M'LR 038 - HALO HALO - "MANANANGGAL" b/w "SUNSHINE KIM" 7" $7

Debut monsoon from these London radicals, originally issued by our comrades at Savoury Days in a minute pressing last autumn. This record is far too good to miss out on. Two wild numbers that will ricochet around yr noggin for the rest of the year. DO YOU WANT NEW WAVE OR DO YOU WANT THE TRUTH? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

M'LR 039 - SILVER FOX - "WAVES ON IN" b/w "MARBLE WORLD" 7" $7

Debut-fatale from Silver Fox, a quartet from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, wielding Badalamenti's saber high in the air and ready to lure you to the summit. "Waves On In" conjures up this fantastic vision of the Cascade Mountains merging with the North Pennines, waves of a much deeper sort. "Marble World" is right on time for spring rebirth, a statement of intent so pure you'll wanna adopt it as yr own. They are a great new group and we are very pleased to be working with them!

MLADYS 2.5 - FINALLY PUNK - "CASUAL GOTHS" LP $15

They were one of the best bands we can recall seeing. It was like someone took the most exciting bits of 1977 and 1992 and 2006 and squashed them together. That was Finally Punk, from Austin, Texas. 26 songs, compiling all three of their singles, plus two previously unreleased songs, both of them covers (NIRVANA & PRIMA DONNAS!). This LP stands in tribute to their amazingness. Issued in collaboration with our esteemed friends at ARMY OF BAD LUCK, out of Atlanta, Georgia.

LP COMES COMPLETE WITH LINK TO FULL DIGITAL VERSION OF THE ALBUM, AS WELL AS LIVE VIDEOS & TOUR FILMS!

MLADYS 6 - SHOTGUN SEAMSTRESS - "ANTHOLOGY" BOXED SET: 6 zines plus cassette $20

HANDFUL OF COPIES ONCE AGAIN IN CIRCULATION, BUT FOR HOW LONG, GUV'NOR?

All six issues of this essential publication by Osa Atoe, by and for punks of color! In Ms. Atoe's own words:

"I make fanzines about the experience of being a black queer feminist punk, and also a woman who plays music. Shotgun Seamstress features interviews with and articles about Mick Collins (Gories, Dirtbombs), Brontez Purnell (Gravy Train!!!! and The Younger Lovers), Adee Roberson (New Bloods), Ru Paul, Don Letts, ESG, various black folks from the 80s DC Hardcore scene, Alvin Baltrop (photographer), Chris Sutton (Hornet Leg, The Gossip) and more!"

This very special anthology is housed in an all-black box and, as an added bonus, has a secret mixtape stashed inside as well!

M'LR 036 - GRASS WIDOW / NATURE - "DISAPPEARING INDUSTRIES" b/w "IN A PLACE" split 7" $7

Two of our favorite groups in America team up to turn on ALL the lights. Grass Widow's debut side for us is beyond our wildest dreams: it's called "Disappearing Industries", and it's our favorite song by them yet, brimming over with great ideas. Likewise for Nature! "In A Place" sounds like secret societies wielding wild energy underground. Mystery and magick and brilliance in abundance.

Entire pressing limited to 1000 copies worldwide. St. Valentine never had it so good.

M'LR 034 - BRUTE HEART - "FEVER" b/w "IN LIMBO" 7" $7

We're incredibly proud to be issuing this single. Brute Heart are from Minneapolis, and have already released two truly deep albums (their self-released debut "Brass Beads" and last year's "Lonely Hunter" on Soft Abuse). Jackie, Crystal, and Crystal know the power of echo and the power of tonality, and bring it round like the crazy world of Arthur Russell all over again! This single will get under your skin fast. We've cavalierly suggested in the past the possibility of a "DOUBLE A SIDE" single. This, my friends, is truly such a specimen.

FIRST 100 COPIES on MARBLED COLOR VINYL, ONLY AVAILABLE FROM US!

MR 084 - KLEENEX / LiLiPUT - "1978-1983" 4 x LP box set $45

LIMITED QUANTITIES REMAINING!

One of the most unique punk bands of our time, hailed from Zurich, Switzerland. From 1978-80, KLEENEX gigged around, recorded two 7-inches and toured the UK with such acts as Gang Of Four, Subway Sect, The Swell Maps and The Raincoats. In 1980, the group changed their name to LILIPUT (due to pressures from the Kleenex tissue company) and continued under that moniker until their demise in 1983. As Liliput, three more 7-inches and two LPs were released as the band evolved through numerous personnel changes. Finally the entire contents of the ever-popular Kill Rock Stars double CD is now available as a 4-LP set. Housed in sturdy tip-on sleeve slipcases with full-color 12-page booklets. .

WW 05 - AMPS FOR CHRIST - "CIRCUITS" double LP $20

Former Man Is The Bastard drummer Joel Connell plays tablas and percussion. Remastered for vinyl by Tim Stollenwerk (Mississippi Records, Sublime Frequencies, Fat Possum). Co-released by Turned Word Records. Limited to 1000 copies.

The four song bonus side begins with "Empire", a song recorded for a compilation that was supposed to be released by L.A. venue, The Smell. Barnes and Tavi are joined by then AFC member Erika Anderson (EMA, Gowns).The comp never saw the light of day, but Empire now has. "Yamasuka" adds fellow former MITB member, Aaron Kenyon on bass to this release and rounding off the bonus side are folk standards Knight On The Road and Bonny Greenwoodside. The latter recorded live at the Claremont Forum in 2001.

Amps For Christ use unique instrumentation in an eclectic approach to play"folkcore", coined & defined by founder Henry Barnes. Mr. Barnes modifies Hammond organs to a fixed scale that defines AFC's sound. He builds his own electric bouzoukis, sitars, guitars, violins, metronomes, oscillators and noise machines. Prior to AFC, Mr. Barnes was a founder of Man Is The Bastard and Bastard Noise.
