Belle & Sebastian The Third Eye Centre 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;b & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt;Classic Reissued on Vinyl With & quot;It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;A Collection of Rarities and Non-Album Tracks! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; 2003's Dear Catastrophe Waitress ushered in a new chapter for Belle and Sebastian. Once a hushed bedroom indie project, the band re-emerged as a pop powerhouse. Subsequent albums, & quot;The Life Pursuit & quot; and & quot;Write About Love & quot; marked a newfound confidence in the Scottish collective, and with it, some of their best record and ticket sales to date, elevating Belle & amp; Sebastian from cherished undergroundlings into masters of modern songcraft. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Third Eye Centre, like its predecessor & quot;Push Barman To Open Old Wounds, & quot; collects fan-favorite B-sides from cherished albums and also serves as a documentary of a decade - in this case, Belle and Sebastian's second coming. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; From the remixes of & quot;I'm A Cuckoo & quot; and & quot;Your Cover's Blown & quot; to soon-to-be-classics: & quot;Blue Eyes of A Millionaire & quot; and & quot;Last Trip, & quot; this collection traces the band's growing interest in a mastery of classic rock, glam, disco and pop, all anchored by Stuart Murdoch's forever-intimate lyricism. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Third Eye Centre's collection of B-sides, collectibles & amp; non-LP tracks is an indispensable entry into any Belle and Sebastian fan's stacks. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The 19 tracks are from the time around the three albums Dear Catastrophe Waitress (2003), The Life Pursuit (2006) and Write About Love (2010). Consider The Third Eye Centre the successor of sorts to Push Barman To Open Old Wounds (2005), which compiled earlier singles and EPs. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; • Includes free download of entire album & lt;br & gt; • & quot;It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 - Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Belle & Sebastian Tigermilk LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Classic Reissued on Vinyl With & quot;It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Tigermilk is the 1996 debut album from Scottish pop group Belle & amp; Sebastian. The cover photograph was taken by Stuart Murdoch, and features Joanne Kenney - the same model who appeared on the cover of the Dog on Wheels EP. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Overall, the acclaimed Scottish indie pop/folk group's 1996 album proved to be a very impressive debut. The word-of-mouth success of Tigermilk thankfully led to the group's continuing efforts of translating Murdoch's songs and ideas into actual music. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album is named after a song that didn't end up on the album – an instrumental that was later performed on Belle & amp; Sebastian's early tours. All of the songs on the album were written by Stuart Murdoch between 1993 and 1996, and originally performed solo on the Glasgow open mic circuit. Though he performs on the album, trumpet player Mick Cooke was not yet an official member of the band. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Pitchfork Media included & quot;The State I Am In & quot; at number 17 on their Top 200 Tracks of the 90s. The album track & quot;I Don't Love Anyone & quot; was featured in the film The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and in the closing credits of the fifth episode of the HBO series Girls, & quot;Hard Being Easy. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; • Includes limited time download coupon & lt;br & gt; • & quot;It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Belle & Sebastian If You're Feeling Sinister LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Classic Reissued on Vinyl With & quot;It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; If You're Feeling Sinister is the second album by Scottish pop group Belle & amp; Sebastian, released on the independent label Jeepster Records in the United Kingdom and Matador Records in the United States. The album was released to much critical praise in 1996. Band leader Stuart Murdoch has stated in interviews that this is probably his best collection of songs. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; If You're Feeling Sinister has received wide acclaim. Pitchfork Media placed the album at number 14 in its top 100 albums of the 1990s. Later, the readers of Pitchfork named the album as the 31st greatest album since the website launched in 1996. Rolling Stone featured the album at number 75 on its list of & quot;100 Best Albums of the Nineties, & quot; while Spin included the record at number 59 on its & quot;125 Best Albums of the Past 25 Years & quot; list. If You're Feeling Sinister also appears as an entry in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die as chosen by music critics. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Whimsy and preciousness is an integral part of & quot;If You're Feeling Sinister, & quot; along with clever wit and gentle, intricate arrangements - a wonderful blend of The Smiths and Simon & amp; Garfunkel, to be reductive...Sinister plays like a great forgotten album, couched in '80s indie, '90s attitude, and '60s folk-pop. It's beautifully out of time, and even if other Belle & amp; Sebastian albums sound like it, this is where they achieved a sense of grace. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;-Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; • Includes limited time download coupon & lt;br & gt; • & quot;It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Belle & Sebastian Belle & Sebastian Write About Love LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Vinyl Reissue Features Duets with Norah Jones & amp; Carey Mulligan! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Belle and Sebastian Write About Love (also known informally as Write About Love) is the eighth studio album by indie-pop group Belle & amp; Sebastian released on October 11, 2010. The album is the second collaboration between Belle & amp; Sebastian and Tony Hoffer, who produced their previous album, The Life Pursuit. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Glasgow’s beloved Belle & amp; Sebastian delivered one of their finest albums with Write About Love. Marrying the intimacy of early works like Sinister and Tigermilk with the production values of their more recent work, Write About Love is a varied, captivating and occasionally disturbing trawl through the mind of Stuart Murdoch and his colleagues. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album features duets with Norah Jones and actress Carey Mulligan (An Education) and, like their last album, was recorded with full orchestration with Tony Hoffer at the Sound Factory in Los Angeles. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Belle & amp; Sebastian have created their own precious world out of the remnants of ‘60s pop culture, filtering it through the aesthetics of the ‘80s underground, maintaining a style and sensibility through shifting fashions...Song for song, it’s as strong as any of their records -- if anything, these 11 songs are the tightest they have ever been -- and Stuart Murdoch remains faithful to the aesthetic he essayed at the outset of his career, finding sustenance in the fine details, his obsessions carrying the weight of passion. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; • Includes free download of entire album & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Belle & Sebastian The Life Pursuit 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Classic Reissued on Vinyl With & quot;It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; After making seven albums, Belle and Sebastian made the most forceful record of their career with The Life Pursuit. Most people may think they’ve got them pegged as fey cuties, but the band have cut the feet out from under everyone with a record of startling clarity, accomplishment and impact. 'The Life Pursuit' is nothing short of a revelation. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Decamped for the duration of recording to Los Angeles, Belle and Sebastian found the focus to fully realize what the late John Peel correctly identified as their “surprising muscularity” at Glastonbury. Of course, to those paying attention, it was always clear that in chief songwriter Stuart Murdoch we had a treasure in waiting. Perceptive, humane and hilarious, his writing has always had a voice as discernible as a Cocker or Morrissey, but perhaps the bushel obscuring it was a little more, uh, capacious. On ‘The Life Pursuit’ this individuality seems to have reached its apotheosis of heartbreak and humor. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; One of the chief pleasures of listening to this record is to follow the lives of Stuart’s engaging cast of characters. You may never be quite sure whose “voice” it is you are listening to, but unlike, say, Morrissey, it would be a mistake to assume that it is always “Stuart”. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Belle and Sebastian pull in stuff from all over the place, so that Sly & amp; the Family Stone/Funkadelic inflections (“Song For Sunshine”) sit side by side with the classic bubblegum riffs and call-and-response vocals of “White Collar Boy”; Bowie stylings of “Sukie In the Graveyard”; the glammy T-Rex of “The Blues Are Still Blue”; the prime-time miserablism of a Terry Hall (“Mornington Crescent”) and the irrepressible rousing piano drive of “The Price Of A Cup Of Tea” (which quotes fellow Glaswegian Bobby Gillespie in its opening line). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; • Includes limited time download coupon & lt;br & gt; • & quot;It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Stuart Murdoch, vocals, guitar, piano & lt;br & gt; Stevie Jackson, guitar, vocals & lt;br & gt; Sarah Martin, vocals, violin & lt;br & gt; Chris Geddes, piano, keyboards & lt;br & gt; Richard Colburn, drums & lt;br & gt; Mick Cooke, trumpet, guitar, bass guitar & lt;br & gt; Bob Kildea, bass guitar, guitar & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Belle & Sebastian Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Classic Reissued on Vinyl With & quot;It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant is the fourth album from the Scottish group Belle & amp; Sebastian. The album features songs at a slower pace than their other albums, making it their most quiet and mellow album yet. The album is the closest the band has come to the chamber pop genre, as the instrumentation is mostly acoustic. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The band introduced many stylistic changes on this album, such as an organic strings section and more songs with lead vocals by other members of the band; Sarah Martin sings on & quot;Waiting for the Moon to Rise, & quot; Isobel Campbell sings on & quot;Family Tree, & quot; and performs duets with Stevie Jackson (who sings in an unusually low voice) on & quot;Beyond the Sunrise & quot; and Stuart Murdoch on & quot;Women's Realm. & quot; Jackson also sings lead vocal on & quot;The Wrong Girl. & quot; It is the last Belle & amp; Sebastian album to feature bass player Stuart David, who departed the band after the album's completion. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This album has been out of print since 2010! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Also like its predecessor, Fold Your Hands Child opts for a subtle, intimate palette that reveals its charms only in its own sweet time. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Jason Ankeny, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; • Includes limited time download coupon & lt;br & gt; • & quot;It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Belle & Sebastian Dear Catastrophe Waitress 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Classic Reissued on Vinyl With & quot;It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Dear Catastrophe Waitress is the sixth studio album by Belle & amp; Sebastian, a Scottish indie pop group, released in 2003 on Rough Trade Records. Producer Trevor Horn, former member of The Buggles and producer of groups like Yes and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, oversaw the production of the album, and gave it a more polished, pop-friendly sound. This stood in sharp contrast with their previous lo-fi, folky albums (although songs like & quot;Lord Anthony & quot; hearkened back to their old sound.) In particular, the danceable track & quot;Stay Loose & quot; proved to be the first in a series of songs (such as & quot;Your Cover's Blown & quot; and & quot;Sukie in the Graveyard & quot;) that further diverged from their roots. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This obscure Scottish indie-pop act released their strongest album in seven years with Dear Catastrophe Waitress. Singer-songwriter Stuart Murdoch finally got back to leading his band. Horn brought every instrument into a crystal-clear, lovingly retro, Top of the Pops clarity. It's their most diverse album by far, from the marching, uptempo drums on & quot;Step Into My Office Baby & quot; to the fractured, New Wave-organ-driven & quot;Stay Loose. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This album is back in print for the first time in years! This first time on Matador label release features brand new cover art. Repackaged in resealable mylar bag with & quot;It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career & quot; obi strip . & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...the performances are tighter, confident, even bouncy, bringing the band much closer to the vintage pop and soul records it adores. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;-Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Murdoch's gift for loopy, tender, unshakeable hymns, stomps and meditations is untouchable. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Blender Magazine & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The painstaking arrangements, dynamic shifts and tempo changes of Dear Catastrophe Waitress equal or surpass the chamber-pop perfection of the group's earlier work. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Popmatters & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Signals a new and exciting chapter in the Belle & amp; Sebastian story. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -BBC & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl Reissue & lt;br & gt; • Double LP & lt;br & gt; • Brand new alternate cover for first-time Matador release & lt;br & gt; • Includes limited time download coupon & lt;br & gt; • & quot;It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career & quot; Obi Strip & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 - Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Produced and mixed at Maze Studios in Atlanta by Ben H. Allen III, best known for his work with Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective, and Raury, among others, the band – who have been listening to things like vintage Detroit techno and Giorgio Moroder – have brought a dance-party element into their gorgeous tales of sensitive souls navigating a world gone awry. It is perhaps the most inspired and wide-reaching album Belle and Sebastian have ever made. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Given that band leader Stuart Murdoch has openly declared himself pro-bubblegum before, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that ‘Enter Sylvia Plath,’ ‘The Book Of You,’ and ‘Play For Today’ have keyboard hooks that recall Scandinavian pop machines past and present. The filmic loves, kitchen sink imagery and baroque touches are still there, too, don’t worry. It’s all about trusting in the restorative power of pop music. If you’d trust anyone to write a great Europop song about Sylvia Plath, you’d trust Belle & amp; Sebastian. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The Scottish indie-pop group has managed to build a fan base the old-fashioned way: by writing old-fashioned songs, the kind that brim with melody, sensitivity, cleverness, sophistication, and sheer beauty.

