Information
APHEX TWIN
DIGERIDOO (2X12" EXPANDED) 		cover
R&S
This 1992 EP has been unavailable for over 20 years & it's now been expanded for this 2024 reissue. "Didgeridoo" is regarded as one of the finest moments in Richard D. James' ridiculously stacked discography. Supposedly he wrote the track to tire people out dancing at the end of raves in Cornwall. At over 7 minutes, this heavy track actually tracked in the U.K. back then. We're really stoked to have this back in the racks again. RECOMMENDED.

New LP $28.99
MONTGOMERY, ROY
TEMPLE IV (2LP) 		cover
Kranky
First ever vinyl release for Roy Montgomery's legendary 1995 album "Temple IV." Montgomery got his start in the New Zealand band PIN GROUP who were associated with the who's who of the Kiwi sound at the time. In 1994 Roy released a record on Kranky with the band DADAMAH & soon after made his way to New York City. While there he recorded two albums including this one on a 4 track machine with a cheap guitar & a few effects pedals. Long form guitar jams with drone elements that fit in somehwere between POPOL VUH, the drony side of V.U., German legends Achim Reichel & Manuel Gottsching. This one is absolutely epic. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

New LP $28.99
FINOM
NOT GOD (RED VINYL) 		cover
Joyful Noise
FINOM or the artist(s) formerly known as OHMME return with a new album "Not God" in 2024. The extremely talented duo of Macie Stewart & Sima Cunningham are deeply entrenched in the Chicago music scene but FINOM is clearly their baby. Produced by Jeff Tweedy with his son Spencer playing drums, "Not God" perfectly displays Macie & Sima's abilities as players & songwriters. Hints of THE ROCHES, SPARKS, B-52s & even ESG. Another great one from these gifted Chicagoans.

New LP $21.99
MACKAY, BILL
LOCUST LAND 		cover
Drag City
The prolific Chicago based guitarist Bill Mackay is back with a new one in 2024 called "Locust Land." We're not sure if Bill was aware of the incoming 2024 locust invasion or not but the title certainly seems prescient. This one has some nice variety with John Martyn-esque solo tunes, jammy instrumentals & nods at POPOL VUH. RECOMMENDED.

New LP $21.99
GASTR DEL SOL
WE HAVE DOZENS OF TITLES (3LP BOX SET) 		cover
Drag City
There was a period of about 5 years or so in the early/mid 90s where GASTR DEL SOL was one of the most exciting & mysterious groups. The duo included David Grubbs, best known then as the ex-member of bands like SQUIRREL BAIT, BASTRO & BITCH MAGNET & Jim O'Rourke, then based in Chicago & well known for his experimental music & engineering projects. This set collects outtakes, live recordings & compilation tracks, some of which are released for the first time here. Their mix of folk guitar, avant piano pieces & chopped-up electronics sounds just as exciting now as it did 25 years ago. RECOMMENDED.

New LP $64.99
SHELLAC
TO ALL TRAINS 		cover
Touch & Go
It's a surreal time. Just a few weeks ago we were excited about getting the first SHELLAC album in 10 years. Now we all know it's their last one. Back in 2019 the band was kind enough to play at Reckless in honor of our 30th anniversary. Most of their set was made up of instrumentals that we can all hear now on "To All Trains." Steve, Bob & Todd really made it worth the wait. Inventive arrangements, instantly memorable riffs, mind boggling drum ideas, that dry SHELLAC wit & of course an amazing recording. A Fitting end to one of the best bands of the last 30 years.

New CD $13.99
GENDRON, MYRIAM
MAYDAY 		cover
Feeding Tube
One of our favorite current artists Myriam Gendron returns with her third album "Mayday." Her previous albums have mostly contained folk standards with lyrics taken from Dorothy Parker poems. This is the first album of mostly Gendron originals. Her playing is efficient but formidable. Seeing her play live is mind blowing because she's so consistent & doesn't seem to make any mistakes. Gendron is joined by Marissa Anderson & Jim White (DIRTY THREE) on 3 tunes & hearing her play with others expands her sound remarkably. Fans of Karen Dalton, Sibyelle Baier, Gillian Welch, Leonard Cohen need to hear this. RECOMMENDED.

New LP $25.99
PALLBEARER
MIND BURNS ALIVE (2LP, ORANGE VINYL) (w/ ETCHING)		 cover
Nuclear Blast
PALLBEARER continue to get cleaner & more polished & we're totally ok with it. "Mind Burns Alive" pushes them further into 70s rock/prog territory with serious nods at PINK FLOYD, songs that sound like RUSH at half speed, TOOL & even ALICE IN CHAINS at times. A solid listen.

New LP $29.99
BROADCAST
SPELL BLANKET (2LP) COLLECTED DEMOS 2006-2009		 cover
Warp
Big 36 track collection of demos and sketches from Trish Keenan & BROADCAST's productive post-"Tender Buttons" period of 2006-09. This should scratch the same itch that their "Microtronics" series does, as well as the third demo LP of STEREOLAB's reissue campaign of the last few years. VERY RECOMMENDED!
Available at: Belmont and Loop
New LP $36.99
BNNY
ONE MILLION LOVE SONGS (LTD. RED VINYL) 		cover
Firetalk
This second record from Chicago's own Jess Viscius and BNNY is a turn around from the stark heartbreak of the band's debut with songs about love, lust and romance built on rich, gauzy arrangements that recall ALVVAYS, SNAIL MAIL and (for an older vintage) MAZZY STAR.
