From Hi Shadow Records
{ HS07 } { Cassette }
Following up splits with Weed Diamond & Ouija and his debut EP, Interracial Coupling, Ancient Crux’s Travis Von Sydow returns with his second extended play. Stage Fright showcases undocumented territory that is not touched upon on any other Ancient Crux release. From the swirling organ on the title track to the post punk rhythms of “Man Running” or the french pop-esque feel of “Alma Reville”. Stage Fright is an eclectic mix of songs and it showcases Von Sydow’s songwriting ability. Includes bonus recording of an Ancient Crux live set at Pehrspace in Los Angeles, CA. Pro-printed covers/labels and hand scored. Artwork by Travis Von Sydow. (Originally released as a CDR on Bridgetown Records.)$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Ancient Crux "2011 Tour EP"
From Bridgetown Records
{ Bridgetown57 } { Cassette }
Travis Von Sydow and crew follow up a lengthy Summer tour and recent split 7" vinyl releases with Norse Horse and Weed Diamond with a sophisticated collection of new songs that flirt with an aura of elegance and grace rarely seen in the home-taping underground. Von Sydow's meticulous craftsmanship of densely layered pop-rock/post-punk songs are richly complemented by producer Tyler Haran, lending this EP a sense of patient maturity and development rarely seen in releases hastily prepared before hitting the road. Limited to 100 copies for July tour with Kevin Greenspon. Glossy printing$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Ancient Crux/Ouja "split"
From Hi Shadow Records
{ HS02 } { cassette }
On this merging of two modern punk heart throbs, Ancient Crux brings some of, if not his best songs yet; smearing driving punk rhythms with big hooks all over the place. Having mastered the art of pop songwriting, AC interjects his own sense of art into the formula, for great effect (and amazingly catchy songs). Ouija, from Florida, lays down his technique on his three pieces of poetic punk. Lyrically Ouija seems a cut above the rest, he knows how to use his words and craft said words into hook-filled songs you could be singing for days. This is Ancient Crux’s second release and Ouija’s first release save for the inclusion on some compilations. Inner Art by ART:CMR. Limited to 100, professionally printed covers and labels. Hand numbered.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Cthulhus, The "Songs From the Slipstream 09-11"
From Juniper Tree Songs
{ JTS003 } { cassette }
from Suave Citation "The feeling I get when listening to The Cthulhus cassette that Juniper Tree Songs released earlier this year is unlike anything I have felt in awhile. I feel totally insecure, freaked out, and pleased all at once. There is a charm to this band that is sort of incomprehensible and on their cassette “Songs From The Slipstream ’09-‘11” it is made clear that this band was absolutely one to be seen in their existence. This tape has a special quality that all good outsider artists are able to include in their records. This sort of meaningless nostalgia that puts the listener in a corner and begs them to remember, that which never happened, a made up memory that opens up an entirely new world. Much like the work of HP Lovecraft the Cthulhus are really hard to digest at times. It’s taken me about 20 listens to get all the way through this tape without a break. My favorite track on here is “Glass” which starts out the B-side. It’s a pretty straightforward punk jammer with these weird whisper vocals and lots of weird guitar effects and at times vocal delay. The whispering literally almost seems to cut into you like Glass it is pretty intense. I am still really soaking this release in but there is something for everyone on here, weird noise slams, and casio drum beats layered with weird organ licks, and the occasional flanger heavy guitar. Truly an eight legged beast this one. The tape is pro dubbed and is really nice and adds to the consistently quality output and lo-fi bedroom vibe of young Californian label Juniper Tree Songs. This tape is really good, really weird, and too me is the kind of thing that belongs on this format. I love it. It’s definitely making my best of 2012 list!"$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - De Portables "Eat This Eighties "
