Excellent LP by this mysterious one-man NYC outfit. The sound is extremely DIY/Messthetics reverent, with a primitive new wave attack that would reconcile 70s/80s future shock ala the first Chrome album with angsty melodies, vocal F/X, a nicely smudged production style, Minimal Man-style apocalyptic keyboards and song structures that reflect on the whole NZ/Flying Nun school of garage/bedroom wows, ending up sounding like a more synth/drum machine deformed version of Luxurious Bags. If you dig Woods/Hospitals/Sic Alps/Eat Skull et al then dig this.

New seven song mini LP from this mysterious Brooklyn based loner who cuts up zoned, spaced out new wave bombs with minimal synth stylings, moody teen melodies, Factory-style basslines and a general post-Messthetics feel for solitary bedroom rock/pop ritual. Another great one from this guy, with a hazy production style that is nicely psychedelic.

Limited edition of 300 copies 4-track EP from Blank Dogs on Mike Blank Dogs’ private imprint. This is some of Blank Dogs’ most punked-up fuzz blasters, combing glazed waves of distortion with punchy melodies and that all-important teenage bedsit fidelity. Something about the way Mike channels UK DIY styles via a liberated trans-Atlantic mindset makes em sound like the missing link between 1960s loser-core psych and post-Industrial garage rock and come to think of it, they fucking are...an inspired alchemical re-think, highly recommended.

Two electro-punk blasters from Blank Dogs, exclusive to this single, with a cool early-Rough Trade art-pop edge.

The Mayfair Set is a collaborative group project between Mike Sniper from Blank Dogs and Dum Dum Girls and right from the sleeve shot (printed on an oversized envelope sleeve) the feel is very UK, specifically the kinda psychedelic pop/punk feel of Dan Treacy’s Whaam Records label. Indeed, the combination of deep muffled male vocals and girl group choruses brings to mind fellow Television Personality and Swell Map Jowe Head’s Househunters project. A classic art/pop move.

Best volume yet of this great on-going limited compilation series that takes the temperature of the underground circa now. Exclusive tracks from Vivian Girls, Blank Dogs, Times New Viking, Intelligence, Guinea Worms, Sic Alps, Thee Oh Sees, Tyvek and Pink Reason. Epochal and highly recommended.

Limited single from Blank Dogs, with two new minimal pop/new wave blasters. All VT copies are the limited to 200 blue vinyl versions.

Co-released with Woodsist, this is the debut full-length from this collaborative project between Blank Dogs and Dum Dum Girls. Six new tracks that combine a haze of beautiful girl-pop vocals with out-of-focus psychedelia, hallucinatory arrangements and an atmosphere somewhere between 1980s psychedelic DIY, weirdo 70s private press and the early Rough Trade singles.

Debut single from this new collaborative project between Gary War and Blank Dogs that perfectly balances the underwater moonlight sound of Gary War with Blank Dog’s UK new wave worship. Fantastic. Comes with full colour insert.

New four track EP from Mike Sniper with a heavy UK new wave/Joy Division vibe and a hazy dreamtone production style.

First edition silkscreen limited edition of 300 copies EP on Blank Dogs’ private imprint, culling two songs from Dee Dee’s Zoom Music CD-R and throwing in two new tracks. Solo female garage/pop with a post-Vivian Girls take on primitive psych that combines overt Shop Assistants worship with aspects of The Ramones, the Girls In The Garage cultus and a fucked up basement pop appeal that is pure Flying Nun. Excellent.
