Bears
S/T
PS, US Has been described as a record that recalls the tenderness of twee, the poeticism of Morrissey & the pop stylings of many of the bands on Manitee. And while the group shares an affinity for acts like Belle & Sebastian & Camera Obscura their music is pure unbridled pop. Catchy, care-free & most importantly, free of indie pretension.

Originally from South Wales, the band released one self financed single and were picked up by indie label Native. After two further singles they were signed by Sony imprint Epic and in the January 1989 released their debut long-player 'Pop Said' which reached No 23 in the UK National album charts.

Doleful Lions
Song Cyclops Volume 2
PS, US New collection of lofi bliss, winsome melodies, and trademark paranormal subject matter from Doleful Lions' Jonathan Scott. 22 songs include handful of covers: Beach Boys, Close Lobsters, The Crystals, Descendents,, Close Lobsters, and The Misfits. PITCHFORK: "Doleful Lions aim to purr and meow their way onto your lap in the damned most adorable way possible." /// UNCUT MAGAZINE: "Neo-psychedelic orch-pop, with chiming guitars and close vocal harmonies. The sound of dreams." /// ALL MUSIC GUIDE: "At this point, singer/songwriter Jonathan Scott and studio rat Dave Jackson are masters of mini-orchestration that can turn any song of their choosing into a swirling snow globe epic." /// CARELESS TALK COSTS LIVES: "Doleful Lions make a rather gorgeous whisper of sound; guitars picking out starlight bathed in swathes of keyboards; a rolling distant thunder of drums and voices that tiptoe... It's vaguely psychedelic, where thankfully the psychedelia is more the gentle thrill of Sagittarius than, say, the electric overdose and histrionics of a Hendrix or Cream. This is rock that doesn't rock at all, but sways, lost in summer breezes and the mythology of Smile bootlegs." /// GEAR MAGAZINE: "Prodigiously smart, criminally catchy indie pop."

Dumovich, Mike
Mesojunarian
PS, US Structured around razor-sharp fingerplucks rather than chords, Dumovich's lyrics often draw a chilly parallel between geography, weather & human emotions. Deeply thoughtful in the Nick Drake/Townes Van Zandt tradition. "Dumovich has a voice that sounds older than his time, and an intimate, emotionally raw delivery. Dumovich has remained mostly under the radar- he plays a brand of folk that may remind some of Will Oldham & Smog, but he's wholly his own creation." -Seattle Stranger

Headcount
Die Monkey
PS, UK Punky metal with an emphasis on melody headcount have never relied on what is hip and fashionable, preferring to follow their own path through the murky waters polluted by emo and nu-metal - that's why they stand out from the crowd quickly established for their uncompromising attitude, they've gained a reputation for being, in the words of many a soundman, "the loudest fuckin' band I've ever heard" musically compared to therapy, motorhead and killing joke, 2004 saw headcount team up with malicious damage to release their second album die monkey die, produced by paul raven of killing joke and martin ratcliffe of the legendary neon hearts Headcount rock like a bastardŠ from the system of a down on acid 1000 miles to the punk two-step of korea woman this trio are headed for great things - rock sound Headcount use their punk rock weaponry to crack heads and break ballsŠ they rock like hellbound pig-fucking devil dogs - nightshift It's bands like Headcount that make the often thankless task of wading through new 'talent' in search of a gem worthwhile - Kerrang! Špraise the production talents of messrs raven and ratcliffe for this sounds absolutely huuuuuge bung on some headphones and it feels like the band are actually playing inside your head - frighteningŠ this album ranges from the very good to the truly great, and should be placed upon your 'must buy' lists immediately - metalUK.

Huma
We Are Here For You
PS, US Huma is bound to cool down the hottest days of the summer like a tingling breeze at sundown, bound to the sounds of a nightfall chirping crush. With sweet melodies that make you want to hug your worst enemy, and pop numbers that leave you whistling tunes on trains, Huma is a New Brunswick triptych of country landscapes linked by fuzzy electrical lines and soggy patches of green grass. Originally formed as a means of defeating the northern Jersey duldrum known as suburbia, fraternally linked Brian & Laura joined with Jess to symbiotically create organic electronic music with whatever odd toys & instruments they could find. Together, they have sprouted through Jersey housing developments and between telephone lines to bring you the kaleidoscope of electro pop and moody, dreamy folk that is "We Are Here For You", their debut CD on Cult-Hero records. Huma have drawn comparisons to artists such as Mojave 3, Lali Puna, and The Radio Dept.

