B A Pinch Of Chalk 5:04
The "lost" second single from the Saffron Sect. Formed in Toronto in 2005, the group,
led by Gaven Dianda (ex-Flashing Lights, Thee Gnostics) made its debut and quickly
gathered a local following with their highly eclectic sound, which merged timeless
folk musings with pop-psych sensibilities. On this release, the group is fully
amplified and electric, merging nice layers of folk-psych with brilliant pop-psych
flashes. If you can imagine the Strawberry Alarm Clock with some whimsical folk-psych
moves, that may give you an overall impression of the music contained within. Comes
in a full colour sleeve with a digital download code included.

The Higher State return with their long-awaited third album, Freakout at the Gallery!
While still employing their bedrock signature sound of fuzzy 60's-style garage
psychedelia meshed with jangly folk-punk, the group expands their musical horizons
through a broader mix of instrumentation. On these 12 new songs, sitar, piano, and
even a lush string arrangement add a lot of color to this affair. Mix all of these
vibrations with quite possibly some of their most infectious vocal harmonies and
spot-on, thought-provocative lyrics to date, and you will bear witness to the Freakout
at the Gallery. Quite possibly, becoming an active participant as well, as the sounds
excite your ears, move your feet, and paint the colors of your mind!

B Penny Arcade 2:49
(Note : 7"/45 RPM , 500 copies)
The U.K.'s finest garage punk unknown returns with a great two-sider! Picking up right
where he left off with his second album 'Case Closed', Paul continues to display his
incredible grasp of pure '60s style garage-punk, along with his refined sensibilities
as a very good songwriter. 'Nightmares' is an original song, moody and broody with
ample doses of fuzz to seal the deal. On the flipside Paul shifts gears and serves up
a nice, jangly 12 string ballad, with excellent vocal harmonies to boot. This single
comes in a old-style, classic sleeve with a download code included.

(Note : LP/150 g. , 100 copies + 11x17" poster)
At last, the long-awaited debut album from the Flight Reaction has arrived! This
Swedish group, featuring ex-members of the Crimson Shadows and the Giljoteens,
expands on their signature sound of 60's-style garage psychedelia that they have
displayed over the course of 4 singles already. Through 12 new songs, the band
sonically paints with a much wider palette, with nice freakbeat and acid-punk moves
to boot, as well as some additional instrumentation to spice up the affair, such
as sitar, mellotron, farfisa, and flute. As a whole, the album has a similar feel
to the Pretty Things classic S.F. Sorrow as well as the Outsiders legendary C.Q.
album, yet song by song retains all the immediacy, fuzz, mood, and grit that
predominated the sounds of many garage and psychedelic unknowns during the height
of the psychedelic 60's, while remaining very much in touch with the ever-present
now. 150 gram vinyl with download code included.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13OC 18 THE YOUNG SINCLAIRS CHANGE YOUR MIND 7" 12.2014
A Change Your Mind 2:48
B Once Or Twice 2:39
This top-notch two-sider finds the Roanoke, Virginia-based group in peak form as they
display their signature sound: a mixture of jangly folk rock diffused through a prism
of paisley pop, and accentuated at times by garage, powerpop and mod moves. The key
equation to their sound is thoroughly demonstrated on the A-Side of this single,
a jangly Byrdsian folk rock song with spot-on vocal harmonies, steeped heavily in
the pot of Rain Parade-style paisley underground pop. On the flipside, the group adds
thick dollops of powerpop to this mixture, rounding out what rest assured is a single
to stay in constant rotation on turntables everywhere!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13OC 19 THE TOMB WEAVERS VISITATION 7" 05.2015
A Visitations 1 3:45
B Visitations 2 2:36
The Tomb Weavers return with their third single! Picking up right where they left
off from their previous singles, this power trio from Monterey, California displays
once again some great heavy psych moves, akin' to the heavy psych/hard rock sounds
that emerged in the late 1960s and early '70s. Both tracks bear the same title, not
only due to the way they both complement each other, but also in the sense of
"visitation" as a reconnection with the heavy psych sounds of days past in order to
create music now that is at once as immediate yet remains timeless. Think not only of
well-known heavy-hitter groups like Blue Cheer for a comparison here, but also of
a myriad of obscure representatives of the psychedelic '60s, with colourful names
such as Orange Wedge, Glass Sun and Twentieth Century Zoo, and connect the dots!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13OC 20 THE HIGHER STATE : (CONSIDER IT) A DEBT REPAID 7"+DLc 08.2015
A (CONSIDER IT) A DEBT REPAID 2:01
B In A World That Just Don't Care 2:21
The Higher State delivers a new top-notch two-sider! Picking up right where the
and left off with its last full-length album, the Higher State has dialed back the
sound a bit further for an even more stripped-down affair. Both songs, one each
written by band members Marty Ratcliffe and Paul Messis, are really shot through
the prism of '66 as the group once again amply displays '60s-style garage moves,
meshed with folk-punk vibes, whilst as usual adding incisive and thoughtprovoking
lyrics to the mix.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13OC 21 THE BEGINNER'S MYND I FOUND YOU OUT 7"+DLc 09.2015
A I Found You Out 3:21
B When You Go 3:46
The vinyl debut for The Beginner's Mynd picks up right where the band left off from
their cassette EP on Burger Records, and presents the Washington DC-based trio in
fine form. Their signature sound, which maashes Byrdsian guitar jangle with sixties
UK-style psych/pop-psych in the vein of early Pink Floyd and The Factory, is on full
display here. Add a few dollops of baroque psychedelia to the proceedings and presto,
a top shelf two-sider for your listening pleasure!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13OC 22 NOBLE KRELL THE VELVET YOU 7"+DLc 11.2015
A The Velvet you 2:13
B Not The Sun 2:46
Noble Krell returns with this second single. Echo-laden vocals and thick layers of
gloriously reverberated psychedelia glide along Byrds-like guitar jangle to create
a tapestry of sound in the vein of the Electric Prunes and 'S.F. Sorrow'-era Pretty
Things.

On vinyl, this is The Higher State's fifth full-length album. 'Volume 27' presents
twelve songs blending '60s-style garage with jangly folk-punk that timelessly reflect
upon the ho-hum world we all face without sounding clichéd and trivial. Mastered by
Crypt Records head honcho Tim Warren, and with liner notes from Ugly Things Magazine
guru Mike Stax, the album comes pressed on 150 gram vinyl and housed in a nice
'60s-style tip-on jacket. The lyrics are printed on the inner sleeve and you also
get a digital download code.

B Don'y Know Why
Out of the beat Mecca that is Hamburg, Germany comes The Wrong Society with a top
-notch two-sider! This single presents the quartet in fine form, racking up a couple
more moody and broody garage-beat originals with a heavy mid-60s teen-jangle vibe.

A Ticking Time Bomb
B Broken Moon
hese long-standing psych veterans lay down a heady psych groover on the A-side that
in some ways comes off sounding like a long lost track from the Pretty Things'
classic 'S.F. Sorrow'. On the flipside, the group travels into a hazy, dreamier
realm of psychedelia that channels some strong Paisley vibes in the vein of Opal
and Mazzy Star.

garage-fueled opener 'Don't Lose Your Mind' to the dreamy, psych-poppin' closing track
'No Expectations', the Washington D.C.-based trio presents ten songs that expand upon
their bedrock sound of Byrdsian guitar jangle meshed with '60s-style pop-psych and
'80s Paisley underground moves.

the 'These Flowers Of Ours' double album in particular, yet still traveling into new
dimensions of sound as well. Comes in gatefold sleeve including download code.
