- Abandoned Houses "At The Shore"
From Mystery Trails
{ TRAIL004 } { cd-r }
{ out of stock }
Abandoned Houses brand of ghostly lo-fi acoustic pop paints dreamy pictures of hazy days and starry summer nights. Over the past year and a half this introductory EP was recorded all over the place, from studios and bedrooms to state parks, beaches and actual abandoned houses. The ambience and mood of the places it was recorded in speak to the songs and act as a kind of instrument all their own. Comes in a silk screened, hand sewn fabric case w/ hand stamped insert. Hand numbered and strictly limited to 70 copies. 5 copies, that will go to the first five pre orders, were printed with metallic gold ink and contain a bonus EP of live songs. - Birds of California "One and Only"
From Jigsaw Records
{ PZL028 } { cd }
after teasing us with a split 7" on 555 Recordings a few years back, Birds Of California have finally given us a full album! If the name doesn't sound familiar, that's because they used to be known as Lunchbox, who released a truly amazing record, "The Magic Of Sound", which ranks up there with anything space-pop masters like Rocketship or Stereolab ever did. This album follows in the tradition of their earlier masterpiece, adding a bit more rock in the mix, achieving a sound that's a perfect hybrid of Rocketship and vintage Built To Spill. Listen to this record with headphones and you'll hear different nuances every time!$7.00 ppd $7.00 + shipping $7.00 + shipping - Blanket Truth "Indoor Camping "
From Lost Sound Tapes
{ LST-28 } { cd }
"Indoor Camping is the first official full length CD by Blanket Truth. It features a full band (ukulele, bass, vocal percussion, guitar, cello, pedal steel, group vocals, etc) and digital 8-track recording by Tory Fiterre of Cartoon Monster. Artwork designed by Stacey Hamilton (www.staceyhamilton.ca). All the best tracks from the inception of the band have been re-recorded and a bunch of brand new pop-infused baritone ukulele folk songs make up this 30 minute album.

From self released
{ } { cd }
Rising up from a seemingly never ending sea of melodic punk and hardcore bands in the landscape of Long Island underground music , Blueblack's massive, clamorous din stands out. And not like some irritating sore thumb, or even a local curio but as welcome breath of fresh air. Blueblack is a powerful, instrumental experimental post rock trio that creates powerful waves of distorted sound interlocked ever so deftly with hypnotic rhythms that comes off like an amalgamation between Mono, Swans, Neurosis, Russian Circles and Reighnbeau. Carving out a niche for themselves within the local scene as a result of their uncompromising sound and an admirable commitment to the rigor of playing heaps of shows, Blueblack is making their mark in a region that seldom awards those whom stray from the sound du jour. "Destroy" is a thunderous 7 song effort that builds upon the foundation laid with their self released eponymous cd. There are lush, subdued moments coupled with bombastic distortion overload that bears a tinge of psychedelic, hazy riffing. "Destroy" will soothe you right before it ,without apology, "destroys" you.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Bookstore "s/t"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL13 } { cd }
Proud. That would be a word to describe this release as not only does the music help paint a more diverse picture of Long Island but heck Jon K. did a nice job on the layout of this sweet record. Bookstore was definitely one of the most revered band in the little eastern Long Island scene. Something about their catchy indie rock tunes sent the kids into a fervor. Suddenly you didn't have to be pointing to the sky and piling on to enjoy a band. Come on who didn't absolutely love the sincerity of "The Aquarium Song"? For fans of Built to Spill or The Lemonheads. 1100 pressed with eight page fold out and a solid white tray.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Brick Mower "Under the Sink"
From Viking On Campus
{ VOC006 } { Cd }
Brand new full length from NJ's great indie rock/buzz pop trio Brick Mower. 11 awesome tunes that channel indie rock heroes of yore such as Superchunk, New Sweet Breath, Small and Fluf. Easily one of my favorite bands in the last year. I have been obsessed with their "Floors EP" and "Under the Sink" is even better. Look at for a Brick Mower 7 inch on Rok Lok Records later this year.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Brick Mower "Floors ep"

Powerful and buzzing melodic indie rock/pop that reminds me a lot of bands like Superchunk, Small, New Sweet Breath, Fluf, etc. Seriously, NJ's Brick Mower are one of the finest bands to hit my ear drums in quite sometime.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Cease Upon the Capitol "untitled (1st album)"

A re-release of their self released cd-r full length, CMR provides 10 amazing tracks of a blend of driving post hardcore that recalls bands such as Fugazi, Refused and Cursive. An absolutely marvelous album and the song "Old/New" is hands down one of the greatest songs ever written.

