Cosmonauts - If You Wanna Die Then I Wanna Die LP - Pre-Order

The Cosmonauts are a garage/psychedelic rock band from Orange County, CA. They released their debut self-titled LP in June 2010 on Burger Records, and have since released an EP and a single. Recently they released their second LP, "If You Wanna Die Then I Wanna Die" on April 15, 2012. 

I've been meaning to check this album out for some time now and I am pleasantly surprised. Some great psychedelic garage-pop tunes! You can order their sophomore LP through Burger Records, here, for $14.00 plus tax.

The LP is limited to 500 copies (150 on blue vinyl/350 on black vinyl).

Gold Panda - Mountain b/w Financial District 7" - Pre-Order

Gold Panda's Mountain b/w Financial District 7" can be purchase via Ghostly (US) for $7.00 plus shipping, or if your in the UK you can purchase it through Notown. This will be release on standard weight clear vinyl and will be limited to 1200 copies worldwide.

Gold Panda describes the 7" as a "short story," hinting at something in the future that, even he confesses, could twist in a completely different direction to the two tracks here – of which Derwin describes as “modern hip-hop.” He adds, “the 808 snares on ‘Mountain’ are a nod to Noah "40" Shebib and some-time Drake collaborators, Boi-1da. "Financial District," at 125 bpm is, I guess, an accelerated version of that.”

"Mountain," the slightly warmer of the two, with it's huge reverberating percussive sound cocooning a myriad of skittering, pirouetting samples. "Financial District" meanwhile revolves around off-kilter drones that play off one another before being hoisted up by the return of that resolute rhythm. The track titles, Derwin explains, indirectly came about after a discussion with Brainfeeder artist Matthewdavid, who told him he needed better names for the tracks.

J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. fame is back with an incredible new release under the name Heavy Blanket.

Mark Sultan - War on Rock 'n' Roll LP

Mark Sultan (aka BBQ) is a one man band and one of the best crooners around. For this release Mark has declared war on rock n' roll music. He's even written a manifesto that's included with this release so you know exactly where he's coming from. The dude's pissed. Who can blame him? War On Rock N' Roll is one continuous 51 minute piece recorded in one take live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's sort of a weirdo medley that includes many of his best songs, drum break downs, primal screams and guitar freak outs. This album was pressed in an edition of 500. All copies are on red and black splatter vinyl. The silk screened record cover features totally badass artwork done exclusively for the release by Gary Panter." - In The Red.


You can order "War on Rock n' Roll" through In The Red Records here, for $13.00.

King Tuff - King Tuff (Pre-Order) & King Tuff's Things To Do

"King Tuff is the new record from King Tuff—his first for Sub Pop and his second album overall. Was Dead, King Tuff’s 2008 debut, captured the attention of the rock underground and quickly blew through its limited pressing (it now resides on ebay, being snatched up for hearty sums). His gem of a new album was produced by Bobby Harlow, of The Go and Conspiracy of Owls, and recorded during a furious two-week run in Detroit." - Sub Pop

The first 300 people who pre-order King Tuff will receive a limited edition King Tuff patch! Also, we’ve got a limited number of the colored-vinyl, Loser Edition of the LP—in this case, a splattered Red, White and Blue LP! First come, first serve on all this stuff. (Most likely sold out by now).