Hauling
PS, US Like his 2004 full-length debut Dang Blues, Hauling was recorded live in Jawbone's basement studio & continues to build on the raw, unpolished, unconventional blues sound of it's predecessor - pounding bass drum, tambourine stomps, hi-hat, manic electric slide guitar, amplified harmonica & a hard singing composed of whoops, moans, shouts, actual notes, yips & grunts in varying proportions. The album contains 12 new original compositions as well as a stripped-down cover of the Roger Miller honky-tonk classic Chug-a-Lug.

July Skies
Where Days Go
PS, UK July Skies is the musical project of Antony Harding, sometimes assisted by members of epic45 and Avrocar, who have all previously received airplay from the late John Peel and Rob Da Bank of BBC Radio 1, and also by Verity Sharp of BBC Radio 3. July Skies has previously released two albums with 2004's offering 'The English Cold' (Make Mine Music) recalling the English countryside and lost airman of the Second World War with sensitive effect. The album received many positive reviews (The Times & Sunday Times ****; The Independent ***; Uncut ***). 'Where The Days Go' is a 19 track collection of musical compositions which collects together a US radio session, 9 new unreleased tracks, two reworkings by epic45 and tracks from the deleted 'At The Height of Summer' 7" ep that was released in 2000 The collection is anchored in a midsummer haze of 1950/60s British countryside with the bluest wide open skies above. But beneath is deep melancholy; aspects of lost youth, innocence and memories of better days. Musically, think The Durutti Column, the melancholy of Piano Magic, Maurice Deebank (Felt), Robin Gutherie (Cocteau Twins) or even the acoustic debut album of Ben Watt prior to his Everything But The Girl days.An album to accompany you through the remaining days of summer.

Kiss
Gene Simmons - Pic LP
PS, US In 1978, Kiss simultaneously released solo albums from all four members. Gene Simmons, most associated with Kiss's heavier side, is revealed to be a closet Beatles fan as evidenced by "See You Tonite," "Always Near You," "Man of 1,000 Faces," and "Mr. Make Believe." But the surprises don't stop there: choirs and string arrangements, 70s funk, and good time rock n' roll also appear alongside of heavy rockers like hit single "Radioactive." This eclectic mix of material is supported by guests like Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, Bob Seger, Donna Summer, and Janis Ian. 180gm picture disc. Pic. LP

Peter Criss - Pic LP

Kiss
Ace Frehley - Pic LP
PS, US Considered the best of the four solo albums that Kiss released simultaneously in 1978, Ace Frehley does not stray far from Kiss's trademark heavy sound. With future David Letterman band members drummer Anton Fig and bassist Will Lee backing him up, Frehley shows that he is more than a songwriting match for bandmates Simmons and Stanley. In fact, the album yielded a Top 20 hit in "New York Groove." 180 gm picture disc. Pic. LP

Lucky Bishops
Unexpect the Expected
PS, US It's been a long time between drinks for fans of the eclectic UK psychedelic/power-pop magicians, but the lads' self-produced third album is now ready to storm the planet after a lengthy gestation period in the Dorset countryside. Inspired by the experience of living together in a haunted, rat infested, coastal cottage for four years, the band have written a collection of songs drawing on power-pop, psych-pop, folk-rock and even Tropicalia to create the unique blend found on this album. Previous releases on Bevis Frond's Woronzow label & Rubric. Typical of past releases, they split the song writing and lead vocals four ways over an instrumental palette of Hammond organ, piano, chiming valve driven guitars, glutinous bass and flowing and tumbling drums. It's unlikely a finer psych-pop record will be released this year.

Raf Bomber Command At War 1939-45 Volume 1
Historical Recordings (Spoken Word)
PS, UK 28 tracks. CD41 are proud to announce a 72 minute audio CD collection of rare archive recordings from the Second World War, featuring broadcast and actuality recordings made during RAF Bomber Command raids on Essen, Stettin, Kleve and Berlin in 1943, together with crew debriefs and war correspondent reports. Largely unheard for more than sixty years, these astonishing actuality recordings were made by plucky BBC engineers, who bravely joined the crews of Lancaster heavy bombers for night raids on German targets. The recordings were made on portable "midget" disc cutting machines plugged directly into the Lancaster's intercom system, and capture the drama as it unfolds of anti-aircraft fire, night fighter attack, evasive action, "bombs away" and the ever-present danger of mid-air collision. The war correspondents featured include such celebrated names as Wynford Vaughan Thomas, Edward R. Murrow and Richard Dimbleby. The CD also features recordings made by aircrew after returning safely to base, including an air gunner's account of the devastating raid on Dresden in February 1945, and a remarkable report on the daring raid on the Dortmund- Ems Canal in August 1940, for which the speaker (Flt Lt Roderick Learoyd) was awarded the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest gallantry award. The booklet features detailed recording and historical notes by James Hayward as well as rare photographs. All audio content has been carefully digitally restored for CD release. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the CD will be donated to the RAF Association. The CD is an absolute must for all historians and researchers, as well as collectors of archive sound and broadcast recordings. Also available on CD41: The Very Best of ITMA (CD41-004), British War Broadcasting 1938-1946 (CD41-007).

