COVID UPDATE MARCH 24TH 2020 Due to the current pandemic sweeping across the planet i am having to scale back my trips to the post office (see above) as I have vulnerable family members in the house and cannot afford to take any uneccesary risks obviously. Also, in light of the closure of non essential shops (record shops being amongst them) i'm wondering if putting back the releases dates of the forthcoming OOCD and AMT releases might also be a good idea?. I will let you know if that's the case of course. The most important thing right now is to look after yourselves and your loved ones. So take care and if you're self isolating, crank up the volume! Andy/RS PERHAPS '7.0' OUT NOW
STREAM THE FULL ALBUM VIA THE BANDCAMP SITE Boston's PERHAPS return with their seventh album '7.0' on March 27th via Riot Season. Once again it's a spaced out psychedelic wonder, but at the same time pretty hard to define genre wise. But if you enjoyed 'V' and 'Hexagon' be prepared to be enthralled once again. Limited edition pressing of 300 copies all on white vinyl in a reverse board printed outer sleeve. This album features guest appearances from our old friends Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple / Mainliner), Chang Chang (Hibushibire) and Isaiah Mitchell (Earthless) " ... My stint with the cosmic beings through the telekinetic transmission had lead to one conclusion; that Perhaps have been in the works on something new. It seems as if they may have landed on the result which Haney had mentioned years ago. Through my continued interest I’ve procured the names of other members of this current project, which include: Sean Mcdermott, Tom Weeks, Ricky Petraglia, David Khoshtinat, Ben Talmi, Makoto Kawabata, Lucas Brode, Isaiah Mitchell, Olivia Kieffer, Tyler Skoglund, ChangChang. Though I can’t say exactly what is to come, it seems as if the ideas that were proposed during my initial meet may have been surpassed. Perhaps’ plans have begun to surface, and we are all at risk, for whatever that means. The great column and the vibrational prismic beings have shifted their attention to earthly matters, it would be foolhardy to not heed their warning. Though, self-preservation may be an impossibility" ORDER NOW VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE MELTING PARAISO U.F.O. FEATURING GEOFF LEIGH 'CHOSEN STAR CHILD'S CONFESSION' LP/CD COMING APRIL 24TH
CHECK OUT THE FIRST TRACK NOW VIA THE BANDCAMP SITE Rejoice! the new Acid Mothers Temple studio album is imminent!
The career of Acid Mothers Temple has
been an interesting and varied one. With well over 200 releases to
their name since 1996, the band have certainly put in the hard
yards. Recent times have seen a resurgence in their underground cult
popularity.
Between Autumn 2014 and December 2015,
core AMT members Tsuyama Atsushi (bassist / vocalist) and Shimura
Koji (drums) left the band. Original members Makoto Kawabata &
Hiroshi Higashi took this as their chance to create a new line-up
and that this was a good chance to refresh the band with new
members.
The last Acid Mothers Temple album
released by Riot Season was 'Reverse Of Rebirth in Universe' in 2018
which was incredibly well received, and is now into it's fourth
vinyl pressing. For that album the newly settled line up featuring
new boys Wolf (bass), Satoshima Nani (drums) and Jyonson Tsu
(vocals) re-recorded old AMT classics and a few new jams. The album
and subsequent world tour were incredibly well received, not only by
long time AMT diehards but also a whole new crowd who were
discovering the band for the first time, either via the album of the
show, which included the bands first appearance at Glastonbury
Festival in summer 2019.
Now we finally get to 'Chosen Star
Child's Confession', the latest studio album from the band which
should be considered the genuine 'first album' of this new line-up
with the added presence of Geoff Leigh (ex Henry Cow)
Now available for pre-order in three formats. Limited orange vinyl LP (500 copies), CD (500 copies) in card digifile sleeve with bonus track and a mail order only exclusive pink vinyl LP (240 copies) both vinyl editions come with download code that also includes the CD only bonus track of course

as far in, and out, as possible. This is music as speech, as
collaboration, as friends coming together across an ocean to express
themselves as one, presented here for everyone else to hear and

STREAM THE FULL ALBUM VIA THE BANDCAMP SITE Due to a printing error with the album sleeves, the release date has been put back slightly. I'm still hoping to get the finished stock here start of next week (February 10th) and all mail order copies will be sent out then.

Formed from the ashes of Drunk In Hell
and Blown Out, OZO are a blazing improvised alto sax free jazz rock
trio made up from Graham Thompson (Ballpeen), Karl D Silva (Drunk In
Hell) and Mike Vest. (Drunk In Hell, BONG, 11Paranoias, Melting
Hand)
For fans of Pharaoh Sanders, John and
Alice Coltrane. Improvised and experimental alto sax workouts, lead
drums, fluid thunder bass and freak out guitar melodies. OZO Saturn
is 5 tracks of black impulse meets harmonic stooges.
MIKE VEST TALKING ABOUT OZO
“I’ve been waiting to start a band
with Graham Thompson and Karl D Silva. Karl used to play Sax in the
Drunks (Drunk In Hell) and Graham is amazing drummer who plays in
lots of bands. He can play everything and is really great at
production and mixing. Couple of bands fell apart or just became
unproductive, so I moved on, like I did. Graham’s drum track were
so good and alive that I came up with the idea to have him leading
the tracks. Added bass line and asked Karl to blast through in one
take. The results came back and it sounded awesome. So here we
are.”

