Ratboys – The Window

RECKLESS RECORDS 8/25/23 NEW RELEASES

>> JAIMIE BRANCH – Fly Or Die Fly Or Die Fly Or Die ((world war)) LP/CD (International Anthem) *Black or Ltd. Green Vinyl

The final transmission from the late, great trumpeter JAIMIE BRANCH was nearly completed a month before she passed away during the summer of 2022. On this Fly or Die edition, BRANCH sought to explore extended song templates with more vocals and a heavier, denser sound palate. And yet with Fly or Die x3, the result isn’t so much cacophony as it is deep esoteric harmony, meshing folk balladry, Latin jazz, psychedelic electronics and classical minimalism into a beautiful, organic whole. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

>> HUERCO S. – Colonial Patterns 2LP (Software) *10th Anniversary – Bone Vinyl

Tenth anniversary of this seminal ambient house album from producer HUERCO S., using dark, hypnotic rhythms and obscure musicality to create a sense of dissonant unrest, inspired in many ways by the overcast murk of BURIAL and the fourth world kosmiche of JON HASSELL. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

>> BUCK MEEK – Haunted Mountain LP/CD (4AD) *Black or Indie Exclusive Clear Green Vinyl

Third solo album from BIG THIEF guitarist BUCK MEEK plumbs earnest emotions with a playful, daydreamlike whimsy, touching on the country-leaning side of his band that also often sounds like a happier version of JASON MOLINA. Good stuff! RECOMMENDED!

>> RATBOYS – The Window CD/CS (Top Shelf) *Vinyl delayed but coming soon! ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

We got an instant classic for you right here from Chicago’s own RATBOYS. Made in collaboration with producer CHRIS WALLA (ex- DEATH CAB), The Window has the same everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-just-kidding-throw-that-in-too mentality of WILCO’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot – polished indie rock, shaggy Americana, and fuzzy power pop with lots of space for experimentation & more than a few badass guitar solos. It’s our city’s answer to the “post-country”(horseshoe gaze?) boom period we’re fortunate to be in the middle of with great records just in the past year from WEDNESDAY, MJ LENDERMAN, and FLORRY. We’re really proud of this one – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Reckless Records 8/18/23 New Releases

Mikaela Davis – And Southern Star

RECKLESS RECORDS 8/18/23 NEW RELEASES

>> MIKAELA DAVIS – And Southern Star LP (Kill Rock Stars) *Ltd. Wavy Rose Vinyl – Record signing & in-store performance 8/20 2PM @ Belmont!

Sophomore record from folk singer and harpist MIKAELA DAVIS settles into a lovely blend of 60s inspired pop psychedelia and gentle, pedal-steel inflected country. Great stuff on Kill Rock Stars! RECOMMENDED.

>> DINERS – Domino LP (Bar/None)

Blue Broderick drops another slab of winning power-pop under the DINERS banner with Domino, her first LP on Bar/None. Simple-but-effective lyrics, some real good guitar playing, and total nonstop hooks that make for a great throwback to the golden era of TWILLEY, EMITT RHODES, and classic Stiff Records fare like KIRSTY MacCOLL & WRECKLESS ERIC. There’s a thread of wistful melancholy running through these songs too that’ll serve us all well as a soundtrack to temps dropping and leaves falling. Fantastic stuff – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

>> GIRL RAY – Prestige LP (Moshi Moshi) *Ltd. “Mimosa Yellow” Color Vinyl

Remember the summer of 2020, when great dance records like DUA LIPA’s Future Nostalgia and JESSIE WARE’s What’s Your Pleasure? were dropping at a steady clip and we were all chomping at the bit to get back out and party a bit even though it wasn’t quite safe yet? UK band GIRL RAY remember those dark days well, and it’s served as the inspiration for their super fun new LP Prestige. Glammy disco with hi-NRG and new wave influences, bright synths, canny strings, and droll vox. Fans of HAIM, HOT CHIP, and Random Access Memories -era DAFT PUNK will absolutely love this. RECOMMENDED!