Satie, Erik
Musique de la Rose + Croix / Pages Mystiques / Uspud
PS, UK LTM is proud to announce a new CD in our series by visionary French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925), following the success of previous releases Vexations and Cocteau, Satie and Les Six, and presenting selected Satie recordings with explicit links to the unconventional, the mystic and the avant-garde. Musique de la Rose+Croix is a double disc set (94 minutes) of solo piano music comprising Satie's enigmatic Rosicrucian pieces (1891-1894) together with an instrumental version of the ballet score Uspud (1892) and the meditative works collected as the Pages Mystiques (1893). For a short period Erik Satie was appointed official composer for the esoteric Ordre de la Rose-Croix Catholique du Temple et du Graal, founded in Paris by the flamboyant mystic 'Sar' Joséphin Péladan. The first Salon de la Rose-Croix was held in March 1892, at which Satie's solemn Trois Sonneries de la Rose + Croix were performed for the first time. Satie also composed music for Péladan's play Le Fils des étoiles (Son of the Stars), as well as two preludes for a chivalric play, Le Nazaréen. Satie subsequently broke from the Order in August 1892. Subsequent works by Satie in the same vein include his remarkable 'Christian ballet' Uspud (1892), 'sacred' music intended to shock and ridicule the Parisian musical establishment, and the Pages Mystiques of 1983. The latter includes his celebrated piece Vexations, the score for which is just three lines long, yet a complete performance (840 repetitions) may last for anything between 14 and 28 hours. Satie's so-called 'Rosicrucian adventure' produced some of the composer's most enigmatic and extraordinary works, performed here by pianists Bojan Gorisek and Richard Cameron-Wolfe. The booklet of the double CD set includes detailed liner notes by James Hayward.

Shriekback
Cormorant
PS, UK The band, originally formed of refugees from xtc and gang of four now return with their eagerly awaited 10th album... cormorant, the latest offering, as with many of their previous releases, provokes and seduces in equal measures. a soulful, insistent and sometimes riotous collection of songs and distracting instrumentals, the album features the ever present musical heart of shriekback - the vocal and lyrical alchemy of barry andrews, and the percussive bedrock of martyn barker (who has written and played with billy bragg and the blokes, sarah jane morris, joseph arthur and innumerable others)...enriching this formidable partnership is a rare blend of shriek collaborators - mark raudva(co-production, mandolins & bass), carlo asciutti and wendy partridge (vocals) make a welcome return to spice up the mix, barry andrews' son finn takes a break from the veils to add some vocals, while shriek virgin andy partridge contributes some fiery guitar work, playing alongside barry andrews for the first time in the many years since the early incarnation of xtc...all beautifully designed and packaged in a four page card wallet along with four separate lyric cards here are a few snippets of popular opinion: "...these are songs that track the struggle to locate some stable emotional anchorage in an ocean of dread, not bothering to conceal contempt, but offering through inventive keyboard texture - part ENO, part Zawinul - a more sensitive response to the malaise of the age." --the independent.

But necessity has turned into an aesthetic, & Jensen doesn't think he'd ever like to record w/better equipment. "I think the lo-fi approach creates intimacy & it just feels more honest," he explains.

The Clock Machine Turns You On: Malicious Damage Sampler CD
PS, UK This iss a collection of new music gathered together over the last year. the original idea was to provide an outlet for bands and musicians who couldn't find one, but as word got around we were approached by numerous people who just wanted to be a part of the re-ignited malicious damage... the result is a unique assortment of unlikely stablemates from many different shades of the musical spectrum, but all with one thing in common - they just want to be heard...here's what the guardian had to say: The Clock Machine Turns You On is an intriguing and uplifting release (with splashes of colour from around the globe, including Sydney band Persuader and Oslo's Necessary Intergalactic Cooperation). The 16 featured bands were whittled down from "hundreds", says Coles. The album switches gleefully between rock, dance, punk, dub, ambient, folk, blues and electro-pop, and nestling among the clutch of new acts are some respected names from the British underground, such as Barry Andrews and Shriekback, KLF man Jimmy Cauty (with new act Transit Kings) as well as a track from the earlier Orb v Meat Beat Manifesto release.

