RECKLESS RECORDS JANUARY 2025 NEW RELEASES
The beginning of the year is always a little slow at the shops so we’ve compiled all of the January releases into one list. 2025 is already off to a great start, at least with good music…
DAMON LOCKS – List of Demands LP (International Anthem)
Friend of Reckless / International Anthem staple DAMON LOCKS releases his first ever album of spoken word and text-based music, landing in a middle zone between LAST POETS / GIL SCOTT-HERON jazz poetry & DOOM-esque vocal gymnastics, all centered on the themes of Black liberation. Featuring contributions from local luminaries like MACIE STEWART, BEN LAMAR GAY and KRISTA FRANKLIN, this one comes obviously VERY RECOMMENDED.
MOIN – You Never End LP (AD93)
MOIN is a London based group & this is their third album. Featuring the VERY BUSY Valentina Magaletti on drums, the group’s sound is a mix of 90s indie rock & slowcore ala SLINT, MOGWAI, CODEINE, GASTR DEL SOL etc…with a more contemporary drum style & recording with vocals contributed by a variety of singers. We love this one!
PRISON – Downstate LP (Drag City)
ENDLESS BOOGIE’s Paul Major is back with another record by his side piece PRISON. Heavy duty psychedelia like LES RALLIZES DENUDES, cock of the block proto punk like IGGY & THE STOOGES, blues jams & more. Is it tight or is it loose???
CLEO SOL – Gold LP/CD (Forever Living Originals)
CLEO SOL – Mother LP/CD (Forever Living Originals)
CLEO SOL – Rose in the Dark LP/CD (Forever Living Originals)
These great records by Cleo Sol have been difficult to find the past few years but they’re back again! This already our 2nd restock of the year on these
