Weeks, Greg

If The Sun Dies

Language Of Stone

Dormancy comes in many forms. For some it is a break from the world of stress and the constant demands one finds oneself under. For others it is a much needed respite from the grind, a time to disengage from the wheel and collect oneself for the next challenge. If The Sun Dies, Greg Weeks’ seventh release, is a signal that his respite is over. Pursuing creativity once again, Weeks finds himself in a period of explosive productivity. He has written an enormous number of songs over the past few years, enough to fuel five separate projects, including If The Sun Dies. In addition, he has rebuilt his Hexham Head Studio (still all analog, still twenty-four tracks) and resuscitated his label Language Of Stone (sans imprint status).If The Sun Dies, which takes its title from an Oriana Fallaci novel, is every bit a Weeks album: cryptic-poetic lyrics over melancholic melodies strummed on acoustic guitar and ornamented with the analog instruments he has forever treasured (Hammond Organ, Mellotron, Mini-Moog, and effects-laden guitars). However, the album feels like a departure, a maturation in both content and approach despite its many echoes from the past.The album’s running thread is melancholia, but lyrically the tunes couldn’t be more disparate. “If The Sun Dies” is an anthem that posits the end of things being the only means by which two people can find time to truly connect. “The Heathen Heart” speaks to one’s desire for salvation yet underscores a different, more frightening reality.

Fog Lamp

Still Entangled

Siltbreeze

SF's Fog Lamp have been at it for a few yrs now, repping heavily around the local environs, garnering a solid word-of-mouth reputation. Originally a trio sans tubs, the synth-driven iron gulp of their early days was like Animal of Anti-Nowhere League crashing a Cabaret Voltaire rehearsal. 'Power to the paradox' I like to say, or in the immortal words of Tug McGraw, "Ya Gotta Believe!" So after a couple tapes & whatnot, Siltbreeze got clued in & have solidly backed their debut vinyl lp, Still Entangled. Along the way, the band enlisted the solid drumming prowess of Rachelle Hughes & by doing so, Fog Lamp have zoned in an intensive, beguiling churn of Dossier era Chrome slipping into The Sleepers panic-creep of 'Painless Nights'. Their hauntingly dense & layered murk is as authentically Bay Area as a bowl of Cioppino. Look for them on tour (West Coast only) in Jan. of 2026. Flannel is the new Goth.

Robb, Emily

Soundtrack to the Space Between Attack and Decay

Petty Bunco

Emily Robb has cemented her place as one of the underground’s most distinctive guitarists. Her pair of visionary solo albums on Petty Bunco showcase her evocative, feedback-rich guitar style and her gift for finding melody inside the noise. The invitation to compose the score for The Space Between Attack and Decay has led Robb into new and fascinating territory. Her imaginative soundtrack reveals some of her most far-reaching and expressive work to date. "Wake Up" serves as the recurring theme that follows the film’s lead character. Its dark melody trudges beneath breathy layers of trumpet, creating an atmosphere that’s both intimate and uneasy. When it returns as "Frustrated Wake Up," the theme takes on sharper edges, punctuated by Robb’s crunching guitar rhythms and waves of tremolo. Her natural instinct to rock shines through here, giving the cue a playfulness that blends perfectly with the film’s mood. Like a great Morricone motif, it instantly defines the protagonist’s identity. "Shiny Sister" drifts in on lilting Spanish-guitar melodies that gradually give way to ethereal, siren-like vocals. The subtle Mexican influence in instrumentation and phrasing evoke the more romantic side of 1960s and ’70s spaghetti western scores, infused with the sun-bleached mysticism of Jadorowosky's El Topo. This piece expands the film’s emotional space while standing beautifully on its own. "Dance Music" echoes the story’s theme of searching. Drums and bass circle one another in a loose, hesitant rhythm, like two people shyly beginning to dance, gradually gaining confidence with each pass....