Wire
Chairs Missing
PS, US With its Eno-esque synth textures, Chairs Missing has been often cited as the evolutionary link between punk and post-punk. In general, the lyrics are darker than those on Pink Flag, even morbid at times; images of cold, drowning, pain, and suicide haunt the record, and the title itself is a reference to mental instability. Originally released in 1978 and now available for the first time on 180 gram audiophile vinyl. Original artwork.

PS, US If Chairs Missing is the transition album from punk to post-punk, 154 is definitely of the latter genre. Synth moves to the forefront on this 1979 third album from Wire along with melodies that help humanize the electronic textures. Named for the number of gigs the band had played to that point, 154 shows how far this band had come in three years over three albums. Original artwork. First time on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

Audience
S/T (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE AUGUST 22ND)
PS, US Audience is one of the most interesting groups in the British panorama of the late 60s/early 70s. Their sound was a manifestation of their desire to experiment with & masterfully blend different musical styles, such as rock, folk, jazz & blues. If we must make comparisons, Jethro Tull immediately leaps to mind, particularly for the band's use of flute. Audience gained moderate notoriety thanks to their constant gigging & they soon released this 1969 self-titled debut, which featured an excellent use of (predominantly acoustic) guitar (Howard Werth) and equally high-quality flute, sax & clarinet playing (Keith Gemmell), not to mention the distinctive voice of Werth, and their simple, but effective arrangements (in a period when pomp prog rock reigned supreme). "Maiden's Cry," brings to mind "Stairway To Heaven," but it was actually written 2 years before the Zeppelin-penned opus. An excellent debut here feat. 3 bonus tracks.

The 2nd core element is the choice of just one thematic note per song, around which each track is built & balanced.

Axis of Blood (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE AUGUST 22ND)
PS, US Extras: CR-ROM track with live videos from May 11, 2006, T.T. the Bear's Place, Cambridge, Mass., to play on computers and video iPods. Money puts experimental music back into a rock music context where the onslaught of noise can be expressionist rather than intellectual, where music can be enjoyed simply as entertainment, and where musicians are allowed to be rock stars. An award winning composer and vocalist combines extraordinary extended expression with macho beats and extreme oscillator abuse. Simultaneously channelling the sprit of Throbbing Gristle, the mayhem of Pan Sonic, the terror of Diamanda Galas, and the other-worldly artificiality of Xenakis, Blood Money delivers at the intersection of metal, noise, electro and experimental. Jon Whitney has played various instruments in various bands since his teenage years but is far too embarrassed to own up to being in any of them. He's more known for being a DJ, VJ, web developer, video documentor, and founder of Brainwashed.com.

Melds together Mould's angry, angular power-pop tendencies with Morel's hazy, house-fueled electronica. The result is nothing less than a superb album that offers the listener a level of musical adventurousness & stunning song craft that has no equal in the pop, rock or dance music worlds today.

"Happy Hollow" is an expansion of their trademark discordant swell, marked by a new bounce, a buoyant strut, and a recognition that hey, this is fun. Dissonant yet distinctively melodic guitar sounds and front man Kasher's ever-cathartic yowl now mesh and clash with horns, piano, accordion, and other instruments. The themes addressed here include shattered American dreams, small town malaise, and religious hypocrisy. Never repeating themselves, always pushing forward artistically, and never settling, Cursive raise the bar with yet another groundbreaking record.

"Thresholds" is a CD that Detritus had to write before being able to move on to new grounds.

They're a wildfire waiting to happen. Stand back. No, come closer.

DJ Shadow
The Outsider (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE SEPTEMBER 19TH)
PS, US A record that will confound those who believed they had Shadow pigeonholed. Working with several different vocalists, in styles spanning everything from hyphy, the Bay Area's newest hip hop hybrid, to folk; from aggressive hardcore rock to left-field alternative dance music, the album is an almost schizophrenic collection from an artist to whom loving music and making music are just two sides of the same coin. Features: Artifact (Instrumental), a relic of Shadow's work on an abandoned solo LP by former Rage Against The Machine front man Zack De La Rocha."3 Freaks",which features the hyphy emcees Keak DaSneak and Turf Talk,was the impetuous, inspired result of Shadow's love-at-first-listen affair with the Bay's answer to crunk. "Seein' Thangs", featuring Mississippi's finest, David Banner, Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno and Christopher Karloff were introduced to Shadow by his engineer, and "TheTiger"was the standout result. Even Bay Area icon E-40 is in there, rapping about "the legendary DJ Shadow." Hip Hop Legend Q-Tip and Lateef The Truth Speaker are featured on the single "ENUFF" with UK crooner "Chris James" featured on the first single "You Made It."

