Almost Summer.
Hey all.
As some of you eagle-eyed folks may have noticed the site has been lacking in regular updates since Springtime. Many apologies.
Rather than do a catch up megapost I thought I'd just mention a few highlights that have been making us smile in the store the last couple of months.
As well the long-running format of just posting new arrivals wasn't really what I'd had in mind when I started the page. Always meant to have more commentary and spotlights and complaints and epiphanies but that didn't really happen. So let's give it another go, shall we?
First up the big noise albums over the last few months:
Burning Hell - Baby (Weekwerk)
Japandroids - Post Nothing (Unfamiliar)
Akron/Family - Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free (Dead Oceans)
Pink Mountaintops - Outside Love (Jagjaguwar)
Dog Day - Concentration (Outside)
Apostle of Hustle - Eats Darkness (Arts & Crafts)
Grizzly Bear - Veckamitest (Warp)
Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca (Domino)
Hayden - Place Where We Lived (Hardwood)
Sorry no new video yet.
