This LP is a co-release between LST, People In A Position To Know, Fin Records, and Curly Cassettes! All of which are highly recommended!

"Solid Home Life is like the old lace that people used to make before there were machines, have you ever seen that stuff? It is a delicately woven together document of love, loss, and the mundane wrapped gently in a fiery and transcendent joy. Each track communicates personal messages from co-writers Lindsay Schief (LAKE) and Greg Olin (Graves). They are singing to each other, to others and luckily, to us. It feels as it may fall apart because it so fine, any misstep and the fabric would crumble. Nothing falls apart, and un-ironic charm moves each thread through the hoop. From the traditional folk structures to calypso rhythms, every track on Solid Home Life weaves a pattern that hooks the ear."

The LP comes on beautiful sea-blue vinyl, in full color jackets, and includes a digital download code. One-time pressing of 500 copies.

Lost Sound Tapes says: "We all know that Oakland has a thriving, long running punk scene. Well did you know there's a healthy folk community there too? Winnie Byrd and Glass Cake are certainly at the forefront of that. I played a Blanket Truth show with both of them around Christmastime 2009 at Michelle (Glass Cake)'s house and it was a blast.

Winnie Byrd is the side project of Davyd Nereo of Beatbeat Whisper, a carefully crafted sibling folk duo. It differs from Beatbeat Whisper by bouncing around through folk pop, country twang, and classical baroque.

Glass Cake writes some seriously heartbreaking yet catchy and uplifting songs. Her voice makes you feel like you're riding a rollercoaster that hits a dip in the track. Recommended for fans of Watercolor Paintings. It's no coincidence Michelle Shofet of Glass Cake and Rebecca Redman of Watercolor Paintings are in Girl Band together along with Mallory Watje of Mammary.

First edition of 100 copies, with digital download, hand stamped covers and full color labels on clear purple tapes. Cover illustration by Jeff Stratford.

Lost Sound Tapes says: "A split 7" between two like-minded outsiders. 10 tracks from Justin Clifford Rhody and 7 tracks from Sam Gas Can. It's 16 minutes of music split into 17 A.D.H.D. fueled tracks. The record shambles through quasi-rock'n'roll, blow out ukulele strum, spoken word poetry, acoustic pop songs, abstract instrumentals, and a Velvet Underground cover. Highly recommended for people who cannot make up their mind.

Limited to 300 copies total, released collaboratively by Lost Sound Tapes, Feeding Tube Records, Breaking World Records, Faux-Pas Industries, DIY Bandits, and Friends And Relatives. WE ONLY HAVE 40 COPIES FOR SALE."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Taken from the same sessions as the material found on the split 7 inch with Weed Hounds, Dude Japan is back with a six song ep called "Simple Living". Dude Japan continues to create their own blend of super melodic, buzzing guitar indie rock pop bliss culling influences from such bands as Velocity Girl, Superchunk, Further, Tiger Trap, and Built to Spill amongst others. "Simple Living" is chock full of toe tapping and head bopping goodness! This ep includes a Tiger Trap cover!

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Sundance Kids, formerly of Olympia now residing in Seattle, Washington, is the creative songwriting outlet of Shelby Turner (Huge Cookies, Megabog, iji). 'Tell The Truth' is an album over a year in the making, many of which were performed on the Sundance Kids 2009 U.S. tour. Turner's songs have many twists, turns, and time changes, together with his off-kilter pop sensibility and distinct voice. He is accompanied on this album by Erin Birgy on drums/vocals (Megabog, iji, Wizards of the Ghost) and Derek Hain.

Lost Sound Tapes says: "11 tracks of wild, catchy, pop punk like only Pangea can do and they can do no wrong. The last song on the album even utilizes auto-tuned vocals, what?! They've transformed over the last couple years from playing soulful folk pop songs to blistering, charlie brown punk songs. This description sucks, this tape DOES NOT SUCK.

Okay, so anyways, Pangea are from the greater Los Angeles area and are part of the Griznar music collective which includes great bands like Harvest Moon Society and God Equals Genocide. Inspired by bay area pop punk bands, these songs will make you want to dance like an electrocuted squirrel.

Second edition of 100 yellow tapes with silver foil labels."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "The highly anticipated, much delayed split release between folk poppers Blanket Truth (fronted by Jon Manning who runs Lost Sound Tapes) and Dana Jewell (who runs Wild Animal Kingdom Records) is finally here! The songs were recorded in mid/late 2009 and are now getting released September 2010. Some of these tracks are now old favorites for live crowds but may be brand new for people outside of the pacific northwest.

Blanket Truth conjures thoughts of Daniel Johnston, Herman Dune, or The Mountain Goats while Dana Jewell could be described as a lighter-hearted version of Simon Joyner or less-baritone Calvin Johnson. Both groups find much inspiration in Jonathan Richman and have previously covered the song "Back In Your Life".

There was a soft release of the cassette in December of 2009 for a Blanket Truth west coast tour with a cover designed by Dana Jewell. The new, proper release of the tape contains completely different artwork, borrowed from a 1967 issue of Readers Digest, clear blue tapes and black + white printed labels. Edition of 150 or so."

Lost Sound Tapes: "Math The Band is a force to be reckoned with! Poppy, fun, dance tunes with lots and lots of analog synthesizer. Not to mention more BPM than any rational person would actually need. This duo puts on one of the most fun live shows this side of the Milky Way galaxy. This album takes a slightly more aggressive turn from their previous Atom And His Package-esque recordings and they are all the better for it. Think Andrew WK but cuter and just as much fun.

Second run of solid blue cassette tapes with handstamped and printed kraft paper covers."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Here we have the third full length album entitled 'White Flag' from Athens, GA native, Madeline Adams, known by most as simply 'Madeline'. Her songs are hauntingly beautiful with personal lyrics and a stunning voice. 'White Flag' is the culmination of three years of hard work from Madeline while she enlisted many of her fellow Athens-based musicians including members of the Elephant 6 Collective. The CD version of the album is available from Orange Twin Records.

Second edition of 100 copies with clear yellow tapes, printed labels, and photocopied covers."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Cave Babies is the solo project of Mr Josh 'Hoshwa' Redman. One half of the brother/sister duo Watercolor Paintings, Hoshwa creates surprisingly delicate, yet fun, pop songs. These songs are about crushes and being crushed, truly honest and pure feelings. Chord organ, horns, and ukulele have never sounded as well as they do on this tape. Lost Sound Tapes is very glad to present this tape to you, it's a very special album. Finally back in stock!

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Faux Jerome (pronounced FOX Jerome) is Tomm Johnson aka Tricera aka Track Mastra's new project with Tai Faux. We have for you an eclectic hip hop beat tape for your aural pleasure. This is the inaugural tape from Faux Jerome packaged in part of a part of a red/black flannel shirt. Lumber jack be damned. Is red/black flannel still popular? Let's find out together!

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Not a single album, but a double album! Part one: Salad is a new set of tight, upbeat, fun songs. Part two: Soup is an epic side of experimental pop interspersed with stories about melon. Just the right amount of distortion and an extra helping of female backing vocals this time.

Third edition of 100 copies. Soup-and-Salad-colored labels, on solid white cassettes with full color covers designed by Zach Burba. Soup labels now even soupier!

Unread Records says: "New batch of stark acoustic ballad from important songwriter. Recorded in a few takes the winter of 2003. Added sparse backdrop and sounds via wires/metal/pipes from the drunk kids around a year later. Cleaned up and released as is. Truly beautiful."

Unread Records says: "Western blues and folk meanderings from a kind and gentle singer-songwriter of epic proportions. Heartfelt ballads and dirt-fi dirges, although the meanings shine through. Poorly recorded during winter, and laid on a bed of hiss and strum. His third respective release gives a more in-tense, and personal look at love and loss. Pure beauty."

Indie Pages says: "The band's a three-piece, consisting of guitar, keyboard and drums, though while listening to these songs, you'd never know they were mising a bass player, thanks to Jordan's clever synth parts. If I had to describe the band's songs in a word, it would have to be 'anthemic'. Between their big sound and the the catchy songs, it's impossible not to sing or shout along once you've got even a minor grasp of the lyrics (seriously - try sitting still to 'You Got A Heart' or 'What You Are'). Anyways, seek this band out!"

