mv&ee - limits/jacked up - golden lab records - 7" - 8$
The first 7″ in our singles club, by MV&EE with The Golden Road is out now. Side A is called ‘Limits’ and it’s a full Golden Road blaster with riffs as meaty as a New York deli sandwich, ripped-up MV vocals and swirling EE vocals through a fat Leslie speaker. Side B is a sleww, stonnnned (possibly 4-track) recording called ‘Jacked-Up’ with a haunting, almost dissonant vocal from MV and one of the greatest examples of Erika Elder’s intuitive, whacked-out electric mandobird playing we’ve yet heard.
greg kelley & alex neilson - passport to satori - golden lab records - lp - 15$
This beautiful super-heavyweight LP, which comes packaged in a sweet full-colour sleeve reunites the UK's premier free drummer Alex Neilson, who's played, amongst others, with Motor Ghost, Directing Hand, Trembling Bells, Tight Meat Duo, Josephine Foster, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jandek, MV&EE, Richard Youngs, Baby Dee and Alastair Galbraith, with Nmperign member Greg Kelley, whose reinvention of the trumpet is as crucial now as Anthony Braxton's reinvention of the sax was 30 years ago. A screeching, soaring, scattergun array of noises come maniacally out of Greg's horn, unlike anything we've ever heard and he successfully straddles no wave, concrete and free jazz in a way that makes those genres seem like trite pigeonholes.
mv&ee with the golden road - moment spacing/bong judge - golden lab records - 7" - 8$
Yes, you heard us right. We just got this summer loving bliss festival of a record back from the pressing plant and it is everything we hoped it could be and more. Side A, "Moment Spacing" is a two-and-a-half-minute blast of "ooh-la-la-la-la-la" joy that wraps a posi+ aura around the world. B-side, 'Bong Judge' is the stoned, slowed down, phaser-drenched, stretched-out basement tapes version of (almost unrecognisably) the same song running at six+ minutes. The most beautiful record we think we'll hear all year. (And we sold half of the 500 copies in the first week, so be quick if you want one). Featuring:
"Moment Spacing" mv * guitars/vox, ee * vox, willie lane * guitar, sparrow wildchild * vox, janane tripp * vox, chris livingood * vox; "Bong Judge" mv * guitars/vox ee * lap steel, willie lane * guitar, samara lubelski * bass, john moloney * drums
Want one? Then do it.

beach fuzz w/dave jackson -nosferatu hex - golden lab records -cdr - 8$
. It's the final Beach Fuzz recording made with Barry Dean on drums and also features the eyeball-melting saxophonic skree of Solar Fire Trio's Dave Jackson. It was recorded in Warrington on 29th Oct '08 and is a more melodic yet typically cacophonous jam than previous releases. We hope you dig. Ltd to 80 copies, sleeves printed on recycled card w/soya based ink, no less