O'Sullivan, Daniel & Richard Youngs

Persian Carpets

Vhf

Second LP of duets by these longtime VHF family staples, here delivering 2 side-long epics of “minimalist” bliss. Both sides feature Daniel on piano and Richard on zither, with rippling waves of sound recalling classics like Charlemagne Palestine’s “Strumming Music” (Dan is a frequent collaborator with C.P.) and Richard’s “Advent.” “Persian Carpets I” is a real-humans performance full of tiny variants in rhythm and attack, rising and falling in intensity – sometimes a rush of sound, sometimes a cloud of soft overtones and phantom notes. “Persian Carpets II” is more spare, with quiet and careful piano alongside Richard’s subdued accompaniment – a gorgeous bath of pointillist sound that rewards close listening.

Essex Green, The

Everything Is Green

Dust and Memory

Nomeansno

Sex Mad

Alternative Tentacles

In the annals of punk, few albums hit with the seismic force of NOMEANSNO’s Sex Mad. Released in 1986, this was more than a record, it was a detonation. Amid the Cold War and the Reagan era’s cultural tension, Sex Mad erupted as a raw, furious, and utterly fearless statement that redefined what punk could be.From the opening blast of “Dad,” NOMEANSNO made it clear they weren’t following anyone’s blueprint. The Wright brothers Rob and John, alongside guitarist Andy Kerr, forged a sound that fused hardcore intensity with the precision of jazz, the elasticity of funk, and the cerebral bite of art rock. The result was unlike anything else emerging from the scene at the time.Lyrically, Sex Mad dove headlong into alienation, addiction, and societal rot. These are subjects punk had tackled before, but rarely with such intelligence and emotional gravity. Rob Wright’s snarling vocals and razor-edged bass lines delivered every word with conviction. Even the controversial cover art, an original painting by Andy Kerr was censored by some retailers,. This just underscored the band’s willingness to confront discomfort and provoke dialogue.Recorded at Profile Studios in Vancouver with producer Cecil English (D.O.A., Subhumans), Sex Mad captured the raw electricity of NOMEANSNO’s live shows while revealing the intricate musicianship that set them apart from their peers. Though critics at the time didn’t always know what to make of it, Sex Mad has since become a cornerstone of experimental punk. A record that influenced everyone from the Melvins and Primus to Faith...

Total Shutdown

Fin

Rock Is Hell

Three "new songs" recorded in 2006 from SF underground faves Total Shutdown. Limited to 200 copies pressed on clear/red/yellow mixed vinyl and housed silkscreened fold-out covers."The crazed experimental rock of San Francisco's Total Shutdown first saw the light of day at a gig on February 14, 2000. Vocalist Bob Linder, bassist Nate Denver, guitarist Paul Costuros, drummer Phillipe Nguyen, and saxophonist Matt Hartman all play a variety of instruments besides their main ones and, individually, have been involved in everything from performance art to death metal. There first release came as a split 7" with Boxleitner on Thin the Herd Records and it earned a spot on Byron Coley's Top Ten singles of 2001 in the Village Voice. Compilation appearances and limited-edition CD-Rs followed before the one-sided 12" 'Long in the Making' came out on blood-red vinyl and with silk-screened covers in 2002. It was enough to draw the attention of the usually electronic-leaning label Tigerbeat6, who issued the band's self-titled debut in 2003."—David Jeffries (All Music)

Frank, Jackson C.

1975 Mekeel Sessions

Antarctica Starts Here

For years, Jackson C. Frank was as ghostly a legend as they come. Even the relatively few record collectors who revered his work were only aware of the lone LP released during his lifetime. For all most listeners knew, Frank made an incredible album in 1965 and then vanished, despite that record having been produced by Paul Simon.1975 Mekeel Sessions features six tracks recorded in the mid-’70s at a studio in Lake Hill, New York about five miles from Woodstock where Frank was living at the time. Only uncovered decades later, these recordings hum with the same mysterious warmth that defined Jackson at his peak. His guitar work, alternating between strummed and fingerpicking, is perfectly understated. His stark and somber voice, more weathered than the lighter tone on his debut.While the Mekeel tapes were intended for Frank’s sophomore album, it never came to be. What one hears is not a singer-songwriter fading out of view, but rather a singular artist who never stopped trying to build his own world—even when no one was watching. For fans of everyone influenced by Jackson: from Nick Drake, Sandy Denny and Bert Jansch to more contemporary acts like Elliott Smith, Vincent Gallo and Iron And Wine who surely used Frank’s sparse approach as a template.