Brainwashed says: "I'm left completely confused listening to this album, trying to keep up with Dustin Krcatovich's wily, random sense of humor and creative, scattershot imagination. Musically, Krcatovich is ubiquitous. One moment his music is the product of exposure to home recordings and pop music and at another it is the product of listening to "Revolution 9" too many times."

SD City Beat says: "Dear Professor overflows with romance and whimsy, thanks in no small part to singer-guitarist Adam Powell’s allegorical lyrics and the band’s lush arrangements (vibraphone, banjo, accordion, horns, etc.). Play this when you propose to your cardigan-wearing, Neutral Milk Hotel-loving significant other."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Adam was a member of Red Pony Clock!"

PIAPTK says: "The debut release from Casiotone For the Painfully Alone's Owen Ashworth's new band, Advance Base is a split with his Vermont buddies in Hello Shark (voted one of the 50 best new bands in America by the Boston Phoenix). 2 tunes each, in hand-screened arigato paks with free digital download coupon. Limited Edition of 400 on mixed colored vinyl."

Indie Pages says: "As the title hints, this is a collection of home-recordings from the last few years from this Australian fellow. Some of his older songs on the first side remind me of the Marbles, except for his oldest one, "Cold Locked Cupboards", which is more in the quiet, acoustic Elliott Smith vein. His three songs from this year, however, are a lot closer to Grandaddy in their slower moments (especially the hushed vocals), with "Surely Enough" being a dead ringer (complete with cascading synth noises)."

PIAPTK blog says: "Check out Olin's new band, Au Dunes, at their Bandcamp and download their new EP, 73's and 88's for free. While Olin still writes and sings the songs for Au Dunes, the listless, drifting, melodies of Graves, have been replaced by a more upbeat swagger reminiscent of The VU or The Stones. Some of the tunes would fit in really well on a Nuggets compilation."

Curly Cassettes says: "Pop-Punkers from Boston move West to deliver this Beach Party straight to your face!"

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Good times music."

Gnome Life says: ""Subtle Body" summons songs from the subtle/energetic landscape of glorious California. Songs smuggled back from an astral hike through vibrational hills.

Recorded on a cassette tape with one mic at home, Bird By Snow takes a breather from recent studio excursions and returns to the lo-fi side of life with this EP. Turns out the old ways are still full of surprises, and the songs here ought to surprise you too... true to form it's not like any other BBS album. Simultaneously intimate and super spaced out, it kinda feels like the soundtrack to a lucid dream – one where you fly out over the ocean, and it just goes on and on and on!

(Pi) was chosen as the symbol for this album because it stands in for the theoretical number associated with the arc of a wave, "Subtle Body" has that same kind of slow unfolding."

Matt Adams says: "The Blank Tapes have a new split cassette release w/ Magic Leaves on Portland, Oregon's Curly Cassettes! Recorded mostly during the 'Home Away From Home' Sessions. Side A is Magic Leaves 'GLOW' & Side B is The Blank Tapes 'INVISIBLE COLORS'"

Talking Helps says: "Sprinkled with notions of indie pop, rock, and folk (one supposes), The Boyish Charms crafted the album with Roy Silverstein at The Habitat, a studio located in the Golden Hill section of San Diego, California. The seven-song release was completed in between Cam’s drumming obligations with The Finches. Based in Los Angeles and San Diego, the lads came together in Golden Hill, along with some friends, to deliver the alternately scorching/melodic/driving/nuanced set of songs."

Rok Lok says: "Based out of New Brunswick, NJ the power trio of Brick Mower has been a obsession of mine from the first second I heard their incredible "Floors EP" on Stumparumper Records and Viking On Campus. And with each subsequent release and live show since I was chomping at the bit for an opportunity to release some music for them. It is a honor and privilege to be able to be a part of sharing Brick Mower's rad music with the world. Brick Mower plays a brand of fuzzy guitar indie rock that I can't get enough of. If you dig catchy indie rock/punk stuff that is like Superchunk, New Sweet Breath, Small and fluf then say hello to your new favorite band. "Why Are We Doing This?" is limited to 200 copies and is packaged in fold over cover and includes a insert."

Folktale says: "Good things come to those who wait. This here is a long awaited follow up to Brother Mitya’s 2005 CDR “Melting Wax Daisies…”. It’s a collection of nine songs that were literally saved from the wreckage of a house fire that destroyed his home in Arcata, Ca. in February of 2008. The songs themselves are delicate and sound like they could break at any given moment. On this release he has a bit more direct and less raspy vocal delivery, a lot of times making the songs more catchy but at the same time not abandoning his incredibly unique vocal stylings either. Classical guitar with whispered lyrics, occasional accompaniment, and various sound collages, all soaked in a layer of warm, lo-fi hiss. Black cassettes with printed labels and color covers designed by Kristina Collantes with an insert that was saved from the flames."

Skyway says: "Out of some strange southern town, the ever-ecentric Mcalister emerges with yet another batch of off-key quirk-folk ramblings. Telling stories of a murdering bog man, plantation life, and yellow fever, these bizzare tunes annoy the hell out of most people but eventually grow on you if given the chance. This tape offers a well-edited and low-risk introduction to the mans fine work"

Unread Records says: "Seventeen offerings from the land locked king of banjo / guitar spazz. Flushed down with whiskey and rum. Immensely bizzare and compelling. Catchy and odd. Broken and homemade instruments, found sounds and music collage."

Plan It X says: "I met Andrew for the first time in person, at a house in Leamington Spa (UK). He rode his bike 40 miles so that he could play a show with my band, Imperial Can.

I [also] knew him through his letters and packages. He sent me regular demo CDs and great letters and comics and home made movies.I really like his style of songwriting."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Chris Clavin runs Plan It X Records and plays autobiographical songs on ukulele. Andrew Lips was on the 'Ukulele Mekulele Wekulele' comp on Lost Sound Tapes."

Life's Blood says: "Essence of song; poignant truths crooned; big beats and space synths making out with the delicate timbre of nylon strings. Chill, like summer. Self-confident but humbled. 14 micro-funk workouts for summer walks."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is Cole of Portland, Oregon aka Cole Milner aka Cole Miller aka Cole Moldy aka Will Smith aka ..."

Collapsing Opposites says: "Collapsing Opposites make loud arty rock and roll that would fit nicely on a mix tape with Talking Heads, The Fall, The Residents, and Half Japanese. Their songwriting canon explores issues of time, space, economics, meaning-making, growing-up, mental illness, and of course, the role and place of the artist in contemporary society. The group takes pride in considering their own political, economic and environmental impacts, and they try to be responsible musical citizens. Besides writing songs like Non-Profit Volunteer Band and 2008’s The Cost of Music, they also take action by playing mostly all-ages shows and spending countless hours volunteering with actual non-profits like the Safe Amplification Site Society."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is the first release from a very awesome label in Brazil called Pug Records! Keep an eye out for more, we'll be stocking their releases as they become available. It was originally released by Transfusao Noise Records in Brazil, we have some of their CDRs in the store as well."

Pug Records says: "Coloração Desbotada's debut, one of the greatest brazilian guitar records from the 00's. Whispered voices, perfect pop melodies and lots of feedback, in amazing lo-fi production. Recommended for fans of Built To Spill, My Bloody Valentine, Eric's Trip and Pixies. Loaded with bonus tracks."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is the definitive compendium of Dana Jewell tracks. It theoretically spans a full decade of material though I've been told that it's not quiiiite true. Dana Jewell gathers much inspiration from the playful folk of Jonathan Richman. Jewell is the man who runs Wild Animal Kingdom Records and also appears on a split cassette with Blanket Truth on Lost Sound Tapes."

Underwater Peoples says: "'Wants' by Dana Jewell is a collection of songs written and performed by one of our most introspective and romantic of friends. Dana's love of beautiful women and deep thought shines through on each hand wrought track. His vinyl solo-debut is guaranteed to get you feelin'. Dana is also the proud father of Wild Animal Kingdom Records."

Slanty Shanty says: "Limited run of 50!!!

Daniel Francis Doyle has been making guitar noise, drumming, and singing for over ten years as both a solo artist, and in groups both departed (Early Lines) and active (When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth). His birth-name moniker solo project is certainly the fiercest endeavor of his activities. Daniel accompanies his own live recorded guitar loops with powerfully tumbling drum beats while screaming and hollering through a headset that clings on for dear life. With so many "one-man bands" vying for your scant DIY dollars of late, it's hard to find one that actually pursues the idea beyond the realm of novelty. It isn't enough to just setup and knock out a set of bass drum and guitar tunes anymore. Doyle's intense live sets feature almost embarrassingly candid lyrical content combined with a voluminous guitar-scratch and feedback attack that pushes the solo concept into a loud and uncomfortable place, often leaving crowds confused and excited.

