EQUIP Cursebreaker X (ltd. 500)
100% Electronica
Chicagoan Kevin Hein (and Reckless alum) returns as EQUIP. Kevin is obsessed with video games & music & he was one of the first people we knew on the vaporwave tip. He's spent the past few years perfecting his craft, touring in Japan, providing scores for video games & you guessed it, even more gaming. 90s & 00s game soundtracks are a major influence for sure, but Hein throws in his love of bands like COCTEAU TWINS with guitars drenched in shimmering stereo chorus which gives him an edge on others mining similar territory in our opinion. Kevin has really carved out a unique path for himself & we're stoked to see where he goes next. RECOMMENDED!

BEIRUT Flying Club Cup (reissue, White Cover)
Pompeii
Beirut's debut album "Gulag Orkestar" was one of those rare debuts that truly blew away most people that heard it especially when they found out that leader Zach Condon was still a teenager. The follow up e.p. "Lon Gisland" was the first to feature the full BEIRUT band & "Flying Club Cup" is the first full length to do so. The Balkan styles that were so prevelant on the debut are more subdued this time around. Many of the songs feature simple percussion arrangements, accordion & sparse horn arrangements giving the album sort of a 'Parisian street musician' sort of vibe. Condon's voice sounds more mature this time around, almost like a tenor Stephen Merritt or Rufus Wainwright. So those of you that were betting on a sophomore slump for BEIRUT well, it's time to pay up.
