After the April/Mayhem of our Whatever Nevermind tribute to NIRVANA, we were inundated in mailorder for the bulk of the month. Thank you to everyone who ordered the record, had patience as we got it to you, shared a track online, gram'd a photo of the vinyl alongside your favorite food or beverage, and/or otherwise just gave a crap. It's been an ambitious and exciting release, and now that the dust has settled on mailorder and Record Store Day, less than 30 copies remain. Last chance ta dance on grabbing that in our Online Store, but be sure to read below for all the good new stuff we've gotten as well.
photo by Jack (is the) BarfieldOne of the thirteen bands who contributed to Whatever Nevermind was Miami's WRONG, who battered us with an offkilter rendition of "Stay Away". This squad of miscreants can't sit still, and are hitting the road again from June through August in an ever-mutating form, backed (in part) by Rick from TORCHE on drums. Their incestuous Lernaean nature means half of WRONG is now the rhythm section of riff-hurricane HOUSE OF LIGHTNING who will be across all tour dates as well, and a blistering new album is on the visible horizon... Full dates found below, or right here. WRONG's debut 12" EP is available in our Online Store, as is the first HOUSE OF LIGHTNING album - right here.
Alongside WRONG's debut EP back in March we also released Seattle squad TERMINAL FUZZ TERROR's vinyl debut,[/i] Vol. 0: In The Shadow Of The Mountain[/i]. These psychedelic beasts have just launched a flash new music video for key cut "Senseless Boogie", which is up now on ye' olde YouTube. You can pick up[/i] Vol. 0: In The Shadow Of The Mountain [/i]in all its uber-deluxe silk-screened-packaging glory AND/OR some fancy ass TERMINAL FUZZ TERROR t-shirts over at the Robotic Empire - Online Store.
Beyond all that cool stuff, some Robo-related artists are kicking in new forms and we've done our best to stock their latest tunes. Along with some killer new stuff and restocks from the likes of ANNE, BIG BUSINESS, ELDER, FORN, IRON REGAN, LIGTNING BOLT, LITURGY, NOTHING, PRIMITIVE MAN, THE SADDEST LANDSCAPE, TOE and a bunch of others, it's exciting to announce the new release from ANCIENT SKY members 'other' group DOMMENGANG which is absolutely killer psych-rock gold, and SUMAC's bludgeoning debut which contains one Aaron Turner of ISIS, HOUSE OF LOW CULTURE, OLD MAN GLOOM and many more.
