Majesty Crush - Butterflies Don't Go Away (2 LP Compilation)

https://numerogroup.com/products/butterflies-dont-go-away

Quote

Driven by lust-fueled limerence and drifting far from conformity, Butterflies Don’t Go Away captures Majesty Crush’s transient, yet subversive mark on the landscape of American shoegaze to come. Tracked between 1991-1995, the quartet reimagined the collapse of the American rust belt as a late-night, nail biting fever dream/revenge fantasy. This deluxe 2xLP compiles their Love 15 album, singles, EPs, and rarities, all remastered from the original tapes, with thorough annotation and visual documentation in a 24-page booklet. An immortal transcendence if there ever was one.

Pasteboard's Glitter is getting a vinyl release.

This is a newer post-punk band. Their self-titled debut came out in 2018 and their 2nd release in 2020.  One of my favorite newer bands.

That's snazzy but I read someone comment that it looks like a dinner plate on a cutting board. I can't unsee that now.

Air Formation - Daylight Storms

Mastered especially for vinyl by Simon Scott, it will come on two slabs of 180g sunburst red and orange coloured wax, housed in a lovely thick reverse-board gatefold sleeve.

Flyying Colours is issuing their first two EPs on a single 12” for the first time.  

It says that it's remastered too.

Enjoying this...

Spunsugar, from Sweden

https://spunsugar.bandcamp.com/album/drive-through-chapel

Bandcamp bio: "Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences. Sound wise, imagine if Alternative Nation on MTV 1997 and a drum machine fall into a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy wheel breaks and derails. They grew up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound."

A couple recommendations that I don't see previously mentioned.

XO - Heart

https://xotheband.bandcamp.com/album/heart

This came out  a handful of years ago. I think it's excellent and can be found new for under $10. 

Sweam - Lounge Music For Cat People

https://sweam.bandcamp.com/album/lounge-music-for-cat-people

They only pressed 25 of these on vinyl, released 2020. From Norway, shoegaze with enough jangle to be accessible. Tracks Jamie and D'arcy remind me a bit of Foals.

Highspire is pressing 'Your Everything' on vinyl for the first time. Pre-orders available now.

Make sure you read the history of the Swervedriver EP that Adam posted if you haven't. It's a good read. Copied here in its entirety.

dunno how fast this went, but i saw the email maybe 15 mins after it went out, got distracted by a work call  and then an hr later - GONE

I think the original 150 allotted sold out but Adam put 25 more up. It lists '500 pressed' so perhaps the remaining are slotted for future touring or record stores?

new Mumrunner track... new album out in March.

Reminds me of DIIV

Got these in the mail today and all 3 had huge bent corners.  Ugh!  Not sure what to do now. 

 

Did anyone that ordered from the US uDiscover have their order ship yet? 

Mine arrived with bent corners as well. UDiscover offered a couple options but none include shipping out replacements because they are out of them.

I got the test pressing and Space Travel single. I've seen a number of posts on the FB Swervedriver Fan page saying people have been receiving their pledge items, but not everyone yet.

1k each, 500 of the 1000 red were bundled with the slipmat under shrink.

Well damn that's impressive info. You sound connected.  

Thanks!

Anyone know how many were pressed of the red and blue variants? I haven't seen numbers for them anywhere.

The Fire Theft wins!

I saw them open for both Saves The Day and Grandaddy.  (Could barely stomach Saves The Day)

Voted!

You can vote for Run Out Groove to reissue this now. The highest vote getter out of the 3 optional albums gets a repress.

Anyone get Catherine Wheel's Chrome shipped yet? I have a copy on order at Bullmoose, but I think it may have been delayed to tomorrow.

I'm still waiting for mine. There was likely a delay with mine because of payment issues. Looking forward to comparing it to the original.

what a time to be alive where Hundredth are mentioned in the shoegaze/dream pop thread. But indeed is their most recent record really 'gazy and atmospheric as opposed to their kind of cliché melodic hardcore sound from earlier stuff. I'll have to give them another chance I guess.

indeed it's a complete change from their earlier work which was not my thing at all.

autolux - "turnstile blues" (one of my most favorite albums)

flyying colours - "wavygravy" (in my opinion one of the best shoegaze bands to come out in the past 5 years)

the distortions - "this place doesn't have the balls to kill me" (worth a mention because I've never seen them mentioned anywhere)

guitar - "honeysky" (very MBV influenced)

mystery machine - "horn o'plenty" (90s Canadian band, only their first album was released on vinyl but they tell me that they are re-releasing a couple more on vinyl soon... they sound kinda like Swervedriver but a little more indie rock than shoegaze)

hundredth - "youth" (darker and harder shoegaze)

ex cops - "separator" (I was pretty fond of this debut and think it's pretty solid all the way through. I was really dissatisfied with their second album though as it was a change in direction)

for reference, some of my favorites are Swervedriver, Catherine Wheel, Film School.

(I realize now that at least one of these bands was previously mentioned which I'm not really surprised by. The search function on this site needs some work)