{ TNR015 } { cd-r }
Another slice of brilliant lo fi indie pop/rock from the Transfusao Noise Records! This time from the absolutely wonderful Coloracao Desbotada and their "Sinfo Noise Clube EP" which meshes together early Pavement, Eric's Trip and "Sometimes Chimes" era Further. Just incredible stuff. Additionally do yourself a favor and get their latest on Pug Records, "Eu, eu mesmo e os varios beijos cafeinados"- it has been a on constant rotation for me lately.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Countdown to Putsch "Ideas for the Living & Willing to Act"
From Ebulition
{ EBULITION48 } { cd }
Is it a book with a CD or a CD with a book? Countdown To Putsch raises the bar with regards to record "inserts" by putting together a 100 page book meets CD release. The seventy-two minute CD features fifteen new Countdown To Putsch songs as well as a lecture by feminist Susan Brownmiller. While the book does feature lyrics, it is far, far more than that. The three Putsch members have written and designed a book of lyrics, political essays, stories, interviews, parodies, and social commentary. It looks wonderful with a nice concise design and a plethora of photos. Musically, Countdown To Putsch is exploring a fusion of jazz and hardcore, and conceptually they are pushing the boundaries of what it means to be in a band. More than a band, Putsch is a group of artists trying to express their political ideology via music, image, and text.$8.00 ppd $8.00 + shipping $8.00 + shipping - Dennis Naslund & The Child Bearing Hips "Dennis Naslund & The Child Bearing Hips"
From The Terrorists Win
{ TTW05 } { cd-r }
Three tracks spanning one hour. One track of field recordings from a tour back in 99, made in upstate NY, more than half of it processed beyond relevance. Another track of processed sounds, originally from tape experiments, but digitized to remove all artistic credibility, and interspersed with some casio jamming and bad singing. The last track is 100% pure, unrefined analog, and tells the story of a boy falling in love with entropy. He attempts to copulate with it despite being admoinshed from a priest who has traveled forward in time from the 50's, to stop him. Complete with a twisted version of 'happy birthday' to commemorate the birth of the couple's seed. Packaged in old sewing kits.$3.50 ppd $3.50 + shipping $3.50 + shipping - Dennis Naslund & The Teenage Matricides "Craig, Alaska - 'Attention, This Is A Public Service Announcement. If Your Own Children Kill You, It's Probably Your Fault'"
From The Terrorists Win
{ TTW01 } { cd-r }
A 40 minute noise-mess, quite linear, yet entrancing, all dedicated to the Alaskan murderess Rachelle Waterman. Dennis expresses his crush with this release, packaged in a valentine to the girl. Made with only tape recorders and a turntable, and packaged in full-color art, and even some CD Extra material on the disc. Shamelessly seamed, the sounds are born as one-channel tape and record manipulations, utilizing burned and melted material, then become a slow-building wall of warble, which climaxes in some nonsensical conversation set to intermittent shrill beeps and tones. After the fallout, left smoldering is some beautiful piano-ing, with the sound of a tape recorder being destroyed atop some truly awful singing.$3.50 ppd $3.50 + shipping $3.50 + shipping - Earth Earth "Matador is Dead"
From Jigsaw Records
{ PZL020 } { cd }
this truly sweet quartet from northern Japan sent me a demo out of the blue, and I was blown away by their songs! Since the early '90s, there have been countless bands following in My Bloody Valentine's deep footprints, and though you can count the Earth Earth among them, this band stands out as one of the very few that have captured the spirit as well as the sound. Take the energy and ferocity of "Isn't Anything" and the sheer beauty of "Loveless", and you can get an idea of where these guys are coming from.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Fellow Project "Stable Life"
From 86'd Records & Fanzine
{ 86D006 } { cd }
A drastic evolution in the sound Fellow Project finding them adopting more of an aggressive, dynamic post hardcore sound that is a mix between The Crownhate Ruin, Drive Like Jehu and Cursive.

