Kelley Stoltz's "Double Exposure" is available here: https://thirdmanstore.com/catalog/product/view/id/976/s/kelley-stoltz-double-exposure-12-vinyl/

While many rocking bands in San Francisco and beyond claim to be 'garage' bands' - Kelley Stoltz has actually recorded his new LP "Double Exposure" in the garage behind his house.  And while the car oil stained floors are covered by oriental rugs and there are no snow shovels laying around - there is a collection of vintage synths, 17 guitars, tape echos, mellotrons, a 50's jukebox, a Teardrop Explodes poster, a tape machine used by The Residents, an amp used by Stooge James Williamson, and a myriad other noise making devices which rear their heads on his new record.  All told the place is called Electric Duck Studio and it's become a muse capturing zone for Stoltz, as well as Sonny & the Sunsets, The Mantles, Tim Cohen, Life Stinks, The Sandwitches and many other tuneweavers big and small. 

"Double Exposure" is Kelley's first album in a while - near on 3 years since his last one, "To Dreamers" came out on Sub Pop. What the heck has he been doing since, you ask?  Well renovating the garage for one, and using said garage studio to engineer, produce or encourage the above named bands… You see time flies when you're having fun.  Add in some love, a little heartbreak, turning 40, deciding to jog everyday, staring at the wall, singing hundreds of songs into the phone, sleeping, recording an album of cover songs with his family, making a couple 45 singles, catching white wine buzzes, getting dropped by Sub Pop, playing keyboards on tour with Rodriguez, and signing on with old supporters at Third Man Records… really it's as good old Sandy Denny sang, who knows where the time goes.

Anyway, if you stir up all that stuff and a few other things we won't mention here, you have the makings of a fantastic and heartfelt record, "Double Exposure" has 10 new jams that Thee Oh Sees main man, John Dwyer, describes thusly, "A piece of gold in your ear, A lovely thought in your mind, A breeze in the sun, This record is perfect…" 

Nicely put there Johnny! And you too will thrill to the sound of delay pedals twisting the keys on "Inside My Head", crane your neck to the backwards guitars of "Are You My Love", ramble and gamble to the clanging cymbals on the title track, question the sanity of a song called "Kim Chee Taco Man", and finally, fall down and weep at the sweet fluted sentiments of "It's Summertime Again".  

For all of you Aussie rules fans, the album was mixed and mastered by Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring/Total Control and features Stoltz playing most of the instruments himself and overdubbing parts through his trusty 8 track tape machine.

A stirring cover of Talking Heads' "This Must Be The Place (Naïve Melody)" is one of five bonus tracks from The Lumineers (Deluxe Edition), out August 20th, 2013. Also included in The Lumineers (Deluxe Edition) is a DVD containing more than 25 minutes of stage performance, behind-the-scenes footage, music videos and interviews chronicling the band’s life on the road and rise to fame over the past year and a 28 page photo booklet of never before seen photos, images and studio notes from the recording sessions that birthed the album.

“Jolene” has been covered numerous times, but despite how it sounds, this is not a cover by a pretty-sounding dude. It’s a 45 rpm record of Dolly singing that has been slowed to 33 rpm…

Found this here, but too rad not to share..

Pre-order the album

The Young Punx 3rd album “All These Things Are Gone” is an alternately joyous and melancholic journey investigating the themes of the passage of time, and what is accidentally lost from culture in the name of progress. The album is built around the heart of this epic 14 minute title track, which deadpan catalogs over 60 things which are only connected by virtue of no-longer being around any more, against a constantly developing soundscape inspired by the bliss house of 90s artists like The Beloved and Saint Etienne.


"All you love will always fade away,
We find it in the night, and lose it in the day.
Mountains rise and fall into the sea.
The years roll by, till all these things are gone..."

==========
Clash magazine said: "Soaring expansive production"

"The Young Punx is a forward-facing project, allowing the two to apply a renewed sense of imagination to their myriad influences."

"The Young Punx begin by playfully toying with fluid house rhythms before pushing into experimental realms."

"Sheer Balearic heaven, managing to perfectly capture that 6am feeling on the White Island. Sure, there are nods to the 90s house lineage but the pair add a fresh polish to those sounds, with their irreverence shining through with each percussive snap and sundown note."

Which was nice of them.
==========

Baked - Don't Trip

  STANDING IN THE PISSING RAIN MUST BE A DRAG: Recorded in a secularized Lutheran temple off the banks of the Hudson River, Ukiah Drag's new LP In the Reaper's Quarters (produced by the almighty Ben Greenberg) is fine projection of basement rumination finding temptation in the halls of an ex-God. Straddling the church balcony, licking the scum off stained glass, crooked steeples refracting moonlight and blood…There is no erasure of the Satanic ego as it the Drag moves onto new spiritual drippings. While the band's Dirt Trip single was hard but not necessarily unforgiving, In the Reaper's Quarters is a hellish maw that chews up tired rock and post punk tropes only to reanimate them in other austere and lonely offices. You may chew on its bones and swallow its scales but they'll cling to your pockmarked soul indeed. 
     Pulsating organs strobe their way through flattening riffs and creep beats; on many tracks the listener will hear a sex-crazed baby grand slinking sinfully into the reaper's pit. Their rendition of Lee Hazlewood's "Wait and See" will break the emotional turnstiles of many a troglodyte. This is a widow-making full length that marks and culminates every player's previous efforts to a blunt and remorseless tee. For fans of the violent prose of Harry Crews, Bobby Beausoleil's score of LUCIFER RISING, and the hallowed walls of Chateau Marmont.

The Ukiah Drag - Her Royal Grip

you're an actor for an actor
performing for performers
something you do, i do
you get me there i'll help you out
you call and i'll come back around
something you do, i do
and all this time resting on your laurels
will all be for naught
are you seeing him professionally

i'm an actor for an actor
performing for performers
something you do, i do
count your blessings where they see em
show em how you're living
weaponize your happiness
and all this time poaching on a new front
for trading places on the stages
posing with the famous
act as if you're one of them
and turn into the villain
this is how you become the villain

an actor for an actor
cold shapeshifter
something you do, i do
you get me there i'll help you out
you call and i'll come back around
something you do, i do
use all your time to paint yourself the victim
strengthen up your branding
in bed with your connections
broadcasting your blessings
faking all your smiles
and turn into the villain

i don't mean to make you sad but i do