Early Day Miners
Offshore (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE AUGUST 22ND)
PS, US Mentored by Daniel Lanois, Daniel Burton has been putting his project-oriented stamp on a variety of records the last ten years and it has all coalesced into this career-defining work. "Offshore" is one continuous piece, made up of six distinct songs. It's equally beautiful and noisy, composed though loose, akin to the late '80s/early '90s 4AD-laden world of shoegaze wash-rock like Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Mark Hollis, their predecessor Peter Gabriel, or modern day saint William Basinski. In the Lanois/Eno tradition, Burton collected an all-star cast to flesh out his vision with members of Horace Pinker, Olo, Black Mountain, Windsor For The Derby, Unwed Sailor, and Tortoise.

Egan, Bob
The Glorious Decline (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE SEPTEMBER 5TH)
PS, US Americana steel guitarist has played with Wilco, Freakwater, Blue Rodeo, Billy Bragg, Neko Case, Cowboy Junkies, Sadies, Jason Collette and more. His 3rd solo record started out as an ambient pedal steel instrumental record and ended up 18 months later a nine song lush soundscape of confessional lament inspired by the flow and structure of classical music using textured pedal steel, classical piano & vibes. Beautiful.

El Boxeo
Awake & Dreaming (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE AUGUST 29TH)
PS, US Awake, the first half of the album, is the band as the band- the three main members playing their songs live, with minimal experiments/production frill. With Awake, the band presents its stripped down violin/bass/drums sound, just as one might encounter in the normal live setting. Dreaming, a long-brewed idea of surrealism & the subconscious, finds the band under no limitations, representing both dreams as songs & songs as dreams. Adding to the mix, Dreaming is chock full of instruments, noises & voices (cello, viola, piano, a door, flute, trombone, saxophone, trumpet, twigs, keys, organ, bells) creating an ever changing, occasionally hallucinatory flow of moods & imagery. "I've never heard post-punk with violin before & damned if it doesn't work fairly well... A great combination of tone & texture." -Splendid.com.

Eluvium
When I Live By The Garden (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE AUGUST 22ND)
PS, US Over the course of three albums, Eluvium (a.k.a. Matthew Cooper) has crawled from total obscurity to his rightful place as one of America's premier modern composers. His fan base includes Death Cab For Cutie, Explosions In The Sky, and The Album Leaf. In fact, of the nearly twenty new Temporary Residence releases last year, Eluvium's "Talk Amongst The Trees" showed up on more Top 10 lists than all others combined. Even more surprising is the fact that his music is missing two traditionally crowd-pleasing elements: a beat and a voice. This record is a companion piece to "Talk Amongst The Trees", and it showcases both the neoclassical piano-driven elegance and the tidal drones that he's become almost famous for.

Felipe, Dino
Dinosaur Bones & Pyramids (PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE AUGUST 29TH)
PS, CANADA DINOSAUR BONES & PYRAMIDS finds former member of Old Bombs and Fukktron DINO FELIPE layering intoxicated melodies against waves of coke-rush electro beats & psychedelic synth soundscapes. Catchy vocal heavy tracks like "ripped & shit" and "ovulation celebration" featuring OTTO VON SCHIRACH are refreshingly inventive, and undeniably infectious. DINOSAUR BONES & PYRAMIDS is 13 upbeat and engaging tracks on CD format. Not just just dsp mayhem for comp sci kids with short attention spans, this is real music! Dino Felipe has made "music" since the age of 6 on tape recorders embracing the 4track at age 16 and ever since filling tapes up with musik, until he financed a gateway when he was 21. Now an agoraphobic hermit he makes music whenever something inspires him: flies, death, ghosts, quantum physics, and quantum physiques as well in the right bedroom. Dino was in what are now called "noise" bands from the age 16-21, although he hates the label "noise", only because he strictly believes it is MUSIC. If attempted to be described Dino's music is psychedelic, electronic, with large pop infusion and piles of ideas compressed into a song. Dino pushes boundaries by tricking you, confusing your expectations, and hurting your ears BUT: most of all it is post-apocalyptic pop.

Ferrari, Luc
Far-West News(PRE-ORDER: SALEABLE SEPTEMBER 19TH)
PS, US Constructed from field recordings, narration, & overlaid electronic-music fragments. The electronic interruptions read as representations of musical accompaniment: herky-jerky musical phrases are slathered ex post facto atop the sounds of a foundry, a Garth Brooks-ish singer-songwriter, a walk in Death Valley. These David Lynchian sonic interruptions of the everyday have a found-object quality that's central here It's an utterly unexpected & utterly gorgeous bliss-out & is laden w/ surprises.
