WatchChristmas Island - Poisoner 12” EP
I distinctly remember first picking this Christmas Island 7” with the fantastic cover art (^^^) from Captured Tracks around the same time as I started listening to The Sandwitches. Yes I bought it because of that rad cover art. But isn’t it awesome that the two dorky elementary school kids grew into the the dorky band members? Aha....

WatchHoly Other - Tense Past
New Holy Other LP is out, and you can stream the whole thing on SnDcLd here. Tense Past is probably one of my favorite tracks, subdued but with just enough pop appeal to suck you in. Also, the high pitched vocal track loop totally reminds me of pogo’s Wishery, but maybe that’s just me.
Holy Other - Held LP is out on Ltd vinyl gatefold from Tri-Angle...

WatchEgyptian Hip Hop - SYH
Neither Egyptian or hip hop…
Back in 2010 four 17 yr dudes (^^^) hailing from Manchester released a phenomenal 4-track 12” EP (OOP) called Some Reptiles Grew Wings on Moshi Moshi that went largely unnoticed. Just take that in for a moment, 17 fucking years old. Okay, so I grabbed a copy because at the time I was (still) obsessed with Summer Camp, who had...

New Grouper 12", Ltd to 800 copies
Saw the new release on discogs first, then raced to trace it back to the source. If you’re a fan of Liz Harris’ solo work as Grouper, then you know her records disappear like crack in a crack den.
A little info from Fillip about the show that coincided with the release:
Grouper: Sleep

WatchAngel Olsen - Tiniest Seed
yvynyl:
Yup. So good. A couple of my buddies are positively drunk in love for everything Angel writes, and tracks like this will show you why.
I was about to write about this, but that ^^^ pretty much describes my feelings for Angel’s work. Strange Cacti remains my absolute favorite Bathetic release, a cassette (then vinyl) that seems like this fragile...

WatchFemale Band - Rain Song
Italian Beach Babes:
On 20th August 2012, Italian Beach Babes will release Female Bands debut EP on Cassette and Digitally.
Female Band is minimal, both in its sound and personnel with Russian born, Anastasia Vtorova currently the sole member.
The haunting almost hypnotic sound relies on a strong experimental use of instruments, incorporating ambient, drone and...

WatchLabyrinthear - Urchin
Download for frees from SnDcLd here
Totally did not know these kids were working on a new album, and apparently this is the first single. Was a big fan of their first little Oak EP, but for whatever reason I didn’t expect a followup. False, earlier this they followed up with their second release, the Apparitions EP, andnow a full length? Happy day. This slow...

WatchNovella - You’re Not That Cool
Yep we (royal) like Novella here. Have and will.

I went down to Novella’s practice room recently and hung out for a few hours to shoot a very impromptu session with them.

You’re Not That Cool is the final track on their S/T EP which is now onto its second pressing....

WatchHeavenly Beat - Talent LP
CT-160
Part two of new Captured Tracks goodies: Heavenly Beat is the side project from John Pena aka Beach Fossils’ bassist. I never heard any of his previous tracks, and apparently he’s been hard at work on this ‘side project’ since some time prior to joining BF.If you like the CT sound, aka Wild Nothing/Beach Fossils etc, this one is right...