>> LOVELY LITTLE GIRLS – Effusive Supreme LP (Skin Graft) *Random Color Vinyl ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

First album since 2016 for this collective of Chicago weirdos, featuring members of CHEER-ACCIDENT and THE FLYING LUTTENBACHERS. LLG explores similar avant-garde territory, but with a more theatrical delivery and prog-y approach to melody and arrangement. RECOMMENDED!

>> NONDI_ – Flood City Tracks LP (Planet Mu) *Early 2023 album now available – Ltd. Beige Vinyl

Tatiana Triplin runs the label HRR and releases dance music under the moniker NONDI_, channeling Chicago footwork, Detroit techno and European breakcore, all rendered through gauzy, impressionistic tones that evoke genres of solitude like vaporwave. Excellent home listening material! RECOMMENDED!

Reckless Records 8/11/23 New Releases

Bonnie “Prince” Billy – Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You

RECKLESS RECORDS 8/11/23 NEW RELEASES

>> BONNIE “PRINCE” BILLY – Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You LP/CD/CS (Drag City) *w/ bonus flexi disc & poster available while supplies last

After a few years of making music in collaboration with old buddies BILL CALLAHAN and MATT SWEENEY (and new buddy MDOU MOCTAR), WILL OLDHAM returns again to the graceful solitude of his long-running BONNIE “PRINCE” BILLY project. His craggy voice & whimsical lyrics are first rate as always, wrapped up tightly in spare Americana & chamber pop stylings that suit him like a homespun knit sweater. He’s backed here by a disarmingly skilled group of musicians, with strings and sax and the gorgeous harmonies of vocalist Dane Waters, who give intention to every single note in service of Oldham’s dizzying melodies. We’re already looking forward to returning to this one over and over again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

>> GRAIN – We’ll Hide Away: Complete Recordings 1993-1995 LP (Solid Brass) *Cloudy Clear Vinyl

The complete works of Cleveland’s GRAIN are together on one LP. Perfect blend of catchy melodies, dissonant guitar, pummeling breakdowns and Midwest emotiveness. RECOMMENDED!

>> THE HIVES – The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons LP (Disque Hives) *Black or Indie Exclusive Cream Vinyl

You’d be forgiven for thinking maybe you threw on the new QOTSA by mistake when the opening riff on THE HIVES’ first album in over a decade comes roaring out of your speakers. Give or take a few outliers (and these squirrelly Swedes always allow for at least a few on every LP), these are some of the heaviest & hardest tracks they’ve ever cut, drawing as much from prime AC/DC and KISS as they do from thee typical STONES ‘n’ STOOGES well. Insanely fun (and insane) rock music – RECOMMENDED!

>> LUSH – Lovelife/ Split/ Spooky LPs (4AD) *2023 Remasters, sold separately – Ltd. Clear Vinyl

Gorgeous remasters of these LPs from UK dream pop/ shoegaze titans LUSH, available on wax for the first time since the 90s. ESSENTIAL and RECOMMENDED!

>> RUTH MASCELLI – Non-Stop Healing Frequency LP (Disciples)

Second solo record from SPECIAL INTEREST member RUTH MASCELLI is a zag from their sultry debut, stringing up eleven electric mood pieces that range from ambient textures to cosmic disco to stark ballads that feature their own voice. With a lovely JUDEE SILL cover (imagine finding that in the dance section!). RECOMMENDED!

Various – Everything Everywhere All at Once (Soundtrack)

RECKLESS RECORDS 8/4/23 NEW RELEASES

>> THE BLACK DOG – Spanners & Bytes 2LPs (Warp) *Remastered – Sold separately

Essential reissues of some early Warp material from THE BLACK DOG featuring Andy Turner and Ken Downie of PLAID. Beautifully remastered and RECOMMENDED!

>> FLORRY – The Holey Bible LP (Dear Life)

Philadelphia’s FLORRY makes folky alt-country in the vein of MJ LENDERMAN, FRIENDSHIP and locals acts like TOBACCO CITY, all with quirky, goofball lyricisms to balance the robust instrumentation. RECOMMENDED!