DAVIS HOOKER – AMIS
OZARKS – PYRAMIDS OF LOVE
LIMITED TO 500 COPIES
COMES WITH FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

You might be familiar with Davis Hooker who also performs/performed under the name A John Henry Memorial. He has also been involved with ...Worms, The Watery Graves of Portland, and Rob Walmart.

Robbie Augspurger (Ozarks) has a fragile voice comparable to John Ringhofer (Half-Handed Cloud) or a less manic Daniel Smith (Danielson Famile). Augspurger's songs are an inspired take on easy-going, 60's pop sentimentality.

Rok Lok says: "There has been a nice little renaissance if you will of great indie rock here on Long Island with new bands starting to sprout up who sound like they came via a time machine circa 1994. And one of those newer bands are none other than Deep Pockets. Formed by Matt and Darren of Everything Sucks , Conor of Thought & Memory and Justin (formerly of Gracer); Deep Pockets play jangly, melodic 90s styled indie rock that recalls bands like Pavement, Silkworm and Sebadoh. For months these sounds were stewing in a basement in Hicksville and now Deep Pockets are ready to share their four song demo with the world. This debut release is limited to 200 pro duped/imprinted fire engine red clam shell cassettes and packaged in full color j-cards with a blue swivel case. Comes with a download code. Split release with Just A Audial."

Friends and Relatives says: "this 5 song 7" was originally released through the short-lived, now defunkt 'lookalive' label and has been reissued through friends and relatives in an edition of 300. beginning with an underwater keyboard party co-hosted by david byrne and ending in a scree-scrawl of lo-fi noise, this is asheville's unwanted teenage pregnancy (something for everyone to deal with). to find out about their other releases (as well as a free downloadable "0, 1, 0, 1, 0...." digital version of these songs), check out searchwielder.com."

Friends and Relatives says: "a collection of lo-fi pop songs performed with a home-made garbage kit and a broken, unplugged electric guitar at the turn of the century. recorded onto a stereo cassette deck in a small bedroom outside of lansing, mi. comes with a 16 page comic book by josh spearow and mixed "swirl" color vinyl. (co-released: 'it's okay to smile records')"

Rok Lok Records says: "Taken from the same sessions as the material found on the split 7 inch with Weed Hounds, DUDE JAPAN is back with six song ep called 'Simple Living'. DUDE JAPAN continues to create their own blend of super melodic, buzzing guitar indie rock pop bliss culling influences from such bands as Velocity Girl, Superchunk, Further, Tiger Trap, and Built to Spill amongst others. 'Simple Living' is chock full of toe tapping and head bopping goodness! This is a limited edition of 100. This ep includes a Tiger Trap cover!
'Simple Living' will be released on cassette later this year by Lost Sound Tapes."

Rok Lok says: "Unlike our previous material where it was just to write songs that we wanted to hear and play with "The Things That Matter..." we consciously tried to put together a album where there was a flow and every song's relationship to one another made sense. We couldn't be prouder, we feel we have created a varied album beginning to end. "The Things That Matter" is a story of triumph, tragedy, hope, fear, longing and love. Fear not indie rock fans; Dude Japan have not gone prog or anything like that. The same buzzing guitar, catchy Superchunk meets Velocity Girl meets Further meets Built to Spill indie pop rock is still there but with a bit more variety. We think you'll enjoy it. "The Things That Matter..." features artwork by Book Store bassist Jonathan Kaplan who previous did the artwork for the "Teenage Summer EP". This is a limited cd pressing of 300 copies and all CDS come packaged in a jewel case with full color artwork and a tray card."

Splendid says "In a nasal Mountain Goats spoken/sung delivery, Scott Jacobson, aka Ehrlichman (Watergate?), gives an intimate look at his life and his songwriting. With only guitar, keyboard, drum machine and the magic of four-track production, Jacobson manages to charm. His lyrics are concerned with a small town upbringing, and rocky love affairs that can both cut to the heart and make you wince once or twice. What this collection lacks in polish, it easily makes up in raw honesty. Jacobson has a ready ear for melody and he exploits it expertly through minimal keyboard lines and dubbed guitar leads that do much to overcome the bare bones style. The sound quality is poor, but the songs are strong."

Myspace says: "Over the years, Michelle has become increasingly outraged by women’s role in music, especially in the rock community. Hence, she set out to try and change the perception that they cannot deliver anything other than a transparent love song with one guitar and her voice. Though Michelle’s background is rooted in Central New Jersey’s punk rock community, everyone except me’s music is almost entirely acoustic and very anarcho-folk oriented. EEM plays shows and open mics, but plays most often on Philadelphia street corners. Everyone except me is willing to play anywhere at anytime for little or no pay (I will play your living room, basement, attic, backyard, that little room you've got underneath the stairs, under a bridge, behind a dumpster, in your car, on your favorite steet corner, or wherever), just for the love of music."

Musical Mathematics says: "What I love about FSTT is the way they manage to create their own unique brand of garage noise, and with a distinct level of professional consideration, they manage to get it just right. The combination of gritty guitars and drums with passionate vocals, much like the early days of Weezer, is littered throughout this EP and no more evident than in their third track ‘When I’m Tall’. Ending with a beautiful and light guitar melody that suitably captures and carries you into the following track."

Puzzle Pieces says: "Out of Boston, Massachusetts (Somerville to be exact), Four Eyes play emotionally raw indie rock in the vein of Dinosaur Jr. with a dose of twinkle in their riffage. This band got its start in the summer of 2009 as Nick, Dan, and Will obsessed over the second Teenage Cool Kids LP, though they didn't play their first show until November of that year. Four Eyes are approaching life as a seasoned band with Towards the End of Cosmic Loneliness, their second 7". Featuring members of Daniel Striped Tiger and Tussin. Download here"

Off Tempo says: "The newest album by Arizona's French Quarter, Desert Wasn't Welcome, marks the fourth full-length release by 23-year-old songwriter Stephen Steinbrink. While French Quarter has been primarily a solo recording project for countless tours and a deluge of small run tapes, cd-rs, and vinyl, Desert Wasn’t Welcome marks the first collaborative recorded effort of Steinbrink and his long-time live band.

Aiming to craft an album that captured the feeling of a live French Quarter show, Steinbrink, with bassist Preston Bryant and drummer Chase Kamp, completed Desert Wasn't Welcome in three days from May 18-20, 2011. Recorded initially to 2" tape by Bob Schwenkler at the perennial Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, WA, and joined on Piano and Keyboards by Andrew Dorsett of LAKE, Desert Wasn't Welcome showcases Steinbrink's most sincere, focused, and accessible pop music to date."

Stumparumper says: "'Winter Mange' is Fuck Montreal's debut vinyl release after countless previous releases on just about every other kind of media available (tape, cdr, vhs, who knows what else?), and it's a stunner. Over 14 minutes of music is crammed onto this small platter, taking full advantage of a format that is too often relegated to carrying 4 minutes of music...TOTAL. This is rare music - one reviewer compared FM to Blood on the Wall, the Swirlies, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Harvey Milk, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, and the Unicorns, all in a single review. It is music that comes from a space that you or I can't know...it has always been here, and will still be around for download after everyone's gone. There is nothing in the way except the sound."

Dead Broke Records says: "Whiney, snotty, poppy as shit pop-punk achin’ to The Bananas from Boston, MA. We're releasing this demo recorded last year.

Life's Blood says: "Melancholic noise, dance music, and the weird space in between. Endlessly textured and contorted electronic drones that ebb and flow, building up to huge-sounding and surprising cadences that crash like sleet and hale; four-on-the-floor club-ready jams: unselfconsciously, infectiously, and fundamentally pop. And, a Casiotone For The Painfully Alone cover."

PIAPTK Blog says: "As is pretty typical of the more recent Graves records (Easy Not Easy (one of my favorite albums of all time), Seldom Slumber), Summr Bummr really plays with the traditional idea of how albums are "supposed to be". There are tunes that repeat with minor variations (O O O Around The World), instrumental reprises, and complete reworkings of tunes into alternate versions (Lazer Show and Hollywood).

