If it happens at all, it happens naturally — and perhaps nobody knows that better than Seattle, Washington’s Band of Horses. Guitarist\/vocalist Ben Bridwell and bassist Mat Brooke formed Band of Horses in 2004, after the dissolution of their nearly ten-year run in northwest melancholic darlings Carissa’s Wierd. Carissa’s Wierd trafficked in sadly beautiful orchestral pop, whose songs told unflinching stories of heartbreak and loss, leavened with defeatist humor. And, Band of Horses rises from the ashes of that well-loved and short-lived band. After playing music with each other for over a decade, Bridwell and Brooke picked up together again when Bridwell began fleshing out his compositions post-Carissa’s. “It was really just a natural thing we started doing,” explains Bridwell. Buoyed by Bridwell’s warm, reverb-heavy vocals (which strangely channel a dichotomous blend of Wayne Coyne, Brian Wilson and Doug Martsch,) Band of Horses’ woodsy, dreamy songs ooze with amorphous tension, longing and hope. At times raggedly epic (“The Great Salt Lake”) and delicately pensive (“St. Augustine,” “Monsters”), Everything All the Time is an album painted gorgeously in fragile highs and lows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Band of Horses","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":31826158780512,"sku":"706901","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":31826158813280,"sku":"706902","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":31826158846048,"sku":"706904","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":32556526108768,"sku":"706906","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/1882\/9920\/files\/BandOfHorses_EverythingAllTheTime_LP_MockUp.jpg?v=1741201153"},{"product_id":"low_double-negative","title":"Double Negative","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2018, \u003ca title=\"Link: http:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/artists\/low\" href=\"http:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/artists\/low\"\u003eLow\u003c\/a\u003e will turn twenty-five. Since 1993, Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker—the married couple whose heaven-and-earth harmonies have always held the band’s center—have pioneered a subgenre, shrugged off its strictures, recorded a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/low\/christmas\"\u003eChristmas classic\u003c\/a\u003e, become a magnetic onstage force, and emerged as one of music’s most steadfast and vital vehicles for pulling light from our darkest emotional recesses. But Low will not commemorate its first quarter-century with mawkish nostalgia or safe runs through songbook favorites. Instead, in faithfully defiant fashion, Low will release its most brazen, abrasive (and, paradoxically, most empowering) album ever: \u003ci\u003eDouble Negative\u003c\/i\u003e, an unflinching eleven-song quest through snarling static and shattering beats that somehow culminates in the brightest pop song of Low’s career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make \u003ci\u003eDouble Negative\u003c\/i\u003e, Low reenlisted B.J. Burton, the quietly energetic and adventurous producer who has made records with James Blake, Sylvan Esso, and The Tallest Man on Earth in recent years while working as one of the go-to figures at Bon Iver’s home studio, April Base. Burton recorded Low’s last album, 2015’s \u003ci\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/low\/ones_and_sixes\"\u003eOnes and Sixes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, at April Base, adding might to many of its beats and squelch and frisson beneath many of its melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis time, though, Sparhawk, Parker, and bassist Steve Garrington knew they wanted to go further with Burton and his palette of sounds, to see what someone who is, as Sparhawk puts it, “a hip-hop guy” could truly do to their music. Rather than obsessively write and rehearse at home in Duluth, Minnesota, they would often head southeast to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, arriving with sketches and ideas that they would work on for days with Burton. Band and producer became collaborative cowriters, building the pieces up and breaking them down and building them again until their purpose and force felt clear. As the world outside seemed to slide deeper into instability, Low repeated this process for the better part of two years, pondering the results during tours and breaks at home. They considered not only how the fragments fit together but also how, in the United States of 2018, they functioned as statements and salves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDouble Negative\u003c\/i\u003e is, indeed, a record perfectly and painfully suited for our time. Loud and contentious and commanding, Low fights for the world by fighting against it. It begins in pure bedlam, with a beat built from a loop of ruptured noise waging war against the paired voices of Sparhawk and Parker the moment they begin to sing during the massive “Quorum.” For forty minutes, they indulge the battle, trying to be heard amid the noisy grain, sometimes winning and sometimes being tossed toward oblivion. In spite of the mounting noise, Sparhawk and Parker still sing. Or maybe they sing because of the noise.