>> VARIOUS – Everything Everywhere All at Once (Soundtrack) 2LP (Secretly Canadian)

The soundtrack to the 2023 Best Picture (and maybe one of the best movies ever made, period? Let’s talk about it…) Everything Everywhere All at Once is finally available on vinyl. SON LUX’s original score is just as ambitious & creative as the flick, with contributions from MITSKI, DAVID BYRNE, MOSES SUMNEY, and the voice of Raccacoonie himself, RANDY NEWMAN. There’s also some gorgeous flute compliments of none other than ANDRÉ BENJAMIN aka Benjamin André aka 3 Stacks aka ANDRE 3000. Of course this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Reckless Records 7/28/23 New Releases

Aphex Twin – Blackbox Life Recorder 21f/ In a Room7 F760

RECKLESS RECORDS 7/28/23 NEW RELEASES

>> APHEX TWIN – Blackbox Life Recorder 21f/ In a Room7 F760 12″ (Warp)

Hard to believe it’s been five years since we last heard from Richard D. James aka APHEX TWIN, but Blackbox Life… picks up right where Collapse left off, with dry, bouncing analog-ish drum textures and playful pacing counter-balancing dark, ruminative synth tones. There are also nods to his early days, with rave-y stabs and burbling acid basslines. Classic and yet also entirely new stuff from RDJ. OBVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED!

>> THE CLIENTELE – I Am Not There Anymore 2LP/CD (Merge) *Black or “Peak Vinyl” Edition Black-in-Red Vinyl

2023 record from Reckless faves THE CLIENTELE messes a bit with the formula, eschewing their signature drum/bass/jangle for breakbeats, tape machine samples & hybrid textures that incorporate strings, organ, horns
and Mellotron. It’s not a complete change – there’s plenty of 60s inspired earworm pop tunes, and Alasdair MacLean’s voice is recognizably hazy & breathy – but the new sonic palette allows the hour-plus length to breeze by. Great stuff yet again. RECOMMENDED!

>> BETHANY COSENTINO – Natural Disaster LP/CD (Concord) *Black or Indie Exclusive “Dreamsicle” Vinyl

Natural Disaster is the first-ever solo record from BETHANY COSENTINO (dropping while BEST COAST are on hiatus). BC’s unabashed love for the pop craftsmanship of FLEETWOOD MAC and THE GO-GOs has always been hard to hide under even the thickest layers of fuzz, but she takes it one step further here with the glossy, sun-soaked sheen of peak SHERYL CROW, SHANIA TWAIN, MICHELLE BRANCH, and that self-titled LIZ PHAIR that keeps sounding better and better as time goes on. Some of these tunes are already destined to become “Indie Rock Summer Jam” playlist staples. Now we just need that Bobb Bruno black metal record… This is RECOMMENDED!

>> DAMON LOCKS & ROB MAZUREK – New Future City Radio LP/CD (International Anthem) ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

While DAMON LOCKS & ROB MAZUREK have collaborated in the past with EXPLODING STAR ORCHESTRA, this marks the first pure duo record for the two. The 18 tracks on New Future City Radio function together as a mixtape imagining a future utopian pirate radio program that blends improvisational jazz, hip-hop, electric beats & psychedelia with ruminations on the future of community, all tied together with LOCKS’ retrofuturist voiceover. Excellent and RECOMMENDED!

>> MID-AIR THIEF – Gongjoong Doduk LP (Top Shelf) *Reissue – Orange & Pink Glow Vinyl

First physical version of this 2016 album from South Korean psych experimentalists MID-AIR THIEF. There’s a stronger folk influence to this, but with some dubby electronics that helps these chameleonic songs shift from one style to another with grace. Fans of FISHMANS, THE FLAMING LIPS, or some of the collage-like records by THE BOOKS will find a ton of stuff to love here. An excellent record that we’re happy to have tangibly in stock. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Reckless Records 7/21/23 New Releases

