The tracks are Some of the People, All of the Time b/w Mourn the Allusion, and the record was pressed on blood-red wax, courtesy of Razor & Tie. As with most Black Friday releases, the pressing is very limited. So, be sure to hit up your local indie store the day after Thanksgiving; and definitely check out both the new full-length All That Remains album – For We Are Many and the new Jamey Jasta album – Jasta – both available everywhere now!

Customer Highlight — Apteka

Apteka‘s new full length — Gargoyle Days — streets on Halloween. The band is celebrating with a FREE record release show that night at the Empty Bottle in Chicago; with special guests Sybris, the Bingers, and the debut of Touched by Ghoul.

Apteka is Adam Lukas, Dino Balocchi, Jesse Hozeny, and Dave Narey. They are from Chicago…they play rock music…they like large kick drums, tube amplification, and face melting. Check them out!

Customer Highlight — Hiss Golden Messenger

Paradise of Bachelors will officially release Hiss Golden Messenger’s masterful Poor Moon LP on the first of November, el Día de los Muertos. The first fully electric ensemble recording since 2010′s highly limited Root Work, Poor Moon represents both an elaboration and inversion of previous HGM efforts, proposing an America at perpetual sundown, wracked by devotion, wrecked by celebration.

To commemorate the release of the Poor Moon, the P.O.B. guys came up with a pre-order structure by which you can ensure your vinyl copy of the album and also order two additional digital releases—Lord I Love the Rain and Plowed: Live in Bovina—not available anywhere else on this earth. The Poor Moon vinyl is available only in a limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies.

Customer Highlight — I Am The Avalanche

Courtesy of Clifton Motel Records, IATA‘s first new album since their 2005 self-titled effort, Avalanche United dropped on vinyl just about a week ago. The first pressing flew out, so Clifton Motel hit us up for a rush re-pressing last week, which are now all out and available. Hit up the label to grab a copy while this second pressing it still available!

Produced by the band, executive produced and engineered by their prolific drummer Brett “The Ratt” Romnes, and mixed by Machine (Fall Out Boy, Every Time I Die, Four Year Strong), Avalanche United is addictively melodic and blisteringly raw to its very core. Featuring 12 anthemic songs and absolutely zero filler, the album includes “Brooklyn Dodgers,” the defiant “Holy Fuck”, the epic and somber “Dead Friends” and “The Gravedigger’s Argument,” featuring Anthony Raneri from Bayside. Throughout, Caruana’s distinctive voice drips with defiance, humor and proud vulnerability as he sings about hope, heartbreak, death, defying adversity and the bonds between family, lovers and friends.

Customer Highlight — Jonathan Wilson

Jonathan Wilson’s music is steeped equally in the woodsy contours of his Blue Ridge origins and the atmospheric guitar reveries of Neil Young and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Gentle Spirit, an expansive double set conceived specifically for vinyl, was recorded to analog tape and is remarkably evocative of that golden late ‘60s, early ‘70s period when rural and urban sensibilities colluded to produce some of rock’s most imperishable recordings. The album was recorded at his former studio in Laurel Canyon, the location of the very scene Wilson is credited with revitalizing through his personal studio and well-known jam sessions. In addition to making his own music, Wilson is also a producer, engineer and custom guitar-maker. Whether he’s producing young artists like the band Dawes or collaborating with renowned artists like Erykah Badu, Jackson Browne, Robbie Robertson or Elvis Costello, Wilson is as dedicated, visionary and soulful as anyone in music today, qualities that can be heard in the many textures, layers and easy born nuances prevalent throughout Gentle Spirit.

Customer Highlight — Russian Circles

Chicago trio Russian Circles return with their fourth album – Empros . As with 2009’s Geneva, the album was produced by Brandon Curtis (Secret Machines, Interpol) at Chicago’s Phantom Manor Studio. The band picks up where the anthemic riffs and melodies of Geneva left off and injects evermore slithering rhythms amid skull-crushing heft with all the visceral intensity of Godflesh, Swans and Neurosis. Put simply, Empros is Russian Circles’ Master of Reality: a radical revision of both heavy and melody that is monolithic in its clarity and perfection.

Available everywhere on October 25!

Customer Highlight — Old Tapes

Just shipped! Two tracks from the new EP This Is Goodbye by Rochester’s Old Tapes – “Farewell” b/w “What I Need Tonite” on 7″ wax! All 7″ orders come with an instant digital download of the entire EP. You can preorder yours now!

You can also download both tracks from the 7″ at tympanogram, and This Is Goodbye is available now digitally at Old Tapes’ Bandcamp page.

Customer Highlight — Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass-Kickin Team

Check out the new LP by Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass-Kickin Team – More Smooth Jazz And Sweet Sweet Jams – hot off the press and headed to a town near you now courtesy of Doublenaught Records!

Instantly making you think truck-stop compilations with sun-soaked covers of a loving couple in daisy fields and track listings that were taken from LITE FM’s drive time. Two seconds in there’s nothing dreamily gauzy about Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass-Kickin Team. Propelling the tales is the sweet sweet sweetest musical intersection of the holy trio of power pop, bar-rock and what they called ‘alt-country.’ It’s a festival of unlimited hooks – I’m Your Radio, the breeziest tune ever made by Terry and the OAK Team, is a metaphor of all metaphors. Take the claim at face value and imagine a world where the Team is on your iTune’s speed dial – ”I’m the what you want to hear/I’m music to your ears” – ready to blast you out of that flowery meadow and drop you in the closest bar.

Pressed on heavy 185 gram wax, each LP includes a high-resolution FLAC download of the entire album!

Customer Highlight — The Graduate

The critically acclaimed debut album from The Graduate – Anhedonia is now available for the first time on vinyl (remastered specifically for this limited release) courtesy of American Dream Records.

There are several limited edition variants in the pressing — Black 180 gram vinyl, limited to 75 copies; Clear with Translucent Red & Black Splatter, limited to 100 copies; Translucent Red & Black Swirl, limited to 125 copies, and Red, limited to 150 copies.

In addition, vocalist Corey Warning has handwritten the lyrics to each track on Anhedonia, as well as “Gunslinger” and “We’re On The Same Page.” These lyric sheets are limited to one per song ,coming out to 14 total sheets, each completely unique from the other, are autographed by Corey, and will be inserted Willy Wonka Golden Ticket-style into 14 of the 75 Limited Edition orders.

Hit up American Dream Records to grab a copy, as each of these limited edition variants will probably not last very long….

Customer Highlight — The Fight

The Fight have been running together since the Spring of 2010. They go down to the basement and get to work. So far the songs just seem to flow. They don’t have anything to prove and they don’t try and be anything they’re not. They wear their influences on their sleeves, but they’re broad and varied from the sounds of Motown to punk and rock and roll.

In June 2010 they recorded their first cuts at a cabin at a lake in the woods. They laid things down as fast as they could, and when they didn’t quite finish what they had to finish at the lake, they tracked the rest in the spare room of lead vocalist Bradey Feil’s house. They released 3 of the demos as a free EP called Birds.

In 2011, they collaborated on their first full length album New Young Electric, recorded in Calgary, Alberta by the talented Robbie Josh Gwilliam (Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, George Canyon, The Rocky Fortune). We were honored when they contacted us in the summer to press this album on 180 gram wax, and would love for you to check it out. Hit up the band to grab a copy on wax (which also includes a digital version).
