Health's second album drops after such successes as tours with Nine Inch Nails, Of Montreal, and Crystal Castles and the acclaimed "Health/Disco" album. Grinding buzzsaw sounds reflect the harsher side of what can be a melodic, electronic nest of tones and signals. On Love Pump Records.

this is the first pressing of this on CD before it was remastered with shitty 80s noise reduction tech. people who really care about this stuff swear up and down the pre-remastered versions are the best. and you can be the judge for only (looks at price tag) holy shit

Released a mere 7 months after the debut album "Are You Experienced", Hendrix's sophomore album brings us a bevvy of new delights to relish in. Litle Wing! If 6 Was 9! Castles Made of Sand!

Hotly anticipated 2008 debut from this New Yorker who is poised to take over dance floors the world over. Andrew Butler (the man behind HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR) takes the bounce and joy from the disco era and brings it back to the 21st century. These tunes are absolutely stuffed with ideas and melodies and will leave you better than you were before. Also features vocals by Antony of ANTONY & THE JOHNSONS. You don't need Pitchfork to tell you this one is destined to be a classic - RECOMMENDED!

Tom Krell, a philosophy student from Brooklyn and Cologne, Germany, releases this collection of songs culled from a free EP called "The Eternal Love" with a handful of new tracks. Universally lauded by music communities across the globe, How To Dress Well fuses the genres of r&b, lo-fi indie pop, and mildly danceable, dance music. Some have focused on the lo-fi nature of the album, which we would argue is a non-issue (Times New Viking, for example, have made a career out of harsh sounding albums and held on to a consistent fan base). The home recording atmosphere, general static, and fuzz of the album adds to the overall tone and dreamy intention of the release. "Love Remains" sounds as though Panda Bear (Noah Lennox of Animal Collective) took Trey Songz by the hand to the washy depths of the indie-electronic underworld. Some songs have blatant R&B "borrowing" like on the track "Can't See My Own Face" which features some pretty obvious Beyonce-isms and "Endless Rain" has some dated drumming in the same vein as early 90s groups SWV or Bell Biv Devoe. Not yet being claimed as a concept album as much as a "new" genre, we can see why this album is garnering so much attention. In the same way Ariel Pink seems to be an oblivious, musical brain genius, Krell may have just stumbled across the right amount of lo-fi ambience, nostalgia, and mystery to make his music the album du jour. Put this one next to your Smooth Grooves, Sensual R&B, or Baby Makin' Musiq collections. On Lefse Records.
