09. MOTE "ADVENTURE CALL"
10. SLUDGE PARTY "WATER ON MARS"
"This is a cool little collection of lesser-known psych bands from Australia, with
a (thankfully) broad definition of psych. Some of the best work centers around a kind
of Paisley Underground influence, but there are also outre post-punk sounds and German
experimental references, conventional OCS-esque moments and shoegaze pop, minimalist
punk, and "swamp tango" and "war with the future." There are no low points. Wild
Meadows "These Days" stands out to me-melancholy paisley pop that feels effortless
and classic. I imagine everyone who listens might have a different favorite. Its that
kind of record."

14. SATURDAY NIGHT
Vinyl limied to 100 copies, "Third Blood Cookie album Ive come across and they just
keep getting better and better. Their early Sonic Youth influences have given way
to a more general post-punk vibe, not quite as morose navel-excavating as that
influence can sometimes get, but the emphasis on bass and mix of experimentation
and catchiness gel in all the best ways throughout. Nice when ye get to see a band
grow into their own, and these kids are shaping up quite nicely."

02. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS BE GOOD
03. ZANG
04. THE LESS YOU KNOW
05. ROTUNDA
06. HEAT ESCAPES ME
07. SHOE SHINE
Vinyl limited to 100 copies. "Some kind of strange mix of power pop, garage rock,
and the quiet-loud-quiet-loud school of 90s alternative rock. King Gizzard & The
Lizard Wizard would be a good comparison point, just without the twelve-minute-long
jams. Or maybe Audacity with a stronger Ty Segall influence? The choruses are tight
and catchy with remarkable angular guitar work during the verses. This gets my award
for best album this review cycle. Seven absolutely solid tracks, with a really
lovely cover art design. Recommended."

ANOTHER HEAVEN are a Sludgegaze band from Minneapolis, MN. Born from the ashes of
Gloom-Pop heavyweights Hollow Boys, ANOTHER HEAVEN takes that band's previous
explorations in hazy, dreamy Post-Punk and mixes them with Doom, Sludge and Shoegaze
music to create a style that is equally star-gazing and earthbound. Includes bonus
flexi with the bands mesmerizing cover of Kate Bushs classic "Running Up That Hill."

Seefeel remix. Flavor Crystals are a four piece space rock based in Minneapolis,
MN. Since releasing their debut album On Plastic (mpls ltd 2005), Flavor Crystals
have continued to create engagingly floaty psych rock. Their music evokes '60s
psychedelia, '70s kraut/prog, '80s kiwi, and '90s shoegaze/indie in equal measures,
while always retaining their distinct, wobbly vibe.

08. SPOILED BY ROTTEN
09. PRAYING TO GOD
Limited Edition of 250 copies. "Sass live up to their name, but they use sarcasm
and cheekiness as a deflection tactic against a looming darkness. The songs on their
debut album, Chew Toy, are about heavy shit, and Stephanie Murck never undersells
the very serious topics shes singing about. But the gnarled and fuzzy towers of
attitude that Sass build up around that are stunning - frustrated bursts of pure
release."

09. FIGURE IT OUT
10. THAT WILL CHANGE
11. WHY DID HE LIE?
12. FREUDIAN SLIP
Violet vinyl limited edition of 250 copies. "What weve got here is a three piece
grungey as f*** band from Minneapolis. They pack a punch with their gritty, distorted
guitar and screeching vocals. The songs are lo-fi and almost sludgey, but they also
wail with some well timed solos. Reminds me a lot of MUDHONEY and bands of that ilk.
PARTITIONs stuff sounds dingey, tough, and disinterested. Like something your cooler
older sister might be into. They pull it off well."