Interpol Turn On The Bright Lights LP (Vinyl)

The spare, lean textures, darkly oblique lyrics and suave stage presence were entirely different from the bands who preceded them on the charts and the radio. The album was relesed to a great deal of critical acclaim and sold exceptionally well for an indie release. It also ranked highly on the yearly lists of many rock critics. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musically, many have pointed out the similarities between Turn on the Bright Lights and the 1970s group Joy Division. Both groups make heavy use of drums, often as the lead instrument in a song, and the lead singer of Interpol, Paul Banks, has a somewhat similar voice in tone to that of Joy Division's Ian Curtis. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...there's no getting around that Turn On the Bright Lights is an incredibly powerful and affecting album. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Eric Carr, Pitchfork & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Sonic Youth The Eternal 2LP (Vinyl)

With Pavement's Mark Ibold joining on bass, and producer John Agnello back at the controls, & quot;The Eternal & quot; takes the melodic songwriting of 2006's & quot;Rather Ripped & quot; and slams down the accelerator pedal. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Twelve tunes that are a fireworks display of Sonic Youth touchstones. From the primal nowave attack of its earliest days, to the radical chording and song structures of its 90s period, to the more focused and contemporary explorations of the last five years. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The writing took place in the Ecstatic Peace Folk + Cinema Basement in Northampton, MA and in the bands own Echo Canyon West in Hoboken, NJ. All recordings were done at Echo Canyon West with John Agnello at the board and Aaron Mullan in full assist. Agnello and band mixed the monster at Water Music in Hoboken. Greg Calbi mastered it beautifully at Sterling Sound in NYC. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The cover art for The Eternal is a painting by the late, great American folk artist John Fahey. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; High Quality 120g Vinyl analog in heavy duty Stoughton gatefold sleeve, printed inner sleeves, and limited time MP3 coupon. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The Eternal...opens with a pair of short one-two flashes: & quot;Sacred Trickster, & quot; the kind of driving, often menacing guitar-pop thrash that has been a part of their sound since the beginning, sung in a convincing cry by bassist/guitarist Kim Gordon-and & quot;Anti-Orgasm & quot;, whose first line, 'Mission control to brain police, & quot; and chorus of copulatory grunts, is an instant SY classic... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Robert Baird, Stereophile Magazine, July 2009, pg 65 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The LP edition will be suitably grand, in the mold of most of the products leading the recent resurgence of vinyl: a gatefold cover of heavy paper stock, (120g double LP), and lots of extra photos inside.