STREAM THE FULL ALBUM VIA THE BANDCAMP SITE
Delighted to announce a new album by our
Swedish friends Kungens Man is at the pressing plant, and due for
release on November 29th.
The album will be available in two
variants, at the same price. There's a black vinyl edition in a
black and pink sleeve, and a pink vinyl edition in a pink and black
sleeve. Both come with a printed inner sleeve and download code.
Both are limited to exactly the same amount.
Nine months after their acclaimed album
'Chef' (also released on Riot Season) the band return with 'Hårt
Som Ben’, a stunning follow up with a debut UK tour to coincide.
Echoes And Dust on ‘Chef’: “From
pure psychedelic freak out, to exploratory ramblings, and all imbued
with a sense of communal priority to create together a work of
immense intelligence, Chef is an album which begs for continued
listens and deep immersion. That it is so accessible too, makes that
genius shine through even more so. Superb.”
At the end of May 2019 Kungens Män
packed a couple of cars full of instruments and life supporting
essentials and drove into the woods of Värmland to spend three days
in the legendary Silence Studio. It has hosted recordings by bands
and musicians like Bo Hansson, Motorpsycho, The Hellacopters, Bob
Hund and Union Carbide Productions, the presence felt and seen all
over the place.
In between watching VHS tapes with Twin
Peaks, Miles Davis and Roskilde Festival 92, cooking pasta, sleeping
in bunk beds, Bruce Bannering shirts and chilling in the sun,
Kungens Män managed to record about 13 hours of music. Some of it
will never reach your ears, but here’s the first slab made public
– Hårt som ben – Hard As Bone. Not very hard, that is.
Kungens Män are :
Mikael Tuominen – guitar & bass
Hans Hjelm – guitar
Gustav Nygren – guitar
Magnus Öhrn – bass
Peter Erikson – synthesizer
Mattias Indy Pettersson – drums &
percussion

years and forty releases into their career, Shit And Shine return to 'Doing Drugs, Selling Drugs' is nasty.

Delighted to announce the debut release
by South American band La Grande Armée will be coming out on RS in
October. Limited edition 300 only white vinyl LP.
La Grande Armée is an instrumental band
that mixes psychedelic stoner and progressive rock inspired by blues
and instrumental rock & roll of the 70's, born in November 2017
in the commune of San Pedro de la Paz, VIII region, Republic of
Chile. I came across these guys purely by accident earlier this year
when their digital EP appeared on a post in a Facebook group i
follow. I liked it that much I got in touch with the band and
proposed a vinyl version for which they've remixed the EP and added
two extra new/live tracks to fill it out.

Way back in 2004, ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE
& THE MELTING PARAISO U.F.O. released the CD only album 'Minstrel
In The Galaxy' on Riot Season Records. The decision to make it CD only

in length. Fast forward fifteen years and new technologies and we have
the first ever vinyl release of this classic album, with a new edited

TARAS BULBA 'ONE' LP - OUT NOW
STREAM THE FULL ALBUM VIA THE BANDCAMP SITE Delighted to announce the debut album from TARAS BULBA, the new band formed out of the ashes of Earthling Society is coming out on RS next month ... Taras Bulba was formed in the winter of 2019 by Fred Laird and Jon Blacow. Taking a new direction from their last musical outfit Earthling Society, the duo embarked on an inner space mission for new age ideas, rhythmic mantras, ambient landscapes and creative micro dosing.
Recorded between September 2018 to May
2019 on home recording equipment in different houses and any empty
space large enough for a drum kit. A laptop dying with over worked
CPU and amps so broken that the only alternative was to record
straight into the desk. Working to a true DIY ethic like some
paranoid Philip K.Dick character with a tin foil antenna; piecing
together tracks created out of the ether like satellite messages
from some imaginary planet.
Taras Bulba – 1 is a pot-pouri of
Eastern/ Asian sounds, Krautrock Rhythms, ambient landscapes,
psychedelic blues and Orb inspired dub. Taking influences from
Midori Takada, Tony Scott, CAN, Neu!, 6 organs of Admittance, The
Orb and the soundtracks of David Lynch and Angelo Badalemnti.
Fred Laird – vox, electric, acoustic
and bass guitar, bouzouki, Alesis Micron, recorder, Tibetan bells,
Buddha box, harmonizer, drum programming, kalimba, hammer and
bolster, field recordings.
Jon Blacow – drums, gongs, darbuka, LP
congas, electronic tablas, Shamisen, ektara, electronic rhythms.
