Details

“Australian psych-post-punk fury of clanging guitars, pummeling drums and thick, sinewy basslines combine for a primal, minimalistic outpouring of swaggering rawk.” SHOVELS come charging out of the Homeless stable as a band in absolute peak condition. Their tight rhythms and challenging lyrics, soaked with brash overdriven guitar, provide a solid foundation for the band’s concise compositional skills. This is a record that bursts through the white noise generated by ephemeral rock trendiness. It gallops with forward surging momentum and bristles with seductive tension. Shovels are masters of the art of knowing when to conspiratorially whisper and when to bludgeon with full force. The eight tracks on this record tear through a spectrum of moods. Slow burning numbers such as Clyde, Arm Arm Leg and Expire play out like omens of tangible portent whilst MB Jacket, Multiple Farrow and Grenoble explode with energy, all channeled into a tightly focused beam. Shovels are Michael Beach (guitar and vocals), Adam Camilleri (bass), and Peter Warden (drums). They formed in 2013 with members split between Melbourne, Australia and San Francisco, California. Their self-titled debut is presented proudly by Homeless Records. Mastered by Bob Weston (Shellac) at Chicago Mastering 350 COPIES ONLY / W/ DL CARD.

ONE WAY ORDERS ONLY. WE ARE GETTING TO ORDER ONLY. Made in a strictly one time pressing of 500 individually #ed copies All from the original analogue master tapes in glorious mono! Black Diamonds: Your portal to as close to a time machine back to the world of primo mid 60's Australian sounds as possible. 'Singles From The Festival Vaults 1965-1969 Volume One'. Carbonado, commonly known as the "Black Diamond", is the toughest form of natural industrial diamond. Much like it's mineral counterpart, the 'Black Diamond' 45 is the toughest form of 7" vinyl. Tough in acquiring, tough in sound, tough on your bank balance. So what to do? ....Repro revive 45's! The quarter of a century in-house Festival Records mastering supremo and custodian of the tape archive during his tenure at Festival records has been responsible for all the tape transfers and mastering on the 45's in this box set. All from the original analogue master tapes in glorious mono! The very same tapes that were responsible for pressing the original 45's in the 1960's have been sourced to press the 45's in this box set. We've even reproduced the original labels in all their letterpress glory to give you the original sound, original look and the original price of admission (inflation considered) to the world of amazing mid to late 1960's 7" Australian 45 rpm sounds. This first volume travels four golden years start to finish. Begins in 1965 with the frantic harmonica laced femme sounds of Toni McCann's My Baby, travels through to the 1966 punk of Derek's Accent, Ain't Go No Feeling, The Lost Souls teen angst anthem that is This Life Of Mine, snarling finery that is The Black Diamonds, double sided top shelf freakbeat of The Playboys and ends in the hard edged psych of Inside Looking Out in 1969 and that's just over half the stops! Some sides in this box have been compiled previously, legally and illegally on various artists long players & CD, but many of the sides are seeing their first issue in any format since their original release. This is the first time all twenty tunes have reissued in their original intended form at. Black vinyl 45rpm sides! You could not buy a mint original of any of 45's in this box set for what you can swing this whole box set for. Fact. If you wanted all the original singles your bank manager is the next port of call. The ten 45rpm sevens are housed in a full colour, sturdy clam shell type box. This swank set is rounded out by booklet featuring extensive liner notes by Grammy nominated writer and veteran of many swell sets of the Ace & Rhino labels, Alec Palao. If these sounds float your boat, this is the definitive article! Made in a strictly one time pressing of 500 individually #ed copies. No repress, no bs! Black Diamonds. Your portal to as close to a time machine back to the world of primo mid 60's Australian sounds as possible. Accept no substitute! CONTENTS: 01.

Details

Based in Montreal, Kyle Bobby Dunn has been producing elegant and refined works of ambient minimalism for the better part of a decade. His two lengthy and critically lauded collections for the Low Point label, A Young Person’s Guide to Kyle Bobby Dunn and Bring Me the Head of Kyle Bobby Dunn, established him as a force to be reckoned with in the current epoch of drone / ambient music. Indeed, his compositions offer listeners wonder, sadness and pathos in equal measure, and are executed with a precision and effortlessness that eludes many musicians working in the genre. Kyle Bobby Dunn and the Infinite Sadness is undoubtedly his most focused and emotionally charged work thus far, a rich, expansive collection of slowly unfurling beauty that stretches out over the course of more than two hours. Dunn’s trademark guitar swells and slowmoving loops feel clearer and have a renewed sense of purpose and poise. He recorded source material for the album in various Canadian towns, including Belleville and Dorset, and processed and arranged the recordings at L’auberge de Dunn Studios in Montreal while, in his own words, “reflecting heavily on the gorgeous feet of a certain French woman and binging on strong beer and cheese.” From the opening salvo, “Ouverture de Peter Hodge Transport,” Dunn establishes a haunting, lovelorn trajectory that is developed through the strikingly beautiful “Boring Foothills of Foot Fetishville” and the poignant closer “And the Day Is Dunn and I Can Only Think of You,” titles that exhibit well his trademark sense of (black) humor. Kyle Bobby Dunn and the Infinite Sadness is a powerful statement, the artist’s most complex, complete and accessible album to date.

GIORGIO MURDERER - 'PRIMITIVE WORLD'

Formats

• 110GONE - 7"

Details

Giorgio Murderer is Buck Biloxi’s synthetic doppelgänger, doppelgängbanging all over the place. All over your face! Where Buck Biloxi’s guitars stumble and crumble, Giorgio Murderer’s cheap synthesizer burps and passes out. Confused malevolence remains intact. This four-song EP includes a cover / homage / tribute / re-enactment of Three-Six Mafia’s “Studio Time.”
