OUT NOW: WHY? Alopecia - 10th anniversary reissue!
When it dropped in 2008, Alopecia not only marked WHY?'s evolution from a sonically collaged mostly solo project to a live-recorded powerhouse band of badass multi-instrumentalists, it also minted a genre of one: wryly written, poignantly posed, simultaneously swaggering and heart-rending song-rap that jangles like folk, bursts like psych-rock, and sways like chamber pop. To this day, there is no other group that sounds or feels like WHY? does on Alopecia.The limited edition vinyl is pressed on cloud color vinyl; 'bonus 7" on red vinyl, featuring remixes by Boards of Canada and Dntel.

ANNOUNCING: Tropical Fuck Storm, A Laughing Death In Meatspace
These are lurid songs, urgently told through Gareth Liddiard's barbed and byzantine lyricism, abrasive guitar slashes, drum adrenalin, raunchy bass and electronic undercurrents.
From TFS, "The band and myself are quietly confident that the US release of ALDIMS will bridge America's political divide and usher in a millennia long age of peace and prosperity." - Gareth Liddiard

ANNOUNCING: Ohmme, Parts

While still in their 20s, they have recorded and toured with homegrown acts including Tweedy, Chance The Rapper, and Twin Peaks, just to name a few, with some half-dozen albums under their belts and a fervent appetite for experimental live performance.The new album, Parts, draws from influences as diverse as Kate Bush and Brian Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets to jazz and improvisational music.For a taste, check out the video for "Icon" here.

OUT NOW:The Ophelias, Almost
Produced by Yoni Wolf (WHY?), the new album Almost glides between palatial assuredness and pallid introspection, looking back on youthful yearning—the uncertainties, the traumas, the anxieties—without discounting its soft beauty. The Ophelias steer Almost through the lineage of coming-of-age confessionals, and affectionately document their growth into a warm, fractured adulthood.
Stereogum premiered official Lyric Video for first single ”Fog”. “Just under two minutes, it’s jumpy, sweeping, and polished. It feels alive and warm, as if covered in a sheet of honey.”
Available for Pre-Order on strawberry creamsicle vinyl, green glass vinyl, CD, Cassette and digital right this way…