Blur – The Ballad of Darren

RECKLESS RECORDS 7/21/23 NEW RELEASES

>> BLUR – The Ballad of Darren LP/CD (Parlophone) *Black or Ltd. Blue Vinyl

For anybody still pining for the heyday of Britpop, it’s gotta be a thrill to see the classic BLUR logo on a new LP in 2023. We’re excited to say this one lives up to that promise & then some. Dropping 8 years after their comeback The Magic Whip (which was v. good but mostly just had a “Thanks for your patience, here’s more Blur” vibe), The Ballad of Darren finds the lads sounding more charged since they have since pre-GORILLAZ. The uptempo numbers have a post-punk energy that suggests inspo from recent contemporaries like IDLES & FONTAINES DC, and the more mellow cuts are elegiac & wistful (a la recent ARCTIC MONKEYS), making the whole affair feel like a graceful comedown from those glory days as they again carve out a space for themselves in today’s scene. You can finally pull that thrashed copy Parklife from your disc-changer – this’ll do the trick just fine. RECOMMENDED!

>> CV VISION – Im Tal der Stutzer LP (Bureau B)

Psychedelic prog, acid folk, washed-out pop & warped feudal weirdness from Dennis Schulze’s CV VISION project. Inspired by medieval themes & fuzzed out prog riffs. Fans of BO HANSSON, SOFT MACHINE & even GOBLIN soundtracks will love! RECOMMENDED!

>> KODE9 & BURIAL – Infirmary/ Unknown Summer 12″ (fabric)

Lovely two tracker split from KODE9 and BURIAL, who team up five years after their fantastic FABRICLIVE 100 mix LP. Much more energetic & uptempo compared to BURIAL’s more recent output. RECOMMENDED!

>> MADMADMAD – Behavioural Sink Delirium LP (Bad Vibrations) *180g – Ltd. Red Vinyl

Weirdo, acid-fried disco punk from this London group that was recently featured on the Soul Jazz comp Two Synths, a Guitar (And) a Drum Machine. Think ADD N TO (X), BLACK DICE. RECOMMENDED (if you can forgive the song title “Totes Amazeballs”).

>> STRANGE RANGER – Pure Music LP/CD (Fire Talk) *Black or Indie Exclusive Transparent Sea Glass Vinyl

Sample-heavy fourth album from New York outfit STRANGE RANGER, steeping themselves in trip-hop, glitch, IDM and electro-R&B in a way that feels less like throwing ideas at the wall and more of a unified sound. Great stuff on Fire Talk. RECOMMENDED!

Reckless Records 7/14/23 New Releases

Clark – Sus Dog

RECKLESS RECORDS 7/14/23 NEW RELEASES

>> SAM BURTON – Dear Departed LP/CD (Partisan) *Black or Ltd. White Vinyl

LA’s SAM BURTON makes gentle, sun-kissed folk that recalls early TIM BUCKLEY, JOHN DENVER and TOWNES VAN ZANDT as well as contemporaries like CUT WORMS. Mellow and melody-forward, with some beautiful string texture and choral backing vocals. RECOMMENDED!

>> CLARK – Sus Dog 2LP/CD (Throttle) *Executive produced by THOM YORKE

UK producer Chris Clark has long been a master of the spectrum of sound, but in the past he’s used vocals only sparingly as just another effect in the mix. On Sus Dog, Clark sings on nearly every track, his reedy falsetto lending warmth & vulnerability to even the more menacing tracks. We apparently have THOM YORKE to thank for this, as he encouraged Clark to push his boundaries here & even gave him some vocal coaching – shut your eyes and you’ll be convinced you’re listening to a great lost RADIOHEAD LP even before Thom shows up near the end. Reckless fave ANIKA also guests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

>> NATURAL WONDER BEAUTY CONCEPT – Natural Wonder Beauty Concept LP (Mexican Summer)

Heavenly collaboration between ambient pop producer ANA ROXANNE and abstract dance innovator DJ PYTHON, melding PYTHON’s brittle, thorny excursions into IDM, trip-hop and reggaeton with ROXANNE’s lush, textured chords and ethereal voice. The result lands somewhere between YAEJI’s kitchen-sink expressionism, the mutant tresillo beat of ARCA and the softer electronic R&B of TIRZAH and ERIKA de CASIER. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

>> RUSSIAN CIRCLES – Station LP (Sargent House) *15th Anniversary – Ltd. Blue Vinyl ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

“Chicago’s own RUSSIAN CIRCLES serve up their sophomore release to ours and the music loving public’s excitement. Station starts off harmless enough, with swelling and cinematic arrangements comprised mostly of guitars and minimal drumming. The second track, however commences into familiar territory – complex drumming, ominous bass, and heavy guitar riffage. Instrumental, as usual, the guys in RUSSIAN CIRCLES pick up right where they left off with 2006’s Enter, creating an eerie atmospheric collection of songs sure to please. Fans of the MARS VOLTA, PELICAN, or MONO will feel right at home with Station.” 15th anniversary edition available on independent record store exclusive transparent blue vinyl. RECOMMENDED!