Leimer, K.

Weighted Room

Palace Of Lights

Each track of Weighted Room is shaped by multiple generations, arrangements, and voicing of the same starting material — drawing audio out of midi and flipping audio back into midi to be repeatedly rewritten, recast, retimed, and re-voiced.  “Oddly enough by putting these tracks through dozens of iterations the music more or less determined its own form. As a result there’s way more variety here than is typical of any one collection of my work, but it still holds together as a singular statement” Leimer said.  To complete the album Leimer edited, layered, and processed the seven pieces using different parts and passages from all their generations. Some versions contribute as little as a single sound, others form the overall structure, while still other generations play in the foreground, middle ground, or background. The track styles span ambient, dark ambient, new jazz, noise, and new classical with equal focus. As one example, the title track flips the relationship between a lead instrument and the ambient textures that were the original focal point of the music by obscuring its evolving, granular atmosphere with a more melodic sensibility, asking the listener to give attention to buried aura — emphasizing the inversion of traditional instrumental roles which is the defining characteristic of Weighted Room. Mastered by Taylor Deupree with cover art by Simon Adjiashvili, Weighted Room adds a distinctly new setting to K. Leimer’s catalog. 

Harvey Milk

WhaRvEy milK

Chunklet

One of the countless Harvey Milk recordings I’ve accumulated over the years is a spotless recording of the band performing on Atlanta radio stalwart WREK 91.1 over at Georgia Tech. The year is 1994 and the band has barely been a band for less than two years. Two freakin’ years. Harvey Milk drove into Atlanta on a weeknight to perform their puzzling Southern Gothic dirge for the weirdos that religiously tune in to hear the vanguard of Georgia music on the Tech station. All these years later, I listen back to this recording and sit in sheer awe of what a fully formed, self-actualized and succinct powerhouse Harvey Milk had become so quickly after their beginning not two years prior. While the band’s full lengths are unassailably well conceived and air tight, their live performances of the era leaned more on the material that lurked on their many seven inch releases that sat dormant on local record shelves until the world outside of Georgia caught on, leading the locals to take stock in this puzzling and extremely righteous band. Taut megajams like “Probolcoc/Jim’s Polish,” “Yer Mouse Gets My Dander Up” and “Women Dig It” were merely tucked away in singles bins while their full length masterpieces had yet to find their fans across the globe. Nary a hair out of place. Sitting on my patio during an extended layover a couple years back, Tanner said “anything you ever want to put out by me, Creston and Paulie is fair game.”...

Bludgeoned Pigs

Live At The Smilin' Buddha, 1980

Celibate Rifles, The

Blind Ear

Bang

***Bang! Records presents the remastered vinyl reissue of Blind Ear (1989), the album where The Celibate Rifles take their punk instincts to the next level—garage muscle, surgical precision, and a rock'n'roll pulse that sounds more urgent than ever today. Formed in Sydney in 1979, the band appears here in full flight: two guitars in constant dialogue, a rhythm section with newfound dynamic range, and a razor-edged vocal that bites without losing melody. The remaster opens up the stereo image, sharpens the six-string detail, and restores to the turntable the physical punch this record demanded from day one; it's the definitive way to (re)discover a key title from the Australian school. The tracklist is pure traction: "Some Kind of Feeling" hits the ground running with speed and focus; "Wonderful Life '88" nails an instant hook and a clear-eyed critique of yuppie culture; and the closer, "O Salvation," lands as an expansive, cathartic statement of intent. Two tracks unusual in Australian rock for their subject matter—"Sean O'Farrell" and "Belfast"—tackle the Northern Ireland conflict head-on and underscore the band's social gaze, while the rest of the album maintains a no-filler intensity. This edition preserves the original LP sequence (the two bonus tracks existed only on the period CD) and stands as an essential piece for collectors and front racks alike: ideal for in-stores, listening bars, and classic alternative rock playlists. If your audience connects with BORED!, Radio Birdman, The New Christs, or The Saints, Blind Ear is an unequivocal yes.