At its release, we will have been a band for over 13 years. We have now written and released a total of 77 songs together. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast year, we released an album of b-sides and rarities. It felt like a good step for us. It helped us clean the creative closet, put the past to bed, and start anew. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the process of recording \u003ci\u003e7\u003c\/i\u003e, our goal was rebirth and rejuvenation. We wanted to rethink old methods and shed some self-imposed limitations. In the past, we often limited our writing to parts that we could perform live. On \u003ci\u003e7\u003c\/i\u003e, we decided to follow whatever came naturally. As a result, there are some songs with no guitar, and some without keyboard. There are songs with layers and production that we could never recreate live, and that is exciting to us. Basically, we let our creative moods, instead of instrumentation, dictate the album’s feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the past, the economics of recording have dictated that we write for a year, go to the studio, and record the entire record as quickly as possible. We have always hated this because by the time the recording happens, a certain excitement about older songs has often been lost. This time, we built a \"home\" studio, and began all of the songs there.  Whenever we had a group of 3-4 songs that we were excited about, we would go to a “proper” recording studio and finish recording them there. This way, the amount of time between the original idea and the finished song was pretty short (of the album’s 11 songs, 8\rwere finished at Carriage House in Stamford, CT and 2 at Palmetto Studio in Los\rAngeles).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e7\u003c\/i\u003e didn’t have a producer in the traditional sense. We much\rpreferred this, as it felt like the ideas drove the creativity, not any one\rperson’s process. James Barone, who became our live drummer in 2016, played on\rthe entire record. His tastes and the trust we have in him really helped us\rkeep rhythm at the center of a lot of these songs. We also worked with Sonic\rBoom (Peter Kember). Peter became a great force on this record, in the shedding\rof conventions and in helping to keep the songs alive, fresh and protected from\rthe destructive forces of recording studio over-production\/over-perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe societal insanity of 2016-17 was also deeply influential, as\rit must be for most artists these days. Looking back, there is quite a bit of\rchaos happening in these songs, and a pervasive dark field that we had\rlittle control over. The discussions surrounding women’s issues were a constant\rsource of inspiration and questioning. The energy, lyrics and moods of much of\rthis record grew from ruminations on the roles, pressures and conditions that\rour society places on women, past and present. The twisted double edge of\rglamour, with its perils and perfect moments, was an endless source (see\r“L’Inconnue,” “Drunk in LA,” “Woo,” “Girl Of The Year,” “Last Ride”).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn a more general sense, we are interested by the human mind's\r(and nature’s) tendency to create forces equal and opposite to those present.\rThematically, this record often deals with the beauty that arises in dealing\rwith darkness; the empathy and love that grows from collective trauma; the\rplace one reaches when they accept rather than deny (see “Dark Spring,” “Pay No\rMind,” “Lemon Glow,” “Dive,” “Black Car,” “Lose Your Smile”).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe title, \u003ci\u003e7\u003c\/i\u003e, itself is simply a number that\rrepresents our seventh record.

Soon after opening Reciprocal Recording in July 1986, there I was with Soundgarden, trying to make the most of our eight tracks. Somehow, we found room for all of Matt Cameron’s ‘bonus tubs,’ Hiro’s primordial Fender bass, and a whopping four tracks to share between Kim Thayil’s mad guitar psychedelia and Chris Cornell’s still-expanding voice. ‘Nothing To Say’ was the song that made us all look at each other and go, ‘uh, holy crap, how did we do this?’\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eStuff started happening.

What I call it is totally arbitrary, but I like the name.  You’ve got to have a name.  I never got to choose mine.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eHe goes on, “‘People who make records are afforded this assumption by the culture that their music is coming from an exclusively personal place, but more often than not what you hear are actually the affectations of an ’alter-ego’ or a cartoon of an emotionally heightened persona,” says Josh Tillman, who has been recording\/releasing solo albums since 2003 and who recently left Seattle’s Fleet Foxes after playing drums from 2008-2011.  “That kind of emotional quotient isn’t sustainable if your concern is portraying a human-being made up of more than just chest-beating pathos.  I see a lot of rampant, sexless, male-fantasy everywhere in the music around me.  I didn’t want any alter-egos, any vagaries, fantasy, escapism, any over-wrought sentimentality.  I like humor and sex and mischief.  So when you think about it, it’s kind of mischievous to write about yourself in a plain-spoken, kind of explicitly obvious way and call it something like ‘Misty’.

Tillman’s voice has never been better and often sounds like Roy Orbison, “The Caruso of Rock”, at his most joyous, while the music maintains a dark, mysterious and yet conversely playful, almost Dionysian quality.  Lyrically, his absurdist fever dreams of pain and pleasure elicit, in equal measures, the blunt descriptive power of Bukowski or Brautigan, the hedonist-philosophy of Oscar Wilde and the dried-out wit of Loudon Wainwright \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eIII\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eThe album began gestating during what Tillman describes as an “immobilizing period of depression”, in his former Seattle home.  “Songwriting for me had always only been interesting and necessary because I saw it as this vehicle for truth, but I had this realization that all I had really done with it was lick my wounds for years and years, and become more and more isolated from people and experiences.  I don’t even like wound-licking music, I want to listen to someone rip their arm off and beat themselves with it.  I don’t believe that until now I’ve ever put anything at risk in my music.  I was hell-bent on putting my preciousness at stake in order to find something worth singing about.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eHe continues, \"I lost all interest in writing music, or identifying as a ‘songwriter’.  I got into my van with enough mushrooms to choke a horse and started driving down the coast with nowhere to go.  After a few weeks, I was writing a novel, which is where I finally found my narrative voice.  The voice that is actually useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e“It was a while before that voice started manifesting in a musical way, but once I settled in the Laurel Canyon spider-shack where I’m living now, I spent months demoing all these weird-ass songs about weird-ass experiences almost in real-time, and kind of had this musical ‘Oh-there-I-am’ moment, identical to how I felt when I was writing the book.  It was unbelievably liberating.  I knew there was never any going back to the place I was writing from before, which was a huge relief.  The monkey got banished off my back.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eTillman brought the demos to LA producer\/songwriter\/pal Jonathan Wilson, and in February 2011 began recording at his home-studio in Echo Park.  \"Initially, the idea was to just kind of recreate the demos with me playing everything, since they were pretty fleshed out and sounded cool, but a place like LA affords you a different wealth of talent, potential, etc than just about anywhere else.  I realized what was possible between Jonathan’s abilities, and the caliber of musicians that are just hanging around LA, pretty quickly.  People were coming in and out of the studio all day sometimes, and other days, it would just be Jonathan and I holed up, getting stoned, and doing everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e“I was honest with myself about what music actually excites my joy-glands when I was considering the arrangements and instrumentation,” says Tillman.  “As opposed to what’s been enjoyable to me in the past – namely, alienating people or making choices based on what I think people won’t like or understand.  Pretty narcissistic stuff.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eWhen asked about Laurel Canyon, where he eventually ended up living in the aforementioned tree-house with a family of spiders, Tillman says, “My attitude about it all is pretty explicit in the record.  Given my fairly adversarial personal attitude about the music and aesthetic that comes from that place, it’s kind of a huge joke that I live in a former hippie-fantasy land.  I have a really morbid sense of humor.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003ePhil Ek (who everyone knows has worked with Built To Spill, Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes) heard the rough versions of the album in May 2011 and offered his services to mix.  “Phil and I have known each other for a while by virtue of Fleet Foxes, so he was familiar with my music, but we had never discussed working together.

