***Jaguar 777, the seductive and primal music and performance act formed by artists Kacie Marie and Emmett O’Connor (Archie and the Bunkers), is thrilled to release their highly anticipated first full-length album. Described as a dangerous duo fueled by lust-ridden croons and primitive rhythms on the fringes of gloomy nightlife, Jaguar 777 crafts sex-soaked soundtracks that blend leather-and-velvet edge with raw intensity. This 21st-century Bonnie & Clyde will move you, shake you, and haunt your dreams. Jaguar 777 fuses raw rock 'n' roll roots with psychedelic harmonies, brought to life through primitive mono 45s and sultry cinematic visuals. Renowned RnR overlord King Khan has praised their sound as “Suicide meets Link Wray with Jayne Mansfield singin’!” Limited edition of 300 copies.

***"There is a scene in the BBC Krautrock documentary that made a great impression on me. Iggy Pop sits spread eagle in some beachside location drilling holes in coconuts and ruminating on the sound of Neu. The clash of the visual spectacle and the subject matter infected my dreams. At one point he describes Neu as 'pastoral psychedelicism'.I thought of that moment when Buz first played me the demo for the song which would become 'Heat', when first he asked me to play music with him. I heard it, smelled the fresh coconut juice and the sour sweat on Iggy's leathery hide. I knew that we would do it right.I moved to Sydney at the end of 2022. It was toward the end of two years of Melbourne lockdown that started in the immediate wake of the Total Control tour of Japan at the end of 2019 and was the longest time in 20 years that I had not travelled overseas or played music.After moving to Sydney I had an overwhelming need to start a new band and sing again. Total Control and Straightjacket Nation would be difficult to gather any momentum with my living interstate, and also I wanted to settle here and start something new and try and obliterate some of the stasis that entered my veins from the lockdown.Low Life asked me to play a solo show with Iceage at the opera house, but I had no ambitions for solo performance and had no songs, so I...

***Ile de Garde isn't just a clever pun paying homage to the blessed German mystic and jack-of-all-trades, Hildegarde Von Bingen It's the name chosen by three women freshly signed to Born Bad / Carpaccio Cathédrale, who came bearing gifts: six synth-wave tracks based on a drum/keyboard/spoken word line-up. It won't be for everyone, and that's just as well. More of a narrator than a singer, Klara Coudrais performs the lyrics, embodies characters, and puts on a show, in French and in English. Controlled and clinical anger, putting facts in order, whether it's settling scores with some violent bloke or scrutinize a couple on the path to a breakup—Sylvia Plath meets Diamanda Galás, heckling the audience gently. It sometimes flirts with singing, with reinforcement coming up as backing vocals. Neither John nor Karen Carpenter, Cécile Aurégan layers synths to produce dense, enveloping soundscapes. It's a full starter-main-dessert, but the trio has a strong stomach. Morgane Poulain peacefully taps away at her drums. Track after track, no-frills post-post punk for your ears, with a few surprises. Ile de Garde takes the floor, body-wise. Rage Blossom is a beginning, and you have to be there.

***LP version. Abdou El Omari was born in 1945 in Tafraout, south of Agadir—a village suspended between the pink granite peaks of the Anti-Atlas and the waves of the Atlantic. A landscape already musical in itself. He grew up in the dry mountain light, surrounded by the rhythms of nature and Berber's culture. Very little is known about the man—a veil of mystery still surrounds his life, only deepening the fascination. In the 1970s, as Morocco was transforming, Abdou El Omari shaped a sound of his own—a visionary blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelic funk, Moroccan traditions, and early electronic experimentation. Today, his work is resurfacing, rediscovered by a new generation of listeners in search of lost horizons. This record stands among its rarest and most precious fragments. At twenty-two, he founded his first group, Les Fugitifs, which gained him local fame. Soon after, he released records and cassettes on labels such as Cléopâtre, Hassania, Boussiphone, Hilali, and his own, Al Awtar, while performing on RTM (national radio and television). He also composed for artists like Naima Samih, Laila Ghofran, and Aicha El Waad. In 1976, through the label Gam, he released his only vinyl album, Nuits d'été—a record that would become cult decades later, reissued in 2017 by Radio Martiko. In the 1980s, his music grew quieter, more secret. He tried to recover his old tapes from the studios he had recorded in, but gradually withdrew from the scene and returned to hairdressing. A pioneer of musical fusion, he opened...

