Record Highlight — Andy The Doorbum

Andy the Doorbum has been making music for over ten years, as well as making visual art, writing zines, working at the World Famous Milestone Club for six years, touring extensively, making his own merchandise, and preparing for the apocalypse. He has recorded four EPs and four full-lengths that have never seen the light of day; and has released three splits, one EP, a cassette tape, and three full length albums. He also contributed to several compilations including Another Merrie Kinnikinnik, the Shuffle Magazine Valentine’s Comp, and Piedmont Hellstompers.  His tour history has consisted of playing anywhere possible: from dance recitals to library openings, barns, baby showers, basements, skate parks, Italian Heritage Festivals, and events as small as house shows, to a World Music Festival attended by 3000+ people (performing as a member of Etran Finatwa from Nigeria). He has also toured with and also been a member of Cryptorchid Chipmunk, The Emotron, PPR, 2013 Wolves, Morbid Toothbrush, FleshHouse, IYF PoRK, Pangolin Wasser, and Appalucia; and recently collaborated on a recording with Mack Johansson (from Sweden) of the group Hyacinth House. Alongside these endeavors, he has been actively recording his own projects, including this new double LP – The Man Killed The Bird, And With The Bird He Killed The Song, And With The Song, Himself – available now, only on vinyl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — The Strange Attractors

Austin psych-rock luminaries The Strange Attractors are back with their boldest release on Past/Futures Records to date.  Midnight at Xochil’s is the third full length for the Austin, Texas based quartet, which includes former and current members of the Riverboat Gamblers and the Ugly Beats, among others.

After 6 years of searing psych rock nihilism, band founder Jeremy Diaz’s vision to streamline the sound is realized with Xochil’s — a group of beautifully written songs, simplistic in their sophistication. From raging psych rock tension ala Spacemen 3 to soft Jesus and Mary Chain-inspired lullaby/dirges, the album is  delivered with a maturity and confidence not yet seen from the band, and in turn proves to be the most honest.

Producer Che Arthur was on hand in Austin with Engineer Michael Landon (Okkervil River, Neil Michael Hagerty) for the fiendishly paced 4 day recording session. Afterwards the record was taken to Chicago for mixing and mastering. Theres something for everyone here – the lineage of old Texas psych rock is still prevelant, and new fans are sure to enjoy the evolution of a group that is constantly breaking new ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — The Soil & The Sun

the Soil & the Sun is corn-fed, Michigan-made New Mexican Space Music, or Experiential Spiritual Folk. Originating in 2008 as two-piece, the band has grown and matured into an eight-piece community of friends and musicians. Oboe, violin, cello, guitars, accordion, percussion, piano, and vocals, cooperate to create complex harmonies, layered melodies, and driving rhythms. The careful orchestration and intentional instrumentation will speak to your soul.

You can now grab Wake Up Child on limited edition vinyl, which features revamped and re-recorded versions of songs by the group from the past three years, all wrapped up as a cohesive new LP.