The resulting sound is entirely his own. He takes the listener down desert highways, through a world where worn out gamblers, road-dogs, and lovesick hustlers drift in and out of his masked gaze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrville’s debut album, Pony, delivers a diverse collection of stories that sing of heartbreak, revenge and the unrelenting tug of the cowboy ethos.

Their whirlwind romance takes us on a dusty trail of memories - racing down canyon highways, hitchhiking through casino towns and ultimately, ending in tragedy. Orville recalls the adventures of his young love, as he watches the boys silently pass him on the strip, haunted by the happy memories of his past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the campfire lullaby, “Big Sky,” Orville sings about his past lovers - an aloof biker, an abusive boxer and an overly protective jailor in the Florida Keys - and the inevitable demise of each one, as he leaves them for the wide open, big sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile “Turn To Hate” finds Orville struggling to keep his resentment from building into hatred. A continuous battle between embracing the strength and freedom of being an outsider, and the inevitable struggle of wanting normalcy and familiarity. It encapsulates Orville's dilemma as a cowboy. He sings about having to constantly repair situations in his wake, and fighting with himself over his decision making. To stay or go; to cry or not; whether to leave without saying goodbye in order to soften the blow; All the while wishing someone would tell him that they \"can't stay,\" and to make the decision for him.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd “Buffalo Run” acts as a warning, a song built around the imagery of stampeding buffalo in the badlands of the Northern Plains.

Or, possibly, it is a mysterious savant named Edgar Graham, who imposed himself on Modest Mouse at the Denver show of the band’s 1998 tour, introduced himself as Ugly Casanova, and, through a haze of unnerving instability, shared some rough songs with the band. His songs, though delivered hesitantly... shamefully, even... displayed unmistakable talent. By the end of Modest Mouse’s tour, Casano- va, with much reluctance, was persuaded to record some of these songs and hand them over to record labels for issue as singles or parts of compilations. Predictably, immediately after he had done so, he disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther than a sheaf of ramblings delivered to Modest Mouse’s singer Isaac Brock in the summer of 1999 that then inspired that band’s The Moon and Antarctica nothing had been heard from Casanova in years and those that still thought of him grew fewer. Then in November of 2001, a faded and water-damaged bundle was discovered among a stack of old packages during one of those general decontamination purges that so often follows a mail scare. Addressed simply to “Sub Pop, Seattle, WA,” there was little evidence of its origin. Inside, swathed in tape, Silly Putty and pelts of three identifiable rodents was a greeting from the long-lost Graham. Numerous tapes and a list of requests that alternated between raving demands for destruction of said tapes and meek pleas for recognition of their contents were extracted from the mess of the package. Fortunately Sub Pop recognized that the tapes held promise, and released them in 2002 as Sharpen Your Teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil such time as Graham\/Casanova resurfaces to take credit for his work and add a bit more to whatever understanding of him still exists, Sharpen Your Teeth will have to suffice. Produced by Brian Deck and Isaac Brock at Glacial Pace Studios (Oregon), Ugly Casanova’s songs are here performed by Misters Brock and Deck, as well as John Orth (Holopaw), Tim Rutili (Califone, Red Red Meat), Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), and a handful of like-minded collaborators.