From Jigsaw Records
{ PZL014 } { cd }
Hats off to Jigsaw Records for releasing this. Easily in my top 3 records released in 2011. Goblin Universe released a pair of great records during their brief lifetime in 2000/2001: a rare self-released cd-r and a 7" co-released between their own Grande Barbe label and the Rocket Number Nine label. This disc collects both of those, and adds an extra comp track and two previously unreleased ones, as well! Recommended for fans of the lackadaisical days of Pavement and the sheer noise/fuzz of Tall Dwarfs. Note: you may recognize Sam from his solo band, The State Of Samuel...$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Golden Gurls "Demo"
From self released
{ } { cd-r }
Last year Golden Gurls contributed their song "Shelved" to the "I Know Why They Call It Pop" tape comp and now they are back with more awesome indie rock. Great super melodic, fuzzy guitar indie rock that reminds me a of a cross between Further, Comet Gain and Sebadoh. Nice handmade packaging-no two alike. Each copy is numbered out of a limited edition of 30 copies so grab 'em while you can.$4.00 ppd $4.00 + shipping $4.00 + shipping - Hunting For Porcupines "Ruins"
From Correspondence Tapes
{ CRS008 } { cd-r }
Mount Eerie-esque acoustic black metal. Simple, yet beautiful transparent packaging.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Ith-Ist-Ism/Nothing is True "Death is Purity"
From The Terrorists Win
{ TTW03 } { cd-r }
Some junk/folk material recorded by i/i/i, then given to NIT to be chopped and screwed. Ominous soundscapes, lots of drone that builds up into big bursts of nasty, peppered with interesting/disturbing samples. An 85 minute long lullaby to have nightmares to. Lyrics by i/i/i, art for the DVD packaging by NIT. This is like the soundtrack to being stuck in a cave, with nothing to wear but a really nice suit, which just happens to have buttons made out of corn picked from fecal matter.$4.50 ppd $4.50 + shipping $4.50 + shipping - Ith/Ist/Ism "Forensic Ska/Reggae Vol 1: Expeditions into the Aesthetically Obsolete"
From The Terrorists Win
{ TTW04 } { cd-r }
Twelve tracks from two amateurs who really don't know what they are doing. Ten tracks of sound collage, using guitar, homemade percussion, found sounds from records and cassettes, and field recordings from everywhere from a projection booth, to a police station. Also a synth-punk track and a lo-fi folky track thrown in for good measure. Awkward vocals compliment (or insult) each offering. If you don't like this you're probably a snobby jerk. Comes packaged in a super awesome bag of garbage.$4.00 ppd $4.00 + shipping $4.00 + shipping - Kevin Greenspon "In Serial"
From Bridgetown Records
{ Bridgetown#23 } { cd-r }
75+ minute collection of all 13 songs from four cassettes released in Spring of 2009 (Golden Road and Purple Hearts on Bridgetown, White Lights and Black Swan on Obeast Tapes). Delicate pop melodies crumbling and emerging through distant rubble and smoke.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Kevin Greenspon "Maroon Bells"
From Bridgetown Records
{ Bridgetown#72 } { cd-r }
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. 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. Second edition of 150 chrome cassettes dubbed in real-time and 276 stamped CDrs with full-color printing.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Kevin Greenspon "Paradise AD"
From Bridgetown Records
{ Bridgetown#55 } { cd }
After 8 tours across the Southwestern USA and dozens of cassette, CD and vinyl releases in the past two years, Californian Kevin Greenspon has exhibited an unstoppable work ethic. On Paradise A.D., 65 minutes of music from 5 limited edition cassettes are presented from the original master recordings. The collection ranges from songs such as Rose Window's "Machine Shop," which Pitchfork Media calls "a sonic feast devoured in three all-too-short minutes composed of deliciously delayed guitar pickings and crunchy crescendo-ing soundscapes" to richly detailed tape collage detritus. Tome To The Weather Machine attests to Greenspon as "a master of dynamics on tape" and in the live arena, as dynamic arrangements of "heartaching drones... field recordings, gorgeous volume swells, strummed chords and contact mic squalor lap slowly into each other gracefully and naturally." 15 new and out-of-print songs from 5 limited edition cassettes on Sound Holes, Existential Cloth, Bathetic, Life's Blood and Tired Trails are collected on this limited edition of 200 pro-manufactured CDs in shrinkwrapped jewelcase with full-color artwork.$8.00 ppd $8.00 + shipping $8.00 + shipping - Knife Pleats "Hat Bark Beach"
From Jigsaw Records
{ PZL091 } { cd }
this new band from Rose Melberg (Tiger Trap, Softies, Brave Irene, etc) was formed because Rose had a new batch of songs that she felt really needed a full band treatment; and with her friends Tracey and Kaity (both from Love Cuts) and Gregor, she has certainly found the perfect outlet! Any fan of Rose's previous bands will adore this, of course, but in case you're not already familiar with her work, just look to any of the countless bands that have followed in her footsteps, such as Brilliant Colors, Grass Widow or Vivian Girls. And this new album of hers stands just as tall (and deserves as much attention) as any of those bands, and any of her previous records, for that matter. Simply put, this is yet another masterpiece from one of the leaders of indiepop today!$8.00 ppd $8.00 + shipping $8.00 + shipping - Lacing "Without"
From Handstand Records
{ HND37 } { cd }