Bauhaus Crackle 2LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Double LP Collects the Group's Greatest Hits! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Crackle (also known as Crackle: The Best of Bauhaus) is a greatest hits album by English post-punk band Bauhaus. The album was released in 1998 by record label Beggars Banquet, during the band's Resurrection Tour. It includes remastered versions of some of their single hits and most popular songs. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Bauhaus are the founding fathers of goth rock, creating a minimalistic, overbearingly gloomy style of post-punk rock driven by jagged guitar chords and cold, distant synthesizers. Throughout their brief career, the band explored all the variations on their bleak musical ideas, adding elements of glam rock, experimental electronic rock, funk, and heavy metal. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;It’s an excellent single-disc overview of the group’s brief career, containing all of their essential songs, from “In the Flat Field” and “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” to “Ziggy Stardust” and “Burning from the Inside.” It’s nice that there’s finally a thorough single-disc retrospective of the groundbreaking goth quartet. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; And finally the 1998 compilation makes it onto vinyl. The tracks have been re-sequenced for the format and there’s a special substitution of an unreleased hybrid mix of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” featuring a 1982 studio vocal over a live backing track. The two disc set is packaged in a gatefold sleeve and, with under 20 minutes playing time per side, the cut is loud with minimum compression. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Double LP & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Sleeve & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 - Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Spoon Hot Thoughts LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Ninth Album On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; One of Paste Magazine's & quot;The 20 Best Albums of 2017 (So Far) & quot;! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Hot Thoughts is the bravest, most sonically inventive work of Spoon's career. With all due respect to earlier efforts that have made the quintet both critically acclaimed and a commercial contender, preconceptions about this band are about to be obliterated. That’s not to say Hot Thoughts doesn't have a requisite supply of infectious earworms but there’s a lyrical bent that’s as carnal as it’s crafty, and a newfound sense of sonic exploration that results in the genre-smasher Spoon have flirted with in the past but not fully consummated. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Co-produced by Spoon and Dave Fridmann and reunited with Matador, let's acknowledge that Britt Daniel’s spot in the pantheon of rock’s genius songwriters was well established a ways back, but with the crackling, incandescent, multi-dimensional backdrop conjured on Hot Thoughts, the lines between accessible and experimental become non-factors for once and all. It’s pop as high art, delivered with total confidence and focus. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Spoon’s ninth album, Hot Thoughts, succeeds first and foremost as a disarmingly subtle way of taking a meaningful evolutionary step as a band. Even a quick listen reveals that the veteran Austin rockers have taken their sonic palette to its most adventurous conclusion. It's not the first time they've been willing to bathe their sound in synthesizers or other electronic treatments, but it is the first time they've let some of the elegant sonic spaces truly overtake the record. To arrive at such a worthwhile new vista roughly 24 years into their career is a pretty serious achievement, and all with no more overt fanfare than a humble presentation of one of their best offerings. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Jeff Leven, Paste Magazine & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Like the stunning artwork of returning illustrator Boneface, the sonic signatures of the lineup that took '…Like Clockwork' around the world and back—Founder/guitarist/vocalist/lyricist Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar, keys), Michael Shuman (bass), Dean Fertita (keys, guitar), Jon Theodore (drums)—are as unmistakable as ever, though coexisting with sufficient new twists to induce recurring double takes. As Homme himself puts it, & lt;b & gt; & quot;The most important aspect of making this record was redefining our sound, asking and answering the question 'what do we sound like now?' If you can’t make a great first record, you should just stop—but if you can make a great record but you keep making records and your sound doesn’t evolve, you become a parody of that original sound. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Of his role working within such a closed and confident ecosystem as Queens Of The Stone Age, Ronson says, & lt;b & gt; & quot;Queens are and have always been my favorite rock n roll band ever since I walked into Tower on Sunset and bought ‘Rated R’ in the summer of 2000, so it was incredibly surreal to be welcomed into their secret, pirate clan—or the ‘jacuzzi’ as Josh likes to call it. I also knew that my super fandom alone would not keep me in the jacuzzi. There were moments during the making of the album in which i was aware i was watching my musical heroes craft something that was sure to become one of my favorite moments on any Queens album. And to have some part in that felt like being in a dream–a very heavy, dark, wonderful dream. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Longtime Queens cohort co-producer Mark Rankin added, & lt;b & gt; & quot;After the baptism of fire that was …Like Clockwork, I was excited to get into the studio again with the challenge of pushing the sound for this record, especially with the the addition of Ronson into the creative mix. We wanted to evolve the production to be processed in a modern way yet be totally organic and still performed fully live, like lifting a veil and what you thought was electronic is actually live and things are not as they first appear… What we’ve made is forward looking yet unmistakably Queens. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The title Villains isn’t a political statement. It has nothing to do with Trump or any of that shit. It’s simply 1) a word that looks fantastic and 2) a comment on the three versions of every scenario: yours, mine and what actually happened… Everyone needs someone or something to rail against—their villain—same as it ever was. You can’t control that. The only thing you can really control is when you let go. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;—Joshua Homme & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Nearly 20 years in, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme still gets down like a black leather jacket zapped to life by Dr. Funkenstein himself. He called in a surprising assist for the SoCal rockers' seventh album, Top 40 genius Mark Ronson, who perks up zany Zeppelin grooves like 'Feet Don't Fail Me' and 'Head Like a Haunted House,' playing up the swing in their strut.

