R.I.P. Brendon Annesley – Negative Guestlist

We received some very sad news yesterday that one of our long-time customers has passed away – Brendon Annesley of The Negative Guestlist.  As a label owner, artist, and writer, Brendon was a very active figure in Australia’s underground punk scene, and he will be missed by many.

Record Highlight — Chuck Prophet

On Februrary 7th, Chuck Prophet returns with Temple Beautiful – a nuanced, insightful, passionate ode to San Francisco: his adopted hometown; his muse; his drug of choice…

San Francisco. It’s a great place to come and wave your freak flag or whatever you want to call it. It can suck you under. That first hit. It really does a whammy to you. And if you’re like me you can find yourself chasing the San Francisco dragon for the rest of your life. That’s what the record is about.

The record’s an unsentimental (though loving) tour of San Francisco. Made in San Francisco by San Franciscans about San Francisco. My effort to tap into the history, the weirdness, the energy and spontaneity that brought me here in the first place.” ~ Chuck Prophet

Record Highlight — The Marble Vanity

The Marble Vanity‘s “You Can’t Step On A Rainbow” 7″ single streets January 31 on Slow Fizz Records

What you see is only natural. After punishing ears for years as CoCoComa, Bill and Lisa Roe spent the last few years building Trouble in Mind Records and putting out enough hit singles to fill a candy jukebox. Goes without saying all these contact highs awakened a few demons. They found themselves playing with kites and launching yellow balloons into the sky towards Sagittarius and soon enough Andrew from The Hipshakes jumped across the pond and found himself going from every other weekend to full custody and The Marble Vanity was a band, man. Soon Emma from Hollows turned up with a harpsichord in one hand and a flute in the other to add a bit of sparkle, Josh Berman dropped by for tea with his cornet to add a little class and then there was this monkey and he had some total Owsley shit – super kind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — Italian Horn

The Bells of Spring is the six song 12” debut from Italian Horn, a solo project of New York City writer Anthony Pappalardo (Radio Silence, Live…Suburbia). Continuing the home recording tradition of My Dad is Dead, East River Pipe and Sebadoh, Red Affair channels equal parts GBV, Bailterspace and Flying Saucer Attack. …synth and subtle noise intertwine with short strummed songs selected with washed out shoegaze reverb guitar creating direct but layered soundscapes. Cover collage created by Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices) and limited to 300 copies — the first 50 pre-orders receive a limited edition cassette with bonus tracks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — The Heat Tape

The Heat Tape from Makanda, IL has signed on with Underground Communiqué Records for the release of their new eponymous 7”! This new four song single is the band’s follow up to their debut album, Raccoon Valley Recordings, which was released last year by Red Scare.

Fronted by Brett Hunter from the Copyrights/Dear Landlord, the band continues their lo-fi and primitive-stomp sound that was the benchmark set on the debut. The songs have an effortless air to them and are stacked with infectious hooks that start with a casual, uncontrollable foot tapping along to the beat, quickly progressing to humming the tunes at any idle moment in the day and then into full on “obsesso mode.”  The 7″ just shipped, and will be added to the Underground Communique store soon, so stay tuned…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — Person L / Weatherbox

It’s been rumored since 2008, and now, it finally exists: Philadelphia’s Person L and San Diego’s Weatherbox each contribute two brand new tracks to this split EP. This release showcases Kenneth Vasoli and Brian Warren as true masters of their craft, in a constant game of post-punk one-upmanship. Essential listening that is worth the wait.

TRACKLISTING
A1: Person L – OK
A2: Person L – Winter Clothes
B1: Weatherbox – Kickflips For Weeks
B2: Weatherbox – Two Seductresses

All of the blue and black copies are sold out, so only orange copies remain (and not very many) — hit up Youth Conspiracy Records to grab one!