>> THE YORUBA SINGERS – Ojinga’s Own LP (Soundway) *1974 album reissued on vinyl for the first time

Soundway gifts us this beautiful remaster of the debut album from Guyanese Afro-folk band THE YORUBA SINGERS. Mixing traditional folk styles with American blues and soul, all shot through with biting social commentary. RECOMMENDED!

Reckless Records 7/7/23 New Releases

Lifeguard – Crowd Can Talk/ Dressed In Trenches

RECKLESS RECORDS 7/7/23 NEW RELEASES

>> TONY ALLEN & ADRIAN YOUNGE – Jazz Is Dead 18: Tony Allen LP (Jazz Is Dead)

The 18th release in the Jazz is Dead series focuses on some increbile sessions featuring the late, legendary Afrobeat drummer TONY ALLEN. The unmistakable patterns of ALLEN’s drumming had been used quite well working with techno pioneer JEFF MILLS, but these sessions are far less electronic, emphasizing the lush, big-band brass and polyrhythmic funk of FELA KUTI and AFRICA 70. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

>> BEVERLY GLENN-COPELAND – Beverly Copeland LP (Transgressive) *Reissue

Originally released in 1970 in a pressing of just 250 copies that were distributed to CBC radio, this debut album by Beverly Glenn-Copeland (then Beverly Copeland) is finally available again. With some similarities to fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell & other folkies like Odetta & Buffy Sainte-Marie, Copeland’s debut is remarkably strong & still sounds unique & interesting so many years later. RECOMMENDED!

>> PJ HARVEY – I Inside The Old Year Dying LP/CD (Partisan)

Tenth studio album for Peej (and first in seven years) reunites her with long-time collaborators JOHN PARISH and FLOOD for a moody, immersive record with prickly folk arrangments, lush field recordings, meandering melodies and lyrics filled with obscure dialects and turns of phrase. The result is a quintessentially “English” album, moored in narrative concept the same way as RICHARD DAWSON but with the sonic sensibilites of JOSEPHINE FOSTER and a Byron/Keats-esque sense of poetry. RECOMMENDED!

>> LIFEGUARD – Crowd Can Talk/ Dressed in Trenches 12″/CD (Matador) *Standard version or in-store exclusive Black & White alternate cover available ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

We’re incredibly stoked for the Matador debut of local heatseekers LIFEGUARD, combining 2022’s EP Crowd Can Talk with 5 new cuts on the B side titled Dressed in Trenches. Shades of DINOSAUR JR., PAVEMENT, a bit of JAY REATARD. Be wise and keep your eyes peeled for more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Reckless Records 6/30/23 New Releases

Arthur Russell – Picture of Bunny Rabbit

RECKLESS RECORDS 6/30/23 NEW RELEASES

>> ALEX G – Live From Union Transfer LP (Domino) *Indie Exclusive Tangerine Vinyl – Ltd. 3500, Hand #’d

Super duper limited live record from ALEX G off of his great album God Save The Animals. This one ain’t on streaming (or even on CD). Hand-numbered and limited to 3,500 copies worldwide. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN.

>> BLACK DUCK – Black Duck LP (Thrill Jockey) *Black or Ltd. Orange Vinyl ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

This self-titled release marks the debut for this Chicago supergroup trio, consisting of Doug McCombs (TORTOISE, ELEVENTH DREAM DAY, BROKEBACK, PULLMAN), Bill MacKay (collabs with RYLEY WALKER and NATHAN BOWLES among others) and Charles Rumback (also another WALKER collaborator as well as with a number of jazz groups). BLACK DUCK touches on jazz, country, blues and post-rock, emphasizing the trio’s tactile playing and intuitive sense of atmosphere. Like Bob Welch-era FLEETWOOD MAC channeled through the sonics of BARK PSYCHOSIS. On Thrill Jockey and RECOMMENDED!