***Black Tape II is only the second widely available release by Ohkami No Jikan (The Time of the Wolf), one of the more esoteric groups of the 1990s Tokyo underground. Recorded in 1992, it illuminates a largely undocumented facet of Nanjo Asahito's psychedelic cosmology, distinct from his better-known work with High Rise, Musica Transonic, and Toho Sara. Aside from a handful of limited, handmade cassettes and CD-Rs on his La Musica label, there's only been one Ohkami No Jikan album, Mort Nuit, that made it beyond the collector inner circle. One of Nanjo's longest-running, most mysterious outfits, Ohkami No Jikan's conceptualization—as a psych outfit "that explores 'stasis' and 'motion,' both actively and philosophically"—hints at the intensity of the music here. There's a pellucid beauty to much of Black Tape II, with the simplest, most erotically charged chord changes descending from the heavens, Nanjo moaning consumptively as the songs slip by in an acid daze. The 1992 line-up here, with Asai Fumiyo on bass and Nagao Kouji on drums, was one of many variations of Ohkami No Jikan; simultaneously languorous and heavy, at times pushed into the red with arcing blasts of feedback, the group feels cosmically aligned with Nanjo's purity of vision. Housed in a custom die-cut, "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic ink, spot finishes and matching La Musica inner sleeve.

Music in Continuous Motion, Bill Orcutt’s latest entry into his 21st-century repertoire of quartet guitar music, pointedly steps away from the cut-and-paste constructivism of Music for Four Guitars into a sonic stratum that's yearningly melodic, resolutely human, and built for performance. Conceived for a 2026 NYC concert, Music in Continuous Motion shares the concision of its predecessor—but rather than the discrete, mechanistic precision of Music for Four Guitars, the tracks on Music in Continuous Motion unify—each song weaving four gleaming threads into the warp and weft of an evolving, complex texture that employs simple, repeating motifs to build new melodies from counterpoint itself. It accomplishes this in the most efficient manner possible: most of these 12 tracks hover around two-and-a- half minutes, each iterating first the substrate, then the melody and its variations, then slamming shut like a clockwork music box.Based on previous recorded evidence, Orcutt is fond of boundary conditions for his studio guitar records. Much of the time, his launchpad is obvious (The Four Louies, How to Rescue Things); with others, it’s intentionally obscured. When recruiting me to write about each release, he might send me a clue (“This is a bridge pickup record more than a neck pickup record,” Orcutt helpfully offered for Music for Four Guitars). Although any given dispatch is a potential red herring, up until now, each has implied an Oulipian conceit (however obtuse) that at least somewhat determines the outcome. Thus, I was a bit surprised by his statement on Music in Continuous...

***Following an EP and several singles, Brooklyn-based punk band Shop Talk delivers a full-length album. The band's self-titled LP was recorded in Nashville with Stiff Little Fingers tech / Sleeveens bassist James Mechan behind the boards. The LP is the product of an immersive five-day session at Mechan's residential studio, and it harnesses the power of Shop Talk's live show with minimal overdubs. It's a snapshot of this hardworking New York group on the heels of their summer tour, and half-delirious in the Tennessee heat. These songs have the emotional intensity of a fever dream—partly because Mechan and the band were running moderate-grade fevers during tracking. Listen well, but don't get too close. Recommended for fans of: X, The Adverts, Nick Cave, The Pretenders, The Damned, etc.

***From the ashes of SEMTEX 87 come GUNNER, a negative hardcore unit who treat their existence as a series of maneuvers with an unknown end goal. “An exercise in discipline and power.” Hardcore, dissonance and physicality underlines every move. Nothing without purpose. Where it will end is anyone’s guess though. The world is uncertain and filled with pain. Society cracks the psyche. Life has little quality.Similar to Semtex 87, whose impetus was informed by the movements of a deranged man rampaging around town in a stolen tank on a revenge kick, Gunner too finds abstract inspiration from a Perth local, an inwardly tortured man with a penchant for vice and suicidal ideation, that one of the band members regularly encountered at his night job. “There is a sense of being forced to apprehend the world with the tools one has been given, and sometimes those instruments are blunt and fractured to begin with. What separates us is much less than what we might imagine it to be, and what separates us from Society is much greater than we can tolerate comfortably. Necessarily, I think it is in that gap of psychosocial discomfiture that we make what we make.”500 copies on black 70gr vinyl housed in a 12pt reverse board glued pocket sleeve with A4 insert included.

