Maybe his catchiest record since Sugar's Copper Blue, Mould's newest album reflects on living overseas (Berlin), far away while his home finds itself in political unrest. He expands his pop pallet here with strings & 60s pop influence on top of his always-searing guitar hooks (including a ripping Shocking Blue cover that recalls Husker Du's famous "Eight Miles High" rework)

When Ex Hex exploded onto the scene with their unfettered brand of rock and riffage, the power trio for our generation had finally arrived. Made up of Mary Timony (guitar, vocals), Betsy Wright (bass, vocals), and Laura Harris (drums), the group’s 2014 debut Rips was a gleaming collection of tightly wound gems that scored Best New Music honors from Pitchfork, the top spot on Magnet Magazine’s Best of 2014 list, and No. 11 in that year’s Pazz & Jop critics poll. Near-constant touring throughout 2015 and 2016 established the band as a force to be reckoned with: an audacious three-piece distilling rock music to its essence with formidable skills and a reputation for frenzied and unabashedly fun live shows.
On It’s Real, the group’s forthcoming second album, Ex Hex’s commitment to larger-than-life riffs and unforgettable hooks remains intact, but the garage-y, post-punk approach that defined Rips has grown in scale and ambition. What started as a reaction to the blown-out aesthetic of Rips would test the sonic limits of the power trio and lead the band on a quest for a more immersive and three-dimensional sound. Vocal harmonies are layered ten tracks deep, solos shimmer and modulate atop heaving power chords, and the codas linger and stretch toward new frontiers of sound. On first listen, you might think you’ve unearthed a long-lost LP carved from the space where crunch-minded art rock and glitter-covered hard rock converge, an event horizon at the intersection of towering choruses and swaggering guitars.
Produced by Jonah Takagi (who also produced Rips), It’s Real was a more collaborative effort than its predecessor. Mary and Betsy could be found writing late into the night, leaning on Takagi to tighten up arrangements. Egos were surrendered in service to the music: Nothing was sacred or precious, and there was a relentless devotion to both songcraft and exploration. Dozens of guitar amps sat mic-ed in the next room, and the group experimented at a frenzied pace parsing countless combinations of instruments, pedals, and amps. They even dusted off Mary’s old Rockman, a small headphone amp designed by Boston guitarist Tom Scholz in 1982. Mary recounts, “It’s only about the size of a Walkman and takes eight AA batteries, but it sounds massive. We read that parts of [Def Leppard’s] Hysteria were tracked through it, and when we finally plugged it in, it blew our minds!”
The opening track “Tough Enough” is punky and defiant, with stacked backing vocals posing the question “Are you tough enough (to let it go)?” that’s resoundingly answered in the affirmative by a searing, triumphant guitar solo. “Cosmic Cave” is a bittersweet rave-up with shimmering phased guitars, a gooey-candied chorus, and beamed-in “whoa-oh-ohs” that add a touch of melancholia to the frenzied speed-of-sound pace. The ferocious and anthemic “Rainbow Shiner” is what Wright describes as “a victory song.” Her mordacious central riff is coupled with dueling guitar-god solos that explode from the stereo spectrum. The starlit “Another Dimension” has it all: pounding drums, palm-muted humbucking chugs, soaring harmonized vocals, and a stark, ethereal bridge that sends listeners deep into the lush sonic landscape that the band set out to create.

Ex Hex were already one of America’s best guitar bands—but on It’s Real, their musical savvy has thrillingly combined with anything-goes curiosity, studio experimentation, and a dedication to refinement, resulting in an album that’s ready to be played at maximum volume.

Over his first three albums, Homeshake's Peter Sagar followed his own idiosyncratic vision, a journey that's taken him from sturdy guitar-based indie-pop to a bleary-eyed take on lo-fi R&B. Now, with Helium, Sagar is putting down roots in aesthetic territory all his own.

It comes through not only in the gauziness of the production but also in the vulnerability of the songs themselves. Everyone Sagar encounters here - including himself - seems to be a step removed from present reality, whether by technology ("Anything At All"), solitude ("Just Like My"), or sweet fantasy ("Like Mariah").

