About this product

Moving Backgrounds is Castor's complete body of work, pressed on vinyl for the first time ever.Castor arrived in 1994 just as fellow Champaign-Urbana, IL, bands Hum and Braid broke through and rose to prominence. While Hum and Braid redefined their respective genres, Castor took an experimental approach to slow-core indie on their self-titled debut and eventually landed on post-shoegaze rock with the sophomore album Tracking Sounds Alone. Castor earned touring slots with The Promise Ring, Braid, Dianogah, Hum, and Shiner. Eventually collapsing under the pressure of life and work, Castor played it's last show in January 1998.Twenty years later the band reunited and performed with their old pals Hum, and quickly realized Castor needed a vinyl treatment. Six years later, (between television and film scoring gigs), singer/guitarist Jeff Garber finished a reimagined remix of 1997's Tracking Sounds Alone and a pristine remaster of 1995's Castor, culminating in 2025's Moving Backgrounds, a 2xLP set featuring both Castor full-length albums and five bonus tracks.Moving Backgrounds is being released via Earth Analog Records, with exclusive distribution from Polyvinyl Record Co. The features new artwork from longtime collaborator Andy Mueller, colored 180-gram vinyl, original artwork jackets, pullout color inserts with liner notes from the band, Braid's Bob Nanna, Shiner's Allen Epley, and Honcho Overload/Parasol Mail Order guru Bill Johnson a fitting package for a group that rubbed shoulders with some of the late-90's most influential bands. Album Tracks 1. Anecdotes 2. Pontiac 3. Grind in Motion 4. Ceremal Frame 5. Dust Gun 6. Trans 7. The Package 8. Baroque 9. Silent Type (Bonus Track) 10. Repousse (Bonus Track) 11.

E-L-R - Maenad (Orange)   - VINYL LP

On their debut full-length InchMaenadInch, Swiss post doomers E-L-R offer a new perspective on panoramic musical vistas. Bassist I.R. and guitarist S.M., both of whom are singing, and drummer M.K. concoct an atmospheric, heavy and heady brew that sounds familiar and fresh at once. Deeply rooted in their environment as individuals, E-L-R share a shamanist quality and acute spiritual awareness with Our Survival Depends On Us from Austria or Finnish folkists Hexvessel. According to I.R., their Inchmusic is very visceral. We want the listener to delve into our sphere and become entranced in order to feel our energy. It developed in close collaboration during long nights that we also used to write down stories of our own. In this way, we were able to define and carry through our vision.Inch With it's title originating from the name of Greek god Dionysus' female followers, who are associated with nature and excessive feasting respectively, InchMaenadInch follows the group's celebrated 2018 demo InchIn Splendour & SedationInch. The album tells a tale in different stages wherein emotions are constantly shifting like landscapes in passing. InchIt's mainly our own interpretation of texts and poems, combined with things we lived through ourselves,Inch explains S.M.., Inchoften describing sceneries and events or feelings.Inch Summing up their sound, she speaks of Inchhypnotic rhythms suspended in a haze of eternal reverberation.Inch Given E-L-R's sense of community, it is no wonder they are eager to interact with like-minded artists such as Dool mastermind Ryanne van Dorst, who guests as a singer during 'Lunar Nights', or Colin H van Eeckhout from the group's erstwhile touring partners Amenra, who lends his voice to 'Above The Mountains There Is Light' and plays hurdy-gurdy in the intro to 'Glancing Limbs'. Album Tracks 1. Glancing Limbs 2. Devotee 3. Above the Mountain

Farsot - Iiii - Orange   - VINYL LP

A great moment in the history of avant-garde Black Metal With a single demo entitled Inch042103FreitodInch, Farsot fathomed the boundaries of raw and cold Black Metal in 2004, and with their debut album InchIIIIInch, released in autumn 2007 via Lupus Lounge, they will enrich the genre with their very own crushing visions of the dark depths of the human psyche.
