***Vincent Presley has played in various groups for nearly 30 years including goth doomsters, Those Poor Bastards and crossover thrash outfit Zebras. "Defuse" is the 3rd release in his "Music To" series of very limited edition electronic albums. Features special guest, Norman Westberg (Swans) on guitar. Only 100 copies made. All in Cyan Blue and Hot Pink Swirled vinyl. "This is an album of very minimalistic music. In the last year or so I have used these recordings many times to defuse a lot of rage, anxiety, and complete mental breakdowns. It works well in headphones when you have to go out into the world but I would also recommend playing it at home, in low light, with your prescribed or self-prescribed substance of choice."

***Back in print for The Residents big 50th anniversary! Limited edition double LP of only 200 hand-numbered copies in Canary Yellow and Red swirled vinyl. The Residents have officially been releasing albums since 1972 and over that time have bounced around between mellow electronic, abrasive noise, new wave, spoken word story albums, and all other types of avantgarde. Between 1994 and 2005 many studio tracks and all live performances featured a mysterious, costumed, female vocalist that often stole the show. Loss Of The Lizard Lady collects these female fronted tunes into a very limited edition double LP packed inside a beautiful gatefold jacket designed by Steven Cerio. Includes many rare tracks that were previously only available on very limited edition CDs and DVDs.

This 2xLP set includes all 4 songs from the original 1972 EP along with every studio Santa Dog that came later (78, 84, 88, 92, 99, 2006, 2012, 2017).

***Bunny Boy was one of the most ambitious projects in The Resident's long history of experimental concept driven studio albums and stage shows. It began as an interactive web series about an old friend, "Bunny" trying to find his missing brother and soon after became a studio album, a soundtrack album, and a stage show that toured Europe and the United States. By the time the tour had finished the story had grew to 66 web episodes and eventually sprouted two more studio albums. Arkansas was a follow up to Bunny Boy but was only released as a limited-edition CD and Ozan was a download only album of instrumentals written for the BB project but never used. Ozark collects all the tracks from Arkansas and Ozan with an additional 4 unreleased songs. First time ever on vinyl and limited to only 250 hand-numbered copies on Mint and Baby Pink Swirled double vinyl.

***Dark and oozing synthesizer soundtrack for rotting and resurrecting the undead. Don't get your face eaten without the proper music. Enjoy a dance with the sexiest corpse you can find in the cemetery. Have a hypno-seizure to the secret lab's strobing resurrection machine. Vomit all over yourself as dragged limbs leave behind a trail of rotted flesh and fresh maggots. VINCENT PRESLEY has spent the last decade or so playing drums and synths on tour with goth-country doomsters, THOSE POOR BASTARDS and screaming his head off and playing guitar with his experimental punk & metal band ZEBRAS. Before that (between various other punk bands) he recorded loads of industrial, electronic, etc. Now quarantined and going crazy, he's spent much of the year building an impressive collection of vintage and new synthesizers. Music To Rot & Resurrect is a drippy minimalist, retro zombie flick soundtrack album and is the second in a series of very limited-edition vinyl releases. Only 100 total copies made. All hand-numbered and pressed on random mix colored vinyl.

***For the first time anywhere, a live album from The Residents' 2008 Bunny Boy tour! Bunny Boy was one of the most ambitious projects in the group's long history of experimental concept driven studio albums and stage shows. It began as an interactive web series about an old friend, "Bunny" trying to find his missing brother and soon after became a studio album, a soundtrack album, and a stage show that toured Europe and the United States. By the time the tour had finished the story had grew to 66 web episodes and eventually sprouted two additional limited-edition CDs of more studio recordings, a book that collected all the email responses to the videos, and even a comic book. This is the only tour by The Residents that has never had a live album released in any way. Now available in a limited edition of 250 copies on Hot Pink & Black Swirled Vinyl or 250 Blue & Black Marble Vinyl. All come inside hand-numbered matte finish gatefold jackets.

