SUBMARINE RACES - 'HARD TO LOOK AT, EASY TO SEE'

Formats

• ITR159 - LP W/ CD

  759718515916

Details

"Watching the submarine races" is a euphemism for making out (and more) in a car. It's the kind of thing a cop would say to be funny when he knocks on the fogged-up window of your Chevy parked in back of the Safeway to ask what you're doing there at 1:00 a.m. This Submarine Races is a three-piece from Chicago, Illinois, fronted by Ian Adams, formerly of The Ponys and Happy Supply. The Submarine Races play spiky art pop that displays Adams's love for literate UK post-punk as well as the simple but sublime songs of The Easybeats and '60s girl groups. The group is powered by Adams's serpentine melodies, 12-string Rickenbacker leads, and adenoidal vocals, which blend the elegantly wasted plaints of the Only Ones' Peter Perrett and the nervy quaver of the Violent Femmes' Gordon Gano. Bassist Steve Denekas and drummer Paul John Higgins give a jolt to Adams's originals, which are marked by his lovelorn lyrics. On Hard To Look At, Easy To See, the band's second album, the Submarine Races deliver thirteen tracks that rock harder and are even more infectious than their debut. Adams's pop chops have never been sharper and his anglophile leanings recall the best tunes of Monochrome Set or Pastels. Denekas chips in with a lacerating garage free-forall, "Let It Go," and the disc even includes a cover of pipe organ magician Korla Pandit's "Harem Bells." LP comes with CD version included.

THE DEAD C - 'DR503 + SUN STABBED EP'

Formats

• BING060 - 2xLPs

Details

The first in a series of Dead C reissue collaborations between Jagjaguwar and Ba Da Bing, the band's two Flying Nun releases, DR503 and Eusa Kills, have been pressed on vinyl for the first time in years, each along with bonus material. Originally released in 1987, DR503 sounded like nothing that came before-a furious pastiche of unrelenting drones, noise and menace. It didn't fit in with the other bands on Flying Nun, the arbiter of the time for all that mattered in New Zealand rock, and it immediately staked a fork in the road, dividing the "New Zealand Pop Sound" from its black sheep brother, "New Zealand Noise." Today, the record still sounds as vicious and vital as when it first went to vinyl, except now perhaps there will be more people ready to appreciate the innovative approach the band took some 21 years ago. This release includes the rare Sun Stabbed EP from the same recording period with bonus tracks not on the original 7-inch. Super deluxe, heavy vinyl, stoughton sleeves, we arnt getting many, no returns on these...dont be greedy.

THE DEAD C - 'EUSA KILLS + HELEN SAID THIS'

Formats

• BING061 - 2xLPs

  600197006115

Details

Eusa Kills, from 1989, is The Dead C's second Flying Nun album. Considered by many to be their "songs" record, Eusa Kills adds ominous aggression to the abstract sounds of their time-those being created by such luminaries as Dustdevils, This Kind of Punishment, and Dadamah. Sneering vocals drift over improvised melodies and unstructured rock songs. One can hear the direct influence The Dead C had on Sonic Youth at the time-mining deep into the underbelly of music to yield a truly intense and unparalleled sound. This reissue also contains as a bonus record the rare Helen Said This 12-inch originally released by Siltbreeze. Limited, we get 50! heavy vinyl, deluxe (trust us here) stoughton gatefold sleeves..

Tracks

LP1 ? Eusa Kills
1. Scarey Nest 2. Call Back Your Dogs 3. Alien To Be 4. Phantom Power 5. Now I Fall

COUNTRY TEASERS / EZEE TIGER - 'W.O.A.R. / W.O.A.'

Formats

• HOLY7822140116 - LP

  N/A

Details

Vinyl only release from Holy Mountain: Anthony Ezee Tiger is this one-man band dude from Michigan. He also plays in Paik, but his Butthole Surfers-esque solo shows convinced more than one guy that he's a for-real fucking powerhouse. On his side of this split, he takes one-man plod and somehow turns on the Health and Efficiency vibe without encouraging a bunch of vegans or non-smokers to give their opinions. And then it all of a sudden bangs down into a little pop song. Who wants ice cream? Country Teasers have twelve songs on their side. They might have thought it was a Fall record, but since the Nimbus plant closed, no one could really cram that much tunage on one side of a record-until now! Ben Wallace and company not only keep banging the door and plinking and plonking, but get cozy enough to make you feel that the whole cowboy hat thing's not a fluke.

