Looks cute and I would go for this if I didn't own this album already. Maybe if they do a box-set with all the B-sides in 5 years I'd rebuy.

This sounded loud back in the day. YMMV. Wish the band would release the album it's from on vinyl already.

I normally don't care much about Bandcamp's AotD recommendations, but today's is a one-woman op called Hachiku from Australia and her music is rad. https://hachikumusic.bandcamp.com/album/ill-probably-be-asleep Definitely dream-pop, and moreso the lo-fi bedroom pop end of things. One of her live performances on YT has here covering The Cranberries' "Dreams" to perfection.

You might like the band Lacing. Not sure if the vocals are darker or whatever, but they're heavy shoegaze too.

Yeah it's what, a full 6 dollars extra for the Bleep variant? I bought one anyway only because there was an astonishingly cheap shipping option to Canada (this is shipping from the UK I'm pretty sure) that really helped seal the deal.

I might have to double-dip on this and flip my OG. Same thing about the Teebs 10th Anniversary reissue

Bleep Exclusive Red /300 also standard black /??? https://bleep.com/release/211265-mount-kimbie-crooks-lovers-10th-anniversary-edition When they released Crooks & Lovers back in 2010 on Scuba's Hotflush label, Mount Kimbie changed the face of the soon to be going overground dubstep scene of which many critics aligned them as major players of. Looking back now it's clear how much of a game changer Crooks & Lovers truly was, mixing the after-hours angles of Burial with a thirst for the sort of pop savvy sound that would come to characterized them and fellow future Warp signings Darkstar, Mount Kimbie created an album that became the go-to disc for both zonked out/just got home clubbers while also becoming a haven for indie kids looking to dip their toes into the burgeoning electronic underground. Loaded to the brim with more classics than we can care to mention, the instant standouts are the crackly R&B of 'Carbonated' the floaty dubstep wobble of 'Blind Night Errand' and of course the bleary-eyed siren cry of 'Ruby' through each track is a crown jewel in its own right. Reflecting back now it's easy to trace the dubstep/house/electronic sensibility and influence of Mount Kimbie's Crooks & Lovers within the work of fellow scene outsiders from both the albums time, we're talking James Blake and Jamie xx while its presence can arguably be felt right up within the present day material of Yves Tumor. A proper modern classic album that defines a pivotal moment in a host of new genres beginning to come into their own in the early 2010s. Featured in this anniversary edition’s third disc is the bewitching Maybes EP which has been long out of print since it’s initial release in 2009. The groups debut release setting out the direction of what was later labelled ‘post-dubstep’ by some but encompassing a wide array of influences from further afield. Yearning with the mood of a whole new steppa direction, a world of skewed samples and elegiac chord sequences. The opening track is grand stuff; a warped vocal twist through a delayed, multi-tracked piano phrase while stuttering breaks flit way in the background. The remainder plays with conventions of post-rock, drone and avant-garde whilst keeping a distant echo of the likes of Boxcutter. Mount Kimbie's Crooks & Lovers is a testament to the groups uniquely introspective production, an album that both inspired a wealth of new talent and paved the way for the groups own bright future in the scene.

I don't know why you're putting so much faith in a JPC.de listing tbh.

Got an email update indicating manufacturer delays and the box set shipping in mid-December from Dangerbird. There's a 20% off coupon code: JED2020 and it can be used on the tri-stripe edition of the standalone piano-solo LP.

Btw the 10" went on sale again at RT. Bought me one as well as the Laura Marling 10". Still sad I didn't get either of the Phoebe Bridgers, but I'm hoping RT will take care of that.

Thanks for the Bitch Falcon heads-up. After the second track, I was sold. Far better band than that over-hyped Porridge Radio, anyway.

Maybe for a few months, but no one remembers the price-bubbles that bands like Wooden Shjips experienced with their early singles, going for 80 USD. I bet most people don't even remember what Jay Reatard 7"s used to go for.

