SOUND Physical World (reissue)
Reminder
The debut 7" by THE SOUND is available again for the first time in 40 years. After the band THE OUTSIDERS disbanded, the immensely talented Adrian Borland formed THE SOUND, a band that would go on to release a number of now classic albums. While THE SOUND did achieve some level of success, they never really caught on like they should have. Inspired by seeing JOY DIVISION live, Borland aspired to write melodic post-punk songs with intense & energetic live shows. There are some amazing live videos on Youtube that prove that they succeeded. Maybe someday more people will discover the greatness of THE SOUND but for now super fans like us are still scratching our heads wondering why they weren't one of the biggest bands of the 80s. RECOMMENDED.

CORIKY Coriky
Dischord
This one couldn't have landed at a better time! CORIKY is a new trio from D.C. featuring Ian Mackaye on guitar, his partner Amy Farina on drums & Joe Lally on bass & there's a lot to like here. In a lot of ways this is exactly what you probably would imagine & we mean that in the best way possible. It's like a more stripped-down FUGAZI & simultaneously a more expanded EVENS. Joe Lally is just as important in driving this band & as he was in FUGAZI & his bass lines interact with the guitar & drums perfectly. Ian & Amy trade off & share vocals & their voices sound excellent together. This is the closest we'll get to a new FUGAZI record any time soon & it's simultaneously its own thing. We didn't realize how badly we needed a record like this until we heard. RECOMMENDED.

Our Belmont, Loop and Wicker Park locations are now open for in-store visits from 10-7 daily and we can't wait to see all of you in real life again! To keep customers and staff safe we require face coverings over mouth and nose for your entire time inside with us. We will also be limiting the number of people allowed in the shop at once, so please be respectful and patient with each other! If you are local and would prefer to shop our inventory online we will continue to offer a pick up option at all three locations between 10-7 daily. Make sure to include a phone number with your order and please wait to be called or emailed before coming to pick it up. We will need time to get it ready for you especially if your order contains items from multiple stores. To our mailorder customers: Please be aware that media mail is taking much longer than normal and tracking isn't always reliable. We appreciate your patience! Pre-Order the new Bright Eyes album here!