>> SAM PREKOP & JOHN McENTIRE – Sons of 2LP (Thrill Jockey) *Black or Ltd. Seaglass Vinyl – Limited 2022 CD/CS release now available on LP! ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

First duo record between THE SEA & CAKE bandmates SAM PREKOP and JOHN McENTIRE presents four sprawling songs centered on modular synth experimentation. This is PREKOP’s most rhythmic solo release to date, but this is certainly not “dance music” per se – moreso a lush atmospheric collage. RECOMMENDED!

>> ARTHUR RUSSELL – Picture of Bunny Rabbit LP/CD (Audika)

It’s hard to believe that there’s still more Arthur Russell material out there to discover but this 2023 collection features 9 previously unreleased tracks. These songs were recorded around the same time as the now classic World of Echo & there are definitely some similarities. Delay & echo experiments with cello, voice, guitar & more that will definitely please fans of Russell’s work. RECOMMENDED.

>> HIROSHI YOSHIMURA – Green LP (Light In The Attic) *Reissue – Green Vinyl

Back in early 2017, we received a reissue of a wonderful early 80’s album by the Japanese musician HIROSHI YOSHIMURA called Music for Nine Postcards & we were entranced. Since then Yoshimura’s music has become more widely known outside of Japan & now the highly anticipated reissue of this excellent 1986 album Green is here. Made on classic Yahama synths of the era, this is a beautiful album of soothing instrumentals that owe as much to 80s new age as they do to TANGERINE DREAM film scores & 20th century minimalism like STEVE REICH. RECOMMENDED!

Reckless Records 6/23/23 New Releases

Wye Oak – Every Day Like The Last

RECKLESS RECORDS 6/23/23 NEW RELEASES

>> JONNY BENAVIDEZ – My Echo, Shadow & Me LP (Timmion) *Black or Ltd. Pink Vinyl

This debut album from New York’s JONNY BENAVIDEZ makes good use of Timmion’s house backing band COLD DIAMOND & MINK, with hazy, nostalgic production on songs that recall classic doo-wop and early soul in the FLAMINGOS vein. RECOMMENDED!

>> GEESE – 3D Country LP (Partisan) *Black or Ltd. Clear Vinyl

This sophomore record from Brooklyn’s GEESE takes a more laid-back approach from their debut, toning down their angular post-punk hooks with jammy, summertime songs that seem to chase the sound of mid/late-70s ROLLING STONES. On Partisan & RECOMMENDED!

>> TIM HECKER – No Highs 2LP (Kranky)

Tim Hecker returns after a 4 year absence with No Highs for Kranky. Hecker is a master of deep frequencies & tones & on this one he uses acoustic instruments like Colin Stetson’s cyclical sax patterns, steel guitar, french horn & bass clarinet along with his laptop manipulations to create a rich realm. Ambient music is in a weird spot in 2023 & Hecker still comes out on top. RECOMMENDED!

>> JOHANNA SAMUELS – Bystander LP (Jealous Butcher) *Orange Vinyl

Tactile indie-folk from LA’s JOHANNA SAMUELS, who here partners with producer Josh Kaufman (who’s worked with CASSANDRA JENKINS and THE HOLD STEADY, as well as being in BONNY LIGHT HORSEMAN) for a similar sound that is both textured and free-wheeling, with SAMUELS’ simple, evocative songwriting front and center. RECOMMENDED!

>> WYE OAK – Every Day Like The Last: Collected Singles 2019-2023 LP/CD (Merge) *”Peak Vinyl Edition” Ltd. Swirl Vinyl

The latest collection from long-running indie band WYE OAK compiles digital singles from the past four years as well as a trio of new songs, all showcasing a more folk-driven approach to the gauzy, thorny rock the duo has perfected over the last 15 years. Good stuff! RECOMMENDED!