Belle & Sebastian How To Solve Our Human Problems 3 12" Vinyl EP Box Set

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Limited Edition Three 12 & quot; Vinyl EP Box Set! & lt;br & gt; Includes An Exclusive Poster! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The three EP box set contains all three parts of the Belle & amp; Sebastian trilogy titled How To Solve Our Human Problems. Parts 1-3 contain 5 tracks each and are all gathered here as a Limited Edition Box Set containing a Poster, and 80 photographs of fans from around the world. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A new Belle and Sebastian release is always something to cheer. So three new releases leads to the inevitable conclusion: three cheers! Here is the latest installment in a career that has always pursued a singular and delightful vision of what pop represents and what it can achieve, a career that has seen them triumph against the odds to win a Brit award, be one of the first bands to curate their own festival, and play at the official London residence of the US ambassador (the last president’s ambassador, not the current one’s). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Murdoch, as ever, is not the only writer. Sarah Martin (violin/vocals) brought in the delicious ‘The Same Star’, which marries Belle and Sebastian’s melodiousness to a pounding Motown backbeat, and was produced by Leo Abrahams (Ghostpoet, Wild Beasts, Regina Spektor). “We’d met Leo in February of 2016, and I’d say that meeting and the recording of ‘I’ll Be Your Pilot’ were the first tangible steps of this EP project,” Martin says. “We didn’t have a stack of songs to play him, but we liked him and he became a part of the plan from that point - and when I’d got to a point with ‘The Same Star’ where it just needed to be recorded, I thought it could benefit from having a producer to steer things, and fortunately we had a slot in the diary marked ‘Leo’ coming up. It’s not a song we’d laboured over playing for months - it fell together quite quickly thanks in large part to Bob’s [Bobby Kildea, guitarist] enthusiasm and Stuart’s willingness to dismember an old song and repurpose the break, so that it wasn’t just the same three chords over and over and over.” & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; There’s one big reason why 15 songs are coming out on three EPs, rather than one album. & quot;We’d made a couple of LPs, Tigermilk and If You’re Feeling Sinister, within the space of six months, & quot; Murdoch says, remembering the early days of the band’s career, and how that fed into their decision-making this time. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Harkening back to their 1997 release of three consecutive EPs (‘Dog On Wheels’, ‘Lazy Line Painter Jane’, and ‘3.. 6.. 9 Seconds Of Light’), Belle and Sebastian now release three new EPs under the umbrella title ‘How To Solve Our Human Problems’. The EP trilogy culminate with a limited vinyl box set containing all three EPs, with the option of a box just for EP3 for those who have already purchased 1 and 2. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Belle and Sebastian's song titled “I’ll Be Your Pilot” can be found on EP2. The single takes as its subject Stuart Murdoch’s young son: “Having your first kid is a huge event, so I wrapped a lot of things I felt about Denny into the song. Being a dad made me feel a little like the pilot in The Little Prince, hence all the references to the Sahara!” & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Just as those three early EPs are a crucial part of the Belle and Sebastian canon, these three new releases aren’t merely a detour between albums, but as definitive releases in their own right. ‘How To Solve Our Human Problems’ is both an era of its own, and part of a long, rich history. ‘How To Solve Our Human Problems’ is, if you like, Belle and Sebastian Redux. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; When Belle and Sebastian felt new music percolating, they decided to break from the working methods of the recent years and instead stay at home, record the tracks as and when, often producing themselves, working with friends and collaborators to see what emerged. Working in Glasgow gave them the freedom to work without the constraints that making an album can impose: they could take their time honing and experimenting. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; One thing that has defined Belle and Sebastian has been their relationship with fans, and that’s apparent in the new EPs. For the three sleeves, the group issued a call to fans to come to be photographed by Murdoch at a studio in Belsize Park in North London. Fifty were selected, and all those photographed were also recorded answering the question: “How do you solve your human problems?” & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Limited Edition Box Set & lt;br & gt; • Three 12 & quot; Vinyl EPs & lt;br & gt; • Poster & lt;br & gt; • 80 photographs of fans & lt;br & gt; • Made in EU & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; EP - Part One: & lt;br & gt; That Side: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile Lotta Sea Lice LP (Vinyl)

