Record Highlight — Constantine

Constantine’s debut LP Day Of Light will lead you on a lysergic odyssey filled with flute, sitar, Mellotron, electric harpsichord & more. The LP includes help from members of legendary ’71 folk psychedelic masterpiece O.W.L. (Of Wondrous Legends), including album art by Stephen Titra. A strong emphasis is placed on songwriting and arrangement, while the songs themselves have a Baroque, nuanced and hopeful atmosphere. Fans of the 1969/70 dense, delicate and psychedelic/folk psych sound need to get Day Of Light into your ears!

 

Record Highlight — Tapan

TAPAN is a duo from Belgrade. Title track, “The City”, takes few minutes to get going, but when it does… its like a James Chance/no wave saxophone on some kind of funky slo mo euro techno. The other 3 tracks drift in and out like some kind of night time fog on a glassy lake with live instruments/percussion peeping out from the hills. For deep and moody waistoids and freaks only.

 

Record Highlight — Daniel Martin Moore

DMM is from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He has released five albums to-date: three via Sub Pop, and two via his own OK Recordings (a label that possesses the clear aim of bringing some great tunes to some discerning ears). Often, you’ll find DMM working/recording/touring/drinking tea/throwing frisbee with Dan Dorff, Jr., Joan Shelley, Jim James, Kevin Ratterman, Dave Givan, Ben Sollee, and a whole host of other talented musicians from around the Commonwealth, the country, & the globe. His new record, Golden Age is available now!

 

Record Highlight – Peter Webb

Liminal Space cover art

Liminal Space is Atlanta artist Peter Webb‘s debut album. Through it, Webb shares his own perspective in territories of songwriting cliché: honesty, emotion, uncertainty, fear. The songs are informed by time spent in the wilderness as much as time spent in the urban environment; reflections on the paradox of a life split between the two. Expression through the medium of lyrical verse is the focal point here, supported musically by Webb and his peers. Overwhelmingly, the sentiments are about process — the process of deconstructing the dominant, damaging narratives of our society; the process of getting close to other people; the process of overcoming darkness; the process of subduing one’s own impediments to presence of mind and powerful experience.

 

Record Highlight — Spray Paint

Spray Paint

After an action-packed year of touring the world, Spray Paint return with their second LP of 2015, Dopers. It was recorded last August in the middle of 87 shows in 66 cities and in 12 different countries by Chris Woodhouse (The Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Mayyors). Easily the most hi fi they have ever been recorded, but without losing the scum. Moments of Jesus Lizard, Glenn Branca, Sister-era Sonic Youth come to mind at different points. Dopers is set for release October 23rd on Monofonus Press and you can cheek out the first smasher that debuted on Noisey.

Generation Wax

Thank you to everyone who attended this “historic” event at Gotta Groove Records last week.  For the first time in many decades, several lacquer engineers were in the same room with record platers, pressers, pvc manufacturers, blank lacquer disc manufacturers, and independent label/distributors to discuss the future of vinyl and how we can all work together to better serve our customers.  Stay tuned for future updates!
