Gladie - Safe Sins (Color Vinyl) - VINYL LP

Tim Kinsella and Jenny Pulse have spent years making thoughtful and unpredictable art, whether musically as Joan of Arc or Spa Moans, or under their given names as writers and visual artists. On Giddy Skelter, their debut album as the unadorned InchTim Kinsella and Jenny Pulse,Inch they once again take an unexpected turn, but aim for something more direct. They've crafted a swirling, past-future, future-past, sorta-rock, collage-rock, melange borne from the confined anxiety of the pandemic. It's a full-length undeniably of it's moment, rich with musical references while radiating a visionary path forward.To assemble Giddy Skelter, Kinsella and Pulse aggressively culled their tracklist until they had a lean and impactful 11 songs, unlike anything either musician has released before. Opening track InchUnblock ObstaclesInch chugs along on a three-chord riff and dubbed-out drums before venturing into a hypnotic, feedback-filled drone that channels pre-Loveless My Bloody Valentine. InchOver and OverInch imagines a world where Slowdive or rich collaborated with Prefuse 73. On InchNena,Inch one minute features loops of classical piano, the next Spacemen 3-style psychedelic drone, and the next contemporary R&B. The majority of songs on Giddy Skelter foreground Pulse's yearning, ethereal vocals, giving the music a distinctly feminine overtone. Sometimes the thing that makes great rock n' roll is the ineffable and the intangible, something you can only describe as alchemy; other times it's the rigors of process. On Kinsella and Pulse's Giddy Skelter, it's both - and it sounds unlike anything else you'll hear this year.1. Unblock Obstacles2. Over & Over3. Over & Over4. Nena5. Bootgirl6. If I'd Known7.

Pink Vinyl. Safe Sins, the debut record from Philadelphia band Gladie, begins with a prayer InchI close my eyes, pretend to pray/That this shame would just F**k off today,Inch sings Augusta Koch, her familiar timbre floating atop a wave of bleary-eyed synths on opener InchPray.Inch It's a gentle, hymnal introduction to a record that ducks from jangly power pop to plucky indie rock, scrappy electronic psych jams to swaying shoegaze. The record borrows it's title from Koch's personal poetry theme book Safe Sins is a place of safety, acceptance, and progress. It is a record about isolation, loss, and dismantling shame and grief through self-analysis. On limited Pink vinyl.

Pink Vinyl LP w/ Neon Purple Splatter Vinyl. Wicca Phase Springs Eternal is the creative persona of Scranton, PA singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Adam McIlwee. Since 2010, he has simultaneously established himself as a singular voice, adeptly combining his natural songwriting instincts with the digital culture enveloping his world. Through an extensive catalog of collaborations, singles, EPs and 2016's Secret Boy LP, McIlwee has become a celebrated pioneer in this vital new direction of underground music. Along the way, he assembled what would become his 2019 Run For Cover Records debut, Suffer On, with the sonic bedrock evolving yet again as he re-embraces an initial vision.Suffer On is an exploration of familiar forms through the lens of something new and extraordinary. It is the first Wicca Phase record fully written by McIlwee, utilizing guitars and keyboards to create each song's core and building upwards from there. Themes of longing, entrapment and sacrifice permeate the album - the notion of wanting more and not getting it. Production and lyrics are both intentionally sparse and bleak, reinforcing such feelings and allowing room for the weighty moods to fill the sonic void.InchIt's about making a deal with the devil,Inch he says. InchIt's saying I can pursue this artistic thing as a career, but the consequence is I'm going to put myself out there in an emotional state for everybody to consume.Inch But it was never really a choice which path to follow - like all great songwriters, McIlwee is driven by the innate urge to express himself through song. And in the end, Suffer On emanates it's own magic stemming from it's creator.
