Record Highlight — The Anchor Windlass

The Anchor Windlass formed in Minneapolis in the fall of 2009 with Anton, Danger, Gabe, and Max Peters.  In the summer of 2010 Max left the band and Minneapolis to live in a town with a much worse music scene, but better lakes and school systems.  Shortly thereafter, Nick Johnson was recruited to play lead guitar and tell us on what gear to buy.  Since then The Anchor Windlass has played a whole slew of gigs around the Twin Cities with a whole host of really rad local bands.

Thanks to the guys for hiring GGR to press the band’s debut LP, Fair Winds and Following Seas — we just shipped them out this week, so be sure to stay tuned to the band to grab a copy.

Record Highlight — The Strange Attractors

Austin psych-rock luminaries The Strange Attractors are back with their boldest release on Past/Futures Records to date.  Midnight at Xochil’s is the third full length for the Austin, Texas based quartet, which includes former and current members of the Riverboat Gamblers and the Ugly Beats, among others.

After 6 years of searing psych rock nihilism, band founder Jeremy Diaz’s vision to streamline the sound is realized with Xochil’s — a group of beautifully written songs, simplistic in their sophistication. From raging psych rock tension ala Spacemen 3 to soft Jesus and Mary Chain-inspired lullaby/dirges, the album is  delivered with a maturity and confidence not yet seen from the band, and in turn proves to be the most honest.

Producer Che Arthur was on hand in Austin with Engineer Michael Landon (Okkervil River, Neil Michael Hagerty) for the fiendishly paced 4 day recording session. Afterwards the record was taken to Chicago for mixing and mastering. Theres something for everyone here – the lineage of old Texas psych rock is still prevelant, and new fans are sure to enjoy the evolution of a group that is constantly breaking new ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — The Soil & The Sun

the Soil & the Sun is corn-fed, Michigan-made New Mexican Space Music, or Experiential Spiritual Folk. Originating in 2008 as two-piece, the band has grown and matured into an eight-piece community of friends and musicians. Oboe, violin, cello, guitars, accordion, percussion, piano, and vocals, cooperate to create complex harmonies, layered melodies, and driving rhythms. The careful orchestration and intentional instrumentation will speak to your soul.

You can now grab Wake Up Child on limited edition vinyl, which features revamped and re-recorded versions of songs by the group from the past three years, all wrapped up as a cohesive new LP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — Apples In Stereo

Fun Trick Noisemaker was the first full-length installment in the ongoing musical journey that has grown out of Apples In Stereo frontman Robert Schneider’s infatuation with recording techniques; ranging from four-track bedroom recordings to 100-track studio experiments, to creating new musical scales and mind-controlled synthesizers. Not to mention his ongoing obsession with writing the perfect pop song, a song “that even little kids or your grandparents can sing along with,” as Schneider put it at the time. That creative journey continues until this day. But more than just a starting point, Fun Trick Noisemaker stands on its own today as a masterpiece in the indie rock canon, featuring some of the band’s most loved and indelible tracks such as: “Green Machine”; “Glow Worm” and “Tidal Wave” (featuring one of the most rip roaring lead guitar lines ever put to wax.)

 

Record Highlight — Bryter Layter

Comprised of Joseph Raglani (Kranky) and Mike Pollard (Arbor), Bryter Layter is a collaborative unit that focuses on the lyrical faculties of analog synthesis. For the most part, these recordings find the pair eschewing the at-times unfocused, long-form drone techniques that have become fixtures in the scene in favor of short, melodic compositions that are strikingly rich in detail. Listeners familiar with the oeuvres of Raglani and Pollard will find much to love here. As the pillow-soft, analog tone-clouds that characterize the latter’s work as Pale Blue Sky find themselves wed to the highly structured, dynamic arrangements that one associates with the former’s solo output.”Two Lenses” is rich and cinematic, rife with evocative motifs which ebb and flow from one piece to the next creating, over the course of the album, a masterfully composed, unified whole.

Recorded live and meticulously arranged by Raglani at his home studio, and mastered by Greg Davis to supreme effect, Two Lenses (released by Students of Decay) builds upon and extends the qualities established on the pair’s 2009 cassette release “Imprinted Season” in every way. Their work here runs the gamut from maudlin and picturesque to profoundly hopeful always with an eye towards the beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — King Dude

King Dude‘s Love LP is dark pagan-fueled folk wrapped tight with outsider Americana, steeped in themes of love, death and redemption. …an atmosphere filled with hope and salvation, drawing sound influence akin to Death In June & Sol Invictus but sewing together a hybrid of true folk tradition alongside Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash. Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. The records come in thick die-cut cardstock sleeves revealing beautiful inner sleeve printed artwork beneath. Designed by T.J. Cowgill.
