ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE COSMIC INFERNO 'PINK LADY LEMONADE ~ YOU'RE FROM OUTER SPACE' DOUBLE VINYL OUT IN JUNE
Up for pre order this coming Friday 6th May via the label webshop and bandcamp site Thrilled to finally be getting this one out as it's long been one of my favourite AMT albums, and it sounds absolutely stellar on vinyl. I first put this out way back in 2008, as CD only album and it's been out of print ever since. So here we are, many years later with it pressed on double vinyl exactly as it was intended. There are two variants … A clear lemonade coloured 2xLP set, which is an independent record shop exclusive edition, and a pink lady coloured 2xLP set which is (almost) a direct from label exclusive. I say almost, because the pink lady mail order copies all come with a foldover style OBI strip, whereas the few pink vinyl copies going to a select few shops/distros I deal with direct wont.
Both variants come housed in the same full colour gatefold sleeve with re-imagined artwork from the original CD issue and with extended music not on the CD version. It'll be followed up by two more AMT double vinyl releases (on vinyl for the first time) both of which are in various stages of manufacturing already ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE SHIT AND SHINE 'PHASE CORRECTED' PITCH BLACK VINYL LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Shit And Shine is back on home turf with Riot Season for another festering collection of filth and ooze. There will be two version of this LP, The Garrote are releasing it over in the US and i'm handling the UK/European release. The Riot Season edition is pressed on high quality (as always) pitch black vinyl, and comes with alternative cover artwork to the US version. The Riot version also comes with a double sided colour card insert, with a black polylined inner bag and download code.
In Craig's own words ... Raw Brutal Live sludge Recorded in Austin, Texas bedrooms and kitchens during shitty lockdown. It's fucking heavy!
GNOD R&D / WHIRLING HALL OF KNIVES 'GNOD/WHOK' VINYL 12" OUT NOW

ORCHESTRA OF CONSTANT DISTRESS 'CONCERNS' LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP The fourth full
length album of Orchestra of Constants Distress Concerns marks the
end of quadruple suite of intense, dissonant, reluctant
improvisation. Looking back on
five years of musical summits, which also has resulted in a couple
of cassette releases and a live LP from Roadburn festival, one might
wonder if these musicians has come to some form of insight. Riffs seems to
have deepened into complete compulsiveness as the rhythm from
drummer Anders Bryngelsson (Brainbombs, No Balls) deliver both
frustration and caution at the same time. Between the dissonant
sounds of Henrik Rylander (Union Carbide Produtions, Skull Defekts)
and the choleric play style by guitarist Joachim Nordwall (Idealist,
Skull Defekts) a way of emotional vacuity is spreading. With the
phlegmatic and elemental bass of Henrik Andersson (visual artist)
the music of OOCD is a montage of sound-scapes rather than the
uniform of compositions. Rather than
seeking a musical presence through improvisation they seems to
perform absence and void.

TARAS BULBA 'SOMETIMES THE NIGHT' LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP The third
release from Fred Laird was recorded during the period June 2020 and
January 2021 on 24trk home studio recording. It is also the first
album recorded purely as a solo artist with the occasional guest and
draws more from a roots style music (trad it isn’t) than previous
more psychedelic releases. ‘Inspiration
for the album came from listening to the self-recorded primal music
of Hasil Adkins and the first solo Link Wray album for Polydor. The
idea of these guys just doing what they wanted back of beyond seemed
more akin to me sat in a box room during lockdown feeding off a diet
of Billy Chong Kung Fu horror flicks, David Lynch, Noir crime
movies, Jean Cocteau and the works of Yukio Mishima. Musically the
sound draws form early Bad Seeds or Crime and the City Solution,
Gallon Drunk, Bohren and Der Club of Gore, The Cramps, Hasil Adkins
and various other trash inspired twilight creatures. I also wanted
to try and create that spooky organ sound that dominates the
midnight movie classic ‘Carnival Of Souls’, so there’s quite a
lot of organ and piano going on. I also got my hands on a baritone
guitar to give the songs more of a deep growly twang! Vocals are
provided by Daisy Atkinson for the Jean Cocteau dedication
‘Orphee’ which is the nearest thing to a pop song on the album
and the echoey almost Sister Lover’s sound of the title track. I
got sick of my own shit voice and I just thought a female voice
would give it a more fragile ethereal vibe. Mike Blatchford
provides formidable saxophone to the album’s last three tracks
which were recorded on his mobile phone 300 miles away and synched
into the music. The big blasted swing blues of ‘The Big Duvall’
is a dedication to Andy Duvall of Carlton Melton – a big guy who
needed a big song. Who knows how big the song could have been in a
proper studio. I could have dedicated it to John Wayne but Wayne
couldn’t chop down trees with his bare hands like Andy can….’

HIBUSHIBIRE 'OFFICIAL LIVE BOOTLEG VOL 6' LP
THIS RELEASE IS NOW COMPLETELY SOLD OUT. THERE WILL BE NO REPRESS. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Ultra limited transparent yellow vinyl bootleg style live LP. Recorded live in Nottingham in May 2019 on the bands last UK tour with the original three piece line up. A handy little live momento to pass the time until we get the bands third album proper. Due to it's limited nature, this release will only be available direct and via few selected shops/distros.
DOPE PURPLE 'GRATEFUL END' LP
THIS RELEASE IS NOW TOTALLY SOLD OUT. A REPRESS IS PLANNED AND WILL BE DONE AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN GIVEN ALL THE VINYL PRESSING DELAYS CRIPPLING US
Welcome from Taiwan DOPE PURPLE
This Friday, March 5th 2021 sees the
DOPE PURPLE 'Grateful End' LP go up for pre sale via the label
webshop and bandcamp site at 10am UK time.
The album is a co release between Riot
Season Records & WV Sorcerer Productions, with the latter
mainly handling the release over in the Far East countries. Both
editions are exactly the same, all pressed on transparent yellow
vinyl with a download code.
I'm expecting stock to arrive at RSHQ
early April so will aim to have it in shops/distros around April
23rd. Mail order copies will ship once they land here of course.
As this is a split label release, i'm
getting less to sell for my own needs than i normally would. I've
no idea what the interest will be in this one, but for me anyone
with a love of Acid Mothers, Hibushibire, Les Rallizes Denudes etc
should be all over it ... but i'm biased obviously. That said,
that's exactly what got me into them when i stumbled across a link
to this album last year.
Please note, this LP is a totally
remastered version of the original limited CD/Cassette release
from 2019.
USA/MEXICO 'DEL RIO' LP
After such a shithouse year, 2021 is already guaranteed to start with a wallop as we also welcome back our Texas buddies USA/MEXICO with their third, and most devastating album yet 'Del Rio'
‘Del Rio’ is the third album from
the Austin triumvirate of guitarist Craig Clouse (Shit and Shine),
bassist Nate Cross (Marriage, Expensive Shit) and drummer King
Coffey (Butthole Surfers) and the band’s first release to
feature vocals from Colby Brinkman (Taverner). While their
two prior albums (2017’s ‘Laredo’ and 2019’s ‘Matamoros’)
were somewhere on the periphery of rock music , ‘Del Rio’ is a
step or several beyond and a real testament to human
imagination (maybe you’re impressed by Tesla Powerwall
batteries but that’s because you’ve not heard “Soft Taco”,
yet)
Once again co released with 12XU records, Riot Season will be covering the UK & Europe release with 12XU taking care of North America. Both versions have been cut and manufactured separately and vinyl colour will differ. The Riot version is pressing on gold vinyl and is a one off pressing. ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP
