THE COSMIC DEAD - 'RAINBOWHEAD'

Formats

• BRR306 - LP

  5060446120668

Details

**REPRESS ALERT COLOURED RED/GREEN TWISTED STRIPE**The Cosmic Dead return with their first full length album since 2014’s Easterfaust. For the uninitiated The Cosmic Dead are a quartet from Glasgow, Scotland, making some of the best raging freak out psych right now. ‘Rainbowhead’ is a brand new LP, featuring four tracks of spaced out, heavy psych formed from insane chugging bass, trippy synth blasts, krautrock infused metallic guitar riffin’ and furious cascading drum cycles. The band’s constant positive vibes have led to them touring all over the UK and Europe, playing the prestigious Liverpool Psych Fest and the band are due to play Psycho Festival in Las Vegas in August alongside Sleep, Candlemass, Yob, Mudhoney, Death and more. ‘Rainbowhead’ follows records on Cardinal Fuzz, Evil Hoodoo, Who Do You Trust?, Sound of Cobra and some of the best underground labels around. The band said: “A few days before appearing at Cry Parrot's 'Music Is The Music Language' Festival in Glasgow, The Cosmic Dead journeyed north to a remote cottage near Kyle of Lochalsh in the Highlands of Scotland. Isolated from technology and with the help of focaccia aficionado & sound engineer Luigi Pasquini, we recorded sounds wrought from the textures and folds of the surrounding landscape clasping its craggy links to the Inner Sea. A place we call Rainbowhead.” Pressing info: 900 copies on coke bottle clear vinyl available worldwide

SHABAZZ PALACES - 'LIVE AT THIRD MAN RECORDS'

Formats

• TMR304 - LP

  813547023049

Details

Shabazz Palaces is Ishmael Butler (Digible Planets) and Tendai Maraire, and their Lese Majesty was easily the most spun record on the Third Man office turntable in 2014. Our admiration reached new heights when we had the honor of hosting the Seattle-based duo for a live performance and direct-to-acetate recording in our Nashville Blue Room last year. In Third Man consigliere Ben Swank's own words, "Shabazz Palaces' obstinately original oeuvre emanates from a fully formed higher conscious, they plant their flag in the outermost realms of the hip hop global soundscape where vibrations throb into beat-heavy explorations, chrome covered constellations of higher reveries each offering its own sonic boom." Ishmael and Tendai announced recently that they will be supporting Radiohead on their upcoming LA dates, and the group released a new video featuring footage from the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, NASA's Johnson Space Center, and the Hubble and Cassini space missions for their track "Dawn In Luxor" just last week, We agree... you'd better go ahead and watch here.

DWIGHT YOAKAM - 'TOMORROW'S GONNA BE ANOTHER DAY'

Formats

• TMR363 - 7"

  813547022998

Details

Dwight Yoakam: Kentucky born, Ohio raised; Tennessee jilted, California praised. That's the way the story goes, at least. In 1977 when Dwight moved to Nashville to pursue his honky-tonk dreams, Nashville was moving away from the traditional and Countrypolitan sound it had spent the better part of a century developing, and more towards the pop-country that still inhabits its airwaves. Dwight found that his musical aspirations were better suited on the leading edge of the post-Bakersfield, Los Angeles “Cowpunk” scene where his music was better received by the West coast punks and drunks than the then-current Music City establishment. The Nashville industry eventually embraced the LA-based outsider in the late 80’s and Dwight Yoakam turned out to be one of the best damn artists country music has ever known. Today, the massive influence of Yoakam’s unique style of country music on Nashville is clearly demonstrated by the sheer number of times "Guitars, Cadillacs" is picked on lower Broadway each day. It never gets old. It's practically the city anthem. Third Man Records, as you know, is thrilled to call Nashville home to its label headquarters, and calling Nashville home means putting out some real country music records. We did it earlier this year from one Margo Price, and we're doing it again now, just in time for the CMA Music Festival next week. Dwight Yoakam recently took to the studio with our fearless leader Jack White III to record two of the swingin'est tunes we've ever had covered in our Blue Series: "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day" (Boyce/Venet, popularized by The Monkees) b/w "High On The Mountain of Love" (Dorman, popularized by Kenny Lynch, then Johnny Rivers, then the Beach Boys, and recorded by many others along the way). Produced by White and backed by the Third Man band of all-stars — Lillie Mae Rische, Daru Jones, Cory Younts, Dominic Davis, Fats Kaplin — these two renditions, into which Dwight's delivery breathes new life, proves that with the right artist behind the microphone, any song'll make an even better country song. Now, have you ever heard anything more Nashville than that?

THE NUMERATORS - 'STRANGE'

Formats

• AF001LP - LP

  642610485923

Details

THE NUMERATORS is the musical incarnation of the brothers RANA. SAMMI, who lives in Austin, TX, keeps himself busy with his dog, Bill, his labyrinthine line art, the explosive world of mango connoisseuring, and his solo ear roller coaster project, SELFIE. While BURGERS, who resides in Brooklyn, NY, drums in the lush-shine psych outfit, SCULLY, assembles effect pedals at Death By Audio, and does visual & light work for Noises and A Place To Bury Strangers. When the two get together the undoubtedly solid brother connection is in full force with he Numerators. After a string of 7” singles and numerous tapes the duders are release Strange—ten sun-scorched tracks, somewhere on the spectrum of kraut-scuzz & fuzz-abilly, about feeling weird, mutating nights of excess, and Bill, the dog. Inspired by David Fair’s (Half Japanese) mini-manifesto on how to play the guitar, the Numerators are ever climbing rock n roll's highest mountain—“the idea isn't to feel foolish. the idea is to put a pick in one hand and a guitar in the other and with a tiny movement rule the world.”
