**REPRESSED. NOW ON YELLOW AND BLUE SPLATTER VINYL!!!** Ushering in a new era, Berlin based, New Zealand heavy psych duo Earth Tongue lower the castle gates on their third album Dungeon Vision, a trove of fuzz-drenched anthems produced by garage rock luminary Ty Segall in Los Angeles. Guitarist Gussie Larkin and drummer Ezra Simons spent the Berlin winter of 2025 refining the album’s twelve tracks in their self-described “windowless cave” rehearsal space, crafting a record that channels both isolation and the duo’s live intensity. With the songs finally taking shape and a studio deadline looming, they flew to Los Angeles to turn their hard-won ideas into the real thing. Once there, the band and Ty captured lightning in a bottle, recording and mixing Dungeon Vision in just ten days at Altamira Sound. Tracked live to tape, Dungeon Vision pulses with human energy, fuzz guitars, bone-battering drums, and hauntingly tuneful vocals. Ty Segall’s influence is all over the record with Ty choosing the best takes based on feel rather than technical perfection. The “king of fuzzy guitar tones” pushed the duo to find new sonic textures while championing their raw chemistry. “Ty’s been a big driving force,” says Ezra. “We supported him in New Zealand back in 2023, and he’s backed us ever since even bringing us on tour through Europe and the UK in 2024.” Since their emergence in 2016, Earth Tongue’s world-building, visuals, and relentless touring have earned them global attention and a cult-like following. Their 2024 album Great Haunting, also released on In The Red Records, received a Taite Music Prize nomination and saw them win Best Group at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards. They’ve toured extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, IDLES, Acid King, Brant Bjork and Kikagaku Moyo. With Dungeon Vision, Earth Tongue deliver their most immersive work yet, a richly human, fuzz-soaked journey that bottles the magic of their live show and cements their reputation as one of the most exciting psych rock acts on the planet.

THE CRAMPS - 'STAY SICK'

Formats
  • VEN672 - LP (COLOURED)
    655035167213
Details

**CLEAR W/ BLACK HI-MELT VINYL** Sex-classic Stay Sick! was originally released in 1990 and features more of the dark side of rockabilly in a jugular vein. The opener, a hopped-up cover of obscure Sun Records tune “Bop Pills,” proves that rumors of amphetamine usage by the original Memphis rockabilly cats was not exaggerated, and sets the pace for the rest of the album. Hog-wild covers of “Shortninʼ Bread” and “Muleskinner Blues” probably have the original writers dancing on their graves, and The Cramps’ version of the perverse rarity “Her Love Rubbed Offʼ” shines a lurid spotlight on the only song that Carl Perkins was admittedly ashamed of writing. Plus, Stay Sick! delivers loads of action-packed originals celebrating kamikaze thrill-seeking and scary sexy she-creatures. This is pure jungle music—one half hillbilly and one half punk. If you canʼt dig this then you must have “Daisys Up Your Butterfly”! Still a favorite among rock ʼnʼ roll sickos worldwide.

**METALLIC RED VINYL** Dangerous, bizarre, but most of all cool, The Cramps one again prove themselves as leaders in skull-fracturing rock ʼnʼ roll, delving even deeper into a wicked netherworld where few have dared to tread. They are the architects of a sound that has spawned an entire subversive subculture. Originally released in 1997, Big Beat From Badsville is a haul-ass, careening monster of a record featuring more songs of mutilation, shape-shifting, psycho frenzies and she-devil-worship. The four rare bonus tracks on the CD include the nutty psycho-delic audio inkblot “Confessions of a Psycho Cat” and Poison Ivy’s chilling instrumental assault-weapon blast “Peter Gunn.

**NOW AVAILABLE ON MAROON COLOURED VINYL** **CD OUT OF STOCK** Released in 1983 after a lengthy court battle with IRS Records, Smell of Female originally contained just the first six songs. These, plus out-of-control ad-lib freakouts “Beautiful Gardens” and “She Said” (previously omitted due to legal restrictions) were recorded live at New Yorkʼs famous Peppermint Lounge. There is nothing like the sound of The Cramps, and this set distills that cross of swamp water, moonshine and nitro down to a dangerous and unstable musical substance, captured live like a crazed animal. They rocked like few others could. Additional bonus track “Surfinʼ Dead” was recorded at A&M Studios in Hollywood and originally appeared on the 1984 soundtrack for Return of the Living Dead—when asked to write a “pop song” for the movie, The Cramps (by then a three-piece) threw into their cauldron a mix of Link Wray, Jan & Dean, Davie Allen, The Righteous Brothers, bongos, Phil Spector and eye of newt.

