts of these songs were originally published to Mizmor’s Patreon (currently inactive), one each month of the year 2024. The twelve songs were then edited down into the ten that comprise this LP.About the aforementioned hymns, A.L.N. explains, “In my time as a Christian (2010-2012), I created an EP of original hymns. The life of this project was short and catalogued simply under my given name. I can count the number of people who have heard these songs on one hand. These were worship songs, but not in the traditional sense. These songs were full of melancholy, pleas of...

***PROCRASTINATORS were a locally cherished ‘77 infused punk rock band active from 1994 to 1997 in Portland, Oregon. For whatever reason, the rest of the world has taken its sweet time discovering this gem. Featuring Portland all-star Chris Carey (RIP) who would later grace his presence in many local bands including POISON IDEA, DEATHCHARGE, RELIGIOUS WAR, DEFIANCE, etc., etc., this is a great document of how it all started with this very important figure in the scene here along with many others who were very active in the Portland underground scene throughout the 90’s. Musically, these punks can be likened to cohorts, The Riffs with the straight ahead street punky rock n roll executed totally raw and unadulterated. This LP collects variations of the tracks on their one and only 7” EP, demo stuff, an unreleased EP, a comp track, rehearsal track, and live song simply titled “New Song”. This record comes with an extensive layout with liner notes from surviving members, a lot of photos, reviews and snippets from fanzines.

He has released countless cassettes, CDRs & 7" records on various labels culminating in two full length albums: Fighting (2012) on Spectrum Spools and Hysteria (2015) on NNA Tapes.More recently Moskos has performed and recorded alongside Max Eilbacher (Horse Lords) and Duncan Moore as SEF III, and with Nate Young, John Olson and Pulitzer Prize winning composer Raven Chacon as The Difficult Messages Band. He has also played alongside Neil Hagerty (Royal Trux), Charles Balas and Nate Young in Dan’l Boon (Drag City). Moskos is an amateur historian and works in community radio at CKUT 90.3FM—Montreal’s oldest freeform radio station. He lives in Hochelaga, an east end neighborhood of Montreal with artist Jessica Mensch and Boots The Cat.Macbeth was initially intended as a double LP. Though now whittled down to under thirty minutes it somehow remains both epic and kaleidoscopic. It is by turns dissonant, comedic and elevating. Moskos uses poetry and song to recount the lives of Montreal’s many wayward souls, the uncelebrated history of its street life and personalities, addiction, and the tension of maintaining an inner life while living in the metropolis, all set to a backdrop of electronics, raw guitar playing, and samples.Macbeth features Moskos’ own production work alongside two tracks produced by the mysterious Collections Crew (who have played on more legendary Montreal records than you would believe).

Their nightclub, Spellcaster Lodge (opened July 4, 1996) was named for the 1995 album.Most of these instrumental tracks were originally recorded as soundtrack material for the science fiction film, Mirza the Miraculous, directed by Brent Joseph. There is a new track “Greenwashed Planet” which was recorded at the end of the Mississippi River, using Quintron’s Wildlife Organ. “I Hear Voices” is the vocal version of the title track and did not appear on the original release.This version also includes updated original cover artwork by prolific abstract painter (also Q’s uncle), Vint Blackburn. Quintron grew up with this piece hanging on the living room wall in St. Louis—it helped to suck him into this life somehow. Sadly, madman Blackburn passed in 2023. The updated cover for this release serves to honor his work and its influence.

***Chasm of Immurement, the Debut Full-Length from Clairvoyance, features six tracks of extremely rotten gut-wrenching Death / Doom Metal! Poland’s Clairvoyance was forged in late 2019 by vocalist Maciej Cesarczyk and guitarist Denis Didenko. Taking inspiration mostly from Finnish and American bands from the ‘90s, the duo eventually locked into a classic Death Metal sound, then rounded out their lineup by recruiting drummer Adrian Szczepański and bassist Jasiek Kraciuk. The quartet quickly conjured a three-song demo in May of 2020, which was received positively both locally and internationally, seeing a Cassette release through Caligari Records, while Behind The Mountain released the 7” vinyl edition. For the next two years Clairvoyance would gain notability within Warsaw’s Death Metal Underground, especially after the release of their Threshold Of Nothingness EP (Blood Harvest - 2022). Clairvoyance returned to the studio again in the Summer of 2024 to record their long overdue debut LP, “Chasm Of Immurement”. By upping the intensity and the aggressiveness of their sound, the band hopes to start a new chapter in their journey and to show their listeners what Clairvoyance was truly meant to be. “Chasm Of Immurement” was Recorded and Engineered by Clairvoyance guitarist Kacper Pawluk, Mixed by Pawluk and Piotrek Polak, and Mastered by Polak. Cover Artwork by Paolo Girardi (Bell Witch, Chthe’ilist, Noroth).