Eleven sizzling tracks from rare singles recorded for Gaiety Records, the indie label formed by Don Grashey and Lloyd Palmer, and active from 1961-1969. Formed by Don Grashey and Lloyd Palmer in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Gaiety Records was an outlet for many relatively obscure but excellent Canadian garage and rock bands during its existence. They released their own singles as well as sub-licensing material to other labels, such as RCA (49th Parallel), Columbia (Jarvis Street Revue and Souls of Inspyration), Decca, Epic, Musicor, and others. Features the Checkerlads, White Knights, Tomorrow's Keepsake, Lexington Avenue, NRG, Solid Reputation, and the Plague, including their face melter, ‘Face of Time’ and the essential psych classic ‘High Flyin’ Bird’.

Twelve tough tracks by the Checkerlads, White Knights, Tomorrow's Keepsake, NRG, and Solid Reputation. The Gaiety roster was rich in talent (the 49th Parallel, Jarvis Street Review, and Souls of Inspyration, not to mention the Checkerlads, White Knights, Dewline, Tomorrow's Keepsake, NRG, Merriday Park, and Portland Street South) — but it was not rich in resources, which is why these singles are as relatively unknown as they are even today.

***First time on vinyl for these incendiary hard psych rock tracks, which made their only other appearance in Australia in 1999 on CD as part of the “Sky Pilot” compilation released by Camera Obscura Records.With each passing year since his death, the intense and inspiring musical legacy of Jesus Acedo is in danger of slipping into darkness. That’s where we at Lion Productions come in — together with Rich Hopkins and San Jacinto Records — to do our utmost to keep the Lambent Flame burning, so to speak. All of the music on “Whirlpool Ocean” originates from the troubled and bizarre sessions for the album Acedo made under the name Black Sun Legion — and then destroyed, when his struggles with schizophrenia overwhelmed him. Fortunately, Hopkins had the masters, or this LP would not exist today, and some of Acedo’s most brilliant music would be lost. Happily, not the case. We have this album and other recordings of Acedo's through which to remember and admire his genius.

***DIMENSION is back with a lean, mean hardcore machine of raw simplicity. ‘Fight Another Day’ deals with the internal and external battles against the destructive forces of contemporary life in the United States. And with that message, they carry the torch of fast 80s USHC, meaning short songs with hooks that get the job done without overstaying their welcome. The hope for the record is to leave the listener with a desire to fight through the bullshit rather than falling into despair. Following the 2023 demo, DIMENSION took their time with writing this EP and tried to trim the fat as much as possible without overworking the songs, wanting it to sound as “live” and natural as possible.

The lyrics point to the bleak moments lived in this modern era of genocide and warfare such as Palestinians, Rohingya, Uyghur, Sudanese and this list goes on etc. Though some may find its production muddy and vocals alienating, they have created a divisive but revered experience for dedicated underground metal fans by blending raw black metal with death/doom, hardcore punk and ambient textures. ‘Black Phosphorous Dungeon’ stands out for its unique, ritualistic atmosphere and deep-tuned, fuzzed guitars that create a crushing, immersive feel.500 on black 140gr vinyl housed in a 24pt jacket with lyrics insert included.

