Captain Beyond - Self-Titled (Fontana/Island) CD $10.00
Listen: Myopic Void • Thousand Days of Yesterdays
Saturday Shift: First CD in the player today ain't new in any way, shape or form, but a proverbial blast from the past in the form of proggy, early-'70s supergroup Captain Beyond (featuring members of Iron Butterfly and Deep Purple), which has been totally frying our mynds in recent weeks. Maybe it's the heat (or the humidity) but we've been pleasantly overwhelmed by CB's baroque guitar-rock alchemies, symptoms include glassy eyes and shit-eating grins. [more detail]

David Kilgour & Sam Hunt - Falling Debris (Arch Hill)
CD $12.25 Listen: Chord • Every Time It Rains Like This
Our New Zealand shipment has arrived. New 2009 album by NZ Rock Godfather Dave Kilgour (The Clean, amongst others) find him paired up with Kiwi poet laureate Sam Hunt. Hunt supplies the lyrics and Kilgour the voice and tunes, backed breezily by his band, The Heavy Eights. There’s a hint of Dylan, of Lloyd Cole and even some Go-Betweens déjà vu. An excellent addition to Kilgour’s previous solo work, ie: effortlessly dreamy folk-pop. [more detail]

Died Pretty - Free Dirt [expanded re-issue] (Aztec Music)
DCD $25.00 Listen: Blue Sky Day • Ambergris
Finally restocked! One of the all time classic Australian indie albums. Sydney jangle-rockers Died Pretty's magnificent 1986 debut in deluxe, expanded form, adds three early singles, the Next To Nothing EP and ten unreleased demos/live tracks. Expect fiery, cinematic guitar-n-organ rock frosted in psychedelia; of the 80s, but as urgent and grand today as it was 20+ years ago. For fans and era explorers alike. [more detail]

White Swan Black Swan - Self-Titled (Arch Hill)
DCD $12.25 Listen: Zona Rosa • Super 8 Movies
Our New Zealand shipment has arrived. First up, a pair of mini-albums from White Swan (Sonya Waters) and Black Swan (Arch Hill label honcho Ben Howe) that slink and sway through a slew of echoing neo-folk and lambent psychedelia, bringing to mind Mazzy Star, The Triffids (truly), Nick Cave and even our own Horse's Ha. Highly recommended. [more detail]

Surf City - Self-Titled (Morr Music) CD5 $7.00
Listen: Headin' Inside
Special offer: The debut EP from the hottest new band in New Zealand at a special price. Surf City's spectacularly solarized noise-pop-drone brings to mind Classic Kiwi Sounds like The Chills and The Clean, with nods to Animal Collective, Jesus & Mary Chain, even the Zombies! Six songs. Made of awesome. Highly recommended. [more detail]

Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound - When Sweet Sleep Returned
(Tee Pee) CD $15.00
Listen: Kolob Canyon • Two Stage Rocket
Mindbending: The latest album from San Fran's best psych band, which could be the best throwback psych album of the year. Friendlier and more peaceful-eyed than Austin's Black Angels, more expansive and retro-fit than Frisco brethren Wooden Shjips, with just a touch of Crystal Antlers ferocity (more ferocious on previous album, Ekranoplan).

The Coral Sea - Firelight (Red Clover) CD $10.00
Listen: More Than You Know • I Know You'll Find A Way
The Coral Sea gets their DIY on and self-releases the follow-up to their righteous 2006 Hidden Agenda release, Volcano & Heart. Led by the silver-voiced Rey Villalobos, The Coral Sea continues to attain and explore a gorgeous shoegaze-guitar apogee that finds them in the same rarified atmospheres as Mercury Rev, Slowdive, Sigur Ros and The Verve, with a dash of Pixies-styled bombast.

Comet Gain - Broken Record Prayers
(What's Your Rupture?) CD $12.75
Listen: Jack Nance Hair • Beautiful Despair
We’re not sure how we avoided falling in love with Comet Gain back in the day, when we really should have, but this collection of singles and odds-n-sods might be one of our favorite album of The Spring, The Year and then some; and makes us even more mortified that we’re jumping on this band’s wagon so very late. A collection of CG’s gloriously noisy pop recorded during the last decade, available on CD and now deluxe DLP vinyl in a gatefold Stoughton jacket. [more detail]

Akron Family - Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free (Dead Oceans)
CD $11.50 Listen: Everyone Is Guilty • They Will Appear
Mega- and meta- indie-prog fancifulness that somehow manages to evoke questions like “Primus?”, "Fela Kuti?", "Tortoise?" and “Queen?” while retaining good ol’ American guitar rock grit-n-bluster and a Sly hipswinging funk…all in the first song! We could fill the page with name-dropping but suffice it to say the genre-defying Family has filled the proverbial kitchen sink with proverbial kitchen sinks. [more detail]