Sternpost

unworld.afterpop

Concentric Circles

Malmo, Sweden's Sternpost returns to Concentric Circles with unworld.afterpop. Following on the heels of the much loved Ulrika, the new album from Sternpost, AKA multi-instrumentalist Petter Herbertsson, shimmers with immersive, cinematic arrangements that sound like they could have only come from a dream.Taking inspiration from Paddy McAloon of Prefab Sprout's "I Trawl the Megahertz" and "A Breath of Life" by Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, with some bits of Van Dyke Parks and Art Bears thrown in for good measure, it is apparent from the start that unworld.afterpop is no scrappy DIY affair. The songs are alive with an unbelievably lush and warm production quality, belying their homerecorded origins. Not content to simply rest on his laurels and repeat himself from release to release, unworld.afterpop sits at the meeting point between Herbertsson's more overtly pop structured group Testbild! (four of whose members appear here), and Sternpost's explorations into harmonic texture and countermelody.Albums this richly ambitious, detailed and dare we say "mature" feel almost out of step with modern music, having more in common with grand late 60s or early 70s productions, when producers working in a "pop" context were more likely to stack layers in the studio, creating mini orchestras of sound. Most importantly, nothing here feels superfluous or unnecessary, with every detail and instrument simply being exactly where it should be.Concentric Circles is incredibly honored to present new recordings from Sternpost, with a release that reminds you that sometimes a really good, fully formed album is the best way to...

Fox, Bill

Alaska

Eleventh Hour Recording Company

***"Alaska" (Side A) is a poignant folk love song about departure and hope. This recording features some eloquent guitar work by guest artist Doug Gillard who has previously contributed his skills to such artists as Nada Surf and Guided by Voices. :Alaska: is a rare Bill Fox recording in a full professional studio setting."Pale Blue Eye" (Side B) is an energized take on the Velvet Underground classic, this recording features an experimental eclectic ensemble of percussion (by brother Tommy Fox and friends) with pulsive searing acoustic guitar. Bill's version is a head on celebration of audial unconventionality.

Fox, Bill

Before I Went To Harvard

Eleventh Hour Recording Company

***Eleventh Hour Recording Co. presents a remarkable reissue that gathers together a wealth of otherwise unreleased Bill Fox material, offering listeners a deeper glimpse into the songwriter’s singular world. This compilation showcases Fox at his most versatile, moving effortlessly between intimate folk balladry and sharp-edged power pop, while also highlighting his collaborative spirit through rare tracks with The Radio Flyers.The collection features standout folk songs that exemplify Fox’s plainspoken poetry and melodic instinct, including “Standing On Nothing Now,” “Greenlove,” “On The Way,” and the aching “Chain To Your Heart.” A cover of Peter Laughner’s “Baudelaire” is reimagined with Fox’s understated delivery, while two traditional folk numbers add texture, even if they feel less essential. The real revelation, however, comes with the inclusion of three Radio Flyers tracks: “I Only Did It Cuz I Felt So Lonely,” penned by Wally Bryson is pure power-pop brilliance; Fox’s own “Alienated” brims with urgency and bite; and “Whenever I” closes their contribution with another undeniable gem.What makes this reissue so compelling is its patchwork quality. Like much of Fox’s catalog, it embraces imperfection, balancing lo-fi intimacy with flashes of studio clarity. The sequencing allows the listener to move between hushed folk confessionals and full-band energy, creating a dynamic portrait of an artist who has always resisted easy categorization. For longtime admirers, the Radio Flyers tracks alone make this a must-have; for newcomers, the folk songs provide an accessible entry point into Fox’s enduring craft.This release is more than a stopgap or curiosity—it’s a vital...