Summr Bummr seems to be a concept album about coming into adulthood. Lyrical themes of homework, missing the bus, skipping class, mailing thank you notes, etc help recall the excitement and uncertainty of the summer after high school graduation, without ever becoming cheesy or overly nostalgic."

Three different cassette tape covers available, collect them all!

Dying For Bad Music says: "It's raining cats and dogs right now, I am far away from beaches and sand and I hate the whole beach/surf garage sounds right now. Because I am not on beaches in California not even on the Baltic Sea. By the way - The Great Valley's record reflect this feeling very good. It's more like sitting in a cellar with just a dripping water pipe. No feelings of sun and beaches, just a weird nightmare about that. Well done! Spooooooky! Tip: Lucky Me!"

Dead Broke Records says: "4 Song Cassette Tape of totally awesome killer lo-fi basement punk rock from members of: Shang-a-lang, Marked Men & Hidden Spots! Comes with download link and limited mini-poster! (Split Release w/ Dirt Cult Records) 1st press: 100 Blue Tapes. 2nd press: 100 Blue Tapes."

Life On An Island says: "An amazing record from a few years back by Long Island-based rockers Haircut. Our dusty songs vol. 2, taking a much deserved look back at some great songs! 10 tracks, pro-printed white tapes, packed into beautifully grungy looking, hand-printed sleeves."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Grungy hardcore punk! Yeah!"

Spooky Town says: "Vermont's unstoppable faux-pop Family follows up their amazing Feeding Tube LP Hotel Double Tragedy with this amazing sequel tape! The Return of Hotel Double Tragedy gives you more of what you know you need. Brilliant, bleak, inspired songwriting; deep layers of messy grooviness; tape loop meditations; and actual real rock n roll vibes! 14 songs for soul-searching or for wildfooting or for lucid dreaming, on really shiny gold tapes! Edition of 200, C44, $5+shipping."

"Horowitz and cassettes have a long history. Back in the early 2000s, Pete was a member of Trilemma, a self-professed “glo-fi” outfit headed up by Rob Jones (Venus Beads/Exit Condition). Most of the Trilemma stuff, including their amazing Crowded Wilderness 7” EP on Kitchen Records, was recorded on a Tascam 8-track cassette machine. Fast-forward to 2004 and the first Horowitz EP. 30 cassette copies. We just couldn’t let it lie. I wonder if anyone still has one? If you do, let us know! Anyway, we hope you enjoy this record as much as we enjoyed making it. A lot of love has gone into the Fika recordings project – a passion that mirrors our own love for cassettes – and we think it shows."

Limied edition of 100 handmade cassettes. Come with Jasmine & flowers tea, cake recipe and download code.

iji says: "I finished a new iji album. It's called "Cool Dream". It's all new songs that we have been playing around Seattle lately and some that I played on my short west coast solo tour with Megabog in January. The Songs are different then anything I have done before in allot of ways. I feel like I put way more thought and energy into the structure, arrangements and lyrics, and in the studio (my bedroom) we did a lot of posi-friendship-witchcraft to ensure that a good vibe bleeds through the final mixes. The album prominently features our new horn section which I am really excited about. Fred Thomas of Saturday Looks Good To Me and City Center mastered the album."

Zach from iji says: "'Bird-Man Movement Team' documents some new sounds and styles we have been experimenting with. Each song features vastly different vibes and textures, from the electro-funk feeling of the song 'Viber', not unlike my recent side project release 'Zachary David Jammin Get Free All The Time', to the noisy live goof-ball breakdown in the the albums last song “Whatever”. One idea that brings these songs together is the idea of using the Bass Guitar as the featured instrument throughout. Most prominent on the intro of 'Wavy One' which happens to be about my two best friends and band members Erin Birgy (Mega Bog) and Shelby Turner (Sundance Kids). Singing some new songs, feeling some new feelings. I hope you love this because I had so much fun making it!"

Limited to 500 copies, clear green vinyl, hand stamped labels.

Cody Django says: "Zach Burba is a heroic figure: investigating shadows, courting spooky feelings and asking tough questions; the fearless leader of a ragtag group of troubadours, each adding exponentially to the party.

YERSELF is indie-pop that nods to new-wave, funk and soft rock, to be shelved next to Talking Heads or The Unicorns — that is, if I had plans to take it out of my record player. A weirdo pop classic, destined to be played ad nauseum, forever."

Cereal Records says: "This cassette was recorded in one full day. Half of the album in a small sized living room in Sammamish, Washington and the other half recorded on a reel-to-reel 24 track in an old fire department building (the Department of Safety) in Anacortes, Washington. Songs like 'Sebadoh' and 'Lake Union' bring heavy overtone and thought-out musical placement, while lo-fi songs like 'Candle Wax Fires' and 'Half My Head' give the album a genuine homemade feel."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This release definitely has an Unread Records feel - stripped down, bedroomy, acoustic, folk pop. Authentic."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "2 song cassingle from Redmond, WA's Inchworms aka Gio of Cereal Records. The two best Inchworms tracks to date, NB is a summertime jam that makes you wanna bask in the pacific northwest sunshine and the B-side is a melodic, trebly, instrumental named after a NW good guy. Guitar and drums, simple lo-fi indie pop. Sounds like it's straight out of 1994 with vocals recorded in the bathroom. Each track gets one side of tape and plays twice. Why? I dunno, but it's just crazy enough to work."

Last.fm says: "Jake Lazovick plays all things sweet, sad, happy, and amazing. Hopefully you'll smile and better yet hopefully you'll make a new friend."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "A full length album about being a teenager and trying to figure out how to live your life. Borrows a line or two from Paul Baribeau."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This fine cassette tape is a split between James Rabbit and Just Another Snake Cult! James Rabbit you might remember from the most excellent Lost Sound Tapes release 'Continental/Cavalier'. Just Another Snake Cult is Thor Andersen, who is a former member of James Rabbit as well as being involved with Monsters From Mars and others. Two 16 minute EPs on either side of the tape, the James Rabbit side is titled 'Pangea/iji Split' and Just Another Snake Cult's EP is titled 'Elliot Fucking Smith's Greatest Hits Remixes'. Art by Joel Allen Davenport of Olympia, WA."

Bring Back The Magic says: "Justin's side is 6 or so short songs played with acoustic guitars, toys, and sometimes just his voice. Some of my favorite lo-fi songs. Andrew's side is 2 acoustic songs that are more like you might expect acoustic songs to sound like. So good."

Friends and Relatives says: "gal & lad sing songs of adventure and cardboard boxes, 'you get it, you want it' from madison, wi + brooklyn, ny. while justin offers a live recording of "water breate" recorded in portland, me last september while on tour matty pop chart (who also plays violin and does the voice of "response-to-friend") "hand in the sand" styled nylon-stringed secrets."

Shmat says: "This is a great, folksy release of 8 songs in the vein of East River Pipe and Galaxie 500. And like F.M. Cornog from ERP, Huelbig has a knack for using otherwise cheesy effects such as reverb/echo in such classy way. In his hands, the effects and layering of instruments become folk interpreters that help bring out the best in the tracks; the slight droning guitar chords start to sadly shimmer a bit more than normal and the atmosphere gets pensively rustic. The Shmat was highly pleased with the beautiful, windswept character of this release. Out on Monotone Recordings."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is a solid desert folk album. Reminds me a lot of Golden Boots. The disc was self released by the band with handmade covers"

La Panther Happens says: "Each CDR includes handmade, unique cover art featuring cigarette smoking cowboys, skeletons, spirit animals and various other fine wonders. No two are alike."

Indie Pages says: "Lil' Hospital go from a nice bedroom pop project to a good pop band to a veritable indiepop powerhouse, only to have them break up right at their prime. And we only get a measly 5-song EP on the way out! Lil' Hospital have improved in every way: Kevin's songs and playing are both better, and the band (now a trio, rounded out by Mat Specific Heats and Frank Besties) are tighter and punchier than ever."

Slanty Shanty says: "Thanks for looking at my album. LIMA was a rebellion I had over 5 years ago. As the years progressed I guess I did too. Wanting a band I decided to grab only my closest friends, one of which was my wife, and do some touring, calling it, LIMA RESEARCH SOCIETY. Eventually folks move on, and LIMA RESEARCH SOCIETY lost two amazing core members to their own understandable aspirations. So it’s LIMA again.

