About this product
Being Dead came upon the scene in Austin, TX five years ago with their distinctly right-brain songcraft, mischievous humor, and implausibly great vocal harmonies. Even as they've graduated from curiosity to cult favorites, I've yet to encounter a single person who dislikes Being Dead. The garage-y psychedelic outsider pop band should be considered in the same category as rainbows and finding $60 in the pocket of a winter coat incontrovertibly lovable. When Horses Would Run, recorded at Radio Milk with producer/engineer Jim Vollentine (White Denim,... Trail of Dead, Spoon), spit-shines Being Dead's sound without diminishing their weirdo-best-friend vibes. Their penchant for idiosyncratic lyricism and musical unpredictability shines in InchLast Living Buffalo,Inch which finds Gumball and Falcon B*tch trading lines over a bouncy bop before skidding into a heavy doom breakdown. It stands in stark contrast to the gentle Laurel Canyon-style folk rock of InchDaydream,Inch showcasing Being Dead's extraordinary harmonies - at once plaintive, uplifting, and eerie. Their vocal interplay, however, can be just as good in contrast, like on InchMuriel's Big Day Off,Inch where Gumball's garage punk monotone delivery and Falcon B*tch's tuneful tenor volley back and forth in what sounds like the theme song for some Adult Swim cartoon. Being Dead is recommended if you like Devo, the Pixies, the Beets, Violent Femmes, or living your life like it's an ungraded art project.

![Noah Preminger Quartet - Dark Days - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/deb1b17e-a585-4864-88c8-3e0ac7816be1.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Dark Days reflects the eminent tenor saxophonist's overall state of mind in 2024. InchI was deep in hell, Inch he says, reflecting on a year when he experienced chronic health issues (since resolved) and a divorce. InchIt was a dark time.Inch Throughout the year, Preminger could count on an opportunity Inchto wash away the dust of everyday life, Inch as Art Blakey once put it, at his weekly Friday-Saturday engagement at Wally's Jazz Caf' in Boston, where he performed and developed the tunes that appear on this kinetic, conversational, virtuosically executed quartet recital. The album was recorded December 14, 2024 at the Samurai Hotel.

Being Dead's records are mosaics, technicolor incantations, each song it's own self-contained little universe. And while the dreamlike EELS probes further into the depths of the duo Being Dead's psyche, it is, most importantly, in the year of our lord 2024, a 16-track record that is genuinely unpredictable from one track to the next a joyous and unexpected trip helmed by two true-blue freak B*tch besties holed up in a lil' house in the heart of Austin, Texas.

Straight from the praries of Kortrijk, WHORSES have buckeld themselves firmly in the sadlle of the Belgian rock scene since they struck their fiorst note, somewhere back in 2017. These four cowboys found each other in a mutual quest for something new. As boundless as their music, WHORSES debuts with an 18-track double album, and although there might be some signs of schizophrenia showing, this true pièce de resistance breaths honesty and pure expression through every pore. WHORSES is a band of extremes, bringing out the roughest and softest in themselves and in everyone who dares to dive into that pool of blunt, deep cutting, ever evolving and limitless sounds.
