Aye, this one’s without a doubt one of our favorite albums of the ‘90s. Produced by Jim O’Rourke (marking his first recording session with a rock band), Long Hair In Three Stages is the landmark debut album from experimental rock quartet U.S. Maple, a group of some of the finest art punks to ever emerge from the Midwest. A real crowning achievement of that golden Chicago no wave scene. Just some of the strangest, most dazzling rock music you’ll ever hear. Following the release of Long Hair In Three Stages in ‘95, U.S. Maple toured Europe and recorded a Peel Session. According to SKiN GRAFT Records, “more history is made.” The album was lovingly reissued last year for its 30th anniversary, but we have a few remaining copies of the original ‘95 CD edition in stock today. Act fast! Link in bio to purchase 🔗 @skingraftrecords @redeyeworldwide

Today I heard the first vinyl pressing of my album at @recordpressing It was a powerful, deeply emotional moment. Something that began more than three years ago as an intangible experience gradually transformed into songs, lyrics, and recordings and suddenly it’s been sealed into matter, into grooves. I still perceive music as a movement between the immaterial and the physical. It emerges from somewhere unseen, then through pressure and heat takes shape. Vinyl holds the fleeting still for a moment, but it never truly stays. It only comes alive in relationship: when the needle touches it, when someone listens. That’s where its greatest dimension lies for me that nothing is ever final. Even though this moment closes the journey from experience to writing to recording, it also reopens it, differently, every single time. I can’t wait to share it.

Just announced! Violist @jjjessicapppavone and bassoonist @youngunkatie join forces to create a new body of work for their instruments.

@alarauncher ’s self-titled debut is out May 8th on CD and digital formats via Primordial Void. The Athens, Georgia-based duo of Al.O.Vera and L.B. are producing some of the most wildly inventive industrial music the American underground has heard in years. Their full-length debut contains eight blistering, club-ready selections fit to soundtrack an apocalyptic rave. It’s one of the strongest releases to come out of Athens in quite some time. On “Designer Ghosts II,” which showcases Vera’s fierce vocals and industrial hip-hop production style, Rauncher make their mission statement clear. An onslaught of shouted vocals, blown-out bass, wailing guitar, and 808 cowbell, the track is one hell of a way to start the album. Following up “Jimi’s Path (To Divinity),” which samples Hendrix’s 1969 appearance on The Dick Cavett Show, it’s a moment that’s both commanding and intoxicating. Rauncher’s musical palette references everything from breakbeat hardcore to noise rock, and considering Vera’s previous project was McQQeen–a fantastic local punk band–the latter influence makes a lot of sense. Here, though, his instrumentals and meticulous production methods land somewhere between Death Grips and Machine Girl. The more electronic direction of Rauncher makes them stand out in Athens’ guitar-oriented DIY scene. Vera and L.B. first caught our attention with last year’s excellent WW3 EP, which lived up to its epic title with a collection of skull-crushing gabber experiments. On their full-length debut, the boundary-pushing duo have established themselves as one of the South’s most promising new acts. Rauncher are recontextualizing basement punk within the musical framework of digital hardcore and jungle. The best example of this would have to be “Amen Cuffs,” which, along with the rest of Rauncher’s output thus far, feels equal parts anthemic and wrathful. We can’t get enough.
