Grampall Jookabox
"Ropechain" CD / LP
JNR25

Ropechain braids holy fear, schizophrenic inspiration, baroque pop-references, and deep, mystical love into a formidable work likely to leave aficionados of rock-n-roll trapped in an obsessive cycle of listening and re-listening.

The Delicious
"Postcard To My Sewing Circle" CD EP
JNR22

Feast your ears upon The Delicious' complex, light-hearted, and freakishly disjointed blend of experimental indie-art-pop. Postcard To My Sewing Circle abounds with elegantly constructed, cerebral power-pop anthems.

Lafcadio

Push-Pull probe areas untouched by The Wipers, King Crimson, Big Star, or Shellac - simultaneously offending, repelling, seducing, and violating the music snobs of our time.

Grampall Jookabox
"Scientific Cricket" CD

Stationary Odyssey
"Terror on The Hell Loop" MP3 EP
JNR14

A FREE downloadable EP from our favorite easy-listening noise-rockers, Stationary Odyssey. Terror on The Hell Loop features standard versions of two songs from the Head! Foot! and the Pink Axe album, as well as two remixes and one previously unreleased track.

Abner Trio / Man At Arms
CD
JNR13

A split CD from two opposing rock forces. In their sophomore effort, Abner Trio has developed a more epic sound, recalling a late 70's early 80's folk-punk sub-genre that never actually existed. Man at Arms retaliates by orchestrating clever, half-crazed, noisy punk/math-rock critiques of late stage consumer capitalism.

Stationary Odyssey
"Head! Foot! And The Pink Axe" CD
JNR12

An intensely broad spectrum of sound and mood come with the music of Stationary Odyssey. Godspeed-esque guitar squeals meets electro-noise-pop in this new and strangely listenable blend of noise-rock.

  LAFCADIO
"Sham Duvet" CD
JNR10

Prog-math-metal rock-opera. LAFCADIO's wide array of influences (from King Crimson to Mike Patton; Melvins to The Mars Volta) fuse and recombine into a new-synthesis---like some kind of psycho-symphonic experimental cockrock-core.

Abner Trio

Grind-folk/sleep-soaked/mystic-schizophrenic-post-monastic-trance-rock album of the year. Like a hybrid wedding of down-home bluesy strumming, and hyper-conceptual French postmodernism.

Melk The G6-49
"Glossolalia" CD

If you could run an MRI on this album it would look like a brain in the grips of a religious seizure. The most common side-effects include headache, rapture, salvation, arrhythmic heartbeat, and total brain-death.
