On Horror, the Mekons' first album for Fire Records, the long-running collective mixes punk, country, dub and music-hall to examine history and British imperialism; 'Mudcrawlers' pairs mournful melody with jagged edges.
Deerhunter - Microcastle 2LP pairs the album with the bonus Weird Era Cont. in a gatefold black 2LP. Warm, immediate recordings; includes 'Nothing Ever Happened'.
Sharp Pins' Turtle Rock collects 13 concise, homespun lo-fi pop songs from Kai Slater (Lifeguard). Jangling guitars and clipped hooks; this LP arrives on black vinyl.
Shellac - Dude Incredible LP (180g) with included CD. Recorded at Electrical Audio and mastered via DMM, this fifth Shellac LP delivers nine tight, propulsive songs; 'Compliant' lands with steely precision.
