LIVANSKIY, KEDR Ariadna (ltd. Edition W/ Bonus 12") (w/ Download)
2MR
2017 release from Russia's KEDR LIVANSKIY continues the ideas from her "January Sun" EP, which puts melody over electro beats in the form of synths & LIVANSKIY's distinct, but not-aching-for-the-spotlight vocals. Livanskiy eschews software synths opting for vintage gear which definitely adds to the dreamlike, almost lo-fi sound to her expertly composed electronic pop. Hints of GROUPER's use of reverb & atmosphere, the Not Not Fun & 100% Silk labels, GLASS CANDY etc..., this will definitely be one a lot of year end lists this year. RECOMMENDED! This limited edition version comes with a bonus 12" with two extra tracks!

New LP $25.99

LIARS Tfcf (red Vinyl, Ltd. Ed.) (w/ Download)
Mute
"Every Liars album sounds the same" said nobody ever. Angus Andrew has been at it with LIARS for about 15 years now & it's more or less a solo project for him now as the only other remaining member Aaron Hemphill bailed surprisingly during the recording. Andrew returned home to Australia to finish it & made one of the weirdest LIARS records yet. The album is pretty dark with songs built around heavily manipulated acoustic guitars, atonal electronics & blown-out beats. In a weird way, this kind of reminds of Paul McCartney's frenzied first album (in concept, not execution) if he had access to a laptop back then. Angus Andrew has baffled us once again!

MAIN SOURCE Breaking Atoms (30th Anni, 2 Blue Lp) (remaster, W/ Bonus Trks)
Ingrooves
What you have in your hands now is one of the most classic records in Hip Hop. Here we have the Large Professor at the TOP of his game, lyrically & behind the boards, with Sir Scratch & K-Cu providing vibes & cuts to bolster the Queens MCs monster, meaning filled rhymes. Breaking Atoms didn't have a big radio single, & the group broke up after this, but this album is still incredible influential, with notable tracks like "Friendly Game of Baseball," & "Live at the Barbecue," the debut of one Nasty Nasir Jones. If you like 90s rap like ATCQ, DITC, or Gangstarr, this record will not let you down.

REVERORUM IB MALACHT Ter Agios Numini
Ajna
This is the third album by this somewhat mysterious Swedish experimental black metal band. With hints of black metal, dark ambient, industrial, drone & harsh noise, R.I.M. has created some truly terrifying sounds with themes revolving around religion, specifically Catholicism. The aren't any lyrics that we can discern, instead when there is singing it's more evil sounding grunts & groans or what sounds like a monk singing in a cathedral. Imagine the noise-leaning black metal of ABRUPTUM, the more experimental side of BEHERIT & the atmosphere of LURKER OF CHALICE & you might be able to imagine the horror that is this record. CRAZY!

CONTAINERS Self- Contained Self-contained
Manufactured
We were pretty amped on the BEACH BULLIES reissue on Manufactured a few years back & now comes this release by BEACH BULLIES' member James A. Smith's other group THE CONTAINERS. THE CONTAINERS only existed briefly in London in 1980 & managed to make a recording in a studio that also boasted recordings by SOFT BOYS (Robyn Hitchcock was a friend who sometimes performed with the group), THE RAINCOATS & Gary Numan. Some of these songs eventually became BEACH BULLIES songs but these versions feature shared male/female vocals that give the band their true character. Think post-VELVETS alt-rock with similarities to RAINCOATS, TV PERSONALITIES, B52s, DESPERATE BICYCLES etc... RECOMMENDED.