BROTHERSISTER is my first album back as just LIMA. It was truly a wonderful experience to make. There’s something about jumping around like a child in your bedroom hooting and hollering, thinking that you can change the world as a thirty year old man that was very therapeutic.

Also! Enjoy the three bonus tracks at the end of the tape, exclusive to this release.

Running Time: 46 Minutes"

I’d had the idea of swedish indiepop songs about swedish indiepop for quite some time, and Andreas was the perfect partner for this project. We translated our favourite namedropping songs and wrote some of our own (as you might have noticed, the song Andreas is a cover of my song Andrew, I thought I was quite witty when I came up with it).

I can’t remember who played what when and where, but I have a strong memory of Andreas playing saxophone in a hearing test room in the basement of our school, and I know I was quite happy with my bass playing somewhere at my work one late night. Does it really matter? We did it together, with a little help from Lars Diurlin and Emmy Hogstrom-Tagesson. Thank you!

Limited run of 100, this is a handmade cassette and comes with a tea selected by Lisa Bouvier and a cake recipe, to fulfil the Fika concept. Includes download code.

Gnome Life says: ""Black Grass" is Little Wings' most recent studio album, released early 2011 on LP & CD, and now for the first time on cassette tape (+Mp3). It is the first Little Wings record in a few years and it swells and sweeps with high tides and instantly immortal jams.

Recorded/produced with Tim Bluhm (Mother Hips) the tunes on "Black Grass" are widely varried in style and sound, but the thread of a particularly rare light and beauty is here throughout. Fresh arrangements and some tight playing and production make a handsome a table for Kyle Field's (A.K.A. Little Wings) feast of lyrics... maybe his best ever. Truly a delight to listen to, and our to honor present this fine album on an antiquated format.

This volume of Echomancy is a water drop, which is the logo of RAD, Kyle's label that released "Black Grass" on LP & CD. In Kyle's words: "it's like the minor sponsor of the tape, like a surfer's leash sponsor."

Listen to "Gold Teeth"

Burger Records says: "Catchy rock n roll tunes from La Mirada's The Lovely Bad Things! Yer gonna have these songs going through your head all day and all night! Great boy/girl harmonies and catchy choruses! CHECK IT!

250 cassettes pressed ( 100 on clear / 150 on yellow)."

Madeline Ava says: "Hey! My second full-length is out now. I am very excited about this and care more about these songs than any others that I’ve made. Thanks for caring.

Recorded in 2012. Mostly songs about living in Swannanoa."

Mango Nebula says: "Manners is the man Greg Beson, sometimes called Beesun Greggy, The Son of Bees, or Honey Photosynthesis.

The sounds center around meditative guitar and Greg's whispery-as-the-wind vocals. It's spiritually nostalgic like deja vu in reverse, the music already familiar with you.

'Breath of Your Heart' and 'Knives' are both tragically beautiful. The latter having the shivering line "I wear a coat of knives. Try and hold me." Although, It's good to know that if you're ever out a need a knife, you can always get one from Greg's coat."

Fraction Discs says: "'Love Is Something I Know Nothing About' is the highly anticipated fourth single from this fab indiepop quartet from Oxnard, California. Just as the case is with the YAY! label, Maria too just keeps getting better and better with every new release! On this lovely three track 7” single every song is an a-side and a reason to bounce around quite frenetically! If you’re into jangly pop with boy/girl vocals and if you’ve ever fancied bands like Orange Juice, The Pastels, Cause Co-Motion!, Sea Lions or Second-Hand Furniture you’ll soon have Maria spinning on that turntable of yours. Comes with a Maria poster. Highly recommended!"

Slanty Shanty says: "A rare dual EP cassette (only 100 in existence.) Total running time about 20 minutes.

Side 1 - Pitchfork 9.2/10 All 4 tracks from an upcoming 7" due out in July, including 3 never-released-before tracks and an awesome 8-bit version of 'Why Didn't You Get A Haircut'

Side 2 - Tour de Friends EP
Out of print EP from the 2009 US tour. Includes one exclusive song and 4 demo recordings of your favorite jams from 'Don't Worry'"

Gnome Life says: "May "Okay Human" welcome you to an effortless groove space, a dimension populated with glorious word forms, turns-of-phrase simultaneously alien and familiar, profound and playful – "My board, it crumbles in a heavy ocean weeze. I met my new best friend while crawling to my knees" – So what's it sound like?

"Okay Human" sounds like a show at your paleolithic cave/community-center. It's eleven songs that will reach you on many interpenetrating levels – make you dance, sing along, ponder, laugh – all with a kind of chilled-out grace.

Mega Bog is from Seattle, but these tunes migrate from San Diego to Vancouver every 30 minutes... blend the whole west coast together and you've got the right habitat for this dubby and golden, deep and distant album. This radical tape comes in mono, and the mp3's are in stereo, room sound in tact in both glorious formats."

Spooky Town says: "Northern California's Mountainhood has a long long long discography, and we're psyched about the latest. Shine Shine is sometimes sweet folk songs, sometimes a wild party (like a bunch of horsemen dancing around a stump), and just about always full of plenty of goblin voices. Take it on your roadtrip and get nostalgic about redwoods and the moon. With an 8-page minibook of art by Michael Hilde. edition of 200, C38."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "The tape you may have heard about but only in passing and you never actually saw a hard copy. This is Nana Nemo! It's a home spun collaboration between Theo from Nana Grizol and Ian from Welcome Home Nemo. Cute drawing of a drunk duck on the cover with professional looking white tapes with green imprinting. Worth buying for 'Playground Song' alone. Two ducks walk into a bar..."

Indie Pages says: "Wow, Mike sure has come a long way from the Mathlete records from a couple years ago. Heck, I'd even say this sounds better than the cd he just put out! This five song ep has a more natural sound, with acoustic based songs, augmented with clean electric guitar, organ (and I don't mean a Casio), and tambourines and other assorted percussion."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is one of the best bedroom folk pop EPs of all time! Buy this, it's a classic. Mike Downey also used to be in the band WOLFIE. 'The Light, The Heat' has a chorus about the movie 'Say Anything'. What are you waiting for??"

Life On An Island says: "Limited edition of 50 cassettes, the last release by Neato Fleets (solo-project of Frances Chang, also of Giant Peach). 10 tracks recorded over the past few years, comes on pro-printed green/neon pink cassettes w/ full-color insert! We've very few of these left."

Life On An Island says: "Full-length from Fran Chang's (of Giant peach) solo-project finished up in 2009. Real beautifully home-recorded versions of a lot of tracks that soon after evolved into Giant Peach songs, as well as a bunch of others! 10 tracks, lo-fi fuziness, emotional and melodic in every right way. Each screen-printed and assembled by hand, we have just a handful of these left."

Obeast Tapes says: "Nicole Kidman is Jon Barba of Ports o Call fame. The dude has been a huge boon to the burgeoning West Covina underground music scene booking many shows at his home, and releasing music zines and mixtapes to a pretty broad audience. Nicole Kidman is his venture into the world of weirdo-folk, 90s emo rock, and partly demented but wholly compelling song writing. Those who know Jon will understand what I mean when i say this tape is Miley-Centric, those who don’t will surely figure it out with one listen. But dont stop at one listen, his songs are catchy and inspiring. He lifts you up by dragging himself down. Like jesus, we all owe him some serious playthroughs. Comes with full color art on a double-sided jcard with full lyric inserts. Second run ltd to 50."

Life On An Island says: "tracks recorded live by NY-based trio NUDE BEACH back in November of 2010. Pro-printed and dubbed by hand, limited to 60 copies! We are now sold out of these, thank you to everyone who supported this project."

Dead Broke Records says: "Melodic, catchy, & even surf-ey pop punk/rock from Brooklyn, NY."

Outside The Museum says: "Nine songs self-recorded in an apartment on the outskirts of Paris in between April and October 2010. Birds, trains and creaky wooden chairs in the distance."

God Is In The TV says: "This is a neat little record, most of the song's are simple and charming and Catt's vocals blend well with his perky guitar playing; there are hints at experimentation here and the idea that he could begin to blend these styles together is exciting. Despite being a little disjointed at times this is an absolutely lovely piece of work."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is Ben from Ghosts. Check out this new tape!"

Outside The Museum says: "The first ten songs by Outside The Museum, recorded one weekend in January 2010. Quiet storytelling with thunderstorm overdubs."

