[on repeat] TIME TO GO HOME by Chastity Belt

This Seattle slacker 4-piece made up of some fine ladies that you can't help but love have a true knack for knocking you out subtly with their mellow style of rock and the droll lyrics, as you may recall from here.  Their sophomore LP, Time To Go Home, is on Hardly Art and came out 3/24.  The clear wax is already sold out so grab yourself a black copy while they're still around.

[on repeat] FIGHT FIRE by POW!

Sophomore LP release from these bay area synth purveyors harks the marriage of synth, punk, and pop that Devo mastered so well. The gold-lace edition is impeccably packaged and a beauty to look at. Surprisingly, there are still some left at Castle Face. LP is out Apr. 6.

[on repeat] BLAST by Love of Diagrams

I wasn't aware Australia's Love of Diagrams was still making music so it was an unexpected treat to find their latest LP Blast. It was an even bigger treat to hear how wonderful they still sound.

[on repeat] ABOUT TIME by Chook Race

Melbourne strummers Chook Race have swung for the fences with their debut LP and they have surely hit it out of the park. The trio have compiled a blissful set of 10 jangle-pop gems. The LP is self-released and is available in February if you're in Australia, but if you're in the US then you're in luck because it's already available from Easter Bilby Records.

Silhouettes

Bunker Buster

Continental Shelf

This four piece out of Calgary features two former members of the band Women.  Their self-titled debut LP follows up last year's cassette, and will be released later this month on Jagjaguwar Records. It's a collection of seething post-punk tunes with crooning vocals that will slowly find their way to creep over you.

[on repeat] AFRICA AVENUE by The Paperhead

The Paperhead have put together quite the exceptional set of psych/mod 60's tunes for their latest (and third) LP, Africa Avenue, which grows from the more youthful previous releases since the band formed in 2009 and parted ways from Nashville to go to college.  Africa Avenue sees the guys regrouping to expand the band's palette introducing touches of avant, kraut, and spacey folk elements to their already fully solid retro sound. Africa Avenue was released November 11 from Trouble In Mind. They just wrapped a midwest/northeast tour  (including CMJ) and are heading to Europe in February.  Let's hope they can make it out west soon.

[on repeat] I'M IN YOUR MIND FUZZ by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are a 7-piece out Australia that are always trying to entice every one of your senses with their experimental music and loads of instrumentation.  Their new LP, In My Mind Fuzz, is their 2nd LP of the year and it's a monstrosity that doesn't let up.  I posted this track earlier when it was released to the web a couple months ago, but the release of the album on 10/31 (fitting) just demands notice.  It's like one wigged-out, psychedelic, krautrock jam that won't let you stop moving. Pre-orders are up and supposedly each version of the first pressing is limited and completely different.  Enjoy the 3D video for 'Cellophane.'

[on repeat] LEGALIZE EVERYTHING by The Frowning Clouds

Legalize Everything is the latest (and third) slacker full-length from Australia's The Frowning Clouds. This little gem of retro-psychedelia and sunshine came out Sep. 12 from Rice is Nice Records.  I don't see an U.S. distro for vinyl purchases so, in the meantime, stream the digital or pay the crazy international shipping costs.

[on repeat] WE'RE CHANGING by Corners

L.A. stalwarts, Corners, just released their new LP Maxed Out On Distractions and hopefully you were lucky enough to catch the record release show last week with the great (and also L.A. residents) Mr. Elevator & The Brain Hotel, Froth, and Wyatt Blair.  This LP branches out quite a bit from their earlier garage sounding releases in exchange for some fantastic 80's sounding post-punk and new wave.

[on repeat] MAGPIES EYES by Sea Pinks

The fourth LP has arrived! After being pleasantly surprised with the great Exploded View EP in late 2013, Dreaming Tracks, the new LP from Sea Pinks has made its way to us on CF Records.  These guys really put out some of the finest jangle pop out there and this LP packaging is quite impressive. Check it out and get yourself a copy.

Up until now we have only been able to listen to one track off Paul Jacob's new LP, Do It Again, in anticipation of its full release. After anxiously awaiting for months for the Bandcamp page to get updated with the whole LP, this one man monster's new release is finally with us.  Go listen, go buy...now.  He is a beast, he will blow you away, and he deserves someone to press everything he has done to vinyl.

Round Right by Trin Tran

Your World by Trin Tran

This one man (Steve Coombs) show out of Madison, WI takes the sounds of 80's electronic greats like Gary Numan down interstellar roads with no map or direction.  His latest EP, Far Reaches, includes six tracks that clock in at less than 15 minutes, but it's a trip worth taking.  The EP came out in February from Castle Face.  After listening to this it may lead you to check out his 2012 debut LP, Dark Radar, on Ty's God? label.

Peoples Temple released their third LP, Musical Garden, earlier this year and whadd'ya know...we already have a new one coming and there's reason to be excited.  It's called Weekends Time and it's a stomper.  It includes nine brand new tracks that include two Ariel Pink covers.  Check out a couple of tracks off the LP to be released 9/25 on State Capital Records.

Two years ago Moon Glyph released 150 copies of Halasan Bazar's psychedelic opus How To Ever Be Happy on cassette.  Two years later, Moon Glyph has teamed up with French label Requiem Pour Un Twister to remaster and re-issue this fabulous psychedelic album on vinyl.  It is a phenomenal creative output that is well deserving of this vinyl release.  Cheers to all parties involved.

[on repeat] SPIKE TRAIN by Future Punx

The new Famous Class 7" has been released and this pairing features Parquet Courts on the A-side and the band's choice of Future Punx on the B-side.  It's always worth buying since they feature great bands, proceeds to go a worthy cause, and the artwork is always exceptional.  Future Punx features members of Parquet Courts, Fergus & Geronimo, and The Keepsies and they definitely steal the show on this release with 'Spike Train' and their 80's, synth heavy sound.  They have one other release for 999 / Livin' In A Movie that was only available digitally in September of 2013 that is also worth checking out.  Let's hope they keep putting stuff out.

Two tracks from Useless Eaters 2nd LP out 10/7/14 on Castle Face Records.  Noisey said of Seth Sutton's work...his 'fast and frantic work ethic and style that takes traces of garage rock, Wire and Devo and thrashes it around like it's being mixed in a cocktail shaker without a lid. '