Resonance

Eleventh Hour Recording Company

***The return of Cleveland Ohio's songwriter laureate with the first LP of unreleased music in 13 years. Bill Fox fronted the power-pop band The Mice and won acclaim with solo albums Shelter From the Smoke and Transit Byzantium; his new album Resonance has won national acclaim and been featured in multiple reputable periodicals as a triumphant return to music.With his first LP since the re-issue of 2017’s Before I Went to Harvard, Bill Fox won international acclaim with 2025’s Resonance (Eleventh Hour Recording Company), a collection of never-before heard tracks that span his career. Sequenced, restored, and remastered into a cohesive statement, Resonance was hailed as “full of sharp lyrics, vivid imagery, crushing confessions, and endearing musical flourishes” (Pitchfork) with tracks such as Terminal Way being “a great example of his knack for McCartney-like pop craftsmanship” (Uproxx).Known for both his beloved solo releases Shelter From the Smoke and Transit Byzantium as much as his power-pop garage group with brother Tommy in The Mice, Fox has long been admired by fellow musicians and music fans alike who have praised his plainspoken lyricism and melodic instinct. Much like those critically heralded releases, “Resonance is uniformly excellent and presents an ideal entry point for newcomers” (Uproxx).A study in contrasts: stark acoustic confessionals sit alongside bursts of power-pop energy, Resonance’s fidelity ranges from cassette hiss to studio clarity. Songs like “Lift Your Heads,” and “Meat Factory” showcase Fox’s gift for blending social commentary with timeless melody, while “Wildflower” blooms with Guided By Voice’s Doug...

Nirvana - Atlanta 1990

Chunklet

"Over the course of the last few years, I’ve scanned over 28,000 unique pieces of music history from the South and well beyond. There’s the occasion where something very special comes across the scan bed, and well, this is one of those occasions. The first time Nirvana came to Atlanta was a Sunday in the early part of May 1990. Lifelong music fanatic Victoria Nicholson brought her point-and-shoot and took eleven photos of the band from the side of the stage. The far-from-sell-out show was also attended by Kelly Stringer who had the foresight to yank a flyer off the wall that night and also had a small postcard of upcoming shows. The calendar is part of the postcard set and the flyer has been restored and being included with the postcard set. A machine numbered edition of 50.

100% Unknown Fibers: Odd-Lots

Coq Au Vinyl

***A "fan club" reissue of a hyper rare bootleg called 100% Unknown Fibers: Odd Lots, which is itself a document of the Laguna Beach Happening concert from Christmas Day December 25, 1970. This was a festival organized by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love (aka the "Hippie Mafia") who you might know from the book or documentary "Orange Sunshine". they were the biggest suppliers of high potency LSD in the world and they put on this concert as a sort of "West Coast Woodstock" and they even flew a plane over the crowd and dropped Christmas cards containing tabs of acid on the crowd! The music is several psych/blues rock/ acid folk bands unknowns and its a pretty solid audience recording with lots of in-between song rants and announcements. Really a wild listen! This reissue has a new handmade cover including a stamped patch of acid blotter paper and is limited to 300 copies!"Completely preposterous 'fan club' reissue of what was unauthorized to begin with: live documentation of unknown bands playing a Christmas day festival organized by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love Hippie Mafia. Crude lo-fi biker rock, Hendrixian blow outs, scuzz blues, elongated Cream-y jams, and earnest folk, interspersed with on-stage rants from assorted wasteoids, Black Panthers, and maniacs. Fantastic paste-on packaging complete with insert, stamped number (out of 300), and blotter acid (ask in an hour if it's real). If you know what you're getting into you will have zero regrets."—The Philly Record Exchange

Caveman of the Future

Redscroll

***Dissolve are Hudson Valley Hardcore legends. They led the way with their off-kilter-metal influenced brand of in your face admonishing pummeling sounds. Their first demo was released in 1993 and it took decades for the world around them to catch up to their sound.Caveman of the Future was recorded in 2000 (originally set for a release on MIA records which folded in on itself by the set August 2000 release date) and lost to time. It resurfacedin 2008 and made its way onto CD (Trip Machine Laboratories). The story is more fully documented on the comprehensive inner booklet.

