Neko Case The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You Deluxe 2LP & Bonus CD (Vinyl)

& lt;b & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt;Deluxe Edition Includes 3 Bonus Tracks, Etched Side D, Booklet & amp; Tattoo Sheet! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt;First Album in Over 4 Years! With Guest Artists M. Ward, Steve Turner and members of The New Pornographers, My Morning Jacket, Calexico & amp; Los Lobos! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; There's a special challenge to being an artist in this increasingly fractured cultural age; a delicate balancing act, between being of your time, and striving for timelessness. Few contemporary artists even try. Neko Case is an exception. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Anti- releases Neko Case's much anticipated new studio album (and first album in over four years), The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You. The release of first single & quot;Man & quot; has already created a stir, leading to the biggest radio story of her career and raves from Rolling Stone to Pitchfork to NPR, who called & quot;Man & quot; a & quot;bad-ass summer jam. & quot; Now fans will get to hear the vaulting ambition and rock swagger that & quot;Man & quot; promises. Neko's most precise, urgent record to date, marked by a melodic immediacy, a loving embrace of the big rock gesture, and a lyrical frankness. The perfect culmination of Neko's trajectory so far: the pop, folk and country influences, the fluid craft of her band, and that soaring voice, blended seamlessly into the album her legions of fans have been waiting for. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album was executive-produced by Case and recorded at Wavelab in Tuscon, as well as Portland, Los Angeles and with Phil Palazzolo in Brooklyn. Tucker Martine, Case and Darryl Neudorf mixed the album, with backing by guitarist Paul Rigby, bassist Tom V. Ray, vocalist Kelly Hogan and multi-instrumentalist Jon Rauhouse. Other guests include M. Ward, Howe Gelb, Steve Turner of Mudhoney and members of The New Pornographers, My Morning Jacket, Calexico, Los Lobos and Visqueen. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Neko has kept in the public eye with high profile appearances on soundtracks, notably on The Hunger Games, with Nick Cave on True Blood, and on the new Stephen King musical project Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. Neko’s gorgeous voice has also led to numerous appearances alongside Andrew Bird, The Dodos,Jakob Dylan, and Peter Wolf, as well as her continued association with the New Pornographers. And her cultural smarts have gained her numerous, non-music spots from guest-hosting on Turner Classic Movies alongside Robert Osborne to competing on NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. Most recently, Neko gave NPR unprecedented access to her recording process, creating a threepart series on the making of The Worse Things Get that has aired throughout 2013 and will culminate at album’s release. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;With 11 original new songs (and one Nico cover), The Worse Things Get is the result of Case’s four year 'embarrassing and hilarious march' into her own psyche, a place she describes as a 'brain wilderness more dense and dangerous than I thought.' But after all that, Case says she feels like 'a streamlined being' and the album reflects that. Precise and immediate, The Worse Things Get has... big rock gestures without overshadowing what NPR called 'one of the most memorable and seductive voices in music'.” & lt;/b & gt; - Shea Corrigan, American Songwriter & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;One of the most memorable and seductive voices in music & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - NPR & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Her voice is a force of nature & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - New York Times Magazine & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Indie's greatest singer & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Her voice is a bear hug in the literal sense; succumbing to it is like being carjacked by Patsy Cline... [O]ver 15-plus years, her rural, urbane noir has deepened and darkened, ferocious in its empathy, cryptic in its sentiment, deadly in its beauty.' & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rob Harvilla, SPIN, Rated 8/10 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;//www.youtube.com/embed/95HL8XQX3vg & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;//www.youtube.com/embed/unNa-9qGkfI & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Deluxe Edition & lt;br & gt; • Double LP & lt;br & gt; • Etched Side D & lt;br & gt; • Includes Bonus CD of Entire Album & lt;br & gt; • 3 Bonus Tracks & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; • Booklet & lt;br & gt; • Tattoo Sheet & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP1 - Side 1: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt;1.