Take for instance, lead single “No Going Back” which marries a summertime vibes of Tame Impala,” the surreal, R\u0026amp;B atmospherics of Frank Ocean and, well, Len’s “Steal My Sunshine.” It’s a collection of songs that chimes with pop’s increasing lack of concern for genre. It’s the opposite of tribal, as multicultural and diverse as a ride on the New York City subway, across all five boroughs. It can’t be attributed to one particular origin of sound or vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYuno continues, “I don’t really go anywhere in Jacksonville. I don’t drive. I spend a lot of time in my bedroom.” Thus, the six song collection sounds like a collage of bedroom posters. “So Slow,” for instance, would be a Washed Out flyer sat next to a piece of Kid Cudi artwork, whereas “Why For” with its squealing Wavves guitars would probably be represented by a big weed sticker or some Sleigh Bells ticket stubs. It’s deeply creative and visual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe continues “I knew in high school that I wanted to do music. Drawing had been my thing when I was really young, then I started to make videos in middle school with my friend – little skits. Then I began playing guitar.” In eighth grade his cousin taught him how to make beats, and that’s when Yuno arguably began. His dad also bought him a $20 guitar at a flea market. Despite his mom insisting he get lessons, he taught himself by learning online guitar tabs, mostly for metal bands. “I’d bring my guitar to school every day.” He’s learned how to sing over pop punk songs too, hence the abrasive nature of his vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSub Pop found Yuno via Ishmael Butler of Shabazz Palaces and Digable Planets fame, who’s on the A\u0026amp;R staff for the label. He stumbled upon Yuno on Soundcloud and kept a close eye on him. Similar to Ish, Yuno is encouraged by the genre-bending age of melody we’re living through, citing Lil Uzi Vert and Young Thug as sources of influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"m_1672311616972186706gmail-docs-internal-guid-850b7ddb-ef52-542c-1a3c-14193b549b5c\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe multiple flavors of sound also reflect the breadth of feeling that he’s chasing in the writing. \u003ci\u003eMoodie\u003c\/i\u003e – the EP’s title – clearly relates to his surname, but it’s also channeling the emotional variety of the tracks. “It covers all the different feelings you have at the end of a relationship,” he notes. “Sometimes you’re really happy to be moving on, other times you’re really upset to see something go.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-aa68b748-5ace-af7a-539e-082d5e6b51f8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yuno","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":31826368397408,"sku":"712361","price":10.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":31826368430176,"sku":"712362","price":9.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":31826368462944,"sku":"712364","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":32556512313440,"sku":"712366","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/1882\/9920\/products\/yuno-moodie-3000cover.jpg?v=1581647003"},{"product_id":"iron-and-wine_the-creek-drank-the-cradle","title":"The Creek Drank the Cradle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Creek Drank the Cradle\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with hushed, restrained vocals, affecting lyrics from a naturalist’s perspective, exploring relationships and the hope born from them, all of which come across as though whispered to you personally, accompanied by guitar, banjo, slide guitar… Taken as a whole, \u003cem\u003eThe Creek Drank the Cradle, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca title=\"Link: https:\/\/www.subpop.com\/artists\/iron_and_wine\" href=\"https:\/\/www.subpop.com\/artists\/iron_and_wine\"\u003eIron \u0026amp; Wine’s\u003c\/a\u003e debut album, is an ode to an older South; a part of America that is defined by “traditional values,” pastoral imagery and arcane manners.

TAD was led by the physically imposing yet incredibly sweet singer\/guitarist TAD Doyle, with bassist Kurt Danielson (ex-Bundle of Hiss), drummer Steve Wied, and guitarist Gary Thorstensen. With an image that sometimes cast the band as deranged lumberjacks, and influence from Head of David and Killdozer, TAD put a uniquely rain-and-fog-coated Northwest spin on ‘80s underground rock.

In the time since the above was written. The band found that listeners were more ready for them than they’d first imagined. Before 2013’s \u003ci\u003eMidcity\u003c\/i\u003e, the trio of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson did not expect to find an audience for their abrasive brand of rap music. But since the formation of clipping. and the release of their debut album, the field of commercial music enlarged ever so slightly, making room again for noisier, more adventurous elements in electronic production. Examples of this have been incremental, mere baby steps, so far. And despite clipping.’s insistence that they’re really just making rap— not noise-rap, industrial-rap, or any other mashup genre— their music might be more sonically challenging than that of the punkish rap rockers, lo-fi bedroom producers, and street goth hybridists they’ve been lumped with so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSure clipping. sound fucked up, but for them, sounding that way isn’t a criticism of anything. It doesn’t mean they hate, or are out to destroy rap that doesn’t sound like theirs. The band makes its music in a genuine attempt to contribute productively to the form, to offer what they can to the genre they love. clipping. see themselves as respectfully following the path first explored by rap’s pioneering sound designers like The Bomb Squad and Dr. Dre— those producers who were inventing a new language as they worked, and especially those who smuggled industrial soundscapes and musique-concrète techniques into mainstream music and popularized a sound that felt as tough as the stories its lyrics told.