About this product
The debut album Cong! From Australia's Cong Josie traverses a hyperreal world of romance and contorted machismo. It is an electric place of sleaze, smoke and gyrating hips. Below the throbbing synth rhythms, early rock'n'roll kicks simmer.Cong Josie is the new project and alter ego of Nic Oogjes of Heat Beat ensemble NO ZU. The sound, soul, and voice of Cong manifests from deep within Nicolaas' psyche. Noir narratives are in constant friction with his personal confessions. It's a wild ride that is always mutating, merging influences like a half-remembered fever dream. Rockabilly leaning vocals muscle into EBM club settings, which in turn are washed rose-tinted by crooning balladry. All of this is perfect prey for post-punk rave-ups that lead ultimately to swamp-synth stomping and end of world revelry and back again. Somehow though, no matter where Cong! #struts, it's vision remains singular, it's world remains it's own and a feeling of ease pervades the lot. There is no doubt that Cong's wink-and-a-grin humour provides the perfect refreshment to swallow this one big x-rated pill. It invites the listener in and welcomes them to be a part of it all. Meanwhile, it is his distinctive Aussie twang and the bricolage of historical influences on show that firmly place the LP in the here (Australia), the now (2021) and maybe even... a hyperreal parallel universe.1.

Cong Josie - Moto Zone [VINYL LP] Black, Clear Vinyl, Smoke date 08/30/2024
Sun Ra And His Outer Space Arkestra ?- Celestial Love OrangeVinyl - The first reissue of a rare Sun Ra album from 1984, we have this on Martian orange vinyl. Freak out, space out, tune out.
Recorded in a barn-turned-studio in rural Ontario, the seven songs that make up Viet Cong were born largely on the road, when Flegel and bandmates Mike Wallace, Scott Munro and Daniel Christiansen embarked on a 50-date tour that stretched virtually every limit imaginable. Close quarters hastened their exhaustion but also honed them as a group. You can designate records as seasonal, and you can feel Viet Cong's bleakness and declare it wintry. But the only way you get a frost is when there's something warmer to freeze up.
