Surfer Blood

Motorpsycho - Heavy Metal Fruit (Rune Grammofon)
CD $15.00 / DLP w/etching $25.75 Listen: Starhammer
Featured Release: New album from genre-bending Norwegian prog overloads is the third & highest point on a dizzying arc drawn from 2008’s Little Lucid Moments (drummer Kenneth’s first release with the band) through 2009’s vinyl-only Children of the Future, finding apogee with 2010’s Heavy Metal Fruit. Unnervingly nimble prog & narcotic space rock akin to Floyd, Zeppelin, Crimson & Sonic Youth; touched with exquisite Yes-styled harmonies and not at all above the occasional jazz odyssey! Six epic tracks: five sprawling mindbenders with a dulcet piano ballad tucked in the middle. [more detail]

Surfer Blood

Moon Duo - Escape (Woodsist)
CD $11.75 / LP $13.00
Featured Release: San Francisco's Moon Duo was formed in 2009 by Sanae Yamada and Erik Johnson (Wooden Shjips). Inspired initially by the legendary John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Moon Duo counts such variant groups as Silver Apples, Royal Trux, Moolah, Suicide, and Cluster as touchstones. Utilizing primarily guitar, keyboards, percussion, and vocals, the pair plays space against form to create a primordial and disorienting sonic stew. The fullest realization yet of the young group's evolving sound.

Surfer Blood

Midway Still - I Won't Try: The Collection [retrospective]
(Roughneck/Fire Records)
DCD $18.50

Featured Release: Hook, line and sinker: 2005 retrospective from early-90s British band Midwill Still, one of the on-the-verge-of-stardom acts of the era, whose visceral Amerindie sound may have been the blueprint for a decade-plus worth of emo/punk-pop. Creation swirl birthed in gritty, lo-fi garagerock, with enough Dinosaur/Swervedriver howl for the heads and enough Husker Du/Leatherface singalong choruses and Jawbox/Mega City Four bounce to keep those same heads' hips happy.

CD $12.50
/ LP w/download codes $14.00
Download mp3:
Hide It Away

Featured Release: Highly recommended second album from Low dude Alan Sparhawk's totally rockin' Retribution Gospel Choir, while very much different than Low (duh) and even RGC's debut; less 90s stoner dirge, more 70s power pop, it had to be said. Big, bold guitar anthems, about as catchy and immediate as rock gets retaining an off the charts IQ. This album has already reserved a spot on both Roy and Jim's Best of 2010 lists, plus RGC's touring and playing in Parasol's stomping ground in mid-February!

Download mp3s:
Floating Vibes
Swim
Vibrant, echoing pop and shimmering lo-fi lassitude, a extremely genial sturm und drang offset with plush harmonies and singalong choruses. A strummy, reverb-happy sound that's equal parts garage and twee, Subway and Factory, McCarthy and Close Lobsters... All this from yet another very promising West Palm Beach, Florida combo!

Sleepyard

Black Cab - Call Signs (Laughing Outlaw) CD $17.00
Listen: Black Angel Rescue
Featured Release: Epic third release from Australian conceptual, shoegaze, drone-rock kingpins. Following Altamont Diary (2004) and Jesus East (2006), their new album is yet another heady, high-concept set incorporating themes as diverse as fated 70s folksinger Judee Sill, Orwellian paranoia, German experimental music of the same era and spooky WWII radio cyphers. Features a special guest appearance by Died Pretty frontman Ron Peno. A truly spellbinding album and Jim's #1 album of the year.

Listen:
Saturation
Bionic Exercise
Featured Release: A lush, sunny psych-pop opus from Norwegian dreamscapers Sleepyard, works as well with waves and warm summer breezes as it does the last leaves and first snowflakes. Grand, shimmering acid-mantras, like Beach Boys meets Spiritualized and French dream-poppers Mellow; with a drowsy, folksy feel and some seriously lysergic guitar lines. Very special guest stars include Sonic Boom and legendary Bowie painist Mike Garson! Highly recommended, and an 11th hour entry to Jim's Top Ten for 2009!

Dawes - North Hills (ATO) CD $11.00
Listen:
That Western Skyline
Love Is All I Am
Featured Release: Dawes' Laurel Canyon-esque, exact repro, retro-dreamery has put Roy in a reverie, and we are all right behind him. Their truly autumnal debut album, 'North Hills', resurrects The Byrds, Neil Young, The Band and Gram Parsons without hardly trying. Sweet harmonies and a careful blend of acoustic and electric guitars and organ; vintage sounds that turn the nostalgia knob up to eleven. No irony, no nudge and wink, just great throwback pop-rock with a smoky, sun-dappled vibe. And Roy's favorite album of 2009.

The Amazing - Self-Titled (Subliminal Sounds)
CD $14.25
Listen: Dragon Dead
A Swedish supergroup of sorts, featuring guitarist Reine Fiske and a couple other members of Dungen (as many Swedish supergroups do) as well as folks from Anna Jarvinen's band, Granada and Sagor & Swing. To our ears this sounds like The Action and espcially The Action's extended family: Mighty Baby, Reg King's solo album, etc. Lush pop with an occasional 70s AM radio nuance, a hint of cosmic sountry and a sweet, smoky pastoral folk vibe that's really spectral and sensual and Swedish. Highly recommended.

Self-released and self-recorded, Allen had the chance to bring back just about every past-member from the band's decade-long career for extra-special guest appearances! CD is in stock, in quantity.

Espers

Old Californio - Westering Again (self-released) CD $9.25
Listen: Mother Road Just Like Joseph Campbell
Featured Release:
Recommended by our pal Ric Menck (Velvet Crush, Matthew Sweet, Bird Song Recordings), who's got a pretty good ear! In his latest find, the second album from Pasadena roots rockers Old Californio, the canyons of So Cal are once again personified in song. Guitar-driven jams that all but beg for name-dropping, ragged glories influenced by Moby Grape, The Band, Crazy Horse, The Grateful Dead, and Quicksilver Messenger Service, with a touch of Brian Wilson-esque pop-sunshine.

Espers - III (Drag City) CD $13.25 ON SALE $12.25
Listen: I Can't See Clear
Featured Release:
Philly psych-folkies' third finds the now-quintet in an expansive, genre-defying zone. Amidst leviathan drones and pastoral, if not floral, fingerpicking you'll find incandescent guitar leads and Middle Eastern percussion with just enough popsense and surreal interludery to keep each end of the listener spectrum sated. Darker than II and somewhat less freaky than their debut III is heir grandest adventure yet. Between this, the recent Six Organs of Admittance and Marissa Nadler's last album you could get gone, real gone, for a change.

A Place To Bury Strangers – Exploding Head (Mute)
CD $15.25
ON SALE: $13.75 Listen: In Your Heart
Featured Release:
Apt title! Incredible second effort from NYC's loudest band, and not without good reason. More droning and beautiful and shoegazy and dare we say it, somewhat sweeter; less dirty and dischordant, while still retaining plenty of white hot noise and classic Goth atmosphere. Noisniks might miss some of the sturm und drang of their debut but we Parasolarians find this no less ferocious if somewhat easier on the ears and with more crossover appeal.

Download the MP3:
Dominos
In heavy rotation:
The swaggering, sexy, cocksure and somehow still incredibly likable electro-rock, shoegaze-drama and pop-single gorgeousness from UK duo getting plenty of hype and earning it too. Like Kaiser Chiefs meets The Xx meets Klaxons meets MGMT, with droning guitars, godzilla beats and sticky-sweet choruses. If "Dominos" doesn't have you singing along mid-chorus and isn't stuck in your head the rest of the day...week...year, let us know.
