EP's 1988-1991
On "EP’s 1988–1991 and rare tracks", My Bloody Valentine crystallise the leap from scuzzy indie to full‑blown shoegaze alchemy: the Creation‑era EPs and stray cuts where overdriven pop songs dissolve into colour‑smeared noise, vapor‑thin vocals and the weightless lurch that would become Loveless.

They Came Like Swallows - Seven Requiems for the Children of Gaza
On They Came Like Swallows – Seven Requiems for the Children of Gaza, Bonner Kramer and Thurston Moore channel decades of noise, songcraft and studio sorcery into seven slow‑burning laments, where volcanic drones, grief‑stricken melody and a haunted Joy Division cover fuse into a stark act of sonic mourning and resistance.
Flavio
*300 copies limited edition* Mexico City trio Mengers have been threatening to detonate for years. Across their first two albums—Golly’s simulated-chaos ruminations and i/O’s desolate drift—they turned existential dread into a combustible punk language: jagged guitars, convulsing rhythms, lyrics like condensed panic attacks. With Flavio, their third studio album and most adventurous yet, they finally make good on that threat. It’s a record that doesn’t just expand their sound—it completely reima…

Originally self-released during 1990, a tapestry of noise, girls talking into tape recorders, pre- and post-song material.
Contra Madre
The late pedal-steel guitarist Susan Alcorn leaves a final surprise hinting at new directions left underexplored on her collaboration with Nomad War Machine, the improvising metal duo of drummer Julius Masri and guitarist James Reichard. Their death-metal-influenced pummel adds new fire to her molten flow across a suite of improvised tracks that show off the vast range and simpatico of the trio. Julius Masri and James Reichard of Nomad War Machine: An unexpected opportunity arose out of a catchi…
Prehistory
Some 42 years after its initial release, Circle X’s Prehistory returns to the vinyl format. New listeners to this music will discover, in addition to the roiling compulsion in its odd, dance-damaged clockwork and instinctive joining of feral and aestheticized values, a refined understanding of the width andbreadth of “post-punk” music, both in and out of its time. In and out of time, Circle X operated between 1978 and 1995, formed in Louisville, KY, but existing largely as a New York-based colle…

Live At Club 19 Pori Finland 20th April 2005
*Please note, this is a vinyl only release. There is no digital download at all. Just the vinyl* Few bands carry the weight of history with such light-footed grace as Träd, Gräs och Stenar. More than just a group, they are a living conduit for the currents of collective expression, resistance, and transcendence that have defined Sweden’s underground music landscape since the late 1960s. Their sound—raw, organic, and untamed—has pulsed through decades, defying the strictures of genre and time, th…
Prophecy
*328 copies limited edition* Prophecy finds Eye in form familiar to those who've had the good fortune to hear their 2016 album Other Sky, but even more compacted and condensed, a band simmered and reduced to their pure essence. And then the volume increases. Prophecy is a pummeling din of guitar clouds shot through with electronic disruption. Stapleton's relentless motion drives Porteous' icy guitar streams in leaping waves. 'Catch Them' opens the album with Peter's vocals, croaking out from the…

"Following their first collaborative LP, which I reviewed in Vital Weekly 1451, there’s a new album by Dirk Serries (guitar) and drummer Jörg A. Schneider. For me, that was an introduction to this musician (Dirk, I have known since 40 years!), who plays with Gaffa, Glimmen, Jealousy Mountain Duo, Les Hommes Qui Wear Espandrillos, Nicoffeine, Roji, SWWS, Tarngo, Teen Prime, The Nude Spur and has several collaborative projects, mostly with guitar slingers, such as Thisquietarmy, N, Mikel Vega, Aid…

Hyderomastgroningem
2025 stock Along with the Boredoms, Naked City and very few others, this amazing drums/bass duo are masters of quick-change, stop/start tempos, time-signatures and textures. Ruins' explosive and intricately composed tunes are sung in a peculiar language of their own invention. Yoshida cites Magma, This Heat, Debussy and Webern as influences. Masuda's favorites are James Brown and Fred Frith.
Hardcore, art rock, psych, heavy metal, funk and lots more - if Ruins have heard it, they are likely to…