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, they don’t see themselves as doing anything too different from the various trajectories of experimentation in recent rap production, and believe the genre is reaching out in many different directions at once. clipping. imagine their work as simply one method among many— no more or less avant-garde than the stark, unrelenting soundscapes coming out of Chicago, the psychedelic blur of contemporary Atlanta rap, the ultra-minimal party clap currently dominating the West Coast, or the off-kilter post-backpack sound of their label mates Shabazz Palaces. Rap music is getting weird again, and clipping. are proud to be around to witness and participate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyrically, clipping.’s music attempts to reshuffle and repeat accepted rap scenarios, while eliminating a traditional single-point perspective. Diggs’s writing is heavily citational, like a rough-edged collage, gluing together half-glimpsed images and misremembered references, many of which might feel familiar, and some of which assuredly do not. But even while he consumes and regurgitates established styles, his self-erasure is incomplete; Diggs’s dense, often motormouthed flow remains wholly his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band formed in 2009. Initially conceived as a remix project, Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson began composing new beats to accompany mainstream and gangster rap acapellas. These early attempts paired noise and power-electronics inspired tracks with existing vocals by commercial rap artists. This was done simply to amuse each other and the duo earned very few fans. clipping. began in earnest in 2010, when rapper Daveed Diggs joined the group. The three members had known each other for many years— Diggs and Hutson since elementary school, and Snipes since college. Despite this, clipping. is their first project as a trio, building on their long relationship and on their shared obsession with rap, and with music’s outer limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndividually, the members are known outside of the group for their extra-curricular artistic projects. Diggs is a stage actor, while Snipes composes music for film, and Hutson is an established noise music artist. Snipes and Hutson have collaborated on many projects, including the score to the documentary \u003ci\u003eRoom 237\u003c\/i\u003e, which was released by IFC in 2013.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn February 2013, clipping. released their debut album, \u003ci\u003eMidcity\u003c\/i\u003e, on their website. The project was created entirely in-house, with the trio writing, producing, engineering, mixing and mastering all of the material themselves. There was no budget, no outside promotion, no hype-machine, no blog or label interest. In fact, clipping. had no expectation that anyone would bother listening to the album, let alone enjoy it. Nevertheless, reactions were largely positive— despite the uncompromising nature of the production, and its obfuscatory lyrical content— and within five month’s of \u003ci\u003eMidcity\u003c\/i\u003e’s release, clipping. signed a deal with Sub Pop Records.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eCLPPNG\u003c\/i\u003e, the band’s label debut, was written and recorded between February and October of 2013. Although clipping.’s working methods were pretty much the same as they were for \u003ci\u003eMidcity\u003c\/i\u003e (only passing off the mixing and mastering to outside professionals) \u003ci\u003eCLPPNG\u003c\/i\u003e is a much more ambitious project. The album features guest verses from some of the band’s strongest influences, including Gangsta Boo (formerly of Three 6 Mafia, and currently of Da Mafia 6ix), Guce (longtime Bay Area mainstay, member of Bullys Wit Fullys), King T (all-around West Coast gangster rap legend, founder of the Likwit Crew, and mentor to Xzibit and Tha Alkaholiks). For the first single from the album, “Work Work”,  clipping. joined up with Cocc Pistol Cree, a newcomer from Compton best known for her appearance on DJ Mustard’s mixtape \u003ci\u003eKetchup,\u003c\/i\u003e and her song ‘Lady Killa.’ \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn addition to the featured guests, \u003ci\u003eCLPPNG\u003c\/i\u003e boasts a more varied sonic palette than its predecessor. The new album attempts to stretch the band’s experimental sounds to fit a wider emotional range— \u003ci\u003eMidcity\u003c\/i\u003e had anger and aggression figured out, but how can clipping.’s harsh electronics fit into a club track, or a slow jam, or a song to strip to? Relying heavily on musique-concrète techniques, the trio built many of the tracks out of field recordings and acoustic sounds. The beat for “Tonight (featuring Gangsta Boo)” evokes a nasty, late night encounter with its fleshy slaps and squishy, biological noises, while “Dream” utilizes natural ambiences to create a bleary, hypnagogic mis-en-scène. But the band hasn’t gone soft, not by a long shot. The album’s intro is likely the most uncompromisingly brutal piece of music they’ve yet recorded, and “Or Die (featuring Guce)” is as mean as anything on \u003ci\u003eMidcity\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eCLPPNG\u003c\/i\u003e is an album that demonstrates the variety of sounds available when the ‘rules’ of a genre are willfully questioned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"clipping.","offers":[{"title":"Color 2xLP","offer_id":40973857882208,"sku":"710713","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":31826468143200,"sku":"710711","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":31826468175968,"sku":"710712","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":32556517326944,"sku":"710716","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/1882\/9920\/files\/Clipping_CLPPNG_10thAnniversary_LP_MockUp.jpg?v=1718121613"},{"product_id":"low_cmon","title":"C'mon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eC’mon\u003c\/cite\u003e is the shortest title of any Low album, which seems fitting, as it also ranks among the most succinct and straightforward entries in their variegated discography.

