Huge walls of psych guitar imbalance from a trio who know how to chew an axe: Elisa Ambrogio of Magik Markers, Ben Chasny of Six Organs Of Admittance and Brian Sullivan of Mouthus. Miasmic destructo-rock moves in a derelict post-Dead C style. Pressed on 180 g vinyl and housed in classy wraparound silkscreened sleeve by Alan Sherry of SIWA. The LP also comes with a pressed CD featuring bonus jams from the same session. Edition of 845 copies.

Vinyl edition of what was previously a Heroine CD-R and a cassette on Fuck It Tapes (under the title “The Ground Ain’t Dirty”), an album that works as a great overview of MV & EE at their most fully hallucinatory, with long tracks that build wave upon wave of tamboura drone and heavy metal string glide giving way to ominous odes to endless feedback, a totally deranged Erika Elder-fronted take on Neil Young’s “For The Turnstiles” from On The Beach and some cranky group rags. One of their most otherworldly releases this far. Edition of 840 copies on 180g vinyl with beautiful tough tip-on jackets and all new art. All VT copies come with the limited edition bonus CD – Total Loss Songs: 50 minutes of previously unreleased material - only officially available direct from the label via pre-orders. Highly recommended.

Deluxe 180g vinyl in heavy Stoughton gatefold sleeves from this offshoot from the No-Neck mothership led by David Shuford and featuring Marc Orleans (Sunburned Hand Of The Man), Hans Chew (Jack Rose et al) and Rob Gregory (The Suntanama). Distillation is an even deeper countrified pass through classic Americana given the kind of psychedelic nudie suit edge of The Byrds circa Sweetheart/Notorious or the first Flying Burrito Brothers album. Shuford’s vocals have an uncommon weigh that gives the songs a Biblical/basement tapes feel while the arrangements are weirdly sophisticated in a way that rewards repeated deep listening. Edition of 891 copies, bundled with a bonus CD that features a live set from the group and an MP3 download coupon.

Fantastic new solo album from Peter Swanson, ex of Yellow Swans. This CD is an edition of 350 copies and is only 'officially' available as a bonus disc with direct mail order editions of Three Lobed's recent massive Not The Spaces You Know vinyl box set as a “mystery artist” release. If you've picked up on the last few Swanson solo releases you'll know that he is at the top of his game right now and I Don't Rock At All pushes further in the direction of euphoric solo fuzz guitar epics that mirror aspects of Keiji Haino/Fushitsusha while giving the nod to the heavenly distort-pop of MBV and even Bardo Pond. There's something orchestral in the arcs of almost classical melody that Swanson bases his freak form around, with huge Valkyrie choruses smeared by F/X, and he has a way of wrestling single string solos from his guitar that feel as universally potent as anything from the hands of Manuel Gottsching. I Don't Rock At All is classic solo guitar album, highly recommended.
