Incoming! As we get tend to get a little freaky about Scandinavian rock we warmly welcome the new Motorpsycho epic ‘Heavy Metal Fruit’ to our shores this week, direct from Norway. If you love modern prog rock then this is your cup of peyotea. Meanwhile we’ve got a slew of full-lengths from Loscil, Ruby Suns, Clogs, Owen Pallet (this came out earlier this year, now it’s coming out again), Rogue Wave, Strange Boys, Stray Ghost, Jaguar Love and loads more.
Wax On: On the vinyl front we’ve got LP versions of Motorpsycho (DLP, 4th side etched in triple-gatefold), Loscil, Ruby Suns, Rogue Wave, Elephant9, The Clean (import wax for their recent ‘Mr. Pop’ album), Cars Can Be Blue; 12″ vinyl endeavors from City Center (members of Saturday Looks Good To Me and Canada), Magik Markers/Sic Alps (split), Sunny Day In Glasgow; new 45s from Life On Earth, Arriver, Ceremony…
Rocking Our World: Saw Swedish rockers The Soundtrack of Our Lives up in Chicago Sunday night. They slayed, or slew, or something. It was awesome. Here at HQ we’ve been delving into new albums from Moon Duo, Midlake, Citay, Album Leaf and of course the new Motorpsycho, duh.