Wil-Ru Records says: "This EP is the first official release by Ebi Nasution also known as Panda Beach. Ebi recorded these songs on a cell phone at her home in Jakarta Indonesia between May and August of 2009. Beautiful mellow and atmospheric folk music reminiscent of Sybille Baier, Vashti Bunyan and Kazu Makino. Track one "Boom" was fleshed out by Chariots of Night with mellotron sounds, bells and drum samples making it more of a pop track than the rest of the EP is available as a CD-R and Cassette Tape, and comes with a 320 kbps mp3 download."

Tracks: 1. Boom 2. River 3. Deeper 4. Dying Snail Sings 5. Gravity 6. Build An Ocean 7. I Will Not Pray

Indiepages says: "Three songs each from Park and A Boy Named Thor, two lo-fi indiepop one-man bands. I shouldn't say lo-fi, though, as these songs sound like they were actually recorded pretty well (no hiss or noise). The Park songs are much better than most of the stuff I've previously heard from him (well, except the third one, which is about 30 seconds of scrapy noise). He plays casio-pop along with guitars, piano and double-tracked vocals. On the flip are three more great songs from A Boy Named Thor, which is jangly acoustic-based pop, reminding me of Tullycraft. His high-pitched voice takes a little getting used to, but I got used to it long ago. Nice handmade watercolored covers, too."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "A truly special release! Pedagogues is the solo, home recording project of Aaron from Bad Fate (now defunct badass Canadian rockers). He takes cues from early Sebadoh, Moon Socket, and Eric's Trip to create bedroom guitar rock anthems. It's got all the right elements in place: tape hiss, growling guitars, weird sounds, layers of fuzz, and a very sharp sense of melody without necessarily being sweet. Oh yeah, Aaron also runs the label Radical Clatter.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

Slanty Shanty says: "Penny Hill is an alter ego of Norman, Oklahoma's Hilary Pitchlynn, but shhh... don't tell anyone. Hesitant to ever step on a stage, Penny wrote songs late at night in her bedroom long before ever letting anyone in. Her poetic lyrics, wandering melodies, and penetrating vocals create songs that are somehow larger than their component parts. A self-taught guitarist, Penny Hill is not interested or motivated by theory, she prefers to just let the instrument speak.

Life experience and emotional honesty is the cornerstone of Penny Hill's sincere songwriting. Either solo or with a backing band, Penny's songs have the power to speak to the hearts of her audience and draw them into her world of passion and mysticism. Beneath the surface of her sounds are hints of another world, full of beautiful and melancholy mysteries. To witness her perform is more like visiting an oracle than going out to a show.

40 Minutes Running Time"

Don't Stop Believin' says: "Luke and Stacy met while helping a friend move a stereo. Then Stacy became Luke's Electrician Apprentice. Then she wasn't. Then they became roommates in Interbay. Now they have a band called PONY TIME. Huzzah!"

Tummy Rock says: "Poor School plays banging improv, punk, noise jazz. This tape release delivers a lo-fi, bombastic live set from the now defunct Raven Cafe in Missoula, MT. This show Poor School shared the bill with usaisamonster. The band was however coaxed into closing the night for fear their banging drums, wailing sax, and distorted guitar would scare away the crowd. This tape can be a 24 Minute Cassingle since it has only one song on it. However the B-side will take you to an unfamiliar memory from the A-Side. Hand Painted and limited to 100 tapes, this is one noisy treat."

Le Horror Records says: "Debut six-song tape from Tempe artist The Prevailing Nothing. Minimal guitar and eerie vocals.

The Prevailing Nothing is Brett Thomas.

Skinny fingers, full voice. Limited edition of 100."

Secret Pennies says: "Six songs from Hi Ho Silver, Away! (catchy, melodic, occasionally folky punk from La Quinta/Santa Barbara, California) and seven songs from Quick Attack (energetic lo-fi pop punk from Santa Barbara) together forever on a fancy digipak CD released by Skulltula Records. MRR says this is "nerdy, jangly pop punk" for fans of Plan-It-X Records-type bands."

PIAPTK says: "A Split 7" from the REAL godfather of uber-prolific, home recorded, pseudo-brit-pop and his buddy, Billy Anderson.

Comes on colored vinyl in hand-screened and spray painted Arigato paks, and includes instant 320 kbps MP3 downloads. Limited Edition of 400 copies. Jukebox style records (large hole 45 rpm)."

Butterxface says: "Hey ladies. That is a REDBEAR. He roams the woods just outside of La Grange, Illinois and creates magnificent recordings. His voice reminds the girls here of Dave Longstrength/Dirty Projectors--spastic jumps around the scales leave our heads spinning and our bras coming undone. Live, patrick (aka Redbear), belts out these propulsive jams, banging on his guitar, whooping and wailing and generally pounding the shit out of his instrument. the ladies here love animal music (generally) and animal bands (generally) and Redbear definitely fits this criteria.

Shmat says: "The first 8 songs on Campaign To Kill The Sparrows are like tiny mystical thought fragments encased in tape hiss and an abstract tapestry of spoken and sung phrases. I only had a walkman to play this stuff with. So through headphones, the variety of vocal pannings was almost disorienting. When Doyle slurs almost drunkenly on the pretty 'Rookie Valentine #2', it only serves to heighten the honesty and heartfelt nature of the material on this tape. The second side continues the more formulated song trend, proving to be nice and compact folk/pop ditties. For those who need concrete comparisons, i could throw out a couple names: Palace Brothers, maybe a little Half Japanese. I don't think Doyle will ever be accused of being boring."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "'Nice Hat' is the debut single for the Northwest's finest 4-piece (non-)surf punx, released by Prty Ngg Records. Crunchy rhythm guitar, piercing lead guitar, straight ahead bass, thumping drums, and 4-part harmonies. The hit song 'Graces' is on the A-side with two tracks on the B-side 'Area Zeroes' and 'We Want The Fun'."

Prty Ngg says: "lo-fi party for fans of surfing, eric's trip, and running wild. mastered by local heartthrob fred thomas this 7" is guaranteed to knock yr socks off and make you wanna boogie."

Rok Lok Records says: "Amazing West Coast lo fi indie surf punk. For fans of Eric's Trip, The Beach Boys, Husker Du, Cause Co-Motion, and early Tullycraft. The tape on Fox Pop Recording Co has been blowing my mind for months now and I can't get it to leave my tape deck."

Rok Lok Records says: "Sandy City play upbeat lo fi indie/surf punk that is a cross between Cause Co-Motion!, Eric's Trip. Crayon, and the Beach Boys. I even hear some early Tullycraft in here. Solid stuff. The record is limited to 300 pieces and is a one sided 12 inch with a silk screen on the b-side. It is packaged in a fold over black & white cover and includes an insert with a download link. Members of Blanket Truth, Patience Please, iji, Premise Beach, Sure Toss, and many more."

Stumparumper says: "6 songs, nearly 13 minutes of music made especially for Scribbler's extensive Canadian tour in March. One side beautiful and moving folk, the other an electrified aural thrashing of your senses. Is it really the same band? This long-playing 7" does an excellent job of evoking the excitement of seeing the band live or at work with a 4-track - the rawness of the music, the snide comments of the audience, and the emotion put forth by the band. One is able to hear the many sides of Scribbler on only 2 sides of wax.

Edition of 300 (half of which went to the band) on black vinyl with hand-silkscreened and numbered jackets and hand-drawn labels."

Skatterbrain says: "The Sea Lions hail from from YAY! Records' home turf of Oxnard, CA and are fronted by Adrian Pillado. They play quick, shambling pop songs that will not only make your little POP heart just melt away to nothing, but will leave you flailing about wildly on the dance floor before you even knew what hit you! Reading down the song titles on the single, you get a pretty solid idea of what The Sea Lions are all about: "Let's Groove" on a "Beautiful Day" with "Good Feelings" – Cheesy or not, having listened to both "Beautiful Day" and "Good Feelings", oh, about 15 times now, I can safely vouch for that being spot-on!"