The band took full advantage of Sacred Heart’s high, vaulted ceilings, natural reverb, and audible affinity for organ sounds and group singing. The thunder-crack percussion that peppers the final minute of the slowly unfolding “Majesty\/Magic” is just one example of this dynamic in action. With its jangly guitars and sweet vocal harmonies, opener “Try to Sleep” sets the album’s tone: Warmer, fuller and more introspective.

Enter \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/artists\/clipping\"\u003eClipping\u003c\/a\u003e, flash fiction genre masters in a hip-hop world firmly rooted in memoir. If first person confessionals historically reign, the mid-city Los Angeles trio of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes have spent the last half-decade terraforming their own patch of soil, replete with conceptual labyrinths and industrial chaos. They have conjured a mutant emanation of the future, built at odd angles atop the hallowed foundation of the past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir third album for Sub Pop, There Existed an Addiction to Blood, finds them interpreting another rap splinter sect through their singular lens. This is clipping’s transmutation of horrorcore, a purposefully absurdist and creatively significant sub-genre that flourished in the mid-90s. If some of its most notable pioneers included Brotha Lynch Hung and Gravediggaz, it also encompasses seminal works from the Geto Boys, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and the near-entirety of classic Memphis cassette tape rap. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most subversive and experimental rap has often presented itself as an “alternative” to conventional sounds, but Clipping respectfully warp them into new constellations. There Existed an Addiction to Blood absorbs the hyper-violent horror tropes of the Murder Dog era, but re-imagines them in a new light: still darkly-tinted and somber, but in a weirder and more vivid hue. If traditional horrorcore was akin to Blacula, the hugely popular blaxploitation flick from the early 70s, Clipping’s latest is analogous to Ganja \u0026amp; Hess, the blood-sipping 1973 cult classic regarded as an unsung landmark of black independent cinema, whose score the band samples on “Blood of the Fang.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the opening “Intro,” Clipping summon an unsettling eeriness. Diggs sounds like he’s rapping through a drive-thru speaker about the bottom falling out, bodies hitting the floor, and recurrent ghosts. You hear ambient noises, footsteps and shovels. The hairs on your arms stick up like bayonets. You can practically see the knife’s edge, sharp and luminous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach song contains its own premise and conceptual bent. There is “Nothing is Safe,” a reversal of Assault on Precinct 13, where the band create their own version of a John Carpenter-inspired rap beat and the cops are the ones raiding a trap house. Diggs sketches the narrative from the perspective of the victims, full of lurid and visceral details and intricate wordplay. The windows are boarded and sealed, the product simmers on the stove, the bodies sleep fitfully in shifts. Then law enforcement arrives and the bullets start to fly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“He Dead” turns police officers into werewolves while Diggs flips Kendrick Lamar’s “Riggamortis” into something gravely literal.“All In Your Head” finds Clipping re-contextualizing the pimp talk of Suga Free and Too $hort into a metaphor for an Exorcist-style possession. The album contains interludes featuring hissing recordings of demonic invasions and guest appearances from Griselda Gang’s Benny the Butcher and Hypnotize Minds horror queen La Chat. Other tracks feature contributions from noise music legends The Rita and Pedestrian Deposit. It all ends with “Piano Burning,” a performance of a piece written by the avant-garde composer Annea Lockwood. Yes, it is the sound of a piano burning.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the hands of the less imaginative or less virtuosic, it could come off as overwrought or pretentious. Instead, Clipping annex new terrain for a sub-genre often left for dead. In its own way, one could compare what they’ve accomplished to Tarantino’s post-modern reworkings of critically overlooked but creatively fertile blaxploitation, horror and spaghetti western cinema. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything fits neatly into the broader scope of the band’s career, which has seen them expand from insular experimentalists into globally recognized artists. Since the release of their first album in 2013, Diggs has won a Tony and a Grammy, as well as co-written and starred in 2018’s critically hailed Blindspotting, while Snipes and Hutson have scored numerous films and television shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClipping’s last album, the 2016 afro-futurist dystopian space opus \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/clipping\/splendor_and_misery\"\u003eSplendor \u0026amp; Misery\u003c\/a\u003e was recently named one of Pitchfork’s Best Industrial Albums of All-Time. Commissioned for an episode of “This American Life,” their 2017 single “The Deep” became the inspiration for a novel of the same name, written by Rivers Solomon and published by Saga Press. But it’s their latest masterwork that embodies what the band had been building towards — a work that finds them without peer. This is experimental hip-hop built to bang in a post-apocalyptic club bursting with radiation. It’s horror-core that soaks up past blood and replants it into a different organism, undead but dangerously alive. It is a new sun, blindingly bright and built to burn your retinas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"clipping.","offers":[{"title":"Deluxe","offer_id":31826578440288,"sku":"713303","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":31826578473056,"sku":"713301","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":31826578505824,"sku":"713302","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":32611737239648,"sku":"713304","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":32556523847776,"sku":"713306","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/1882\/9920\/products\/clipping-teaatb-3600px.jpg?v=1581652058"},{"product_id":"weyes-blood_titanic-rising","title":"Titanic Rising","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe phantom zone, the parallax, the upside down—there is a rich cultural history of exploring in-between places. Through her latest,\u003ci\u003e Titanic Rising\u003c\/i\u003e, Weyes Blood (a.k.a. Natalie Mering) has, too, designed her own universe to soulfully navigate life’s\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003emysteries.

The latter captures the album’s willful expansiveness (“You can tell there’s not a guy pulling the strings in Enya’s studio,” she notes, admiringly). The former relays her imperative to connect with listeners. “The clarity of Bob Seger is unmistakable. I’m a big fan of conversational songwriting,” she adds. “I just try to do that in a way that uses abstract imagery as well.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“An\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ealbum is like a Rubik’s Cube,” she says. “Sometimes you get all the dimensions—the lyrics, the melody, the production—to line up. I try to be futuristic and ancient at once, which is a difficult alchemy. It’s taken a lot of different tries to get it right.” As concept-album as it may sound, it’s also a devoted exercise in realism, albeit occasionally magical. Here, the throwback-cinema grandeur of “A Lot’s Gonna Change” gracefully coexists with the otherworldly title track, an ominous instrumental.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eTitanic Rising\u003c\/i\u003e, written and recorded during the first half of 2018, is the culmination of three albums and years of touring: stronger chops and ballsier decisions. It’s an achievement in transcendent vocals and levitating arrangements—one she could reach only by flying under the radar for so many years. “I used to want to belong,” says the L.A. based musician. “I realized I had to forge my own path. Nobody was going to do that for me. That was liberating. I became a Joan of Arc solo musician.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Weyes Blood frontwoman grew up singing in gospel and madrigal choirs. “Classical and Renaissance music really influenced me,” says Mering, who first picked up a guitar at age 8. (Listen closely to \u003ci\u003eTitanic Rising\u003c\/i\u003e, and you’ll also hear the jazz of Hoagy Carmichael mingle with the artful mysticism of Alejandro Jodorowsky and the monomyth of scholar Joseph Campbell.) “Something to Believe,” a confessional that makes judicious use of the slide guitar, touches on that cosmological upbringing. “Belief is something all humans need. Shared myths are part of our psychology and survival,” she says. “Now we have a weird mishmash of capitalism and movies and science. There have been moments where I felt very existential and lost.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a kid, she filled that void with \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e. (Yes, the movie.) “It was engineered for little girls and had its own mythology,” she explains. Mering also noticed that the blockbuster romance actually offered a story about loss born of man’s hubris. “It’s so symbolic that \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e would crash into an iceberg, and now that iceberg is melting, sinking civilization.” Today, this hubris also extends to the relentless adoption of technology, at the expense of both happiness and attention spans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe track “Movies” marks another \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e-related epiphany, “that movies had been brainwashing people and their ideas about romantic love.” To that end, Mering has become an expert at deconstructing intimacy. Sweeping and string-laden, “Andromeda” seems engineered to fibrillate hearts. “It’s about losing your interest in trying to be in love,” she says. “Everybody is their own galaxy, their own separate entity. There is a feeling of needing to be saved, and that’s a lot to ask of people.” Its companion track, “Everyday,” “is about the chaos of modern dating,” she says, “the idea of sailing off onto your ships to nowhere to deal with all your baggage.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003eBut Weyes Blood isn’t one to stew. Her observations play out in an ethereal saunter: far more meditative than cynical. “I experience reality on a slower, more hypnotic level,” she says. “I’m a more contemplative kind of writer.” To Mering, listening and thinking are concurrent experiences. “There are complicated influences mixed in with more relatable nostalgic melodies,” she says. “In my mind my music feels so big, a true production. I’m not a huge, popular artist, but I feel like one when I’m in the studio. But it’s never taking away from the music.