Helium was recorded and mixed by Sagar alone in his apartment in Montreal in early 2018. Freed of the rigid editing process he'd endured before, he was able to lose himself in pursuit of tone and texture. A budding interest in ambient and experimental music pushed him to tinker with the micro-sounds that surround the songs here. The warm chords of a Roland Juno 60 form the al bum's base and gave him a clean palette with which to work. "No tape hiss, no humming power outlets and shitty mixing boards," as he puts it. "Everything just came out nice and pure."

The second volume in the legendary scratch DJ’s transportive ambient-vocal collaboration series. Inspired by music that allows space for the listener’s own ideas, the Music To Draw To series is an unfolding universe of wintry soundscapes and enchanting vocal journeys. Io is a constellation of electronic meditations that glint with the otherworldly blues of singer Trixie Whitley on six of its eighteen songs. Heartrending poetry once again written by Kid Koala channel the turbulence of the modern global psyche using the Greek mythology of Io, an unwilling mortal lover of the god Zeus, as its compass. Transcendently personified by the force of nature that is Trixie Whitley, Io is a vivid universe of brilliant characters and emotional voices. Written and performed entirely by Kid Koala a.k.a. Eric San on an array of synthesizers, including the trove of rare instruments at Calgary’s National Music Centre, Music To Draw To: Io reveals layer-by-layer what Whitley describes as “the bottomless depth of Kid Koala as a thinker, creator, and artist, with the incredible ability to invent new artistic dimensions, and fill them with uncanny characters.”

We are pleased and proud to offer the limited-edition NATHANIEL RUSSELL 'TOGETHER' benefit tote pack!

This limited-edition package includes:
-"TOGETHER" 100% cotton tote bag (measuring 14"x15"), printed by Crystal Graphics
-"TOGETHER" and "RESIST FEAR ASSIST LOVE" matte-finish, die-cut vinyl stickers
-"RESIST FEAR ASSIST LOVE" postcard (measuring 8"x5"), printed by Cat Head Press
-"RESIST FEAR ASSIST LOVE" button, produced by Busy Beave r Button Co.

From Nat:
"Two years ago, I made the "RESIST FEAR ASSIST LOVE" image--the day after the president was elected. It quickly spread across the world and was made available for free to anybody who wanted it. Soon after, the demand for a t-shirt of the image was so great that we (myself and my friends LUNA music and Crystal Graphics) made two runs of shirts and were able to raise thousands of dollars--with 100% of the profits going to local and national organizations (The Julian Center and Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky). It was a good feeling to contribute in a positive and practical way to those organizations in a time filled with so much hopelessness and sadness.

It has been incredible to see that image appear in business windows, private homes, protest signs, and stickers all over the planet. The image was made to share, and it seems to endure. I was recently asked to create a print for another fundraiser for detained immigrant children. I made "TOGETHER" (with my friends at Bloom Screen Printing in Oakland) and was able to raise some more funds for an assisting legal organization. This new print seemed to match the spirit of the "RESIST FEAR ASSIST LOVE" image, and I began to talk with Todd Robinson of LUNA music about how we could do another fundraising project that paired the two.

The result of that conversation was to continue to make these physical objects--as a way to spread a message of kindness, hope, and love. Our hope is that we can send a spirit of we-are-in-this-together-ness into the world, while raising funds for organizations that do the real, hard work of community support and involvement. Every time we put up a sticker, wear a button, show off a tote bag, or put a postcard in our window, there is the chance that somebody will see it, and it will resonate with them, and they will carry that image and feeling with them the rest of the day--or week--or month or year.

Just like the previous projects, 100% of the funds raised (after material costs) will be donated to love-assisting agencies. This year, donations will be split between two Indianapolis organizations: The Julian Center (an organization that supports victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other life crises) and the FACE Low Cost Animal Clinic.

None of this would be possible without the support and hard work of LUNA music, Crystal Graphics, Cat Head Press, and Busy Beaver Button Co.--who have all generously donated time and materials to the creation and distribution of this project. Their support and hard work has made this entire project possible."