Dreamy, heavy shoegaze with dramatic post-rock swells and nuanced noisy outbursts. Ethereal vocals compliment the icy clean guitar lines in a series of swirling waves before the storm of dark hooks and trembling discord. Their thick, grungy underbelly is fueled by an arsenal of effects pedals, with a strong melodic core beneath it all. LACING’s second album Without is their most compelling effort to date, a dynamic display of fuzz and beauty, stitched together with several hallucinatory interludes.$7.00 ppd $7.00 + shipping $7.00 + shipping - Le Almeida "Revi"
From Transfusao Noise Records
{ TNR020 } { cd-r }
Super poppy fuzzy indie pop rock in the vein of Guided By Voices, The Pixies and early Pavement.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - National Park Service & Squanto "The National Park Service & Squanto"
From Lilly Tapes & Discs
{ LTD03 } { cd-r }
Recorded and pieced together in early 2012 as a joint effort with my friend The National Park Service, this marks the first collaborative release on Lily Tapes & Discs. In the true collaborative spirit, here’s what he had to say about it: "I initially approached Ben about collaborating around a year and a half ago, by my recollection, and nothing materialized. Sometime this past spring, we touched base again and things began to come together, almost accidentally. We swapped back and forth several tracks, things we’d each been working on at about that time. I’m confident that nothing we’d have done to these works by ourselves would have turned out half as good. For example, “Please Sit” was as a half-finished acoustic guitar track I’d splattered some feedback on, until Ben realized its potential with some otherworldly tape manipulations. A fully formed sound emerged. The process went similarly for the rest of the tracks you’ll find here. That sounds good enough, don’t you think? 45 minutes of almost-ideas meeting up by chance and developing together. Like peanut butter and chocolate. This album sounds unlike anything else I’ve worked on, and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out." The third official release from Lily Tapes & Discs. Released in an edition of 40 CD-Rs housed in 4-panel cases from Stumptown Printers, each decorated, numbered, and assembled by hand here at LTD headquarters.$5.00 ppd $5.00 + shipping $5.00 + shipping - Nearr "History Repeats Itself"
From Jigsaw Records
{ PZL117 } { cd }
after a few digital releases on the Beko label, we have the first "proper" album from nearr, a one-man recording project led by Eduard Tokuyev from Ukraine. And it's a beautiful example of lo-fi bedroom pop, that combines acoustic and electric guitars with keyboards and drum machines. Take the distant vocals of the Radio Dept., the stark but melodic guitar sound of "Seventeen Seconds"-era Cure and the overall feel of a Famous Boyfriend record, and you'll get an idea of what to expect here. The songs themselves have a theme of loneliness and longing, as is seemingly typical with bedroom pop of this type, but they aren't at all mopey. Eduard has dubbed this record the "closing release of his lo-fi era", so let's all look forward to what the band produces next!$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Ocean Party, The "Soft Focus"
From Jigsaw Records
{ PZL067 } { cd }
{ out of stock }
this quintet has been around for a few years, but have never strayed outside their homeland (Australia - Melbourne, to be exact); so Jigsaw is really excited to be able to bring this band and their joyous janglepop to the rest of the world! A wonderfully romantic treat, these eleven songs flow along quite nicely, each breezy tune melting away as another one begins. Musical counterparts include the Ladybug Transistor and the Zebras (coincidentally, also from Melbourne), with their songs full of strummy guitars and memorable melodies, yet still steeped in ambiance, courtesy of the ever-present keyboards and synths. So sit back and get lost in this perfect little masterwork of gentle pop music. - On the Might of Princes "The Making of a Conversation"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL26 } { cd }
Finally. After years of being out of print, the album that started Rok Lok is back in print and in a big way. With the help of our friends over a Eugenics Record Label we have put painstakingly amount of effort to make the reissue of the debut album from On the Might of Princes all that more special, and fans of the band will appreciate that. "The Making of a Conversation" has been carefully remastered so it could be heard the way it was intended to. Additionally there are now three bonus tracks as well as multimedia section with a video and a link to a site with exclusive content-video, streaming audio and photos. This deluxe reissue comes with a beautiful 24 page booklet that is wrapped up in a striking UV coated O-card. On the Might of Princes later became known for their dynamic approach to screamy hardcore that melded meldoicism as much as it did dissonant guitar textures, but "The Making of a Conversation" is the beginning of the story that finds the band utilzing a more accessible post hardcore song structures 'ala Sunny Day Real Estate while intertwining with influences ranging from Fugazi to I Hate Myself to Failure. The process of putting these reissues has been a long one but easily one of the most rewarding experience in doing this label. This is the record that changed my life and I am proud to share it with you all once again.$8.00 ppd $8.00 + shipping $8.00 + shipping - Premise Beach "At Promise Beach"

