If you haven’t heard of the Chicago group Gaberdine, you need to check them out. In their own words, they are a “quiet indie rock band that colors melodic, bittersweet songs with lush textural sounds. The conception of mark federighi, gaberdine creates artful music with subtle hooks and intriguing instrumentation.”
The band hired GGR to press their new LP last month– Stay tuned to their website for updated live shows, and for where you can grab a copy for yourself!
Boyd Shropshire grew up on a swath of eastern Florida land on the Atlantic known as the Space Coast. Since then he has been piecing together collages of sound from a seemingly bottomless well of psychedelic pop and noise-folk imagination. He recently hired GGR to press his first full-length vinyl LP, Color The Years on clear wax.
You can hit up his official release show on Saturday, October 16 at Bruar Falls in Brooklyn [NY].
Kane Ikin (b. 1982) and Paul Fiocco (b. 1984) live and work out of separate states in Australia. Solo Andata began in 2006 with their debut album Fyris Swan on Chicago label Hefty Records. Solo Andata’s compositions are created through the collaboration of sound from organic materials, field recordings, and instruments. Their last record was recorded for 12k in Perth, Melbourne, Yallingup, Mundaring, and New York between 2007 – 2009 and was released in September 2009. GGR is proud to have pressed their third album, Ritual for Desire Path Recordings last month. You can grab a copy here.
Here comes another amazing release from Deathwish Inc. (cd is available through Epitaph) — Converge‘s 2006 album entitled No Heroes came hot off the presses here at GGR a few weeks ago. The LP (available in three different vinyl colors) is available for purchase from Deathwish, and select retailers around the country.
No Heroes, is known for how the band brilliantly combines the textural sonics of 2004’s You Fail Me with the brutal assault of 2001’s Jane Doe.
The Hot Seats were formed eight years ago (2002) in Richmond, VA as a good-time band between new friends, many of whom were exploring a genre unknown to them on equally novel instruments. It started with weekly gig, rapidly followed by trips out of town, festival appearances, longer tours, new music, new influences, competition-winning performances (both individually and as an ensemble) three critically acclaimed trips to the UK, and five albums.
The band’s Graham DeZarn enlisted GGR to press their latest EP on black 7″ vinyl. You can grab a copy from the band at one of their shows, or reach out to them at thehotseats[at]gmail[dot]com.
Recently, we were approached by the Chicago-based record label Graveface Records to press a special glow-in-the-dark 7″ by the band The Marshmallow Ghosts. As a bonus, Ryan and Michael from Graveface happened to be driving through Cleveland when the records were finished, so we got to meet them in person…we always love that. Thanks guys!
Stay tuned to the Graveface Records website for when this extremely cool 7″ release comes out in October!