On Come and Get Me, however, they prove they are just as comfortable flexing their skills in the studio.Following close on the heels of their 2024 single, “I Think I Need You Around,” Ryli delivers a fully-formed pop record that touches on the familiar but goes beyond pastiche. So, while they cite “early McCartney, The Smiths, Camera Obscura, and Belle & Sebastian” as sources of inspiration, Chen and Good are veteran songwriters who can synthesize their influences and create a sound unmistakably their own.

***Whitney’s Playland have returned with Long Rehearsal, a short and sweet three-song 7” EP set to be released in Summer 2025 via Dandy Boy Records (Oakland, CA) and Meritorio Records (Madrid, Spain).After the 2023 release of their debut full-length LP Sunset Sea Breeze (Meritorio / Paisley Shirt), which was recorded as a duo, the Bay Area band took a brief hiatus. While these new songs recall the first album’s distinct style, they diverge from their bedroom pop introduction. Long Rehearsal sees the full band performing together for the first time on a record since expanding into a four-piece. The trio of tracks bridges the divide between jangle-pop and crunchy 90’s alt rock, plumbing the depths of tonality and mood. The whole thing is anchored by Inna Showalter’s delicately determined voice, which might help you forget about your trials and tribulations for a brief moment. The result is a more polished production but still keeps in touch with the band’s lo-fi roots. All three tracks were recorded at the band members’ San Francisco, El Cerrito, and Santa Rosa home studios.

***Recorded several years ago before Rudimentary Peni engaged in another mysterious hiatus, Great War has finally emerged to kiss the gas-tinged light of a mustered morn. Expanding on the skeletal sounds and subject of 2009's Wilfred Owen single the band has seen fit to concentrate on a more mechanized approach doing away with even more of the humanizing aspects in their music this time delivering ten painful familiar shards fraught with brittle anxiety and anguished simplicity. Great War cements new phase in the ever-crawling metamorphic madness that is Rudimentary Peni. The record comes with brand new Nick Blinko artwork.

***Lullaby for the Debris is the second album from Moses Brown of Institute's solo project Peace de Résistance. Those who loved Peace de Résistance's 2022 debut, Bits and Pieces, will be pleased to hear that much of what made that album so memorable—the glam-infused art rock sound, the gritty yet richly textured production, and Moses's bluntly class-conscious lyrics—carries over into Lullaby for the Debris. Yet Lullaby for the Debris also sounds more refined, more timeless than its predecessor, with "40 Times the Rent," "Coddle the Rich," and "Ain't What It Used to Be" all built around chooglin' Lou Reed-style riffs beamed in from the great rock and roll beyond. Elsewhere on the record, Moses' arty side shines through, with "The Funny Man" and "Pay Us More" full of uncanny sounds that invite the listener to bathe in their rich sonic textures. "I Am" and "You Are Absurd" move into a new territory Brown calls "despondent funk," their rubbery bass sounds and eerily progressive soundscapes evoking Station to Station-era Bowie, while the title track closes the album on a pensive note, landing somewhere between '70s minimalist composition and the mellower moments from Eno's solo albums. The real strength of this record, though, is Brown's ever-developing songwriting skills, which meld wry social observation and Crass-style confrontational politics to melodies you'll sing along with for the rest of your life.

In celebration of Pride Month, Kinga struts to Dark Entries with “Sexy Boy,” a steamy Canadian pop gem. Inspired by gender-bending pop stars of the 1980s like Boy George and Janet Jackson, a young Tomas Fussey aka Kinga ditched his “schoolboy appearance” to adopt an edgier, androgynous style. Immersed in Calgary nightlife, he became acquainted with sexy synthpop and disco songs like Madonna’s “Everybody,” Divine’s “Native Love,” and the Flirts’ “Passion” - songs which still linger in his mind. He began writing music: “It was 80s. Everyone was making a record. So I made one too.” In 1988 he teamed up with keyboardist Dan Madison and veteran producer Bob Gallo to make “Elevator Operator” and “Sexy Boy.” Kinga was surprised when the B-side “Sexy Boy” garnered substantial radio play from CFNY in Toronto. But he notes: “They saw the obvious... My physical appearance supported the lyrics.” In 1989, Amok Records backed a new “Late Night Dance Mix” version of “Sexy Boy.” Almost every part was re-recorded or remade, including Kinga’s vocals. The new version surprised Kinga with its slick production and moody atmosphere. Sales were disappointing, and Kinga stated “It was not the sound of the moment.” But these deeper house-inflected grooves feel like the sound of our current moment. This release of Sexy Boy includes five different mixes, including the original 7” mix, three versions from the 12”, and the previously unreleased “TV Mix”. Sexy Boy comes sleeved in a reproduction of the original artwork and includes an insert...
