Welcome to another solid 7″ release from our buds over at Group Tightener — Fungi Girls Owsley Knows / Glare #2 7″.
Fungi Girls are three high school kids from Texas. They’ve released records on Hozac, Play Pinball and Psychic Lunch. For their Group Tightener release, the trio recorded twin bursts of catchy garage-psych that will force its way into your brain and probably chill there for months and months. Throw it in the jukebox and drop the quarter in…over and over. Limited to 500 copies!
Friends, we are delighted to announce the release of Paradise of Bachelors’ inaugural album, “Said I Had a Vision”: Songs & Labels of David Lee, 1960-1988 (PoB-01). This first-ever anthology of David Lee’s career as songwriter, performer and recording artist, record label owner, producer, record store proprietor, and all-around impresario includes fourteen songs by ten artists, twelve of which have never before been reissued. Each package includes a SCOP Gospel newsletter from 1988, a coupon for free digital download of the entire record, and a deluxe 8-page 11 x 11″ booklet containing more than 10,000 words of essays, track-by-track notes, and discographical information drawing from several years of friendship, research, record collecting, and personal interviews.
You can preview and grab a copy at various independent record stores around the country, or directly from Paradise of Bachelors.
Thank you to Mark Utley and Magnolia Mountain for asking GGR to press the group’s first LP, Nothing As It Was. We first worked with Magnolia Mountain in June 2010 on their newest release double-LP, Redbird Green.
Magnolia Mountain is a blue collar, DIY band who write and perform their own material, a mix of folk, country, blues, bluegrass and other American music styles. All eight members work day jobs and reinvest every penny the band makes into recording and releasing their albums.
You can grab a copy of both Nothing As It Was and Redbird Green directly from the band or at a variety of independent record stores.
Adam Smith and his Invisible Hand have been producing some of the best punk-laced pop gems and quietly experimenting with home-recording under the radar for the past four years; hitting their stride off a series of split 7” EP releases with Naked Gods (Boone, NC), The Alphabet (Harrisonburg, VA) and Borrowed Beams of Light (Charlottesville, VA). With the Funny / Not Funny Records release of Invisible Hand, the band is ready to expand their devoted-listener base.
GGR is proud to have pressed their latest full-length album, Invisible Hand. You can grab a copy from Funny/Not Funny Records.
On Rhetoric, Matt Scheuermann writes songs of every day life, of and for the people he knows, the ones he doesn’t, and all things that seem absurd and beautiful about this world. His frequently life-affirming, and quasi-existentialist lyrics function well with his versatile, dynamic vocals, which can shift from a colorful forte to a soft piano in the snap of a finger.
The Rhetoric LP is the first vinyl title released by Shout Out Loud Prints, which happens to also be a killer screen printing studio in Columbus, Ohio. They print a variety of shirts, paper products, buttons, and of course, record jackets.
(oh yeah, in true analog style, they also handle cassette tape duplication and screen printing)
Hot off the presses – thanks to Joey at 6131 Records for enlisting us to press the Pedestals EP from Such Gold. The record features intricate etched artwork on the b-side, and is available in three limited-run colors – pure white, blue/white marble, and orange/white/clear/blue marble.
Pre-order packages are online at 6131 Records. You can also grab a copy from the band – they are currently on tour. Select independent record stores will also be carrying the record soon….
