Loads of killer wax at Birdman as always...here's some of this week's delights...


Shoes-One In Versailles LP (1976 debut from Illinois power pop greats)

High On Fire-Art Of Self Defence (1999 debut in Deluxe double LP version, heavy wax, new artwork,extra trax)

Troubled Horse-Step Inside LP(debut on Rise Above. Swedish band w/2 ex-Witchcraft members...the raw 60′s garage rock and heavy 70′s psych-doom riffing!)



Simply Saucer-Cyborgs LP (finally repressed! Mid 70's psych-proto punk monster!)

Sensations Fix-Time To Decide LP(70's Italian Prog oufit more closely aligned with krautrock vault material w/ CD version included)

Diagonal-The Second LP (on Rise above this UK outfit combine jazzy prog and space rock..Eloy meets Softmachine...solid!)

Ilyas Ahmed-With Endless Fire LP (an artist who combines psych ragas, drones and folkish touches with legit eastern mystic vibe)

Major Stars-Decibels of Gratitude LP (Wayne Rogers is a godlike guitarist and this 8th album from Twisted Village Records is heavy psych bliss)

Popol Vuh-Affenstunde LP (dark and mysterious... analog moog/hand percussion - 1971 Krautrock mantlepiece)

Lee Fields-Let's Talk It Over LP (raw and gritty funk from the early 70's comes with bonus LP of singles, great cover!)

Umberto-Confrontations LP (3rd LP for Matt Hill ex-Expo '70...excellent synth-tastic horror/psi-fi style instrumental album think Carpenter/Goblin)

Alkana/Welcome To My Paradise LP(70's monster rarity with wicked guitar work...psych meets prog meets metal...smokin! Ltd. 400)

Widowspeak- Almanac ( 2nd LP on Captured Tracks label by U.S. male/female lead outfit...rootsy psych in a Mazzy Starish kinda way!!)

Brigg - S/T LP ( super rare '73 U.S. private press...Folkish Psychedelic Rock)

German Shepherds-Music For Sick Queers LP+7" (of early 80's Frisco art punk scene...think Suicide/Ubu/Psychic TV bent)

Sleepers-Painless Nights LP (early 80's imprvisational art punk pre-BPeople and Tuxedo Moon again..San Fran orientation)

Goat -World Music LP (awesome debut from Swedes who combine Afro-centricisms with hard psych prog and fuckin kill it start to finish...hands down one of the best records of last year!)

Kluster-Schwarz (Eruption) LP (actually a Conrad Schnitzler release that sounds like Kluster, but more electronic and disturbing...1971 sees a man on his game and forward thinking)

What's Hot @ Birdman Sound...

On a personal level I've acquired so many records in the past 4 weeks it's ridiculous...many of them may be heard on "Friday Morning Cartunes" on CKCU-FM (obviously on Friday's!) here's a link to listen on demand http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/117/info.html .  A few standouts already as new releases are new albums by Arbouretum (Thrill Jockey) , Follakzoid (Sacred Bones), Troubled Horse and Diagonal (both Rise Above), Heads (Cardinal Fuzz), Mugstar (Agitated), Sun Dial (Tangerine), Coloured Balls and Sleaze (both Sing Sing), Seremonia (Svart), Bong (Ritual Productions) and a bunch more!


The shop is stacked out with a ton of new stuff already and lots incoming every single week.  you should come by if in the area and buy some new tunes!

Coming Soon...TBWNIS LP # 7

the band whose name is a symbol - "scrappy little jaw" vinyl LP is our latest musical adventure.  We recorded as always in the basement here at Birdman Sound during October and November 2012.  This LP is our first not done "off the floor".  The sonic clarity on this record is crazy and the music can be described as "in yer face heavy".  As usual this record (BS #14) will be exclusively available through Birdman Sound, so if you want one, send an email to reserve.  "Scrappy" will be an edition of 100 and will be $20. + applicable destination fees if mailing is required.