As the insufferable film bro Randy explains in Scream 2, “There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to create a successful sequel. Number one: the body count is always bigger. Number two: the death scenes are always much more elaborate—more blood, more gore. Carnage candy. And number three: never, ever, under any circumstances, assume the killer is dead.” Last Halloween, Los Angeles experimental rap mainstays Clipping ended their three-year silence with the horrorcore-inspired album \u003ca title=\"Link: https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/clipping\/there_existed_an_addiction_to_blood\" href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/releases\/clipping\/there_existed_an_addiction_to_blood\"\u003eThere Existed an Addiction to Blood\u003c\/a\u003e.

Before the release of There Existed an Addiction to Blood, Clipping and Sub Pop Records divided the material up into two albums, designed to be released only months apart. However, a global pandemic and multiple canceled tours pushed the release of the project’s “part two” until the following Halloween season. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisions of Bodies Being Burned contains sixteen more scary stories disguised as rap songs, incorporating as much influence from Ernest Dickerson, Clive Barker, and Shirley Jackson as it does from Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Brotha Lynch Hung. Clipping are never critical of their cultural references. Their angular, shattered interpretations of existing musical styles are always deferential, driven by fandom for the object of study rather than disdain for it. Clipping reimagine horrorcore—the purposely absurdist hip-hop subgenre that flourished in the 1990s—the way Jordan Peele does horror cinema: by twisting beloved tropes to make explicit their own radical politics of monstrosity, fear, and the uncanny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere’s a well-worn adage in film scholarship that says: Every era gets the monster it deserves—meaning during each period of history, different monsters come to embody the specific sociopolitical anxieties of the time: Bela Lugosi’s Dracula and antisemitism, Godzilla and the atom bomb, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and McCarthyism, Anne Rice’s vampires and the AIDS crisis. While these figures are largely reactionary, Clipping intentionally recast their figures of monstrosity through the lens of an antiracist, antipatriarchal, anticolonial politics to address the struggles of our current era. The album’s first single, “Say the Name,” transforms Scarface’s evocative lyric from “Mind Playing Tricks on Me”—“Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned”—into a screwed-down Chicago ghetto house loop, mixing together a palette of inspirations from 90s industrial music to a certain mirror-bound, bee-keeping, hook-handed former-slave\/urban legend. The second single, “’96 Neve Campbell” is a tribute to the self-aware “final girl” character of the post-slasher film cycle, featuring Inglewood’s Cam \u0026amp; China, who prove they do more than survive the masked killer—they preemptive-strike his ass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band also connected with fellow noise-rap pioneers Ho99o9 for the song “Looking Like Meat,” which more closely resembles the full-on sonic assault of Clipping’s first album, Midcity, than any of their music since. Among Clipping’s peers, Ho99o9 reveal themselves to be the perfect collaborators to fit into the album’s thematic world. Eaddy and theOGM deliver the most unhinged, viscerally alarming moment on the entire record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach track pairs a different expression of horror with one of Clipping’s signature metamorphic takes on a hip-hop subgenre. “Eaten Alive” pays tribute to the Tobe Hooper film of the same name, aping the swampy drag of No Limit and their ilk over a jagged jazz-rap instrumental featuring Tortoise guitar genius Jeff Parker, and experimental LA drummer Ted Byrnes. “Enlacing” posits Lovecraftian cosmic terror as the result of a psychedelic drift into nothingness, played as a smeary, cloud rap haze. “Pain Everyday” uses real EVP recordings—said to be the voices of restless spirits—atop a cinematic, Venetian Snares-like breakcore collage, as a call-to-arms for the ghosts of lynching victims to haunt the white descendants of their murderers. And “Check the Lock” is a spiritual sequel to Seagram’s classic track “Sleepin in My Nikes,” describing a drug kingpin’s paranoid descent into madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile There Existed an Addiction to Blood ended in an all-cleansing fire, Visions of Bodies Being Burned concludes with the break of dawn in a forest, providing the false hope that those who have survived the horror thus far might just be safe for good. The final track, “Secret Piece,” is a performance of a Yoko Ono text score from 1953 that instructs the players to “Decide on one note that you want to play\/Play it with the following accompaniment: the woods from 5am to 8am in summer,” and features nearly all of the musicians who appeared on both albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince their last album, Daveed Diggs—the group’s Tony and Grammy Award-winning rapper—has starred in the TNT science fiction series, Snowpiercer, voiced a character in Pixar’s Soul, and portrayed Frederick Douglass in Showtime’s The Good Lord Bird. Writer Rivers Solomon’s novella based on Clipping’s Hugo-nominated song “The Deep” has been nominated for the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards, and won the Lambda Literary Award for best LGBTQ SF\/Fantasy\/Horror novel. Clipping’s song “Chapter 319”—a tribute to George Floyd (AKA Big Floyd) the former DJ-Screw affiliated rapper who was murdered by police officers in May of 2020—was released on Bandcamp on June 19th and raised over $20,000 for racial justice charities. A clip of the song also became a popular meme on TikTok, generating over 50,000 videos in which leftist teenagers rapped the song’s lyrics (“Donald Trump is a white supremacist, full stop…”) directly into the frowning faces of their conservative parents. The band also contributed a Skinny Puppy-esque rework of J-Kwon’s “Tipsy” to Save Stereogum: An ‘00s Covers Comp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 2020’s Record Store Day, Clipping released Double Live, a collaboration with sound artist Christopher Fleeger. All the audio was recorded during Clipping’s 2017 tour opening for the Flaming Lips, but the microphones weren’t pointed at the band. Instead, mics were placed in toilets, taped to ceiling pipes, tied to trees, worn by roadies, hidden all over venues. The results were then synchronized and edited over more than a year. Double Live is perhaps more a musique concrète experiment than a traditional live album. On the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon said it sounded “Weird.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his “Album of the Week” review for Stereogum, Tom Breihan described There Existed an Addiction to Blood as “cold, confrontational music, even when it slaps, which it often does.” Visions of Bodies Being Burned slaps even more often than its predecessor, although perhaps the only club it will do so in will be the burnt-out, radiation-poisoned rave of some science fiction dystopia. Their new album finds Clipping building upon the language of their already-revolutionary music, while still making the trunk rattle on dilapidated hearses and demon-possessed Plymouth Furys. Never, ever, under any circumstances, assume the killer is dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"clipping.","offers":[{"title":"Loser (color) 2xLP","offer_id":32615742570592,"sku":"713310","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":32615742603360,"sku":"713311","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":32615742636128,"sku":"713312","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":32615742668896,"sku":"713314","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":32615742701664,"sku":"713316","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/1882\/9920\/products\/clipping-vobbb-2400px.jpg?v=1598462011"},{"product_id":"l7_smell-the-magic-remastered","title":"Smell the Magic (Remastered)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-1c8517b1-7fff-2554-b4d7-5eac44ab6295\"\u003eThis 30th-anniversary edition of the ‘90s underground rock classic Smell the Magic includes all 9 songs from the album, remastered and available together on vinyl for the first time ever!