*AVAILABLE ON CLEAR VINYL* *CD OUT OF STOCK* Featuring an over-the-top live set from Down Under, RockinNReelinInAucklandNewZealandXXX was recorded at the 100th show of The Cramps’ 1986 Date With Elvis Tour. The album was originally released incognito in cahoots with Ace Records in 1987 as a fake “limited-edition import” bootleg LP, and was intended to compete with the glut of unofficial Cramps recordings. The woman you hear screaming throughout the first half actually fainted when she stopped screaming! Included alongside other classic tunes are fractured versions of actual Elvis Presley hits “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Do the Clam” (angora angst written for Elvis by film-maker Ed Wood’s wife Dolores Fuller!). This release is recommended for those who wonder what it would sound like to hear a microphone thrown around and garbled into (Lux Interior was known to destroy a half dozen microphones in one night). Hear The Cramps get dixie-fried!

**RED METALLIC VINYL** Look Mom No Head! dresses rock ʼnʼ roll in its full regalia, with its many knobs, buttons and doo-dads. Man! The electric guitar sounds like it might launch a rocket! Replete with celebrations of intoxication and sexual prowess, The Cramps’ 1991 album sports “Dames, Booze, Chains and Boots” from the movie Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, a torchy rendition of Jack Nitzscheʼs slow-fuck blues “Hardworkinʼ Man” and the cross-dressing classic “I Wanna Get In Your Pants.” Minutes after Lux Interior ran into Iggy Pop buying beer next door to the recording studio, the two ended up singing “Miniskirt Blues” together. On the epic final track, biker rock ʼnʼ roll meets Screaming Mimi in B-movie trailer hell in “Wilder Wilder Faster Faster.” Stand back for CD bonus cut “Jelly Roll Rock” as Lux emits a fine spray throughout the entire vocal performance. Up your alley and in your face.

**GOLD METALLIC COLOURED VINYL** Originally planned for 1985 to join in the onslaught of Elvisʼs 50th Anniversary commemorative reissues, A Date With Elvis came out in early 1986 in Europe only, where it went on to sell more than 200,000 copies. The only album featuring The Cramps as a three-piece band (Poison Ivy doubled on bass), it careens from the sociopathic advice of “People Ainʼt No Good” (later covered by Nick Cave) to mind-on-vacation odes like “Aloha From Hell” and “Kizmiaz” (where The Cramps prove they were exotic when exotic wasnʼt cool), in the process offing more P.T.P. than you can shake a snake at and fittingly finishing off with a soulful lovesick cover of the Charlie Feathers’s “Itʼs Just That Song.” “Can Your Pussy Do The Dog” was voted single of the year for 1986 in Playboyʼs annual music issue!

CD SHIPPING / VINYL SHIPPING EARLY OCT **AVAILABLE ON BLOOD RED VINYL** We went back to an older method of writing for this one. We jammed and jammed and jammed. I took the tapes home and ironed out some mutant tunes. We went back into the studio and burned them to tape live and then I took it home to Stu-Stu-Studio and did the vocals and bought in Tom Dolas & Brigid Dawson to put the finish on. Spice is always nice. Mixed it all up in the cauldron and thus we have a strange brew indeed Floating in the smoke we have: A couple long jams, a couple short jams and a finale that’ll dump a bucket of ear worms on you (reminiscent of “the axis”?) Dip your toe in organ rock and roll So without further ado We present to you “OFF COURSE” An album wondering where the fuck are we and how did we get here A signal dispatched out into the darkness We are here We are alive And we are together CHEERS NO EARS JPD/DG/OSEES

SUSANNE LEWIS - 'S/T'

Formats
  • CC015 - LP
    769152440514
Details

“In a less ridiculous world, Susanne Lewis would need no introduction. For more than 40 years, she has been releasing brilliant, fearless, kaleidoscopic albums with various collaborators and under various names, including Corpses As Bedmates, Thinking Plague, Kissyfur and Hail. No two of them sound alike, none of them sound like anyone else, and all of them have moments that remain startling even after decades of listening. “She’s an offhandedly inventive musician who makes complex, disjunctive song structures sound perfectly natural, as if they couldn’t and shouldn’t have turned out any other way. A volatile singer who can shift from serenity to delirium in the space between two heartbeats, she’s capable of making the most abstruse dream-language feel immediate or, conversely, of making the most mundane experiences seem otherworldly. Her songs do not belong to a genre; they create their own genres as they go, and they typically bristle with more ideas than most of her alleged peers stumble across in an entire career. “All this being the case, the persistent neglect of her work by people who ought to know better has something pathological about it. Interesting yourself to any extent in 20th-century underground music while remaining unfamiliar with Susanne Lewis is like being a geologist who has never heard of volcanoes. Had she gotten the full attention and acclaim her accomplishments deserve, generations of lesser talents might never have managed to emerge from her shadow. If she gets it now—finally!—it will be a welcome and very timely triumph of personal vision and artistic autonomy over their increasingly ugly counterfeits. “Taken collectively, her albums constitute a parallel universe in which the early eighties post-punk avant-garde never ran out of surprises, and this reissue of her eponymous 2000 solo release—lovingly remastered from the original DAT tapes and released on LP for the first time by Concentric Circles—is as inviting a portal to that strange place as any. It’s an accessible and deceptively straightforward album with musical and emotional strata that increase in complexity and depth over repeated listenings.” — Brandan Kearney (author of On Cinema At the Cinema)

