Thanks for choosing an independent business!! artist title label		Banhart, Devendra Mala (Nonesuch) CD - $14 LP - $33   Mala was co-produced by Banhart and his longtime bandmate, Noah Georgeson. The duo plays most of the instruments themselves, using borrowed equipment and a vintage Tascam recorder (often used in early hip-hop recordings) they'd found in a pawnshop. Vinyl version includes CD and bonus 7".   Deerhunter Monomania (4AD) CD - $13 LP - $20   “On Deerhunter’s swaggering fifth album, Monomania, they almost completely jettison the dreamy ambience that usually characterizes their work in favor of straight-up raw, bleeding garage rock, populating the songs with junkyards, leather jackets, and motorcycles. [BNM 8.3]” – Pitchfork   Junip Self-Titled (Mute) CD - $15 LP - $19   Sophomore album from the Swedish band featuring singer/songwriter José González. The album’s first single “Line Of Fire” showcases a bolder, more mature Junip – once again eager to embrace you with their infectious blend of percussion and passionate, immeasurable waves of genuine emotion. Unleashing an opulent melody atop of hypnotic grooves, the track splits itself into a dance between flamenco syncopation and krautrock repetition, while González’s heartfelt vocals crest with unbridled sentiment.   Knife Shaking The Habitual (Mute) CD - $14 2CD - $18 3LP - $20   Swedish dark electronic duo the Knife release their first album in seven years, a 98-minute double-CD/triple LP (also available as a pared-down, single CD version). “It’s a delicious feeling to listen to an album so pointedly on edge, holding your breath, occasionally checking over your shoulder, sat frozen and tracking the shadows… wondering, hoping that all the doors are locked. Their darkest masterpiece.” – Loud And Quiet   Lilacs and Champagne Danish & Blue (Kemado) CD - $10 LP - $16   Turning away from the suspense and dread of their other band Grails, Emil Amos and Alex Hall pursue a different angle of playfulness and perversion with their newest project, Lilacs & Champagne. Their second record manages to be even grander and more ambitious, yet somehow more damaged and bugged-out.   Mark Kozelek & Jimmy Lavalle Perils From The Sea (Caldo Verde) CD - $16   Debut collaboration by The Album Leaf’s multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle and Sun Kil Moon singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek. For the album LaValle chose a more minimalist approach to the music than TAL's large sonic soundscapes. Kozelek's storytelling narratives playing against LaValle's hypnotic synth sounds and drumbeats should come as a pleasant surprise to fans.   Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood Black Pudding (Ipecac) CD - $14 LP - $16   Lanegan, never one to shy away from unique collaborations, has previously worked with Isobel Campbell, Greg Dulli and as a member of The Screaming Trees, Queens Of The Stone Age and Soulsavers. On this collaboration, Lanegan says: ''Duke Garwood is one of my all-time favorite artists -- working with him has been one of the best experiences of my recording life.'' Lanegan and Garwood met a few years ago while playing on the same bill and Garwood was a frequent opener on Lanegan's recent European tour.   My Bloody Valentine MBV (MBV) CD - $24 LP+CD - $47   IMPORT. The Vinyl is a 180g pressing, gatefold sleeve with the CD inserted in a card wallet cut inside the gatefold, along with 8 page booklet.   Olsen, Angel Half Way Home (Bathetic) CD $13 LP - $14   Olsen’s critically acclaimed 2012 LP is now available on CD. Half Way Home is a continuation of her elegance brought forth on Strange Cacti, a collection of both new and old music, honed and matured, thoughts revisited. We're hearing this same beautiful girl with that same beautiful voice, this time brought up to a new level, in no doubt a growth and reach brought on by several roadtrips with the one and only Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & crew.   Savages Silence Yourself (Matador) CD - $15 LP - $19   The highly anticipated debut from London's Savages, an all-female four- piece who play music with scything energy and brutal power. Recorded with Rodaidh McDonald (The xx), the album is an 11-track, 38-minute masterpiece. Lined in black and white but containing a swell of different emotions within its self-imposed strictures, the songs cover topics from masochism ("Hit Me"), urban dread ("City's Full"), materialism, possessivenes and the experience of being a woman ("Husbands," "I Am Here"). Every one is delivered with fierce conviction and concision.   Still Corners Strange Pleasures (Sub Pop) CD - $14 LP - $15   Strange Pleasures is the second album by London's Still Corners. Where its predecessor, Creatures Of An Hour, soared on sugared layers of shoegazing-infused retro-futurism, Strange Pleasures offers a leaner, more acute extrapolation of '80s-suffused song and studio craft, navigating a sinuous trajectory between velveteen noir-pop and the glacial, mellifluous territory mapped by Modern English, The Cure and The Passions.   Uncluded Hokey Fright (Rhymesayers) CD - $14 LP - $29   While on tour supporting his album, indie rapper/producer Aesop Rock wrote a fan email to folk singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson (Moldy Peaches). A few years later they reconnected during the creation of a arts-and-oddities blog, which in turn sparked the pair's collaborative musical efforts. After appearing on each other's respective recent solo records, both found more worth pursuing within the group dynamic, and The Uncluded were hatched. Their debut album Hokey Fright was recorded over the course of a year using a variety of locations and devices, from voice memo recorders to fleshed-out studios.   Vampire Weekend Modern Vampires Of The City (XL) CD - $13 2LP - $19   Modern Vampires Of The City is Vampire Weekend's third album, and it is a bustling world of voices and visions from the death of Henry Hudson to the Orthodox girl falling in love at an uptown falafel shop, from Hannah Hunt tearing up the New York Times on a distant beach to the lethal chandelier of "Everlasting Arms," from the ardent yearning of "Don't Lie" to the harmonized voice of hope in "Young Lion". The album has a grandeur and romanticism evocative of the city where it was conceived.   Vile, Kurt Wakin On A Pretty Daze (Matador) CD - $14 LP - $23 LP - $30   This 69-minute double album is comprised of sweeping, expansive songs that are both very intimate and conversational. Also available on vinyl, with limited quantities pressed on blue wax with customizable artwork. “Kurt Vile distills thousands of hours spent with classic American guitar music into one very singular and sublime vision." – Pitchfork   Enter your email address to join our weekly mailing list & receive updates on new releases and special products!
