Fergus & Geronimo
Blind Muslim Girl
Denton white-man-soul/pop duo featuring Jason Kelly (Wax Museums) and Andrew Savage (Teenage Cool Kids). In Fergus & Geronimo, the WM lo-fi recording aesthetic is alive and well to be sure, but don’t expect any songs about “jack off rats” here. Just Blind Muslim Girls! A casual project, but the band cites a serious well of inspiration including southern soul, ’60s pop, psychedelic and Motown influences as the kick behind Fergus & Geronimo’s sound. Good stuff. Uh, yeah. Get it! —TTT
Zola Jesus
New Amsterdam LP
A loving LP version of the New Amsterdam CDr. All hand made covers. Limited to 500. It also includes one song not previously available on the CDr. At this time we are proud to be the only people distributing this in the US.
The Bitters
East
East is the next installment of the Bitters story. Featuring Ben Cook of Fucked Up/Young Governor and the great voice of Aerin Fogel, The Bitters “cave pop” is doomy as it is infectious. Coming live soon to a theatre near you.
Ganglians
Ganglians
If you liked the 12-inch EP and LP by these Sacramento weird-poppers, then you’ll love this, their first non-split 7-inch. Two equally amazing tracks, and in our opinion, two of their best.
Christmas Island
Christmas Island
Two song seven inch about the pits and perils of ages Nineteen and Twenty-Nine, respectively. Part Flying Nun, part Bubblegum. This coincides with a fantastic upcoming LP release on In The Red. One of our favorite bands.
German Measles
Wild
Out of control, drugged up, fucked up madness from Brooklyn’s premiere party freaks. Almost the polar opposite of this spring’s cassette release—these songs are confident, insane and beautifully recorded by Gary Olson. Some sort of funky mix of The Soup Dragons, Black Randy, Protex and The Fall had they recorded for Bhudda. All the subtlety of Sonny Bono trying to barge his way into a restaurant while wearing a fur vest. Features 2/4ths of the legendary Cause Co-Motion!
Pumice
Persevere
Following a mammoth tour of Europe, Japan & the US in 2007-2008, Stefan Geoffrey Neville took a sabbatical from Pumice. After a silence of several months, Stefan slowly began to re-emerge in New Zealand, playing (the drums) with a few bands in Auckland. Slowly, a few proper Pumice gigs were played & soon thereafter, in January 2009, Neville started work on a new batch of recordings. One of those found a home on the split single with Grouper, while the others, appear on Persevere; a befitting title for Neville’s first new grip of songs following his hiatus. Three songs comprise Persevere: “The Dawn Chorus of Kina,” an ode to (alleged) singing sea urchin, and covers from two vision-sharing kindred spirits: The Axemen (“Pacific Ocean”) and Michael Hurley (“Open Up”). Persevere is released in an edition of 500 copies, housed in textured paper sleeves adorned with Neville’s signature dog drawings. (Soft Abuse)
