disappears - guider

DISAPPEARS are back with another lp of pysched out space garage drone hypnosis........ these chicago kids have melted yr spacemen 3, velvets and wooden shjips albums down and may have made something even better........

guider is going to be one of my fav lps of the year, and is probably even better than LUX last year......

make sure you buy this as soon as you can.......

but if you need to wait until payday, sample it here and/or listen below -

dead ghosts- s/t lp

for fans of jacuzzi boys, black lips, ty segall and anything on trouble in mind records.....make DEAD GHOSTS yr favorite new band.

from the florida's dying records: " This is the first proper LP from Vancouver's Dead Ghosts, following a live tape turned 12" and a string of sold out 7"s, and these kids knock the ball clear out of the park. A 13 song non-stop hit parade of jangly lo-fi garage rock bashers, with some doo wop prom breaks, country & western twangy lead work, and shuffling rhythms to get the kids shinglin and shakin. The perfect soundtrack to a sweaty basement dance party...."

and that assessment is spot on. and if you can find copies of their seven inches of live lp, grab them too.....

acquire the s/t lp here

big troubles - worry LP

fuzzed out pop hooks buried underneath a layer of jesus and mary chain/my bloody valentine noise.... lo-fi anthems that can easily place BIG TROUBLES next to no age in a year or two overrun by kids who love crafting songs on the verge of falling apart.......

i was skeptical of their WORRY LP until i finally got around to listening to it.....it sticks with you, maybe the band wears its influences too overtly, but the melodies make you not care.....

grab the lp here.....

and listen below if yr not sure........

dirtbombs want you party old school detroit style

from detroitblackout...... "Detroit garage rockers The Dirtbombs know how to pay a little homage. They did so with 2001′s Ultraglide in Black, covering soul numbers from the ’60s and ’70s. The band’s new album Party Store goes a different direction, but the concept sounds promising enough: live renditions of ’80s and ’90s Detroit techno......"

nice, I can't wait, more gritty detroit rock n roll with a 80s dance beat.....maybe not what i expected, but the dirtbombs have always mixed it up a bit/ and the good bands usually do........

check out a track from the new Dirtbombs "party store" lp below.......

secret history of chicago music.