Over the years music reviewers have gone to countless lengths to find comparisons to Space Robot Scientists and have always come up short handed. Yeah while they've gotten some of the influences right as Public Image Limited, Wire, Devo and Atom and His Package but it just doesn't really do this unique trio justice. On the sophomore effort from Space Robot Scientists there are sounds that revel in the angular noisy post punk while others mingle in a electro-Clash dance music playground. 1000 made in one pressing with 800 clear purple trays and 200 with clear trays.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Sparrows Swarm & Sing "Untitled #2"

Dark, catchy and haunting stories of self-imposed tragedy.

This was a compilation effort I put forth to help document the out east show scene on Long Island that was occurring at the time. I think this comp does a good job in letting people know that Long Island was more than just Punk and Hardcore anthems. 23 track comp Featuring: Knox Overstreet, 3 Mylile, Bookstore, With Every Idle Hour, Music, Nakatomi Plaza, Space Robot Scientists, #12 Looks Just Like You, Prescott C, Pale Marble Movie, 48 in the Basement, This Year's Model, Fire Engine Red, De La Hoya, Lord Humongous, The Waiting Process, Bo Coach, Latterman, The Backup Plan, Flight of the Navigator, Feelings in Demand, Akimbo, and Bunsen Honeydew.

From Jagjaguwar
{ JAG93 } { cd }
Wilderness is an unconventional band from Baltimore, whose apparent musical pedigree stems from the likes of The Fall, This Heat, Savage Republic, Public Image Limited, and Joy Division - without sounding like any of them - and whose music is every bit as spiritual as it is visceral, as nuanced as it is overt, and as communal and all-embracing as it is culturally alienating and nihilistic. "Vessel States" is sure to fortify the critical acclaim (Pitchfork's Best New Music tag and one of Magnet's noteworthy albums of the year).$8.00 ppd $8.00 + shipping $8.00 + shipping - Yes Sensei "s/t"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL31 } { cd }
coverJust about three years in the making, two bassists and two drummers after the fact- the new Yes Sensei album is here. This the most ambitious and sonically diverse recording to date from these long time Long Island noisemakers. Mixing the jarring post punk of Unwound and the tonal trickery guitar rock of Sonic Youth and the rhythmic mayhem of The Jesus Lizard. Yes Sensei has created their most melodic yet chaotic work yet$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Yes Sensei "What I Do Best is What I Do Worst"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL15 } { cd }
Even though the process of putting together the first Yes Sensei record was a tedious one I was very glad that our record finally made it out. And while the band has evolved from the more primitive noisy Unwound and Jesus Lizard esque renderings found on this debut perfectly documents what the band was like in it's original three piece line up with Paul Como on bass. Eight tracks of noisy dynamic indie rock. A split release effort with The Children's Revolt. 1100 pressed with a clear tray.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Yes Sensei "In Excelsis"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL45 } { cd }
It is true; after ten long years- three full length albums, a 7 inch, compilation appearances, tours and hundreds of shows Long Island post punk band Yes Sensei is calling it a day but not before they send everyone off with a fourth and final album. It sounds cliche but this is easily Yes Sensei's most realized work. The trademark noisy off kilter guitar work and grooving percussion and bass is still there but mixed in with a complexity never before heard in the band's discography. The band's sonic repertoire has expanded with mixing together the influences of Sonic Youth, Unwound, Polvo and The Minutemen as well as Glenn Branca and The Ex. Yes Sensei is able to create jarring, abrasive sounds that still retain a strong melodic sense. In a bizarre way Yes Sensei certainly is fun. Artwork for "In Excelsis" is provided by Scott Malosh who previously did the artwork for the band's third self titled album. Each cd is packaged in a jewel case with full color artwork. This is a limited cd pressing of 200 pieces.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping - Yes Sensei "We Who Transplant Sustain"
From Rok Lok Records
{ RL16 } { cd }
The second Yes Sensei release is more of everything. More focused, dynamic, noisy, experimental, grooving, just more of the elements of Yes Sensei expanded. "We Who Transplant Sustain" is raunch statement from the Long Island quartet who refuses to allow Punk culture to be pigeonholed. This sophomore effort does it's best to challenge any perception one may have. Influenced by The Minutemen, Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth and the free jazz stylings of Ornette Coleman, Yes Sensei somehow creates their own brand of music that redefines energy.1090 pressed with a clear tray.$6.00 ppd $6.00 + shipping $6.00 + shipping