The speed at which RT exclusives are selling out is actively annoying at this point

Wow of all the days to not pay attention to this board. I hope that Rough Trade has another variant of both, maybe for end-of-year?

This is your inescapable hint. This means we would point you to any record store in North America.

Posting a URL link would be really helpful.

Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like the Aidan Baker side of Nadja so I grabbed it. One left at the same price. Also, there's two snazzy variants of this album on Bandcamp. But it's 18USD before shipping. In Amazon deals news, the recent Mirah reissue is going at a good price at just under 21 CAD: https://www.amazon.ca/Think-Like-Really-Anniversary-Reissue/dp/B08BDR8YL1/ These days I just go to Outlet Deals and browse under Music, then filter to vinyl.

Jeez it's almost as if variant-hunting comes with some pitfalls. Try contacting the label.

I paid for that Highspire reissue a few days ago. Damn.

It's objectively hilarious that any band anywhere near a shoegaze sound would have fans lamenting the lack of clear vocals.

They straight-up stole the mockups from the most recent Com Truise release lmao

とっちかってーと中華風味。

Really sucks that this variant which is obviously the best doesn't ship to Canada. What gives?

So even the versions with the bonus 7" are 3 songs short of the CD version. Seems as though all the songs would have fit on 3 sides of a 2LP but the band decided not to go that route.

Cutting Through The Tether Four albums in, the convenient and generalized catchphrase for Here Lies Man’s erudite sound — if Black Sabbath played Afrobeat — might seem a little played out. But Ritual Divination is perhaps the best rendering of the idea so far. Particularly on the Sabbath side of the equation: The guitars are heavier and more blues based than before, but the ancient rhythmic formula of the clave remains a constant. “Musically it’s an opening up more to traditional rock elements,” says vocalist/guitarist/ cofounder Marcos Garcia, who also plays guitar in Antibalas. “It’s always been our intention to explore. And, as we travelled deeper into this musical landscape, new features revealed themselves.” The L.A. based band comprised of Antibalas members have toured relentlessly following their breakout 2017 self-titled debut. Their second album, You Will Know Nothing and an EP, Animal Noises, both followed in 2018. Third album No Ground To Walk Upon emerged in August 2019. All of them were crafted by Garcia and cofounder/drummer Geoff Mann (former Antibalas drummer and son of jazz musician Herbie Mann) in their L.A. studio between tours. Ritual Divination is their first album recorded as the full 4-piece band, including bassist JP Maramba and keyboardist Doug Organ. Ritual Divination continues with an ongoing concept of HLM playing the soundtrack to an imaginary movie, with each song being a scene. “It’s an inward psychedelic journey, the album is the trip,” Garcia says. “The intention and purpose of the music is to create a sonic ritual to lift the veil of inner space and divine the true nature of reality.” Likewise, musically and sonically, the album is self-reflexive. “On this album the feel changes within a song,” Garcia says. “Whereas before each song was meant to induce a trancelike state, now more of the songs have their own arc built in.” Similarly, the guitar sounds themselves herein eschew the fuzz pedals of previous recordings, going for the directness of pure amp overdrive and distortion using an interconnected rig of 4 amplifiers. And, here, the well-versed live band is able to record as a unit, giving it much more of a live and dynamic feel. Rough Trade named the band’s self-titled debut in their prestigious Top 10 Albums of 2017. BBC 6 & Classic Rock Magazine deemed it among the year’s best, as well as countless other press outlets singing its praises. Each subsequent album furthered the band’s reputation for genre-smashing rhythmic experimentation, topping many year-end lists as well as earning features from countless metal and indie rock outlets, plus cover stories in weekly papers. “We’re very conscious of how the rhythms service the riffs,” Garcia explains. “Tony Iommi’s (Black Sabbath) innovation was to make the riff the organizing principle of a song. We are taking that same approach but employing a different organizing principle: For Iommi it was the blues, for us it comes directly from Africa.” Ritual Divination will be available on LP, CD and download on January 22nd, 2021 via RidingEasy Records.
