Information
BROADCAST
SPELL BLANKET (2LP) COLLECTED DEMOS 2006-2009		 cover
Warp
Big 36 track collection of demos and sketches from Trish Keenan & BROADCAST's productive post-"Tender Buttons" period of 2006-09. This shoudl scratch the same itch that their "Microtronics" series does, as well as the third demo LP of STEREOLAB's reissue campaign of the last few years. VERY RECOMMENDED!
Available at: All Stores
New LP $36.99
BNNY
ONE MILLION LOVE SONGS (LTD. RED VINYL) 		cover
Firetalk
This second record from Chicago's own Jess Viscius and BNNY is a turn around from the stark heartbreak of the band's debut with songs about love, lust and romance built on rich, gauzy arrangements that recall ALVVAYS, SNAIL MAIL and (for an older vintage) MAZZY STAR.

New LP $23.99
PRATT, JESSICA
HERE IN THE PITCH (BROWN VINYL) (INDIE EXCLUSIVE EDITION)		 cover
Mexican Summer
A brilliant fourth record from California psych folk singer JESSICA PRATT, who burrows deeper into the dreamlike mystery of her songwriting. "Here in the Pitch" is dotted with spacious, reverberating vocals, elliptical acoustic guitars and opaque lyrics - all PRATT signatures - but with some arrangements that flesh out the compositions without making them sound too robust. A bit of NICK DRAKE's "Bryter Layter", a bit of BROADCAST's Trish Keenan-esque vocalizations, a bit of dusty 78rpm hauntology, all wrapped up in inviting songcraft. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
Available at: Milwaukee Ave and Loop
New LP $25.99
CIVEROUS
MAZE ENVY ("GRIMACE" PURPLE VINYL) 		cover
20 Buck Spin
The Los Angeles death metal unit CIVEROUS returns in 2024 with "Maze Envy." The album begins with a screeching Bernard Herrmann esque string passage & quickly devolves into cavernous, doom-laden death metal. There are technical elements that will appeal to fans of BLOOD INCANTATION & some clean guitar passages that remind us of DREAM UNENDING. Overall pretty cool stuff here.

New LP $24.99
LENKER, ADRIANNE
BRIGHT FUTURE (RECYCLED VINYL) (INDIE EXCLUSIVE EDITION)		 cover
4AD
Following BIG THIEF's sprawling double-LP opus "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You", singer ADRIANNE LENKER simplifies with this solo full-length. Just in the same way as her "Songs" & "Instrumentals" release in 2020, LENKER recorded these songs directly to tape, mostly with guitar, piano and violin, giving "Bright Future" the feeling of an impromptu home session done by musicians who have lived long enough in these songs to play them loosely. LENKER's writing evokes both sunlit Americana and airy, dreamlike psych-folk, all rooted in her skills for intuitive melody and poignant couplet lyricism. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Available at: Loop
New LP $24.99
MAJESTY CRUSH
BUTTERFLIES DON'T GO AWAY (2LP) :("GHOST OF FUN" MILKY CLEAR VINYL)		 cover
Numero Group
Numero turns their attention to the 90s Detroit shoegaze/dream pop band MAJESTY CRUSH. The band was popular in their hometown but for some reason they never really took off other places. If you're a fan of 90s stuff like early RIDE, SWERVEDRIVER & CATHERINE WHEEL you should check this stuff out. RECOMMENDED.

New LP $28.99
COLTRANE, ALICE
CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT (2LP, REISSUE) 		cover
Impulse
Wow! This multitrack recording of a 1971 concert at Carnegie Hall was originally planned as an Impulse release but never came out for reasons unknown. This fantastic sounding recording features an absolutely bonkers group of superstars including Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Jimmy Garrison, Cecil McBee, Ed Blackwell, Tulsi & Kumar Kramer. A true holy grail for Alice Coltrane fans. RECOMMENDED OF COURSE!

New LP $40.99
GORDON, KIM
COLLECTIVE 		cover
Matador
'The Collective' is another excellent addition to KIM GORDON's post- SONIC YOUTH catalog, signaling a bold reinvention of her sound in her 4th decade in music. It's a Blistering set of molten soundscapes crafted from SoundCloud trap beats, blown-out bass, immersive waves of distortion, and Kim's iconic NYC drawl - imagine a classic Youth jam like "Kool Thing" if it were dipped in lava, fossilized and then Electrified by lightning. There are nods to her heroes in SUICIDE & THROBBING GRISTLE, old peers ROYAL TRUX & MBV, artists like M.I.A. & SLEIGH BELLS who were inspired by SY, and some genuinely leftfield influences like DEATH GRIPS, CHARLI XCX and even PLAYBOI CARTI, if you can Believe it. This is Yet again a truly Essential release from one of the coolest to ever do it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Available at: Belmont and Loop
New LP $22.99
GOLLER, RUTH
SKYLLUMINA 		cover
International Anthem
London based composer & bassist RUTH GOLLER has worked a lot with Int'l Anthem mainstays ALABASTER DePLUME and BEX BURCH, and her solo work embraces the open improvization of her comrades with ethereal pop vocals that remind us a bit of ANA ROXANNE. Features support from BURCH and THE SMILE's Tom Skinner. RECOMMENDED!
Available at: All Stores
New LP $23.99
WOODS, JAMILA
WATER MADE US ("ARCTIC SWIRL" VINYL) (SIGNED COPIES!)		 cover
Jagjaguwar
JAMILA WOODS follows up her brilliant, defiant, and explicitly political 2019 album 'LEGACY! LEGACY!' with this more personal & reflective work in the wake of the collective turmoil we've experienced over the past few years. 'Water Made Us' is a journey through love, heartbreak, and relationships formed & lost not just with others but with the self. Jamila's sense of exploration in her lyricism extends to the music as well, ceding space in her neo-soul tapestry for folk songs, more spoken word interludes, and some buzzy electro pop tracks. Guests include SABA and GIA MARGARET. You know what it is, Chicago. RECOMMENDED! JAMILA was kind enough to sign some LPs for us before her local stop at the Vic Theatre. These are limited edition & available in the stores only!!!
