Featured Album: Gimme Gimme Gimme- Reinterpreting Black Flag

"Gimme Gimme Gimme is an interesting concept: take well-known and much loved noise punk gut blasts from the first five years of Black Flag’s existence (the most fondly thought of period, before Greg Ginn began thinking his music sounded better slower) and translate them into country, surf, blues, and other old timey genres that didn’t show much growth beyond the 1960s. Instead of getting some professional barroom minstrels or some university-trained Generation Y hipsters to do it, the producers of this project knocked on the doors of some SST-era indie figureheads — former band members Dez Cadena, Keith Morris, and Kira Roessler, punk bassist extraordinaire Mike Watt, and long lost Joe Biaza of Saccharine Trust fame. Oh, and for the uber ’80s college rock aficionados and Valley Girlenthusiasts, Peter Case shows up, too."

New vinyl! Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

From Paste Magazine: "Hysterical opens undeniably strong. “Same Mistake” is a jam of epic proportions, complete with noticeable “The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth”-esque drums and guitar line, and the spacey guitars on first single “Hysterical” lend an otherworldy vibe to Ounsworth’s paranoid ramblings. The singer sounds clearer and on most of Hysterical’s other tracks, the fuzz and friction are vintage Clap Your Hands."

From Pretty Much Amazing: "A herald of jangly guitars comes stampeding over the hills and skids to a halt in front of you, breathlessly announcing the imminent arrival of royalty. Before you know what’s happening, there’s a terrific explosion of a dance beat, and synthesisers rain down from the sky, thudding into the wet ground around your feet...Hysterical is beautiful in its vulnerability. It may be anthemic and slick, but it never feels dishonest, instead sounding as if the band has finally decided which direction to take."

Featured Album: She & Him Vol. 2

In stock on vinyl and deeelightful! 

She & Him is Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward making wonderfully tuneful retro-licious melodies together. She & Him could be considered a throwback in terms of the music, but the oh-so-modern lyrics give it a little edge upon further listen. I've enjoyed both Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 quite a bit.

Nothing, however, is better than Miss Zooey and Will Ferrell singing in Elf!!

Featured Album: Cults/Cults

In stock on vinyl! 

"Cults is fun, strangely deep, and endlessly familiar."

-Prettymuchamazing.com

"Shrouded in the mystery of their infectious indie pop, Cults‘ self-titled debut will sweep you off to an era of sultry girl groups and 60′s pop. Cults is certainly a strong debut, filled with lusty, romantic tracks heavy in sinister lyrics."
