NEW SHABAZZ PALACES DROPS THIS FRIDAY WITH ROBED IN DARKNESS!!!

Loser Edition on Ruby Vinyl. On March 29, 2024, Shabazz Palaces’ two new mini-albums, Robed in Rareness and Exotic Birds of Prey, come out on CD and LP. Shabazz Palaces is masterminded by Ishmael Butler (Digable Planets), whose relentless drive to reimagine hip-hop – even as he enjoys his fifth decade on Earth – remains undiminished. When Robed in Rareness hit digital platforms in 2023, NPR Music called it “enchanting and subversive, ” while Pitchfork observed that “the futurism of Shabazz Palaces has always been interwoven with the past and present, their songs scintillating tapestries of old-school shit talk, proggy psychedelia, and melodic flossing. Robed in Rareness is draped in this multiplicity as Butler and a team of close collaborators swagger across eras of rap.”

NEW YOT CLUB ARRIVES WITH YOT CLUB’S RUFUS

Ryan Kaiser has already made a name for himself creating daydreamy, sun-blasted, Polaroid-pop as Yot Club. With his second full-length, Rufus, Kaiser is expanding his sonic palette and challenging his own established modes of music making by letting collaborators in. The record includes co-writes with the likes of Tommy English (Carly Rae Jepsen, Kacey Musgraves), and singer Charli Adams, with Patrick Wimberly (formerly one-half of Chairlift) on mixing duties, and the result is a collection of songs that sounds bolder and brighter. From the shimmering surf-pop of opener “Stuntman,” to the minor chord angst and quiet-loud-quiet pulse of “New Day,” to The Strokesian swoon of album closer “Lazy Eyes,” Kaiser lo-fi hooks have a new cinematic scope. It continues Kaiser’s coming of age – looking back, picking it all apart, trying to work it all out, and constantly pushing forward.

LEGENDARY AUSTIN TX PUNK ROYALTY THE BIG BOYS GET A NEW VINYL RELEASE OF THEIR FINAL ALBUM “NO MATTER HOW LONG THE LINE IS AT THE CAFETERIA, THERE’S ALWAYS A SEAT!”

The final album originally released in 1985 from Austin, TX, punk icons, Big Boys, now available on limited edition 180 gram purple vinyl. The Big Boys got their start in the late 1970’s Austin punk scene. The band was fronted by the occasionally cross-dressing Randy “Biscuit” Turner, with Tim Kerr on guitar, Chris Gates playing bass, and a series of drummers – the best known of which is Rey Washam (Scratch Acid). Unlike the rest of the early hardcore scene of the day, they weren’t afraid to stray away from superfast tempos in favor of some nice white boy skate funk. Beyond the funk tendencies, the band at times played an early brand of post-punk not unlike their contemporaries The Minutemen. Thanks to their inclusion on some of Thrasher magazine’s first “skate comps,” the Big Boys were hugely popular amongst the new 80’s skate punk crowd. They were also known for the encouragement of crowd participation, breaking down the barriers between performer and audience. They even covered Kool & the Gang, never wavering when venturing into uncharted musical territory. Now y’all, go start your own band

JAMMIN’ SAM MILLER DELIVERS AN EPIC RECREATION / RESTORATION OF THE SUPER METROID SOUNDTRACK!!!

Double vinyl LP pressing. Full HD re-creation/restoration of the legendary soundtrack for 1994 Exploration / Action-Adventure / Sci-Fi / Alien video game Super Metroid by Louisiana-based composer and producer Jammin’ Sam Miller. Jammin’ Sam Miller explains: “Composed by Kenji Yamamoto. Recreated by me. This was made possible by locating the original instrument samples from workstation keyboards and drum machines before they were put into the game and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience.”

JAPANESE DEATH METAL TITANS COFFINS DELIVER THEIR NEXT MUST-HAVE “SINISTER OATH”, A MUST-HAVE FOR FANS OF OLD SCHOOL DEATH MEATL!

Japan’s Coffins return with their crushing new full-length album, Sinister Oath. Recorded ahead of the band’s 25th anniversary in Tokyo, Sinister Oath further cements Coffins’ legacy as one of the most putrid sounding and uncompromising Old School Death Metal bands in the world. – From the chest-pounding, drudgy opening of “Spontaneous Rot” to the hammer-crushing riffage of “Things Infestation” thereafter, Sinister Oath creeps and crawls through a cavernous space firmly rooted in no-frills Death Metal. The band’s signature sound is forever-present: equal parts bleak, doomy, crusty, disgusting, and wholly heavy. – Featuring album art by Axel Hermann (Asphyx, Bloodbath, Demolition Hammer, Sodom, and more,) Sinister Oath is Coffins at their most vile!

MAJESTY CRUSH DELIVERS A SLICE OF SHOEGAZE WITH “BUTTERFLIES DON’T GO AWAY” 🔥

Driven by lust-fueled limerence and drifting far from conformity, Butterflies Don’t Go Away captures Majesty Crush’s transient, yet subversive mark on the landscape of American shoegaze to come.

CRUST PUNK LEGENDS NAUSEA GET THEIR TWO CLASSIC EPS PRESSED ON ONE SLAB OF DOPE MUST-HAVE VINYL!!!

Svart Records release NYC crust punk band Nausea’s two legendary EP’s on one remastered 12″ in March 2024! Crust punk originates from the misty moors and factory cities of the UK. Since the ’80s, countless bands have been established to play their dirty apocalyptic ruckus in the vein of Amebix, Antisect, and Axegrinder. At the same time, across the ocean, in the squats of New York’s Lower East Side, bassist John John Jesse founded Nausea. Svart Records is releasing Nausea’s two legendary EPs in 12″ format for the first time ever, including the Cybergod 7″ from 1991 – with a bonus track, “Here Today,” from the same recording sessions – and the Lie Cycle 7″ from 1992. All tracks are remastered from the original, untouched studio tapes by Jack Control (Darkthrone, Kohti Tuhoa, Fear). Tribal and rocking apocalyptic crust for apocalyptic times. The Cybergod lineup might be the most legendary era of Nausea, where the tracks reach almost epic proportions. The EP is pretty much the blueprint of crust, where Vic Venom’s hypnotic and rocking guitar riffs meet the tribal drumming of Roy Mayorga. Al Hoon’s and Amy Miret’s dueling vocals spit out timeless issues dealing with consumerism and the hypocrisies of organized religions. Musically, the Lie Cycle EP rocks out more in the faster and straightforward style, where Discharge meets Motörhead, and lyrics reflect the times when war and nuclear destruction are still the plague of mankind. Nausea’s timeline lasted only seven years, but they managed to create a cult following with their true dedication to the punk scene and played shows in the squats of Europe and the eastern part of Europe. Their music is timeless, unpleasant music for unpleasant times, but hey! At least it’s more fun to rock out to the apocalypse!