***A rare and sought-after DIY collaboration from RACHEL BROOKE and songwriter BROOKS ROBBINS. Full of Detroit grit, this is a straight-up break up record—and the first chapter into this songwriting duo’s critically acclaimed work. Originally released on CD in 2009 (the same year Rachel released her Demos album and recorded her duet album with Lonesome Wyatt from Those Poor Bastards), this collection has maintained an air of mystery and obscurity in the underground country realm. Now released on limited edition vinyl, JUNK perfectly encapsulates a moment in time—a picture of heartbreak and sorrow, and a vulnerable longing for a failing love. 250 copies pressed on gold & white swirled vinyl.

***While recently digging through The Residents archive tapes, four completely unknown Snakefinger recordings were discovered. These demos are estimated to be from 1978-1982 when The Residents were performing on and producing his studio work. Instead of just releasing them as a 7" or something, Secret Records decided to pair them with other essential Snakefinger tunes that never appeared on one of his LPs. One side collects the newly discovered demos along with a couple live tracks that were planned to be recorded for a new album in 1987 before Snakefinger passed away. The other side collects all the B-sides / non-album studio recordings from Ralph Records. Limited edition of 350 copies on Neon Violet colored vinyl.

***History lesson: In 1983 CHROME released an album called No Humans Allowed that was one side of strange, experimental music and one side of that classic Chrome art punk that had been blowing minds since the mid 70's. Immediately after its release HELIOS CREED went solo for 15 years and upon his return to the Chrome name he released Tidal Forces (No Humans Allowed pt II), another album of experimental music backed with classic Chrome rockers. The album was only released on CD and has never been reissued. Secret Records is proud to be the first to get this lost Chrome album out on vinyl as a limited-edition LP of 350 copies on translucent blue vinyl with a blue flexi 7". While remastering the album the track list was tweaked a little making it flow more like the original No Humans Allowed. Enjoy side A when in a psychedelic mood and side B when you need that deranged Helios, buzz-saw, space punk.

***Long time secret collaborator / composer of THE RESIDENTS, HARDY FOX released a vast number of solo albums during his last few years on Earth. This one was the last album he released under the "BOBUCK" moniker before publicly announcing his true identity. Although much of his solo work is instrumental, Nineteen-Sixty-Seven features Hardy both playing and singing some of the biggest hits of 1967 in his unique and twisted Residents style. Hear all those hits from The Beatles, Dylan, The Doors, Simon & Garfunkel, Rolling Stones and more in an all new way. First time on vinyl. Limited edition of 350 copies on green vinyl. “I found the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love - 2017 - far too great of a temptation. I was in my early 20s, in San Francisco, stoned out of my mind in 1967. But much of that music stayed with me. I really wanted to do a cover album of music I often heard live at the Fillmore West, or coming from a flat-bed truck in Golden Gate Park. It is easy to romanticize youth, but let me tell you, 1967 was not a normal year. I am so glad I was in the middle of it.”—HF

***Began in the late '70s and quickly signed to Ralph Records where they released 4 LPs plus the amazing collaboration album with The Residents, Title In Limbo. In 1987 the group went into semi-retirement until this wonderful "comeback" album was released in 2016. A wonderfully strange medieval sounding electronic album with all the bizarre insectoid vocals we know and love from their classic Ralph catalog. NOW, it's the end of 2019 and Gurdy is finally on vinyl with an entire extra 18 minute side of brand new music recorded specially for this vinyl edition! Limited to only 350 copies on gold and blue swirled double vinyl inside beautiful gatefold jackets.

After a couple CDs, front man ZEBULON WHATLEY became more of a shut-in and stopped putting his music on any physical format. Psalms is the second SOP album and was originally released in 2010 as a download only album. It features guest vocals by THOSE POOR BASTARDS' front man LONESOME WYATT and German folk banjoist DAD HORSE.