?... a pandemonium of murky feedback, speaker-thrashing guitar
and bass riffs, and slurred vocals. Ezee?s blossoming walls of
sound consume each other whole, belching out the byproducts
through trash-bin electronics. And yet somehow it all comes together
with catchy melodies that threaten to lodge dangerously
long in your memory.? ?The Stranger

WOOO YEAH!!!! In The Red brings more garage jangle noise our way....Green Bay, Wisconsin's Mystery Girls were mere teenagers when they started out. Now in their early/mid-20s, the boys (er, Girls) have delivered their most cohesive work yet on their third album, Incontinopia. It's unclear what Incontinopia means but it's a good bet that copious amounts of marijuana smoke were involved in choosing it. Recorded a couple years ago, Incontinopia has sat on the shelf while the band relocated and readjusted. Like a fine wine, Incontinopia has aged beautifully-its sound is rich, full, and earthy. Adding a dose of psych weirdness to their patented garage-punk-R&B sound has resulted in the band's finest moment. Vocalist Casey Grajek's raw-throated vocals have never sounded more powerful and guitarists Jordan Davis and Mount Mathieu D'Congo's dueling solos harken back to the MC5 and Yardbirds. This is great stuff that sounds immediately classic. Culled from several sessions and stacks of recording tape, Incontinopia was assembled by bassist/drummer Mike Zink, whose abstract approach to editing has given the album a weirdness that brings to mind Head-era Monkees colliding with Funhouse-era Stooges. Yep, Nesmith meets Asheton-it's that good! The Mystery Girls have laid low the past couple of years but upon the release of Incontinopia that will change. The band plans on a full US tour to be followed up by a swing through Western Europe. Be sure to catch them when they hit your town-bands this good don't come around very often.

BLACKOUT BEACH - 'SKIN OF EVIL'

Formats

• SAB31CD - CD

  656605955926

Details

Blackout Beach is the solo nom de guerre of Carey Mercer (FROG EYES/SWAN LAKE). Skin of Evil is remarkable in the sense that a. it contains a story, and b. that it sticks to the story; a rare occurrence in these free times. "Donna" is the subject, and each of her lovers (past & present) say their peace in song (Donna gets her song, too). Composed, played & recorded entirely by Mercer alone, these songs revel in the proto-punk darkness of the heady Cleveland axis (e.g. Peter Laughner, David Thomas) with a minimal, textural & almost Suicide-ish sense of pop form & the experimental nature of contemporary Scott Walker works.

ULAAN KHOL - 'II'

Formats

• SAB32CD - CD

  656605878126

Details

All heavy with warmth & mystery, Ulaan Khol returns with another round of vertical incantations aimed at the heavens. As Ulaan Khol, STEVEN R. SMITH (Hala Strana, Thuja, Mirza) creates dense tapestries that revel in the eternal & infinite. The bursts of tones & grip on formal structures can compare to the best of Hototogisu or Handful of Dust, though filtered through an ample dose of Ash Ra Tempel. Supreme while discreet, these songs carry a sense of unnerving calm & optimistic gloom, often within a single composition. Swaths of heavy feedback cascade against sinister organ workouts & varied percussion that's at times pounding & at others distant.

Details

The WitchDoktors 3rd Album release '$3 Hooker' sees them take their kick-ass SuperPunkRockTM sound a giant step forward ? a primal Rock 'n' Roll cocktail of whizzed up 70's punk rock attitude, a full sassy measure of trash-a-billy, a dash of fuzzed-out 60's garage and a bitter twist of country. Serve cold, over ice and accompanied by some god-damned loud guitars, their latest release captures the essence of their live shows in a superbly honed studio album brought to life in Sarf London's Gravity Shack/Perry Vale Studios by Mr Pat Collier and Ms Jessica Corcoran. Hundreds of live shows, UK tours & European performances have seen them blast out their SuperPunkRockTM with the likes of The Fleshtones, The Revillos, The Woggles, Phantom Surfers, The Damned, The Saints, Sick Rose, ? and the Mysterions, Man or Astroman?, Dogs D'Amour, Goldblade, Wreckless Eric, Dr Feelgood, Buzzcocks Vince Ray & The Boneshakers blah blah blah! From out there rockers "Movie Star", "Faithless" and "Told You To Go", to the twangtastic garage-country murder ballad of "Big Black Sack", to the surfed up instro-mentality of "Knucklebones" and the r-r-r-rockabilly infused "Common Prayer" and "Swamp Baby" this long player is a sure-fire hit?You know it makes sense! File Under: KickAss, Primal, Sassy, Pop Tarts(!), SuperPunkRockTM!
