About this product
Meatbodies' latest undertaking and borderline lost album, Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom, is their most varied and realized work to date. It's a melodic, hook-filled rock epic in which frontman and lead guitarist Chad Ubovich faces the trials of sobriety, redemption, reinvention while literally learning to walk and play again. Resurrection not only accompanies the record, but it's production as well, Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom examines themes surrounding love and loss, escapism, defeatism, hedonism, psychedelics and much more. By 2017, Ubovich had reached a crossroads. After years of increasingly insane shows playing to heaving crowds with an ever-evolving and rotating door of personnel, fatigue had taken it's toll and he realized another change was on the horizon. Retreating to the seedy Los Angeles underbelly-in search of meaning and a reset-he escaped into that world, ignoring his own well being, trying to forget his successes. It was at this point that Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom began to take shape-a project built by a man searching for new beginnings and his own sense of self. After sobering up, sessions began with longtime collaborator Dylan Fujioka. However, due to discrepancies with the studio, tensions were high and the plug was pulled. And as the world took a back seat, so did the idea of Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom. Not wanting to sit still at home, Ubovich began to comb through his previous demos, and, with that, 333 was born, the now de facto third Meatbodies album. Yet Flora was never far from Ubovich's mind.When restrictions started to lift, Ubovich headed to Gold Diggers Sound in Los Angeles, backed by engineer Ed McEntee and a team of colleagues and friends, and completed the final act to the album. It recalls the searing Blue Cheer-meets-Iggy Pop-with-psychedelia that permeated previous releases, but adds new elements of shoegaze, classic alternative, Britpop, drone,

Every artist has to discover their voice. Gia Margaret didn't find herself until she lost hers. With a vocal injury that kept her from singing for years, she developed other musical languages, mastering the grammar of an intricate, homey form of ambient music pioneered by Ernest Hood and perfected by The Books. Now, her physical voice healed and her artistic voice honed, she comes full circle with Singing, her first vocal album since 2018's There's Always Glimmer. Led by soft piano lines that fall like breath on glass, the music on Singing evidences the same jeweler's sensitivity to detail that she developed in her silence. InchThere was a time when I really didn't know if I would sing again. So once I healed, there was a lot of internal pressure to come back strong,Inch Margaret says. InchI didn't know who I was anymore. So it felt like beginning again, and reconnecting with these very old, old parts of myself.Inch This feeling of intermixed alienation and rediscovery is palpable across the album. In opener InchEveryone Around Me Dancing,Inch she watches a party from the wings, aware of how her body keeps her from communal joy while also providing new modes of self-knowledge. Shut out from the scene, she is Inchcloser to the ground, the planet.Inch In InchAlive Inside,Inch she's so far away from the source that she's praying to whoever might hear (Incha god, a friend that's gone, a spiritInch). As her voice rises, it seems to be trapped in a web of distortion; it's as if in her pursuit, she's pushing at the very boundaries of what can be said. The process of making Singing was one of learning how to trust each of those feelings. The album was partially recorded in London with Frou Frou's Guy Sigsworth, who helped Margaret unify the spree of ideas she had for InchGood Friend,Inch an album highlight that includes Gregorian chant by ILA and turntable scratches, among ma
Ushering in a new era, Berlin based, New Zealand heavy psych duo Earth Tongue lower the castle gates on their third album Dungeon Vision, a trove of fuzz-drenched anthems produced by garage rock luminary Ty Segall in Los Angeles.Guitarist Gussie Larkin and drummer Ezra Simons spent the Berlin winter of 2025 refining the album's twelve tracks in their self-described Inchwindowless caveInch rehearsal space, crafting a record that channels both isolation and the duo's live intensity. With the songs finally taking shape and a studio deadline looming, they flew to Los Angeles to turn their hard-won ideas into the real thing. Once there, the band and Ty captured lightning in a bottle, recording and mixing Dungeon Vision in just ten days at Altamira Sound. Tracked live to tape, Dungeon Vision pulses with human energy, fuzz guitars, bone-battering drums, and hauntingly tuneful vocals. Ty Segall's influence is all over the record with Ty choosing the best takes based on feel rather than technical perfection. The Inchking of fuzzy guitar tonesInch pushed the duo to find new sonic textures while championing their raw chemistry.InchTy's been a big driving force,Inch says Ezra. InchWe supported him in New Zealand back in 2023, and he's backed us ever since even bringing us on tour through Europe and the UK in 2024.InchSince their emergence in 2016, Earth Tongue's world-building, visuals, and relentless touring have earned them global attention and a cult-like following. Their 2024 album Great Haunting, also released on In The Red Records, received a Taite Music Prize nomination and saw them win Best Group at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards. They've toured extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, IDLES, Acid King, Brant Bjork and Kikagaku Moyo. With Dungeon Vision, Earth Tongue deliver their most immersive work yet, a richly human, fuzz-soaked journey t
