New record pressing – Bilders – Neverlasting.

Bilders new album is a mix of psychic adventures, hard psychedelia and commentary with a bite. Bilders have always sung outliers with a heap of empathy—exploitation of migrants, unmitigated killing and the state of our depleted planet. This album maintains an analog feel with technical finesse as it casts a cold eye on uses and abuses of power in the higher echelons. It is pure Bilders. Surprise collaborations bring in fresh tangents of colour and emotional edge. “We are the Neverlasting renter-squatters of Earth exhausted”.

The band is once again the voice/guitar of Bill Direen, bass of Matt Swanson and near everything else by Alex McManus, with guesting by former Bilders. It’s the same lineup as last year’s acclaimed Dustbin of Empathy, and the first ‘core’ Bilders lineup to remain constant for more than one album. The new compatibility shows. It’s an album that builds on current strengths.

Notable guestings include Athens Georgia lights Claire Horne of 1980s BBQ Killers, and Curtiss Pernice, guitarist of heavy vanguard Porn Orchard, with a snook-in from experimental and electronic prince Todd Gerber. Two never-released tunes by vintage Bilders (Stu Page and Greig Bainbridge) sit perfectly with the new material. This is quite simply the strongest Bilders album ever. 

Co-released by Grapefruit Records and Carbon Records.

New record pressing — JEFF The Brotherhood featuring Blanc Du Blanc – Magick Songs In Dub.

Soul Selects Records presents an immersive four-song journey that reimagines JEFF The Brotherhood’s 2018 double-LP Magick Songs through the hypnotic lens of dub. Guided by spectral sound alchemist Blanc du Blanc, these live, unadulterated mixes plunge deep into echo and low-end ritual—where riffs dissolve into astral repeats, basslines breathe, and structure blurs into feel. Captured direct-to-stereo at Soul Selects Studio (Hopewell, NJ), the set reframes the band’s fearless, genre-melting spirit as a sound system séance.

The Limited-edition vinyl ships out on or around 10/31/2025. Available via Soul Selects.

New record pressing – Willi Carlisle – Winged Victory:

On his fourth studio (and first self-produced) album, Winged Victory, Carlisle returns with his signature blend of traditionally-rooted folk music and kaleidoscope of oddball characters to confer with his core tenets in more overt and provocative ways. Intent on creating art and a well-rounded life in a broken world, Carlisle directly addresses the hope that by understanding our collective suffering we might be free of it. Rather than a manifesto, the eleven songs on Winged Victory should be understood as a reflection. They revel in the beauty of tiny, monetarily-worthless moments and things, offering with them a consideration of our innate humanity.