& lt;a href=javascript:; & quot; onclick= & quot;document.location.hash='SS'; & quot; & gt; & lt;img src= & quot;/content/images/playbutton.gif & quot; hspace= & quot;10 & quot; align= & quot;left & quot; border= & quot;0 & quot; & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;0000FF & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Click Here for Video Sample! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Indie Rock Superduo On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; One Of Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2017! & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; Known for her witty, rambling lyrics and deadpan singing style, Australian singer/songwriter Courtney Barnett released her full-length debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, in March 2015 to widespread critical acclaim. She was nominated for Best New Artist at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards and for International Female Solo Artist at the 2016 Brit Awards. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Kurt Vile is known for his solo work and as the former lead guitarist of rock band The War on Drugs. Influenced by Pavement, Neil Young, Tom Petty, and John Fahey, Vile began his musical career creating lo-fi home recordings with frequent collaborator Adam Granduciel in Philadelphia. In 2015, Vile released his sixth studio album, b'lieve I'm goin down..., which landed on many of the Best Albums of 2015 lists. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Lotta Sea Lice is the result of 8 days in the studio spread over almost 15 months when Courtney and Kurt's respective touring schedules allowed for them to be in the same place at the same time. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; KURT VILE: We ran into each other on the road in various continents and talked about the recordings. I guess it wasn't till i had another tour booked for the following summer in Australia that we thought we should record as much as we can, no major goal to make it a full length but it came together that way because the vibe was so strong. I love working with Courtney, the collaboration was laid back with less pressure. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; COURTNEY BARNETT: Now we finished the album, we dreamt up an amazing band which we've called THE SEA LICE (inspired by a Stella Mozgawa beach-side-story) and me n Kurt will be standing there out front with our guitars singing songs together. Songs from this album we did, a handful of our own songs from previous albums, maybe some old folk songs n what not. Harmonies and guitarmonies galore. Very collaborative. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Lotta Sea Lice, Barnett and Vile's first collaborative album together, makes for a remarkably sublime pairing that brings out the best in each artist, an unexpected gem that sits near the top of either's discography. The way Barnett and Vile lock into grooves, trading barbs and asides in deadpan tones, and dueling with seemingly effortless yet entrancing guitar riffs makes for a delightful endeavor that plays to both artists' strengths... The album sees Barnett and Vile pushing each other to new heights, challenging one another. They sound locked in yet relaxed, and in between tracks, they'll play studio laughter or the sound of a phone going off as if the songs are the result of jam sessions recorded in a couple of takes. Barnett and Vile's chemistry together is undeniable, and not only does Lotta Sea Lice sound as fun to listen to as it must have been to make, but it stands as one of the best collaborative rock albums in recent years. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - David Sackllah, Consequence Of Sound & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;A match made in indie-rock heaven. Vile is a sly lyricist with a stoner's demeanor who's always made his most articulate statements with his guitar. Barnett is a sly melodist, and so adept a wordsmith you can imagine any randomly-ripped-out page from her diary would make an engaging song. Together they craft a sublimely chilled-out set that shines with tossed-off bedhead dazzle, whether rambling about fabric softener, their daily routines, or – on the standout 'Continental Breakfast' – the flickering disconnect of maintaining relationships while schlepping around the world playing music. It's also sweetly romantic, never more so than on the giddy 'Blue Cheese' when the duo harmonize the line 'so kiss me with your mouth, girl of my dreams!' & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Rolling Stone 50 Best Albums of 2017 - Rated 15/50! & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile make a perfect pair of loners, like two high-school outcasts who meet on the first day of college and become inseparable. The paradoxical idea of solitary collaboration couldn't be better suited to this duo, whose new joint album, Lotta Sea Lice, takes the signature style of each and absorbs it into a private, speak-sing conversation full of casual wit and a shared indifference to the pace of the modern world. On their own albums as solo artists, Vile and Barnett have made hard rock look easy, with an endearingly slanted perspective on trying to keep one's feet on the ground while everything around them is cracking up. Put together, they're like a call-and-response song channeled through a single voice. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Matthew Oshinsky, Paste Magazine & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/3KNsBCf34fQ & 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; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; • Deluxe split cover gatefold packaging (opens from the middle like shutter doors!) & lt;br & gt; • Insert with beautiful studio photos and lyrics & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Julien Baker Turn Out the Lights LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Vinyl LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Julien Baker's solo debut, Sprained Ankle, was one of the most widely hailed works of 2015. The album, recorded by an 18-yearold and her friend in only a few days, was a bleak yet hopeful, intimate document of staggering experiences and grace, centered entirely around Baker's voice, guitar, and unblinking honesty. The album appeared on year-end lists everywhere from NPR Music to New York Magazine's Vulture. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; With Turn Out the Lights, Baker returns to a much bigger stage, but with the same core of breathtaking vulnerability and resilience. From its opening moments - when her chiming, evocative melody is accompanied by swells of strings - Turn Out the Lights throws open the doors to the world without sacrificing the intimacy that has become a hallmark of her songs. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album was recorded at the legendary Ardent Studios in her hometown of Memphis, TN, and mixed by Craig Silvey (The National, Arcade Fire). This evolution from ‘Sprained Ankle’s intentionally spare production allows Baker — who is still the album’s sole producer and writer — greater scope and freedom. Strings and woodwinds now shade the corners of her compositions, and Baker takes to piano rather than guitar on several tracks, pushing the 21-year-old Baker’s work to cinematic heights of intensity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; • Limited time digital download & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Matador Records reissues the album on vinyl. Re-mastered by Emily Lazar at The Lodge, the album is set for a remembrance worthy of its greatness. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Originally released in 1993, Exile In Guyville is a seminal album and a feminist landmark. Its legendary status has only grown over the years. It's continually included in countless lists... Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest albums of all time + 100 best albums of the '90s, Pitchfork's Top 100 albums of the '90s, etc. Numerous essays and think pieces have been written about it and the number of accolades piled on is endless. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Exile is just one perfect song after another & quot; & lt;/b & gt; — Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Double LP & lt;br & gt; • Remastered by Emily Lazar at The Lodge & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1. 6'1 & quot; & lt;br & gt; 2.

Cat Power Jukebox LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Cat Power covers such greats as Joni Mitchell, James Brown, Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra and more! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Chan Marshall stops time. She sits at a piano or lays her guitar across her lap, and whether it’s a noisy club overflowing with drunks or a coffee house full of laptoppers, Chan Marshall draws all the attention in the room and makes the world stop spinning. As Cat Power, Marshall’s music seems to rise from nowhere, envelop the room, then vanish; listeners know they’ve been hit by something but they’re not sure what. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Chan Marshall's second album of cover songs includes works by Joni Mitchell, James Brown, the Highwaymen, Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra along with two originals. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The collection of songs on Jukebox includes songs such as Hank Williams' & quot;Ramblin' (Wo)Man & quot; and Bob Dylan's & quot;I Believe In You & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...for the most part (Marshall) remains understated, her smoky timbre fogging up windows... Warm sonics allow Marshall's faint, reverb-accented voice to glow and the loose instrumentation to hover before settling. Slow and longing, this is music made for solitary late-night cries on the couch. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- Bob Gendron, & lt;i & gt;The Absolute Sound & lt;/i & gt;, March 2008 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; • Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; • Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; • Reissued as single disc LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;br & gt; & lt;/b & gt; 1.