From Almost Halloween Time
{ } { cassette }
Extravagant, bizzarre, excessive, Doctor and the medics, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, Commodore 64, the fall of the wall, the Challenger disaster, the Chernobyl cloud, Salman Rushdie sentenced to death, Tienanmen square, the scream of Marco Tardelli and the 1982 World Cup. Even if you weren't born in the 80's you probably already know what I'm going to talk about. Today I'm going to announce the release of ''Eat This Eighties'' by de portables, a tribute to one of the most controversial problematic decades in music, characterized by the massive use and abuse of electronics and synths, simple refrains that will enter your ears and remain stuck in your head for days and days, but also by the post punk, rock and more obsure colourfully mind altering issues. de portables presents here a brief anthology of the those years, and they do it in their own style as always. Not simple cover songs that you will listen in the pub around the corner performed by a group of nostalgics, but their own interpretation of worldwide known classics and hidden gems that makes you wish you the 80's never come to an end. I've never been a huge fan of Pet Shop Boys, I kind of hated them, but here we have a wonderful rendition of ''Rent'' and you start thinking they weren't that bad and you wish de portables will cover more of their songs. How great would ''Domino Dancing'' or ''It's a Sin'' if our favourites would embrace the instruments again? And do you know Sinead O'Connor repertorie in depth? I honestly don't, but maybe I should explore her catalogue... de portables ''Troy'' is even more dramatic than Sinead ordination as a priest being a woman with a Roman Catholic background. This is a pleasant return, after the acclaimed '' It's Time To Leave This World Behind'' from 2012 (Almost Halloween Time Records) and it's follow up ''The Killing Horizon'' (9000 Records). This tribute comes out on cassette, a relic for many, but a format that has apparently won its battle against technology. Who buys compact discs anymore? Every single copy, this is an edition of 50, comes with a unique hand drawn sleeve. This is for all those of you that don't turn the radio station when you listen to The Cars or XTC, this is for you that turn the station when you listen to Erasure or Nena. The 80's like you have never heard.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Diners "Always Room"
From Lost Sound Tapes
{ LST64 } { cassette }
Diners, from Phoenix, Arizona, have created a vulnerable and beautiful album for daydreamers. "Always Room" is their debut full length album following their beloved "Throw Me A Ten" 7 song mini-album from 2012. Diners songwriter, Tyler Broderick, has created a length album that is perfectly Arizonan, even if direct lyrical references are not present. "Always Room" channels the similarly sunny vibes and disarming honesty of his former Phoenician contemporaries iji and French Quarter. Production-wise, the goal was to "make sure that every song had it's own mix and atmosphere, regardless of structure or instrumentation". This is achieve in a variety of ways throughout songs such as "Citrus", "Out Of The Blue", "My House / How Things Go", and "Overcasters" - all of which have distinct and separate moods. Diners "Always Room" will be released on cassette tape and LP in 2014. Released on cassette May 16th, 2014 by Lost Sound Tapes of Cascadia. First edition of 100 cassette tapes in soft polybox cases, comes with digital download.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Eye Seas "Fruit Fucking Salad"