Since forming in 2012, Steak have built a loyal international following through relentless touring, acclaimed releases and an ever-evolving sound that fuses desert rock, psychedelia and progressive heaviness. With their first album written and recorded as a five-piece, Steak continue their upward trajectory with their most ambitious and expansive work to date. Combining crushing riffs, cinematic atmosphere and the band's unmistakable melodic edge, the record marks another bold evolution for a band entering its most exciting chapter yet. Tracks such as the opener "Cometh" showcase an all enveloping, shoegazing riff wash crashing against thundering drums and bass, wrapped in an etherial and hymnal vocal line. It stands as a representative statement for Steak's evolving sound, which borrows freely from a wide palette of heavy psychedelic sounds while still remaining immediately catchy. Steak are continuing to seize the momentum they've built in the past years on the backs of appearances at European festivals such as Desert fest, Freak Valley and Resurrection Fest and are further poised to gain ground with their biggest music work yet. Steak is available on purple 180gr. vinyl (including download) and on CD from Stickman Records.

JACKSON ALMOND - 'TREMORS IN COPPER'

Formats
  • SNDREC007 - LP (COLOURED)
    5061041822605
Details

Sound Records is proud to present Tremors in Copper, the debut full-length album from producer, composer and sound designer Jackson Almond. Born in Liverpool and formerly based in London, Almond has spent the past decade working across record shops, sound design and hardware instrument development while quietly building a catalogue of releases with Warner, BBE, Slowfoot, WotNot Music, XVI Records, Audio Doughnuts and Sounds of Sumo. His Open Your Head EP, the first released under his own name, received a 9/10 review from DJ Mag, who described it as "stunningly original", while Bandcamp praised his "knack for balancing hooks and earworms with original ideas and creative production." His work has been supported by BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, NTS, Worldwide FM and Balamii. After releasing a second vinyl EP, Take The Time, and a series of remixes, Almond stepped away from releasing music in 2019, relocating from London to the Gloucestershire countryside. Rather than chasing clout or momentum, he disappeared into the studio. Tremors in Copper is the result of that decision. Drawing together UK club music, folk traditions and contemporary composition, the album refuses easy categorisation. Hardware synthesis, tape processes, field recordings, guitars, clarinets, intricate tuned percussion and string arrangements processed through vintage digital effects create a world that feels simultaneously intimate and expansive. Echoes of trip-hop, broken beat, UK garage, house, IDM and ambient music surface throughout, but always in service of a singular musical voice rather than genre. The result is an album that is as compelling on a powerful sound system as it is through headphones: rhythmic and physical one moment, reflective and cinematic the next, exploring memory, connection and the traces people leave in one another. The release also marks Almond's return to live performance for the first time in over a decade. Alongside hardware-based electronic sets, selected performances will feature a bespoke electroacoustic installation of handmade resonant copper instruments performed with analogue synthesisers, tape machines and drum machines. Each performance is shaped specifically for its environment, from immersive listening experiences to dancefloor-focused shows. Based in Stroud, UK.

K.LEIMER - 'AT THE FIRST CLEAR SOUND'

Formats
  • POL 17.2026 - CD
    195269424053
Details

Some more new music made with a system of hand-drawn, modular passages rearranged in coherent and incoherent signatures. The tracks of At the First Clear Sound are stubbornly absent of improvisation, solos, virtuosity, and compositional form while being full of naïveté, a harsh smoothness, an agitated calm, and inharmonic harmonics. Dazzled by the automatic nature of this modular technique Leimer worked quickly, choosing to respect his mistakes and question his choices. “As reliant as the music is on computers, samples, digital processing, and typing, this work is still rather imperfect, rather handmade. And, of course, my compulsion to work with infinitely pliant sound is now clearly bordering on mild psychosis.” Technically, there’s never a final mix. K. Leimer founded Palace of Lights in 1979. Leimer’s work has also been issued by Autumn, First Terrace, Les Giants, Invisible Inc., Origin Peoples, and RVNG. His early cassette work is included in the critically acclaimed VOD box set ‘American Cassette Culture’ and is included in Cherry Red’s ‘Noise Floor’ series. Leimer has been actively producing music since the mid 1970s—his current catalog includes solo albums, soundtracks, installations, and collaborative albums with Savant, Marc Barreca, Tyler Boley, and Three Point Circle. We are told his work is included in the collection of The British Library.
