Hanging Hearts - Where's Your Head at - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Massachusetts hardcore band Defeater's new self-titled album serves as their fifth full-length overall and first in four years. Lead single, InchMothers' SonsInch features blistering guitars that take the song into something chaotic and beautiful. Defeater was produced with Will Yip (Quicksand, La Dispute, Blacklisted, Lauryn Hill) whose enthusiasm and talent pushed the songs to their fullest potential. Defeater showcases the band at their most devastating and sonically arresting to date. It is as pummeling as it is atmospheric.

Vinyl LP pressing, includes . We're Not Talking is the second album from The Goon Sax and their first on Wichita Recordings (Ride, Los Campesinos!, Froth). The album was recorded with James Cecil and Cameron Bird, respectively former/current members of Architecture In Helsinki. It demonstrates the bands progress as songwriters since their debut, taking the enthusiasms of youth and twisting them into darker, more sophisticated shapes. Strings, horns, even castanets sneak their way onto the album, but We're Not Talking isn't glossy throwaway pop. Sounds stick out at surprising angles, cow-bells become lead instruments and brief home-recorded fragments appear unexpectedly. This is a record made by restless artists, defying expectations as if hardly noticing, and it's complexity makes We're Not Talking even more of a marvel.

Vinyl LP pressing. Genevieve Artadi releases her 2020 album Dizzy Strange Summer on Brainfeeder. On Dizzy Strange Summer, Genevieve Artadi offers a window into her ad-lib creativity and the LA community where it's been nurtured. This is the vocalist, composer and producer's second solo album, and it sees her stake out her own ground outside of her other groups Knower (with Louis Cole), Expensive Magnets and Everything's Under Control. She brings her own slant to the DIY LA scene that she's grown up in, melding influences from jazz, psychedelia, bossa nova and avant-garde electronics. Dizzy Strange Summer marks not only Artadi's debut on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder imprint, but her first self-produced project released on any record tag.