From Bridgetown Records
{ Bridgetown#51 } { cassette }
Fans of the 90s look no further. A perfect pairing of two mainstays of the Santa Cruz house show scene. This 90s-infused split is the debut release for boy + girl duo Grizzel Toe, whose gritty, high energy indie rock has launched them onto shows with nationally known bands such as Wavves and scored the much deserved title of local favorites around town. Hermit Convention backs them with a complementary approach from a different angle. DIY veteran Craig Prentice has mastered the art of paring a song down to the most essential elements: a thoughtful concoction of instantly relatable and memorable lyrics backed by simple bass guitar tunes and loops with no flash and no frills. An authentic document of raw bedroom recordings showcasing the crowd pleasers of packed living rooms on rainy nights.

From Bridgetown Records
{ Bridgetown#72 } { cassette }
In support of two comprehensive USA tours this year and on the heels of splits with Former Selves, Sky Stadium and Trudgers, Greenspon has finally offered his first official follow-up album to 2010's Unveiling album and Common Objects 12" LP (restocked below in the distro). Greenspon effortlessly transforms gentle progressions of soothing guitar notes into a graceful choir of blurry tape collage. The six pieces on Maroon Bells are concise recollections of a very specific set of personal memories: those first times you had dreams of disappearing, seeing a city from the mountains, being dwarfed by the skeleton of a skyscraper, and the deafening railroad tracks that threaten the hope of sleeping to dream once again. Limited to 100 chrome cassettes dubbed in real-time and 100 stamped CDrs in full-color printed jackets.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Kevin Greenspon "Waypoint"
From Bridgetown Records
{ Bridgetown58 } { Cassette }
A shimmering orchestra of crystallized guitar collage dedicated to the discovery that even the mysterious and resented can be beautiful when memory is slowed down. Intended as a standalone piece, Waypoint freezes the ephemeral moment of realization as it dawns and abruptly divides on itself. This single composition is split in two complementary halves for separate reflections on both the arrival and departure from personal junctures and finally overcoming the questioning of one's trajectory to the present.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Le Almeida "Paraleloplasmos"
From Lost Sound Tapes
{ LST-71 } { cassette }
Le Almeida hails from Rio in Brasil and has been super active pumping out lo-fi indie/grunge/punk for years now. If you have heard the Tape Rec - Death Friends LP, this is from the same minds and should be right up your alley. This record is just absolutely perfect raw pop - if you want to feel like you're in a convertible on your way to the beach, this is the perfect soundtrack. All art features Le's amazing collage work. Truly if stuff like Guided By Voices, Built to Spill, Butterglory, Pixies, Sonic Youth, and 90's indie in general spark your interest, this is guaranteed to please. Aysia says it might be her favorite album ever.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Le Almeida "Pre Ambulatorio"
From Lost Sound Tapes
{ LST49 } { cassette }
Dinosaur Jr, Pavement, Guided By Voices. These are bands that Lê Almeida takes inspiration from. His band name may be the same as his own name but this isn't a stripped down solo project. Lê Almeida, from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, creates catchy, buzzsaw indie rock jams, tempered with laid back vocals all in Portugese. In addition to being the chief songwriter for this group, Lê Almeida also runs the fantastic and important Transfusão Noise Records. He seems to have his hand in all the great indie rock albums coming out of Brazil, whether as a musician, producer, or graphic designer. Since 2007 the band Lê Almeida has released three EPs, three singles, one LP and a split single with fellow Brazilian band Top Surprise. Pré Ambulatório is a 9 song EP with 2 bonus tracks on the cassette tape version. Highly recommended!$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Love Letter "Gentle Memories"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL93 } { cassette }
The second release from Love Letter from Rok Lok this year is a testament to just how much the sounds that this project creates resonates in me that I feel the urge to document as much of it as I can. "Gentle Memories" offers two lengthy tracks that ebb and flow in a dense mix of monolithic waves of reverberated guitar driven crescendos, the juxtaposition of howling guitar echos and lush, ambient drones, distinct introspective guitar line melodies and found sound natural ambiance of field recordings. With over thirty minutes of pure aural bliss, Love Letter continues in the patterns found on the prior cassette release of "It Brought Us Something We Had to Know" but takes the listener to new places. I encourage you as a listener and lover of music to clear your mind of all the noise that our daily lives bring, imagine a place or a feeling you want to explore and let Love Letter's "Gentle Memories" be your guide. "Gentle Memories" serves as a "love letter" of sorts to the core of one's self and the journey that we all embark on from birth to death. Love Letter plays a form ambient, droning shoegaze/post rock that is a mix between Paper Armies, Mono and Godspeed! You Black Emperor. "Gentle Memories' is limited to an edition of 50 home dubbed (in real time) cassettes packaged in full color, numbered j-cards with hand painted/stamped labels.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Love Letter "A Very Young Mountain"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL119 } { cassette }
We last heard from Love Letter with 2015's "Collecting Loss" lathe cut 10 inch which saw the project implement a greater emphasis on vocal arrangements and what I have often referred to as a brand of lofi bedroom "lullaby pop", however, with this new release the project continues to veer into new sonic territories. "A Very Young Mountain" takes the hypnotic, reverb soaked guitar humming of the first two releases but crosses it with more of a field recording, patchwork approach to create a truly organic collection of sounds. Washes of furiously strummed guitar melodies, that bend within a multitude of colorfully shaped tones enveloped within a wall of sound that as it unfolds illustrates in mind perfectly the long journey of growth that a young mountain embarks on to one day reach the heavens-and we are all mountains or have the ability to be. "A Very Young Mountain" is simultaneously the sound of discovery, innocence, solace, longing, reflection, and transcendence all communicated through the canvas of sprawling post rock "anthems" of sorts. For fans of Godspeed You Black Emperor, Azusa Plane, Paper Armies and Mariposa. "A Very Young Mountain" is limited to an edition of 40 C-30 black clam shell cassettes with full color printed labels and packaged in a full color, glossy j-card with beautiful photographic artwork captured in the wild of the Pacific Northwest.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - M A T H "Sponge"