***Deep in Cyber Aztlán, Grupo Jejeje emerged in 2014 out of a shared fascination with the darker sonic undercurrents within cumbia. Mexican-American producer Turbo Sonidero, alongside Persian-British producer Arrabalero are Grupo Jejeje aka Los Místicos de la Kumbia digging deep into the cumbia universe in search of esoteric sounds from short-lived labels, synth-driven melodies from Puebla, and loop- and sample-based kumbias editadas from San Luis Potosi.Grupo Jejeje’s music filters these sounds through their own unique immigrant experiences. While Turbo Sonidero grew up as a Mexican-American in San José’s Latino East Side in the shadow of technophilic Silicon Valley, Arrabalero came of age in London surrounded by classical and popular Persian music. In Cyber Aztlán, a reimagination of the mythical Aztec ancestral land, Grupo Jejeje soundtracks cosmic encounters between Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Meso-American cultures. After years of sharing song sketches and collaborating online, Turbo Sonidero and Arrabalero met in person in Oaxaca and Tepotzlán to work on and finalize their music together in 2018.In July 2018, Grupo Jejeje and Discos Rolas traveled to Mexico City and met with legendary artist Jamie Ruelas. Beginning in the early 1980s, Ruelas revolutionized flyer art and logos for the Mexico’s largest and most important sound systems—Polymarchs, La Changa among others. His hand-drawn imagery of space travel, sexy cyborgs, and massive sound systems defines the visual aesthetic of Mexico’s sound system culture. It is an honor to collaborate with Jaime Ruelas on the album artwork of our first release. 2019 release.

***Discos Rolas presents Puebla's Grupo Soñador for the first time on vinyl. Founded in 1998 by brothers Beto and Richie Tlahuetl in Cholula, Puebla, the group released one self-titled album as Noche Latina before renaming themselves. Grupo Soñador is renowned for pioneering cumbia in Puebla with their keyboard and synth-heavy regional take on cumbia sonidera (cumbia sound system). Grupo Soñador pushes the sound of cumbia sonidera, a style created by DJs in Mexico City who dramatically slowed down records from Colombia, Peru, and elsewhere in South America and dubbed them with personalized greetings (shout-outs). Cumbia from Puebla tends to draw more from cumbia styles from Ecuador and Peru—more keyboards and synths, less accordion—than Colombia, which the best reference for Mexico City.Grupo Soñador gained regional, national, and international recognition with their second album Camino al Cielo (2000) featuring their first sonidero hits “Cumbia de la Cerveza,” “Camino al Cielo” and “La Cumbia de las Botellas.” In 2001 Grupo Soñador's El Paso del Gigante exploded into the sonidero universe, propelling them on their tour in the United States where they played to sold-out crowds of thousands. They continue to compose, perform, and tour and the band now includes Beto's two daughters. 2021 release.

Thank you to my parents Esther Zepeda Dominguez and Ramon Zepeda for all their sacrifices. S/O to El Rancho Verde and Las Casitas Apartments.Hua Hsu writes in the New Yorker, “Lowrider culture dates to the nineteen-forties, when young Mexican Americans in Los Angeles began lowering their cars to cruise in style. Starting in the sixties and seventies, the sound for these slow, styled-out crawls through the city was the oldie, whether it was the blissful harmonies of soul music or doo-wop. "Lowrider Kumbias” is the San Jose producer Turbo Sonidero’s contemporary tribute to the music he heard while growing up. Just as his forebears tinkered with the hydraulics of their classic American cars, he retrofits classics like Gene Chandler’s “Duke of Earl” or Brenton Wood’s “Baby You Got It” with modern parts, in this case electro-Cumbia riddims. His work is cross-generational take on pride, what it means to have soul, and what it means to bounce." 2022 release.

***Cold Spring marks a decade since the label first released COIL's landmark album Backwards, with a special 10-year anniversary vinyl reissue. After the groundbreaking release of 1990's Love's Secret Domain album, Coil were not dormant; their main project was Backwards, which was started in 1992, updated considerably between 1993 and 1995, and transferred in 1996 to New Orleans, where it was finished in the magic of the Nothing Studios of TRENT REZNOR (Nine Inch Nails). The album saw the fruition of JHONN BALANCE's recent vocal-coaching, which produced haunting, passionate vocals while reaching new heights. Now, in 2015, 23 years after its initiation, these tracks have been beautifully preserved by DANNY HYDE and are finally available in highest quality audio. Differing substantially from the later, remixed incarnation, The New Backwards (2008), Backwards contains the original versions of Coil's much-loved tracks "A Cold Cell" and "Fire of the Mind," which have appeared on various compilations over the years, and are now presented as originally intended. This album is the essential bridge between LSD and the later Musick to Play in the Dark series. It is an essential conduit, to understand the journey that was taken. 180g heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold matte-laminate sleeve with silver detail.

***A collection of intimate songs traced from the spectral darkness by Nanjo Asahito, the notorious leader of some of Japan's key underground psychedelic units (High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara, etc.) Recorded between 1980 and 1988 and previously only available in a cassette micro-edition released by his La Musica Records label in the mid-1990s. Remastered and available for the first time on vinyl and digital. From the original La Musica cassette notes: "A compilation of secret projects recorded over a period of twenty years. Deeply personal music that achieves a strange balance between beat folk balladry and off-key mumbling. Suggestive self-celebratory music conceived as a confirmation of existence." A lesser-known side of Nanjo Asahito—if all you know of his work is the overloaded, intensified psych-rock and free-sound of his group projects then the solo songs on M gently redraw the contours of Nanjo's private universe. There's something gem-like in the way these five songs are formed, even as they accrue grit and dirt while drifting out of the speakers. Here, Nanjo grabs handfuls of gentle chord changes, allows them to rotate in the air, suspended in reverb, flickering in half-light, as he murmurs drowsy melodies. The closing "Eucharist" pushes everything through a thin layer of distortion; elsewhere, tinkling piano, from guest Matsuoka Takashi, who also performed with Keiji Haino's Nijiumu, disturbs dust molecules to dance through hazy air.

***Scarcely heard 1983 demo from this obscure LA hardcore punk outfit. Not much is known about Immortals, beyond a few flyer appearances, but they played a brash, hard hitting brand of punk clearly influenced by British punk imports of the time. Thick guitars and a distinctively Colin GBH style vocal delivery coat the fist pumping motorcharged rhythms on this raw demo recording. Listening to a cut like "OK To Kill," you'd think this group could have built a legacy a la fellow Britcore obsessed Southern Californian groups like Final Conflict or Dr. Know, but alas, all we have to remember this group is this in-your-face recording.

***A bizarrely entrancing jewel from the depths of the Japanese underground, Doo Dah Nean was originally released in small run of hand assembled cassettes by the La Musica label in the late '90s. The album is the sole release and evidence of Nean, an entirely under-the-radar trio that crossed the sensual, disassociated female vocals of Japanese iroke kayōkyoku music with off-balance shamanic rhythm and echoing electronic rumble. Nean were the trio of Yui on bass and electronics, Naoko on voice, and Non on drums. Both Yui and Non were also part of Holy Angels, and Yui played with Ohkami No Jikan and Mauduit Nuit. Vocalist Naoko, in her lone recorded appearance anywhere, elevates the proceedings to peak outsider strangeness. Her ultra-repetitive chants and sighs balance childlike innocence with sinister knowing. Alternately distracted and humming to herself or delivering breathy, near field whispers, the simple juxtaposition of her vocalizations with Non's stumble-drunk drums, and the amorphous blobs and gloops of tone unleashed from Yui's instruments lands like an avant garde, proto-ASMR incantation. A truly confounding release in a La Musica catalogue that's not exactly thin on the ground for such form. Housed in die-cut "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic gold ink and soft touch finishes with printed inner sleeve. Vinyl pressed at RTI. Additional mastering by Timothy Stollenwerk, Stereophonic mastering lacquers by Phillip S. Rodriguez. Elysian masters executive produced by Peter Kolovos.

From the same recording sessions as Bézier’s first EP on Körperspannung records Negative Velocity, Contraption channels a few moods and scenarios.On the A-side "Contraption" is an insignificant droplet darting through the sky. Soon it joins a disarray of objects positioned above the atmosphere, maneuvers in formation to reveal randomized, decentralized nodes packed for mayhem.On the B-side Bézier shows a slice of his lived experience. Back in 2004 he used to go to house parties around East LA with friends they grew up with every weekend to listen to music. Winding through the Southern Californian roadway sprawl they’d drive 1/2 an hour to 1 hour on the I-10 (sometimes diverting to Route 60 if gridlock is expected) to get to the location, usually in a residential neighborhood. Being respectful of the communities and the struggle of the progenitors of this music, Bézier presents "Blue Halo" as an homage to that sound with a twist: Cumbia-Synth to provide a little sauce for your ears. Dave Easlick joins the milieu to provide a percussive framework for this tune.Lastly, "Bit by an Electric Wire" showcases Easlick’s drumming with an overlay from Bézier. As Dave rips and shreds through his drum kit the OCD machine living inside Yang’s brain switches on and organizes, collates and files that dataset into a hardcore rhythm track.

