Sd Laika - That's Harakiri - VINYL LP

Sevendials - A Crash Course In Catastrophe [VINYL LP] date 05/09/2025

Vinyl LP pressing. Joyce Manor are back with a new album, entitled Million Dollars To Kill Me. Frontman Barry Johnson along with co-founding guitarist Chase Knobbe, new drummer Pat Ware-(InchAwesome new drummer,Inch adds Johnson)-and longtime bassist Matt Ebert, wrote enough songs to fill a full-length, and then worked to get songs lifted from emails between Johnson and one of his musical hero Impossibles' guitarist/vocalist Rory Phillips, with whom he had been co-writing long distance, to match the ones written at full volume. (InchBedroom charm versus live rock band,Inch Johnson explains.)

Volume 3 of a set of collaborations between the prolific Argentine polymaths Reynols and the inescapable Acid Mothers Temple. Recorded in Buenos Aries on AMT's 2017 South American Tour, the music has identifiable sonic elements from both groups but ends up sounding like neither, with a surprising weightlessness that keeps things jammy and psychedelic until the final track's blustering rock. Taking up most of side 1, InchKicking Air BricksInch has a loose Gong/'70s Euro-classic vibe, with Satoshima Nani getting to swing on the drums in a way that isn't always part of AMT's steamroller, while the rest of the gang layers in abstract piano, percussion, glissando guitar, etc. InchMultiverse Turtle ReflexInch closes the side with a thick drone coda. Side two starts with Miguel Tomasin's gentle vocal and organ accompaniment on InchSmelling Oneiric AsadoInch before the group gradually gathers momentum with Wolf's thick bass anchoring layers of clean and loose guitar interplay. InchLemurian Tsunami Inside A HatInch is a thriteen-minute heavy rock epic, with the Reynols' guitars going head to head with Makota Kawabata's easily recognized interjections, ramping up into a riffy crescendo.