Jolie Holland Wine Dark Sea 45rpm 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Wine Dark Sea Reveals Deeper, More Mature Songwriting! 45rpm Double LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Over the span of her career, Jolie Holland has knotted together a century of American song - jazz, blues, soul, rock and roll - into some stew that is impossible to categorize with any conventional critical terminology. She thrives on the red hot center of a musical composition, in all its strange and brutal detail. Note how easily the line & quot;I've been taken outside and I've been brutalized & quot; trips off her tongue in Joe Tex's & quot;The Love You Save & quot;. Which brings us to the album & quot;Wine Dark Sea & quot;. Astute listeners to Holland's work can recognize how her writing over the years has deepened, matured, become the songwriting of a wise, worldly adult, not just of a rambler across the American latitudes, but to understand this is still no preparation for the sonic assault, the unprecedented confidence and merciless brilliance of Wine Dark Sea which yokes the New York underground to American song in a way that has rarely been attempted since White Light/White Heat by the Velvet Underground. Two drummers, sometimes as many as three or four electric guitars, horns of a sort that come out of free jazz and the No Wave scene as much as they come from soul music, and a refreshing need, on Holland's part, to sing out at the extreme of her range, above the squalling insatiable lullaby of the thing. Wine Dark Sea is the album of a lifetime with a lifetime of work in it. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Double LP & lt;br & gt; • 45rpm & lt;br & gt; • Includes CD of entire album & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 - Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. On and On & lt;br & gt; 2. First Sign of Spring & lt;br & gt; 3. Dark Days & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;LP 1 - Side B: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Route 30 & lt;br & gt; 2. I Thought It Was the Moon & lt;br & gt; 3. The Love You Save & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;LP 2 - Side C: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. All the Love & lt;br & gt; 2. Saint Dymphna & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;LP 2 - Side D: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. Palm Wine Drunkard & lt;br & gt; 2. Out On the Wine Dark Sea & lt;br & gt; 3. Waiting For the Sun

Blue Stingrays Surf-N-Burn 180g LP (Vinyl)

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Modern Surf Rock At Its Best On 180g Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Long Out Of Print! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;The facts in 2021 : A fictional '50s surf-guitar band (Blue Stingrays), on a fictional record label (Epitone Records), actually created by a master guitar player. A story akin to the Traveling Wilburys, this long out-of-print LP has been dubbed by many as the & lt;strong & gt; & quot;holy grail of modern surf guitar albums. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The Blue Stingrays' story starts in '59... The band formed that summer in Southern Cali and created a new sound unlike any before or ever since. That sound was surf music. Like those who roamed the globe for the perfect wave, the Blue Stingrays nailed the perfect sound when their twang rang 'round the world. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;A singular devotion to surf guitar music became a way of life for The Blue Stingrays and they considered it to be the only art form profound enough to truly express the passion in man's soul. They were extremely prolific artists and with no time for anything but their music. These surf guitar pioneers produced three legendary recordings on the now defunct DEL-REY records: & quot;Let's Go & quot;, & quot;Surf Party & quot; and & quot;Valley Of The Rays & quot;. This discography of classic surf music is now impossible to find, but the mark made by these records on the music world is indelible. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;When Bill Bucks, an Electro Records executive, heard about the Blue Stingrays, he offered them $1 million to sign with them. The label hoped to get the band to recruit a young vocalist they had lined up for the Blue Stingrays and produce a series of soundtracks for Hollywood's latest trend... surf movies! After they learned of the band's vow of anonymity and refusal to appear live or to participate in anything that would create fame, the label quickly withdrew their offer. (Note: their vow of anonymity was a serious matter for the Blue Stingrays, they even required recording engineers to wear blindfolds!) & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;In the meantime, surf bands sprung up everywhere. Some emerged on the East Coast, some even had vocalists! Next came the British invasion in '64 and that was all these humble artists could take. They fled the USA and spent the next three decades in exile on a tiny island two miles southeast of Tahiti. These dedicated musicians wished to live out their lives unknown and never receive recognition for their art until they died...like Da Vinci, Raphael and other great artists that went before them. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;On the South Pacific isle, they spent their days honing their skills and refining their art without intrusion. This isolation was driven by their intention of one day returning to their California home with the last word on their art...the definitive recording of surf guitar music. The result is this piece of history. Recorded for Southern California's legendary Epitone Records, Surf-N-Burn is the very last and only available Blue Stingrays record. Period. They made their masterpiece, their & quot;Mona Lisa & quot;. Listen and you will appreciate what these guys were trying to achieve and have accomplished. The most profound expression of the human condition ever communicated through art, the passion in man's soul expressed through surf guitar and captured on record! & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Now the Blue Stingrays will disappear, as this is the last record you'll ever hear from them. You will never know their names, but you will always remember their sound. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt; Supposedly the Tom Petty Band playing surf music for their own pleasure, the Blue Stingrays keep their identities secret and have never played a show. This record, perhaps their only release (though the CD claims they put out three other, impossible-to-find records in the '60s, which is probably as true as their claim of inventing surf music), is a pleasant, mellow stroll through Polynesia and beyond. Whoever these guys are, they can definitely play their instruments... There are several great songs here including their gorgeous, surfy take on the Goldfinger theme. & lt;footer & gt; -Adam Bregman, AllMusic.com, 4/5 stars & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;180g Vinyl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;First Time on Vinyl Since 1997 & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Long Out Of Print & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 1: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Monsoon & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Echo Park & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Goldfinger & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Brave New World & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Russian Roulette & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Moon Over Catalina & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Malibu Babylon & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side 2: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Blue Venus & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Land of the Unknown & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Surfer's Life & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Stingray Stomp & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Zuma Sunset & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Ju Ju Beads & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Green Sea & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Super Hero & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;