The EP by Bézier Negative Velocity sees the Californian artist (now for a few years a Berlin resident) initiate the launch of their new German-based record label Körperspannung.Bézier, whose career (since the early 00’s) spans close to two decades of focused, ground laying work: from lighting up the Honey Soundsystem collective’s bulbs to generating a steady pulse of releases on Josh Cheon’s Dark Entries records, has built a dynamic repertoire weaving a mosaic of influences across cultures, generations and spaces. A lifelong learner of music from an early age Robert Yang has been under constant calling to deploy music in an artful, stylish and meaningful way.For ‘Negative Velocity’, Bézier collaborated with Bay Area drummer and avant-garde musician Dave Easlick taking live recordings of him on a drum kit warping and wrapping his parts into curves and ellipses that project mappings outward into the atmosphere. From Easlick’s source material Bézier generates a technological, multi-dimensional landscape through mental manipulation of sound waves bending the fabric of time and space. For both the title track and on the B-side ‘Diabolical Embroidery’ the lattice work here involved sampling and resampling every hit and puncture from Easlick to atomize, pressurize, polish and disintegrate into fine particulate matter while reassembling parts back together fortifying the sonic tapestry further and further and further…‘Deep Sea State’ is an exercise showcasing the raw form of Easlick’s drumming but laced with an adamantium frame. Melodies from Bézier’s musical training past haunt the entire interlude.

The EP Echolocation sees the debut of a new German artist: Len.Leo.Originally from his hometown of Mainz, and now for a few years a Berlin resident, Len.Leo's Echolocation comes to Bézier's recently launched record label Körperspannung.In their shared concrete home inside Friedrichshain, Bézier and Len.Leo have built an immense production studio, in the heart of their apartment, around which they organize salons with friends and fam to cultivate dreams, new vocabulary to express wishes for the collective queer musical mosaic.Cut right from the cloth of a post-punk lineage, "Echolocation" burns and welds tracks into rails fitted for a high-speed lysergic bullet."Corrugation" is a subversive adventure into the wells of imagination weaving pulsating artifacts from an unknown era to craft sounds through atmospheric needlepoint.In "Radio Silence" cascading wings flutter through the diagrams of a sunken underground compound only to be discovered to be long abandoned, cut off from receiving transmissions for who knows how long?

Juan Ramos is up to bat for the next Körperspannung release with the four-track stunner EP Hard Bois. Deeply connected to the ongoing pursuit of gay excellence and endeavors, Juan honors those who have come before us and touches us deeply in our soft spots at all the right moments.Across Hard Bois EP, the Berlin resident and behind the scenes operator (IYKYK) shows precisely why he’s one of dance music’s most exciting and dependable prospects. Opening the release, "Hard Bois" combines snaking drums in a melange of samples with bff Kris Baha vocalizing sizzling and snaking lyrics winding around this propulsive club cut that could easily be a snapshot right out of a scene from Chicago’s iconic Medusa Club."Saviour Sound" is music that makes iron pipes sweat with hedonistic abandon. Exposed steel modulates to a hardcore beat. Gears interlock to move the whole building into autonomous shuffle. Conduits of electricity pulsate to the drama unfolding in a dim lit factory with dank corridors leading us on a path to a flowerbed growing and thriving in a subterranean hydroponic garden.On the flip, the alarm strikes and it’s (shout it out): "Werk Day"! This is your call to get buttoned up and ready to make dreams reality. Head to the gym, pump those guns and then house your body. Technological funk winding through a sturdy and rock hard kick that helps you ride through the chasms of pleasure and pain.Rounding out the release is your "Acid BB" rocking and roaring through the...

