Islands - What Occurs - VINYL LP

Tired of InchMonster MashInch? Through with calling InchGhostbustersInch? If your Halloween playlist is begging for something different, look no further than the frightfully fun Music to Freak Your Friends and Break Your Lease. Don't believe us? Take The Bride of Frankenstein's word for it-she's on the cover! Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records, in our relentless quest to leave no musical stone unturned, have given a new lease on life to one of the most unusual records of all time. Upon it's initial in 1974, this InchSymphony for Tape Delay, IBM Instruction Manual, & Ohm SeptetInch was credited to Inchrecognized raconteur, genius, composer, musicologist, conductorInch Heins Hoffman-Richter, whom the original liner notes blithely inform us, Inchdied from an ear lobe tumor.Inch It turns out that the late Hoffman-Richter was none other than best-selling poet and all-time cult music hero Rod McKuen... but you won't find any cats named Sloopy here. Instead, Music to Freak Your Friends and Break Your Lease is Rod McKuen's very own Metal Machine Music. Like Lou Reed's later experiment in feedback and noise, Freak Your Friends features no songs or traditionally structured compositions... but it just might scare off those candy-hungry kiddies on your doorstep with it's Moog-tastic mayhem! Simply put, this wild journey through the electronic underground has to be heard to be believed. It arrives on dark and stormy night vinyl to commemorate the circumstances surrounding the birth of Elsa Lanchester as Frankenstein's bride, in a package that replicates the collectible original and also includes an insert with liner notes from The Second Disc's Joe Marchese. Music to Freak Your Friends and Break Your Lease will indeed act as potent pal and landlord repellent... limited to 500 copies!

Vinyl LP pressing. Should I Remain Here, at Sea?, Islands' 7th, is, in many ways, a spiritual sequel to the debut album, 2006's Return to the Sea; a natural, raw record, stripped down to it's essentials, performed live off the floor. Reflecting on the decade that has elapsed, SIRHAS kicks off with a darkly funny tartness, tackling religion, race, addiction, and murderous fantasies, but by midpoint, the songs give way to a resigned and doleful melancholia, tackling heartache, numb disillusionment and emotional disorientation through the guise of stupid parrots, the Internet, sea turtles and perhaps the loneliest maritimer to ever sail the seas. It was recorded as spontaneously as could be, with some of the songs captured live in one take, vocals and all.

Limited black and white colored vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of the band's 1981 debut. Pitchfork cited InchStands for deciBelsInch among it's list of Top 100 Albums of the 1980s. InchThe missing link between the proto-power pop of Big Star and the college rock of R.E.M... an unheralded gemInch. The dB's carved out a nice little niche in the genre of power pop while straddling the line between punk and new wave.Inch -Pop Matters. Inch[T]he dB's combined a reverence for British pop and arty post-punk leanings that alternate between minimalism and a love of quirky embellishment, odd sounds, and unexpected twists; Stands for deciBels is clearly a collegiate pop experiment, but rarely is experimentation so enjoyable and irresistibly catchyInch - AllMusic.
