Cory Hanson strips country and psych down to raw, widescreen guitar on Western Cum LP; searing leads, drifting steel and the bruising opener "Wings" anchoring eight bold tracks.
Dischord reissue of Artificial Horizon pressed on silver metallic opaque vinyl. Eleven tracks of Lungfish’s hypnotic, mantra-driven post-hardcore, led by Daniel Higgs’ incantatory vocals. Warm and immediate at the needle.
Big Laugh - Days of Disarray 12" (black vinyl). Four terse, metallic hardcore blasts from Milwaukee, tense riffs and jagged rhythms. 'Vacation' stands out on this potent farewell EP.
Frankie Cosmos - Next Thing LP. A compact set of short, direct indie-pop songs; 'Sinister' and 'If I Had a Dog' show Greta Kline’s plainspoken, intimate songwriting.