There's a tendency in metal to mistake aggression for honesty, volume for depth. To confuse the performance of darkness with its actual weight. Hidden Fires Burn Hottest, the new album from San Francisco-based post-black metal band Bosse-de-Nage, sidesteps this entirely. It’s the group’s most fully realized work yet, precisely because it refuses to be pinned down.Bosse-de-Nage have been working with The Flenser for over fifteen years. They were one of the first bands the label ever partnered with and have the longest active relationship in the label's history. But unlike most bands who build momentum through constant touring and visibility, Bosse-de-Nage has largely existed apart from the music world's usual machinery. They've evolved on their own terms, in relative isolation, allowing the work to develop without outside pressure or influence. What began rooted in black metal anonymity has mutated into something that actively defies categorization. The aggression is still there, but it's no longer the point.Hidden Fires Burn Hottest finds the band treating emotions like physical objects, feelings with spatial properties. “No Such Place" describes a space that can't exist but does anyway, somewhere between thought and location. "Immortality Project" examines infinite possibility not as promise but as problem, endless options collapsing under their own weight. These songs don't use metaphor to describe emotion. They make emotion into something you could theoretically touch.Tracked by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker) at Atomic Garden East and mixed and mastered by Richard Chowenhill of Agriculture, Hidden Fires Burn Hottest was years in development, with...

***Fort Not, the Swedish songwriting duo of Robert Carlsson and Fredrik Söderström, return with their new album You On Repeat on Meritorio Records. Joined by bandmates Philip Gates, David Hansson, and Joakim Björnberg, the group recorded the album over a hot summer weekend in a barn near Sweden’s west coast—an environment that left its mark on the record’s warmth, immediacy, and unfiltered charm.You On Repeat is a bittersweet indie pop record where jangly and distorted guitars, lo-fi textures, and disarming melodies meet. Rooted in a DIY spirit inspired by ’90s indie rock and classic pop songwriting, the album moves fluidly between noise and tenderness, urgency and ease, capturing a band equally attuned to raw emotion and crafted hooks. Long regarded as one of Sweden’s best-kept indie secrets—as praised by Swedish music magazine GAFFA—Fort Not are ready to step fully into the light. With You On Repeat, that secret is finally revealed.

***A reissue of the first two solo records from R.E. SERAPHIN on one LP.Tiny Shapes is paisley pop meets guitar-centric post-punk. R.E. Seraphin’s lyrical point-of-view is both cynical and sentimental—falling somewhere between The Replacements and The Feelies circa The Good Earth. Musically, jangly yet sturdy instrumentation collide with hushed vocals. This approach is best heard in opening cut “Today Will Be Kind”—a tune that offers a hopeful view of love gone sour. Engineered and co-produced by JASPER LEACH (Tony Molina) and mastered by MATT BULLIMORE (The Mantles), Tiny Shapes was written following a move from Austin to the Bay Area. While re-acclimating to life back in his hometown, Seraphin enlisted original Talkies rhythm section, OWEN KELLEY (SLEEPY SUN) and PHIL LANTZ (NEUTRALS, COCKTAILS) to help develop his songs.A Room Forever, featuring six acoustic-driven, but deeply melodic songs (including a cover by Luna), is every bit the small-scale rock triumph as its predecessor. Inspired by the southern gothic vignettes of Breece Pancake and the melodic guitar interplay of The La’s and Television, Seraphin recorded these songs in his home in one short spurt. Long-distance contributions from co-conspirators Owen Adair Kelley (Sleepy Sun), Matt Bullimore (The Mantles), and YEA-MING CHEN (YEA-MING & THE RUMORS) help elevate the tunes from homey demos to top notch pop. Edition of 100 copies.

***First ever reissue of the Berkeley CA hardcore batallion Special Forces' 1984 World Domination 12" EP coupled with 1983's 8 Songs To Kill By demo. Special Forces were a staple of Bay Area hardcore in the early 80s, gigging with all the major acts who came through town, such as Discharge, DRI, Misfits, Crucifucks, Fang... The list goes on. The group played a no frills, brash brand of USHC, perhaps most distinguished by their frantic, razor wire guitar strumming reminiscent of Feederz, Dead Kennedys or Italy's Peggio Punx. With sardonic lyrics taking aim at American militarism, Special Forces are a complete package for any early 80s USHC aficionado. And speaking of complete packages, this reissue includes tons of unseen photos and flyers, and of course the vinyl debut of the group's 1983 demo. What are you waiting for? Enlist today!

***Debut 7” from NYC’s Disket. Formed by members of Baby Shakes, Mala Vista, and Vaxine, Disket fuses the sounds of punk and powerpop to make an infectious and anthemic hook filled single. Harkening back to the late 70s era when punk records had no fat on them, a trimmed down double A side 7” you absolutely had to have before the album came out just in case that fantastic B-side didn’t end up on it.