***In Between Dreams is a brand new live album recorded on THE RESIDENTS' most recent tour, which focuses on dreamlike material from their vast catalog plus a sneak peek at some brand new songs for an upcoming studio album. It is the band's first new live album to be released on vinyl in nearly 30 years. The artwork for the album was created by Resident's collaborator STOTT HOWARD, and portrays a surreal Residents themed fantasy world sprawled across a hand-numbered, matte finish, gatefold jacket. The vinyl is available in two different color editions of 250 copies. There's a baby blue, white, & black "pie slice" vinyl edition, or a black & white swirled vinyl edition. The digipack CD version comes packaged in a 12" tall, full-colored, 1990 style longbox. Recorded in San Francisco by GABRIEL SHEPARD and mixed with ERIC DREW FELDMAN.

***In October 2017 HARDY FOX publicly announced that he was "Charles Bobuck" and had been one of the secret composers for the anonymous art group, THE RESIDENTS. Four months later he released his first album under his real name after 45 years of secrecy. An album of minimalist electronic love songs with somewhat shy vocals. "For me, I am still able to love as an older gentleman, but the intensity of love always takes me back to my youth when all was new and strange. Each element that drove sexual exploits had to be explored, considered and digested. Now older, I am able to gain some objectivity to set memories to music. This album is a glimpse into my younger self. Well truthfully, probably not. It is likely yet another fantasy of an aging man, still led around by his dick". Unfortuntely, in Sept 2018 Hardy posted his own obituary in advance to his own impending passing. He died of brain cancer on Oct 30th. Limited edition of 350 hand-numbered copies on green and yellow vinyl inside a reverse board jacket with a golden flexi 7".

Before all that happened they had this weirdo noise rock, space punk masterpiece, Kero Kero Kero, but it was only available in Japan and only on CD. 18 Years later it sounds like a breath of fresh air and is coming to vinyl for the first time ever. 250 copies on Baby Pink with Black Splatter vinyl and 250 copies on Hot Pink and Easter Yellow swirl vinyl are all that are being pressed. All copies are hand-numbered and include a digital download code. Remastered by Carl Saff. "eX-Girl are a beautiful example of information overload. Jagged 3 part vocal harmonies, adventurous arrangements, and songs that hook you like the sucker that you are. Take all of these treats, wrap it in an ultra-bright technicolor live show with surreal homemade costumes, and you've got the sensation of being strapped in on an out-of-control carnival ride that will leave you standing in line waiting for another turn."—Mike Patton

***RENALDO & THE LOAF (sometimes called "The UK Residents") are best known for their fouralbums released on Ralph Records between 1981 and 1987, their 1983 collaboration album with The Residents (Title In Limbo), and their incredible 1981 music video for Songs For Swinging Larvae which was banned from television and film fests. Years before they were signed by Ralph Records they were already recording and in early 1979 Behind Closed Curtains was scheduled to be released on vinyl under the moniker PLIMSOLLLLINE. The label never released the album, Plimsolline quickly became Renaldo & The Loaf, and the tapes were shelved for 35 years until Klanggalerie unearthed them in 2014 for a CD release.

***Featuring members of THOSE POOR BASTARDS and CALL ME LIGHTNING, Wisconsin-based hardcore crossover miscreants, ZEBRAS, manifests a traumatic sound of societal scorn, wrath and disease. A blood-boiling brand of hammering, stripped down, punk-infused metal made of punishing drum demolitions, bowel shaking bass, chainsaw guitars, confrontational shouts, and enough volume to raze a nation, Zebras don’t fuck around. The City Of Sun, the band's follow-up to their self-titled debut was captured at Howl Street Recordings in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by drummer SHANE HOCHSTETLER (Call Me Lightning, Multiple Truths, Haymarket Riot etc.), mastered by Carl Saff (Pencil, Lustre King, Windmills By The Ocean etc.) in Chicago, Illinois and comes swathed in vexing tales of the occult, ancient texts, and lesser known military operations.
