Gloria Barnes — Uptown

Insanely raw soul from 1971! Extremely rare and being reissued for the first time here. Gloria Barnes teams up with The Ohio Players and Lee Moses to create her only LP, Uptown, that would become highly desirable in the deep soul/funk market and is just now seeing the light of day again in 2017. This is one of those records that all you have to do is drop the needle and you know it’s for real.

 

Low Lumens — The Distant, Everyday

The Distant, Everyday is the first full-length album by Low Lumens, the recording alias of visual artist and musician Danny Bracken.

The sound of ringing church bells mix with swelling synthesizers in the expansive opening track, “Santa Clara.” In many ways, the meditative song sets the tone for the ten track album, a record that is simultaneously complex and spacious. There is an undeniable sense of upbeat repetition, something reminiscent of dance or electronic music. Yet, with bits of voice and acoustic instruments, the compositions retain a sense of humanness. Throughout, a subtle tension weaves: there’s a crackle in the woodwinds, slight feedback in a synthesizer, and a confused auto-tuned brass ensemble lying just below the polished surface.

Available now from Burnt Toast Vinyl.

 

Robert Crotty with Me: Loren’s Collection (1979-1987)

Large_fv96_cover

In the years 1978 to 1981, Robert Crotty would show up on Loren Connors’ doorstep in New Haven, Connecticut with his tiny, almost toy guitar. The two would then spend hours playing acoustic blues, the likes of which was absolutely staggering in its truthfulness.

Robert Crotty with Me: Loren’s Collection (1979-1987) is the first anthology of the late bluesman’s work, as selected by his former playing partner. These are the unheard tapes of Crotty and Connors communing with the spirits of Delta and County Blues through their own revisions of standards and tingle-inducing improvisations. These also some of the legendary Connors’ earliest available recordings showing the development of iconoclast guitar style and vocal moan.

Crotty was a New Haven lifer and linchpin of the region’s blues scene yet, he never achieved much recognition outside local bars and house parties — until now. The album features never before heard recordings, unseen photos, liner notes by Connors and Crotty’s brother plus a bonus CD: the first-time reissue of Crotty’s ultra rare sole LP Robert Crotty Blues and Prove It! 7-inch — both released on Connors’ private St. Joan imprint in the late 1980s.

LP limited to 500 copies worldwide, includes a full-color inner sleeve and download coupon. Preorder now.

 

Transference — Marmoset Music

Transference unearths and re-examines a diverse collection of honored, distinguished musical artifacts, each from the public domain — blowing the proverbial dust off of them and transferring the life, feelings, and ideas into something completely different.

Marmoset’s team of producers collaborated with a diverse swath of artists from our community — including The Helio Sequence, Ural Thomas and the Pain, Dear Nora, Bouquet and more — to take the timeless design of classic public domain songs and reimagine them into something new, whether it be intimate folk, electropop, or soul revival and funk (just to name a few).

Available December 1 — stay tuned to marmosetmusic.com.

 

TRØN & DVD — Afraid Of The Dark

Available from Kiam Records – Limited to 300 copies. First 100 sold are red, the rest black.

TRØN & DVD (brothers Norvin and Darian Van Dunk) have been making mixtapes, EPs, and solo albums since 2009.  They’ve played the Bamboozle,Vans Warped Tour and CMJ Music Festivals as well as numerous shows alongside a diverse assortment of hip-hop and rock acts – from Pusha T to K. Flay to Twenty One Pilots.

Afraid of the Dark is an ambitious and furiously creative coming of age story about two brothers.  And it’s a true story, one that keeps a keen focus on family life, the importance of being an individual, and the pursuit of a dream.  It explores the struggle to navigate and balance it all, seen through the specific lens of being young black men in America.

Musically, the album sets the average bounce meter in the area of 95 bpm, with heavy kick drums and gurgling, fuzzy synths pushed straight into the foreground.  Lyrically, hints of formation, revitalization, and new life bubble up through every verse. The duo’s focus is often somewhere in the distance, with a hard look at the challenges in front of them; other times it drifts to the pull of old habits as well the minutiae of everyday challenges such as how to keep your writing light on without waking the baby.  This attention to detail is an important part of what makes Afraid of the Dark so compelling.  It’s one of the rare albums that reveal lyrical layers with every listen.

 

Sylmar – Transaturated Tunes

Soul Step Records are back in the LP game with label veterans Sylmar.  They first announced Sylmar to the world with their Cincinnati Brewers Series 7″. The reception was so strong and copies moved so quickly that once Sylmar went back into the studio to rework some older songs and write new ones, SSR wanted to release the LP.

Already out digitally, Sylmar continues to bring in new fans with their unique brand of complex indie rock.  This LP will move quickly, and the SSR limited edition will be 100 random color vinyl. Each one will be unique. Act fast and don’t be left behind!

 

The Dead Milkmen — Welcome To The End Of The World

Welcome to the End of the World delivers the Dead Milkmen’s trademark twisted humor along with some underlying dark elements that will creep in to your consciousness if you pay close enough attention. “You’re either going to buy it or not,” warns frontman Rodney Anonymous. “If you don’t buy it, don’t blame us when you get eaten by wolves, because this EP will be the only thing standing between you and the wolves.”

Anonymous, who wrote all of the tracks except the doom-laden “The Coast Is Not Clear,” which was penned by vocalist/guitarist Joe Jack Talcum, says the songs came to him in a series of terrible dreams. “I was having nightmares and getting up in the middle of the night and writing,” he says.

Preorder is up from The Giving Groove.

 

Image result for turnpike troubadours a long way from your heart

With their highly anticipated fourth album A Long Way from Your Heart, the Turnpike Troubadours sextet is poised for even bigger breakthroughs. Narratives put to music are nothing new, but Felker and his bandmates have upped the ante, creating a web of unforgettable characters that show up on album after album in songs that are both catchy and musically complex: men and women with their backs against their wall, represented realistically but also imbued with dignity. “It feels like going home to see that those characters are still alive in a way that movies and literary writers have always done,” frontman Evan Felker says of the recurring favorites. “It feels good. There they are, all based on people that I know and love. They’re composite characters based on real people.”

A Long Way from Your Heart was produced by Grammy winner Ryan Hewitt (The Avett Brothers, Flogging Molly, Red Hot Chili Peppers). The result is a rare triumph––an album that hooks immediately but then rewards listeners willing to dig deeper. “I love what we as a band have turned into and how we treat songs,” Felker says. “That’s something we’ve grown into––adding some sort of oddly theatrical element to the musicianship to help the story along, to sum up where or who the character is to give him a little bit of landscape. It’s not just an acoustic guitar and a guy telling you what somebody’s doing.”

Available for pre-order now on limited edition clear vinyl.

 

Mad Anthony – Mad Anthology Volume 1

The ferocious three pieces that make up Cincinnati’s volatile rock n’ roll unit, Mad Anthony, are driven and true. They have enough gumption to fill their big yellow van till it burst at the seams, and enough pride to carry themselves across North America to hundreds of shows year-in and year-out, grabbing headlining spots at North by Northeast, Midpoint Music Festival and Canadian Music Week, they’re road worn and quality tested. Dropping 70,000 units of their single ‘Bear Attack’ in Classic Rock Magazine across Europe, placing songs in the PBS distributed documentary Roller Derby Queens, and regular rotation on college radio airwaves in the towns they infect; Mad Anthony is the RustBelt Revivalists that the next generation of Rock n’ Roll needs.

Mad Anthology – Volume 1 is shipping soon.