Boyswitch

Queer Without Fear

Cellofame Records

***Born in 2023, Boyswitch is a four-piece, two spirit punk band on Huichin Ohlone land (aka Oakland, California). Fusing punk, post-punk, grunge, and sometimes ska, Boyswitch is here to make you gay and shake up the world. With a sold out first show in January 2024, the band has been busy performing, writing and recording music. Boyswitch has shared the stage with iconic bands like Trap Girl, Destroy Boys, Commando, and Fatale. You may have seen them play sold out shows at Thee Stork Club and the Independent, or witnessed their queer debauchery on the live music stage at Folsom Street Fair. This unapologetically transgender band is making waves in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and is gearing up for recording in the new year.Queer Without Fear features six songs that will get you dancing, moshing, and feeling sexy. The songs were recorded and produced in Oakland, California by Elke Gentile. The songs aim to be outside of the norm and bring out the true raw experiences of trans two spirit T-boys surviving on Huichin Ohlone land. The vinyl also features an unreleased version of “T-Boy”.The band fuses high energy on stage and paired with the power of the lyrics, calls everyone in for movement in their bodies. Some of the songs are prayer songs, and others about living as a queer person in society without fear. This project is a prayer to the community, trans youth, and to loved ones.

Lost Goat

The Dirty Ones

De Twah Records

***Behold! Lost Goat’s fourth and final album The Dirty Ones is now available on vinyl!Originally released in 2001 by Tee Pee Records on CD format only, this atom-smashing fusion of Metal, Blues, Doom and Psychedelic riffs can now be experienced in the format it was always intended to be heard... on the sweet sound of vinyl.Lost Goat was birthed in 1994 in the SF Bay Area underground music scene. It was a golden age before the distractions of smart phones and social media prevailed; when in-real-life and tangible experiences were all that existed. Epic rock shows happened daily in every smoky bar, club, and in basements and warehouses all around the Bay Area. In these spaces Punks, Crusties, Metalheads, and Freaks commingled, and all were welcome. Out of this stew of musical influences, alchemy happened, and Lost Goat was born, creating a sound that was uniquely their own.The band would spend the next eight years recording and releasing four albums, three 7” records, and tour with bands like High On Fire, Neurosis, Unsane, L7, Dead Moon, and many other luminaries of heavy rock music at that time.However, all things must come to an end, and so in 2003, Lost Goat disbanded when Erica Stolz decided to move back to her home in NYC. The band members would remain close and go on to pursue other professional and musical endeavors. And in that same time, significant world events and new technologies would occur forever transforming the way of life and music...

Split Apex

Thoughts In 3D

Ever / Never

***80% of the planet’s oceans remain unexplored by humans. The vastness, extreme pressure, cold temperatures and darkness of the underwater depths make it incredibly difficult to explore. New York independent record label Ever/Never Records has a solution—send Split Apex to traverse and survey the liquid expanse that covers the greater part of the Earth. What could go wrong? Unlike the crew who manned the ill- fated Titan submersible, the two members of Split Apex—Jussi Palmusaari (guitar, electronics, percussion) and Peter Blundell (voice, bass)—will navigate the oceanic abyss as if they were born to it. Split Apex makes music that thrives under pressure, a sonar- equipped manta ray that plunges so deep it emerges into an alien landscape few humans have witnessed. In other words, Split Apex leads listeners into unchartered waters and reveals sounds yet unheard.Split Apex formed in Autumn 2024 and quickly entered a sustained period of rehearsing and recording in Croydon, South London. Palmusaari came to London from his native Finland, where he played with Preesens during the late ‘90s and early 2000s. As for Blundell, Split Apex exists in a continuum that began with innovative beyond-rock trio Mosquitoes which led to his current work in Komare with Dominic Goodman (also from Mosquitoes). Following a self-released cassette earlier in 2025, Ever/Never commits Split Apex’s vinyl debut—Thoughts In 3D—to wax and it’s a late-breaking entry into the best album of the year conversation. Across five extended tracks, Split Apex roams the depths with unerring grace, sending up transmissions as...

***Life ain’t so pretty sometimes, especially with immigration goons marching through the streets of CEMENTO’s native Los Angeles on the hunt to ruin peaceful lives of its core communities. Community is a beautiful thing. When people come together and create a space worth inhabiting be it through art, food, music, or love, community enriches everyone’s lives. Cemento has focused its energy doing just that by writing their most expansive and provocative material yet. Bad Dream Songs is different. Raw, pure, and unapologetic yet unconventional goth infused post-punk that takes a hard look at the gray areas of an otherwise black and white existence.Cemento do not exist to merely play songs or occupy idle time. They are a family, able to witness and revel in the creative process, seeing each other bloom into better musicians while getting to be around each other laughing and feeling the same euphoric feeling of combined growth and achievement. “That’s what drives us, living in the moment… together.” Now it’s time for you to live too.350 on black 150gr vinyl housed in a 24pt reverse board jacket with insert included.

