ARBOR:
Justin Meyers - The Amplitude of Neighbors - $6
Deep, enveloping tone-work of weight and substance. The honey-like richness of Roland's beloved Juno 60 synthesizer tone is augmented with a sine-wave generator and electronics for a very appealing fullness of sound. Side B begins in a similar position to the flip but forgoes its low swells and visceral rumbling in favor of exploring the upper frequency territory of the drone-scape. Incredibly focused and well-executed stuff.

DE STIJL
Circuit Des Yeux - Ode To Fidelity 7" - $5
Ok, I'm not super knowledgeable about Circuit Des Yeux -- she's a one-woman destroyer of sound, issuing mangled fragments of audio that somehow register as both song and noise collage. This record finds her in a mellower(from what I've heard) mode, still incredibly damaged. Honestly, this stuff works a little bit better in longer stretches than what fits on one side of a 45 but a nice record none-the-less.
Ed Askew - Here We Are Together Again/Yellow Dollars 7" - $5
Neither do I know much about Ed Askew. This is a pair of radio recordings from 1969, although they sound like they were beamed in from a parallel universe. On one hand, this is unmistakably folk music from the 60's, on the other Askew's strange voice can send shivers up the spine and he plays an unusual, many stringed instrument that shimmers away in the background just beyond registering as something familiar. The A-side is really where it's at, a long, beautiful track heavy with longing and otherworldly imagery. The B-side is a very 1960s political folk-rant -- not my style exactly but Askew's strong, unique lyrical voice shines through even when the overall message falls a little flat.

Evan Miller - Spool/Thread - $7
Made at the same time as the tape for Gel and the four-way Taterbug, Treetops, Abelar Scout split on Young Tapes, I believe, "Thread" and "Spool" and both drone-focused guitar pieces. "Thread" is directly in the mode of the other tapes of this period -- simple, focused and balanced -- while "Spool" is more emotional and less stoic, and rides a slow, ethereal melody. It's a gorgeous piece, very reminiscent of Last Days Last Nights-era Popul Vuh in the way that it's quietly ecstatic.

MISSISSIPPI RECORDS:
Kleenex/LiLiPUT - 1977-1983 4xLP - $45
V/A - In The Storm So Long LP - $10
1960s and 70s DIY gospel and electric gospel from Georgia -- raw, reverby and lo-fi. All in all a solid collection with a couple of total stunners.
Marisa Anderson - The Golden Hour LP - $10
Solo guitar work from Evolutionary Jass Band guitarist Marisa Anderson. Mississippi rarely makes forays into "contemporary" music but it's almost always with good reason(see also: the Sad Horse 7", Michael Hurley's new LP, Uke of Philips). Meditative and blown out, this is a very simple record that defies easy categorization -- improvised, without overdubs, and clearly influenced by early blues and Takoma Records style playing, the balance is however very much tipped to the side of feeling and emotion over virtuosity. Which isn't to say the playing here isn't stunning, but to say that it's stunning on it's own terms, which is as it should be.
Chalk Circle - Reflection LP - $11
First proper collection of recordings by this short-lived DC punk group whose best material deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the Neo Boys or the Petticoats.
Abner Jay - The True Story of Abner Jay LP - $10
Really glad to have this in stock along with the above record. This is the first collection of Abner Jay's music that Mississippi issued. Eric who runs Mississippi said that this was the record he was most proud to have released and I can attest to having listened to this LP again and again and again. If you've never heard Abner Jay, this record is the place to start. His is probably one of the greatest voices ever put to tape -- strong, vulnerable, hilarious and unbearably sad, all at once. Comes with facsimiles of some of his promotional pamphlets and fliers, all very funny, and a snapshot(same as one of the ones in the 10", different than in the first run of this LP).
V/A - Ishilan N-Tenere: Guitar Music From the Western Sahel LP - $12
Beautiful record of acoustic guitar based music from Africa. No crate digging here, this LP is made up of field recordings of contemporary groups, although you couldn't be blamed for thinking it was culled from records from the 60's or 70's(as I did when I heard it playing in a record store). Mellow, open, rhythmic. The Western Sahel refers to one side the stretch of land extending from one African coast to the other where the Sahara transitions into non-desert climate. This Western region is where Ali Farka Toure and Tinariwen come from, and I think the later group is probably the easiest reference point for the music on this LP, in terms of focusing on repetitive, interlocking, mid-tempo guitar lines. These recordings are completely unadorned by studio slickness, though. Not much else to say about this record, really -- it's great from start to finish, I listen to it all the time.

Dark, gritty TG-style industrial music from Clare Hubbard of Caethua. At first listen, seems to bear no resemblance to her folk/drone music but as the melodies reveal themselves, it is undoubtedly the work of her hand.

TONE FILTH:
Scott Goodwin - Referent - $7
Sparse, abstract electronics from Scott Goodwin of the mighty Operative, used to do Bonus.
WEIRD FOREST:
DJ Yo-Yo Dieting - Bubblethug LPx2 - $22
Very deep, very weird cough syrup hip-hop from Glamorous Pat (Indignant Senility, Diamond Catalog). Like no other record I own. The beats wobble in and out like a fever dream, but ultimately a totally ENJOYABLE listen, like not some weird, trying, intellectual thing.
Love Cry Want LPx2 - $22
Very deep, very weird cough syrup hip-hop from Glamorous Pat (Indignant Senility, Diamond Catalog). Like no other record I own. The beats wobble in and out like a fever dream, but ultimately a totally ENJOYABLE listen, like not some weird, trying, intellectual thing.
Extraordinary double LP of otherworldly "jazz" incorporating early 70s DIY electronics. From wild skronk to blissful, shimmering stasis. Absolutely classic.
WISEBLOOD MEDIA:
The Slaves - Ruins - $6
WUSS TAPES:
Taco Leg/Constant Mongrel split - $5
Good, clean, dumb fun from Australia. I be would surprised if any of the songs topped either two minutes or three chords, which is to say, this tape rules. Taco Leg got some sort of nod from Terminal Boredom recently, so they're on their way to making millions, no doubt. One of the two bands has a great song about Indiana Jones that gets stuck in my head all the time.