Obeast Tapes says: "The Sea Lions / Handglops split showcases two groups that reside on opposite ends of the country, as well as opposite ends of the pop spectrum. Sea Lions will inevitably remind you of the feelings of exuberance that came along with those early adolescent experiences such as kissing girls, getting high, acting dumb and acting cool all while wearing an ear to ear smile. Handglops reflects the opposite in that it will remind you of those bummed out, confused moments when your identity and morality become blurred, basically the bad times. All of the songs on this tape are as contagious as H1N1, but way more fun to dance to. Each tape comes hand numbered with full color, fold out, reversible j-cards and color labels on clear tapes. Limited to 100."

Cereal Records says: "Master + Johnson are experimental punk at its most inventive and interesting. They write cryptic masterpieces in weird periods of time, ranging from 30 seconds to 7 minutes. Master + Johnson are totally addictive space punk from another nexus in our time continuum.

Songs written by 3 young lads growing into manhood; Song's about the pressers tof teenhood, the fun that goes along with it, girl trouble, yearning and everything in between. Perfect in a strange and endearing way. Seahouse are a perfect variety of lo-fi,hi-fi,no-fi,go-fi, young -fi punk rock music. Check them out and enjoy their youhful revolution of fun."

Womenfolk says: "Every once in awhile, you’ll listen to something by an artist you’re completely unfamiliar with and suddenly, your ears perk up and you begin to listen a bit more closely, a bit more intently. And then suddenly, you’re in love. Meet Shenandoah Davis... possessing a style that lives somewhere within the blurry boundaries of neo-classicism, Davis' music has been likened to that of harpist Joanna Newsom, although Davis' key instrument is the piano. At times sparse and thankfully gloss-free, Davis' songs feel as if they've lived in another century and fought their way back to the present day in order to tell their amazing stories."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Highly recommended and comes with a digital download code."

Off Tempo says: "Shenandoah Davis covers Are You Devo? by Shelby Sifers (side A) and This is the Life by Paleo (side B).

With love from Shenandoah: Screen-print cover on 80lb cover cardstock, white vinyl; includes digital download code; 45 rpm."

Unread Records says: "All new four way split of pop and circumstances. Slow late night strums, and afternoon pick ups. 15 or so odd minutes each, give or take. Everything from handheld sing-song acoustic strum, to soaked silver oxcide mystery. All unreleased and exclusive. Fancy covers. Kinda."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "New EP from The Soft City! 4 tracks (stories) by Phil Sutton and company. Very limited edition of 150 copies, includes digital download."

Ear Drum says: "I guess you can call The Soft City an “indiepop supergroup” with former members of bands like Comet Gain, Kicker, Ladybug Transistor, A Boy Named Thor and Crystal Stilts."

Stream their CD and 7" on SoundCloud

Ear Drum says: "I guess you can call The Soft City an “indiepop supergroup” with former members of bands like Comet Gain, Kicker, Ladybug Transistor, A Boy Named Thor and Crystal Stilts. The band started as the solo project of Phil Sutton (Comet Gain, Kicker). The Soft City is no longer a solo-project, but a full band. Dora Lubin’s strong vocals remind me of someone, but I really can’t tell who. It’s someone good, I know that much.

The Soft City’s self-titled debut-album is full of lovely pop songs with great melodies and jangly guitars. When I listen to these songs, I get the same feeling as I do when I listen to songs by The Go-Betweens and especially the ones Grant McLennan wrote. They may be upbeat and happy, but there’s always some kind of thoughtful melancholy beneath the happy melodies."

Rok Lok Records says: "'Nine Untitled Songs' is the first Stars Are Insane release since 2001's out of print 'Gay' and was written to have it's compositions selected for use in an original film. Following in the tradition of previous Stars Are Insane releases the songs captured here showcase a wide palette of minimalistic ambient sounds that linger and slowly ebb and flow to create songs out of mere washes of sound. Taking nods from such shoegazing noise torch bearers My Bloody Valentine as well as contemporary atmospheric indie rock giants as Explosions in the Sky, Stars Are Insane is able to take sounds and found melodies that may be deemed useless by the casual songwriter and cultivates such lush compositions that bears more resemblance to atmospherics rather than just songs. “Nine Untitled Songs” should serve as primer to new fans and as an aural listening pleasure to long time fans of this cult four track recording project. Each one comes in an intricate handmade package. Made in two separate pressings of 50 with varying colors of sleeves for a total of 100."

Rok Lok says: "I started writing the bulk of these songs around late 2004/2005 but after many false starts and scrapped recordings, the album I conceptualized is a reality. The music found on "A Plan...A Perfect Disaster" retains many of the signature Stars Are Insane shoegaze meets folk sonic ethos however the focus on this album is subtlty. For fans of Dump, Sentridoh, My Bloody Valentine, Sun Kil Moon, Red House Painters, etc. Each one of these hand stamped cd-rs are packaged in a hand painted gate fold cd wallet in a plastic sleeve and each is numbered. This is a limited pressing of 50 copies."

"Condensed Nothing is a new album by Stephen Steinbrink, recorded at home. His 3rd album in under a year, written after a massive 2-month tour in support of the last album he recorded with French Quarter, Desert Wasn’t Welcome. Heavily featuring Steinbrink’s current exploration into strange guitar tunings, which results in a focused, textural and sincere batch of pop songs. Released by Holy Page of Tempe, AZ. For fans of Nick Drake, Culture Club, Neil Young, Kate Bush."

Shmat says: "Presented here are two humble folk songs from New Jersey's The Stoves, comprised of Ryan Doyle and Kevin Huelbig, Jr. 'Come On Along' has a laid back feel that sounds sort of like the Kings of Convenience but while those Norwegian balladeers often sing their harmonies straight up using thirds, The Stoves employ a sort of threaded call and response to create a nicely bleak voicing, almost like stream of consciousness talking. But 'Speechless' has more of a shoegazey rather than folk feel to it and might feel right at home on a Field Mice album. Again, the two voices rotate to provide a nice counterpoint against both strumming and picking from the acoustic guitar. Good stuff."

Sound On The Sound says: "Seattle’s Strong Killings is pure rock band, favoring volume, screams, and and overflowing punk energy with a bit of a sly wink. Seattle’s been on a good trend of taking themselves less seriously lately and just letting loose, these gents at their best provide the Northwest with their own raucous answer to the Black Lips. This is the band that without a doubt I want to cap off my Friday night with."

Last.fm says: "Super Famicom is an Florida-based DIY musician named PJ who doesn’t call himself a singer-songwriter or a one-man band, but rather prefers the term “imaginary band” because the rest of the band has to happen inside the listener’s head. A 'greatest' 'hits' album has been compiled at CLLCT and can be downloaded here: http://cllct.com/release/myfavoritesuperfamicomsongs"

Yay! says: "Get ready to wear your heart on your sleeve with these jangly tunes from this fabulous LA quartet that will have you jumping with joy!"

Finest Kiss says: "Horns, horns, horns! It’s easy to forget how much a great horn line in a song can just put it over the top. This ranks up there with Brideshead's Real Art as a killer pop song with a more killer horn hook."

Talking Helps says: "Ryan Woods (Defiance, Ohio), Toby Foster, Theo Hilton (Defiance, Ohio & Nana Grizol) and Clyde Petersen (Your Heart Breaks) come together on one album to present brand new songs and revisit a few classics. Theo, Ryan, Toby and Clyde bring you songs of adventure, travel, love, loss and heartbreak with special emphasis on survival and change. A RECORD BY QUEERS: FOR ADVENTURERS."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "A wonderful split release between two folky ukulele singer songwriters.5 songs from Tinyfolk and 5 songs from Wisdom Tooth. A good tape to take on the go for adventuring."

Toby Foster says: "This is a full length that I self-released in April of 2010. It is 12 folk-pop songs about interactions between people and their community, wavering relationships, and growing up without giving up. It is available on CD and cassette.

Credits: Mastered by Mike Bridavsky at Russian Recording in Bloomington, IN. Artwork by Ryan Woods."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is a professionally made cassette tape, yellow shells with black imprinting and full color cover."

Pug Records says: "Everything Must Go , Top Surprise’s debut, was produced by Le Almeida (Coloração Desbotada) and Paulo Casaes (Fujimo) during two drunken days at brothers Andre and Daniel’s apartment. Vocals were recorded in the bathroom, guitars in the living room and drums in dad’s bedroom, to the neighbors’ despair. The results sound as strong as any recent “shitgaze” record you’ve heard — but with a subtlety only someone who worked as a telephone operator could conceive. Hysterical guitars and joggly drums explode into the songwriting, with female backing vocals resembling bees inside the speaker. From the obvious admiration of American college rock to hints of post-punk, the EP ends with a folk-tinged incursion into Jeff Mangum/Elliott Smith territory."

Rough Trade says: "Bright youthful lo-fi attack from brazil's Top Surprise! Top Surprise's debut single in U.K. brings two noise pop gems - 'Saturn (The Season)' and 'I Shoot the Devil'. This 7-inch will put a big smile on the faces of early-90's american indie rock fans."

Norman Records says: "a nest of hornets falls on the head of an enraged jaguar – melodic buzzing ensues."

Gilgongo Records says: "Highly addictive and obscured pop-punk from Tempe, AZ circa 2008. Featuring members of Foot Ox (Teague), Splinter Cake (Kelly) and the "French Quarter" live band (Preston), this is unpolished, upbeat and "real", in the vein of The Bananas and for fans of Lehigh Valley's late 90's scene.

Slanty Shanty says: "Venezuelan Abelardo Gil’s solo project Treasure Mammal is the soundtrack to your next DMT trip. Collages of noises, samples, and Casio keyboards bubble to the top like some sort of John Zorn or Mike Patton bastard side project. Occasionally as abrasive as Atari Teenage Riot with thickly distorted blast beats and keyboards, Treasure Mammal isn’t afraid to tear down any barrier, exploring new territory seemingly with each song. Drug users be wary, this might be too mindblowing to use as the backdrop to your next heavy trip.

Running Time: 44 Minutes"

Tummy Rock says: "In conjunction with CDB and Copoc Rock records we are excited to bring you Two Year Touqe's 5th album. Two Year Touqe play fantastic twee/indie/pop music. We are excited to release this album with 100% recycled cardboard packages, and a color poster."

Missoula Independent says: "There's something a little bit Billy Joe Armstrong about Tyson Ballew's vocals—the way he sings about crushes made me recently unearth Green Day’s 1,039/ Smoothed Out Slappy Hours just to hear 'The One I Want.' That said, the local troubadour injects his own dramatic notions of love into his newest album, and darkens them with an end-of-the-world earnestness.

In fact, Ballew might be the perfect acoustic guitarist to hang out with during the apocalypse, mostly because his angst is cradled in starry-eyed acceptance for whatever excitement—good or bad—happens next. (Erika Fredrickson)"

Workaholics on Holiday says: "The first american (well, the first non-danish) band to grace the w-o-h! catalog is the Up Set - usually a solo outfit for K.B. Blankson, but here, he's accompanied by a backing band. Compared to previous stellar lo-fi/twee releases from K.B., this pro-printed cd-r is a pleasantly surprising upgrade - to charming, amped up indie pop/rock. Let's make a connection with the dancefloor! (comes with a 1" button.)

Songs: 1. a melody for melanie / 2. i'll be seeing you / 3. my present absence / 4. hurry up and wait / 5. i'm not pulling your leg / 6. couldn't lose our youth"

NOTE: CDR limited to 100 copies.

Stumparumper says: "I asked these bands to come up with a Christmas song, original or otherwise, and they all delivered on a level about 6 stories higher than I had ever hoped. Banned Books kicks things off with a punk song about what might or might not happen with the snowman sitting in your front yard. Granny Frost turns up the bass fuzz for a scathing (and non-sequitur) take on the holiday season. Hoop Dreams rocks from the perspective of Joseph, step-father of Jesus, and Fuck Montreal close it out with their rendition of 'Do You Hear What I Hear?'. Front cover art by the enigmatic MC Nugget, back cover by the H.A.N.S.!"

Tummy Rock says: "'We Like to Kick Ass' was the first release as Tummy Rock Records. It features many great unreleased songs by Racetrack, The Modern Machines, Real Live Tigers, and more. We threw a two day festival to celebrate the rebirth of a label and the release of this record. We had high hopes."

Rok Lok Records says: "...I wanted to pay tribute to the music I grew up with, 90s compilations, and Shrimper Records amongst the other labels who issued music that changed my life. Thus, "I Know Why They Call It Pop" compilation was born, modifying its name from the fantastic Pop Narcotic comp "Why Do You Think They Call It Pop" and taking on the cassette format as its presentation-to all the tape traders and tape labels, this one is for you. "I Know Why They Call It Pop" is limited to 100 pro duped/imprinted yellow cassettes packaged with a black & white j-card and yellow insert. Also included is a download code! The artists included in this compilation are: Tiny Sheep, Sloane Peterson, Babe Florida, Blanket Truth, The Only Ghost in Town, Hi Guy, Screen House Music, Tyler Kuliberda, Sure Toss, Destructasaurus Rex, Jerk Weed, Beta Male John Wayne, Swell As Hell, Shaolin Finger Jab, Golden Gurls, Animauled, Howard the Duck, Big R, Stars Are Insane and Little Swimmers."

Wild Animal Kingdom Records says: "[It's a] compilation featuring the sweetest in Brazilian underground music at the moment. Curated by Lilian De Munno."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "I love this compilation! A ton of really wonderful Brazilian indie rock bands on a wonderful label. Many of the bands herein call long time independent label Midsummer Madness their home, check out their label and other bands at http://www.en.mmrecords.com.br/"

Wild Animal Kingdom Records says: "Mix-Tape Volume 1. Featuring: Julian Lynch, Martin Courtney, Pill Wonder, Andrew Cedermark, Dana Jewell, Liam The Younger and many, many more."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Get to know Wild Animal Kingdom Records and their friends!"

Wild Animal Kingdom Records says: "Mix-Tape Round II. Featuring: Real Estate, Pill Wonder, Julian Lynch, Andrew Cedermark, Karl Blau, and many more."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Get to know Wild Animal Kingdom Records and their friends!"

Get Off The Coast says: "From Acid Glasses' short opener onward the whole thing is a triumph of his curatorship, showcasing varying degrees of tongue-in-cheekiness and a whole spectrum of tones as bands run the gamut between noise and pop, with at least one short and truly notable pit-stop made for some new minimalist hip hop from Pop Culture Shaman (may God have mercy on his soul)."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Comp features iji and Just Another Snake Cult!"

Last.fm says: "Shit happens when you listen to records and read comic books. Despite the whole 'and the Happy Campers' thing Velma plays all the instruments and as of now just shows up with a guitar, a pedal, and a bass amp to play shows."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Stripped down, acoustic, bedroom folk."

Wabash says: "This is the latest Wabash album, released in May 2009. It will probably be the last Wabash album, at least for a long while. The songs loosely tell the true story of going to Christian college for a semester in rural southern Illinois, not feeling like I belonged, dealing with my family's reaction to me leaving school, moving to Chicago, still not feeling like I belonged, and finally realizing that with so many amazing friends, I'm never very far from home. Victor V-B played drums and bass on several songs. I spent a lot more time producing this album than any other album, and I hope you can tell."

Phoning It In says: "Rebecca writes the songs, plays the harp, and is also in Girl Band and maybe Sausage Dog. Josh (aka Hoshwa) plays the baritone ukulele, sometimes records as Cave Babies, and is the dancing genius behind the 5...4...3...2...fun!! radio show. Don't let Joanna Newsom or the Renaissance Festival lull you into thinking there's only one way to skin a harp, though. Watercolor Paintings make intimate and perfect Impressionistic pop songs, a far-cry from psych-folk pretensions, or any pretensions at all, really."

*** Back in stock

Sidejar Records says: "Madeline Ava now lives in Bloomington IN. She is one of my best friends, and her music has gotten better the last few years, which was amazing to begin with. Watercolor Paintings is from Santa Barbara CA. This is unlike any other of their stuff I've heard. It's acually way better, which also saying alot. So basically, this split is full of songs from people I love, who are writing better music than they ever have!!! This is a split release with Skulltula Records. Cover art by Chris Clavin!"

Life's Blood says: "Wholly discombobulated pop gems. This album is filled with totally bewildering guitar playing, dope beats, and some of the weirdest overtly pop music I've ever heard. It's like the recontexualization of all sorts of fringe and avantgarde in a pop context without any net loss. There’s enough variety, too, often within one track, to warrant several immediate repeat listens. Woman Year is the work of Michael RJ Saalman, whom you have maybe heard as guitarist warlock in Afternoon Brother (whose truly shredding "Maiden America" we've just released recently), as well as in his work both live and on record with Pregnant. 50 white tapes with printed labels, 13 jammin tracks."