Stillman, Robert

10,000 Rivers

Orindal

***Robert Stillman didn’t set out to make a concept album about Steve Jobs. But as a composer and improviser whose music asks questions about his relationship with reality, a curiosity about the promises and follies of technology took him there.Following an intuitive path from James Bridle’s acclaimed book on non-human intelligence Ways of Being to the seminal 1995 essay “The California Ideology”, Stillman arrived at Walter Isaacson’s biography of Apple founder Steve Jobs – and what would become the catalyst for his new album.“10,000 Rivers points to an alternative narrative about a man who is tormented by the instability of his reality, so tries to invent his way out of it,” Stillman explains. “Ultimately, his tech designs become expressions of his will to replace the messy, disordered, temporary nature of the world with something that strives to be barely physical: streamlined, symmetrical, uncomplicated, and deathless.”Highly original, wholly unclassifiable, 10,000 Rivers is part cultural critique, part sonic biography and takes the form of a series of songs, instrumentals and abstract soundscapes that respond directly to moments or paradigms from Jobs’ life.Stylistically, it leans on Stillman’s relationship with the smooth music of Billy Ocean, Gloria Estefan and 10cc from the ‘80s and early ‘90s, made at what he calls “the knife’s edge between the human and the digital.”

Winged Wheel

Desert So Green

12xu

***“So, how did this band even happen?” That’s the question most often asked of Winged Wheel, a creatively and geographically scattered collective who have somehow congregated to make a noise that’s unexpected but undeniable. The band includes Whitney Johnson (Matchess, Circuit des Yeux), Cory Plump (Spray Paint, co-owner of the dream venue Tubby’s), Matthew J. Rolin (solo guitar wizard and half of the Powers/Rolin Duo), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth), Lonnie Slack, and Fred Thomas (Idle Ray, Tyvek), each player living in a different city and bringing their own unique element to the group’s chain reactions. Early long distance file-trading between a few members yielded 2022’s No Island, a debut album that was accidentally really good. Good enough for the band to expand their membership and meet in person for the sessions that became 2024’s Big Hotel, a surgically-assembled murk of high energy kosmische rock with jammed-out tendencies. Fast forward just a little and all of a sudden the band that started out as a passing idea has completed multiple tours, become a taper’s dream with sets that drift through structure and improvisation, and ridden the momentum to places unforeseen on their third album, Desert So Green.After a run of shows across the Midwest in the spring of 2025, the group settled into a studio on the outskirts of Chicago to track their next record. Though the full lineup had only been solidified for a little over a year at this point, time together on stage led to a quickly-expanding sound...

Arson

Burning Future

General Speech

***Burning Future is the debut EP by NYC's ARSON. Perfecting their sound and energy over the last 2 years in the way of a truly hard working band, every gig feels and sounds better than the last. This record is no exception, a marked improvement over their early demos, and one which reflects the intensity of their live performances. Stylistically comparable to bands like Extreme Noise Terror and many of the early crust bands rooted more in the hardcore end, and less of the metal end of the crust spectrum, but ARSON cranks up the noise to deafening levels. For fans of Gloom, Ferocious X, Zyanose, etc. 5 original songs and a Gloom cover.

Dust Collector

s/t

General Speech

***Dust Collector from Los Angeles have taken their time crafting a modern masterpiece. The result is 12 tracks of Disorder, Chaos UK, Gai, Swankys, and Confuse influenced noisepunk perfection. Where so many bands just crank the noise up as loud as possible, and pump out quick pogo inducing songs, Dust Collector have paid close attention to detail creating songs that are unique, memorable, have perfect production, and do justice to the bands that influenced them. Very much in the spirit of noisy bands like Lebenden Toten, Dust Collector seems to be focused on a recipe that is total quality over quantity, with no cut corners. If you are a fan of raw but catchy hardcore punk from any era, this LP has set the bar to a new height.