A dense dark collage of noise and bedroom folk with shards of pop melody jutting through the wreckage. The new sound of miserable. Lo fi bedroom folk for fans of Paste, Refrigerator and Moon Socket - Mormon Toasterhead "Memory/Monument"
From Rok Lok Records
{ R95 } { double cassette }
The last Mormon Toasterhead release on Rok Lok, "Summer" was more of a document of fragile, sappy immediate bedroom pop and while the double album "Memory" and "Monument" certainly have their elements of reveling in pop, however, the main focus seems to be more about mood and environment. Both of these albums excel at displaying emotive sprawls of ambient, minimal soundscapes. A keyboard drone here, a simple chill percussive loop there, sounds that crackle, and spaced out melodies over there- "Memory" and "Monument" play as brooding soundtrack to ones life and I think with these two companion albums that is exactly what Mormon Toasterhead's Ben Klawans was hoping to achieve. The compositions presented here shine in their use of space and creating emotion and depth without needlessly layering sounds. If you enjoyed 2013's "Change Change Change" cassette on Ritual Tapes you will see "Memory" & "Monument" as a continuation of what that tape so fantastic. "Memory" & "Monument" are two companion albums that are double cassette release packaged in a double wide norelco box features full color j-cards for each album and comes with full color printed labels.

From Rok Lok Records
{ RL100 } { cassette }
Based out of Chino Hills, CA Restaurnaut sounds like an indie jug band as it revels in playing a unique, hodge podge brand of bedroom pop that is as infectious as it is adventurous. With a ukulele, a drum machine, layers of vocals and touches of keyboard, Restaurnaut's Nick Dolezal creates a brand of lo-fi bedroom pop that has a folk ting at times. Restaurnaut recalls the sounds of Furniture Huschle, Half Handed Cloud, and Charlie McAlister, while lyrically it recalls the social mindfulness and political consciousness of Plan-It-X artists in the late 90's. With cassette releases via Almost Halloween Time and Dolezal's own Kerchow Records, Rok Lok is thrilled to give "Birth", recorded in the summer of 2013, the proper release it deserves.

Quelling the anxiety getting out into open spaces and embracing the fragility but recognizing the extremely fortunate nature of it all. "To Be There" is a collection of ten songs that celebrate the notion of being able to reflect and appreciate being there regardless of being removed from the moment.For fans of lofi bedroom pop/shoegaze/ambient like Flying Saucer Attack, Dump, Sentridoh and Yo La Tengo.

From Rok Lok Records
{ RL83 } { cassette }
The sounds that Carol Rhyu creates with her project White Blush puts me into a state of borderline hypnosis every time I listen to it. And that is not to say it is boring or sleep inducing-in fact quite the opposite as every time I listen to it a new nuance is revealed to my ears. The balance of pop mastery and creating layers of intoxicating sounds is something that White Blush excels at. Mixing together the lush sounds of dream pop/shoegaze and synth driven New Wave with layers of electronic derived ambiance, White Blush, sounds like a meshing of such artists as I Break Horses, Stereolab, M83 and certainly a touch of The Cure and Depeche Mode. The warmth of ambient synth vibes, and slightly distorted bass under tones, propelling drum machine driven beats are all anchored by Rhyu's voice. This five song cassette will certainly leave you wanting more from White Blush.

From Reflective Tapes
{ REF107 } { cassette }
Even though it has been four years since the release of their debut album "Leisurely", Long Island indie rockers World's Fair have been diligently tinkering away, crafting new sounds all while balancing the responsibilities, and other interests of life. In the time allotted for the band to come together to create the last few years they have put together a collection of ten songs for their sophomore album, "We Can't Be Magic". Continuing to build upon the hook laden, guitar driven indie rock that was captured on their debut, "We Can't Be Magic" adds to its sonic repertoire as the album's songs shift from experimenting more with layered pop structures, a stronger focus on vocal arrangements to slower tempos and even "quieter" moments while coming back to its trademark swirling, distorted guitar sounds that is anchored by precise bass rumbles and dynamic yet purposeful drumming. World's Fair creates sounds that are reminiscent of bands such as Archers of Loaf, Built to Spill, Swirlies, Yuck, Sebadoh and on this album showing some post hardcore influences such as Hum and Lync. "We Can't Be Magic" cassette version is on orange cassettes and is packaged in a full color j-card$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping
