RESTOCK!! AND TIMELY TOO..WE HAVE THE LAST 75 OF THIS NOW!!! The first pressing came, and went, in a day...They are repressing another batch, this time on White vinyl and in black disco sleeve..again, limited to 200 only for uk..Love On The Sea is the first single from San Francisco's MOON DUO. Not strictly a duo, and not necessarily from THE moon, the group was conceived by RIPLEY JOHNSON of WOODEN SHJIPS. Operating within the same discipline of steady beats and maxi-minimalist rock 'n' roll as the Shjips, the Moon Duo group utilizes machine rhythms and degrading riffs to create a stupor-ific miasma of sound. Plain white disco sleeve, we are getting 150, Pressing of 500 Side A: Love on the Sea (10:20) Side B: EZ Street Ext (9:39)

THE REBEL - 'THE INCREDIBLE HULK'

Formats

• ASP019 - LP

  N/A

Details

A new full length LP by Country Teasers' frontman Ben 'The Rebel' Wallers is always something to be savoured. The Incredible Hulk is a brooding and brilliant work. Its darkness is punctured by skewed, experimental pop songs. The epic, pitch-black opener 'Ambient Pasteman' details children's TV character Postman Pat's relationship problems ("Postman Pat booted out his wife because Postman Pat didn't like his wife" and is followed by the poppier 'Cherish' ("we must cherish the drugs we have, for as long as we have the drugs") and the anthemic 'Aiming Low, Getting High' (released on 7" by Lexi-Disques last year). 'Christmas Every Day' is a snapshot of a nightmare - a man talks in earnest about how he celebrates Christmas every day, watching the Queen's speech on endless video loops. The voice emerges from monstrous guitar noise and machine gun fire. Wallers' satirical brilliance is to the fore with 'On My Own' ? it has a rather catchy chorus but the lyrics are an interpolation of a popular paedophile joke which then works as an intro for 'The Forest' - a psychotic recontextualization of 'A Forest' by The Cure. A crackling copy of that record is put on and gets stuck on Smith's familiar vocal 'again and again and again' - looping over and over?Is this an acid blast at 60's-80's recycling in the moribund British pop scene, a twisted tribute, or a sick joke? Or all of the above? The Rebel is fucking with us again ? thank God. The Incredible Hulk is The Rebel's most COLOURFUL LP OF ALL TIME!! HULK SMASH!!! We have 200 for UK sales, rest went to USA..sleeve rules, as expected...this is in our end of year top ten already..

ADVANCED SPORTSWEAR - 'ADVANCED SPORTSWEAR'

Formats

• ASP018 - CD

  N/A

Details

Advanced Sportswear balances noise and melody, structure and improvisation and combines extraordinary percussion sequences with sparse guitar refrains, heavy distorted bass, wildly tumbling piano riffs, icy synths and group vocal harmonies. This first edition is limited - 99 hand-numbered copies in zip-lock bags with an awesome design: for real! Advanced Sportswear is an evolution of the group Skill 7 Stamina 12. Advanced Sportswear feature on the forthcoming Wire Tapper *23 compilation of Wire magazine (March 2010). "My favourite record that isn't an out and out noise rock record this year" Colin Edgeworld "Wonderful." Echo Park "Sounds like some kind of weird jam between Chris Corsano, Liquid Liquid, Jazzfinger, Moondog and Supreme Vagabond Craftsman, as if produced by Phil Spector in a giant dustbin at the bottom of the sea. Impossible to categorize but strangely, coolly, totally RIGHT." AltVinyl, Newcastle we are getting 50 of this..