Aside from a friendly reminder that this is the album with the smash hit “New Slang,” as heard in the hit movie Garden State, we just need to note that the remastering job truly makes this the album James Mercer always wanted it to be. Never quite satisfied with the sonics of the original, Mercer took the 20th anniversary of the album as his opportunity to finally set the (literal!) record straight.

Counterpoint guitars have given way to a single guitar pitted against calculated keyboard passages; swarming indie rock machinations led to pop-based melodic endeavors (who knew?).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Shins","offers":[{"title":"Loser (color) LP","offer_id":39275529830496,"sku":"714150","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":39275529863264,"sku":"714151","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":39275529797728,"sku":"714152","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":39275529928800,"sku":"714154","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":39275529896032,"sku":"714156","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/1882\/9920\/products\/ShinsBlackLP.jpg?v=1741202319"},{"product_id":"mudhoney_every-good-boy-deserves-fudge-30th-anniversary-deluxe-edition","title":"Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge: 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy going back to basics with Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/collections\/mudhoney\"\u003eMudhoney\u003c\/a\u003e flipped conventional wisdom. Not for the first time – or the last – they would be vindicated. A month after release in July 1991, the album entered the UK album chart at Number 34 (five weeks later, Nirvana’s Nevermind entered at 36) and went on to sell 75,000 copies worldwide. A more meaningful measure of success, however, lay in its revitalisation of the band, casting a touchstone for the future. The record is a major chapter in Mudhoney’s ongoing story, the moral of which has to be: when in doubt, fudge it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album began at Music Source Studio, a large space equipped with a 24-track mixing board - downright futuristic, compared to the 8-track setup that birthed the band’s catalytic 1988 debut, “Touch Me I’m Sick.” The Music Source session quickly turned into a false start when the results, in guitarist Steve Turner’s words, “sounded a little too fancy, too clean.” Lesson learned, the band went primitive and got to work at Conrad Uno’s 8-track setup at Egg Studio. Named after the cartons pasted on the walls in an optimistic attempt at sound-proofing, Egg boasted a ’60s vintage 8-track Spectra Sonics recording console, originally built for Stax in Memphis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo it was that, in the spring of 1991, Mudhoney made Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. The resulting album is a whirlwind of the band’s influences at the time: the fierce ‘60s garage rock of their Pacific Northwest predecessors The Sonics and The Lollipop Shoppe, the gnashing post-hardcore of Drunks With Guns, the heavy guitar moods of Neil Young, the lysergic workouts of Spacemen 3 and Hawkwind, the gloomy existentialism of Zounds, and the satirical ferocity of ‘80s hardcore punk. The quartet’s special alchemy meant these fond homages never slid into pastiche. Ultimately, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge epitomised the best of Mudhoney: here was a band reconnecting with its purest instincts, and in the process reinventing itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 30th anniversary edition, remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, stands as testimony to the creative surge that drove them in this period. The album sessions yielded a clutch of material that would subsequently appear on B-sides, compilations, and split-singles. This edition includes all those tracks, and a slew of previously unreleased songs, including the entire five-track Music Source session.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mudhoney","offers":[{"title":"Yellow 2xLP","offer_id":39626177413216,"sku":"714145","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Color 2xLP","offer_id":39305885843552,"sku":"714143","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":39715202072672,"sku":"714141","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2xCD","offer_id":39305885810784,"sku":"714142","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":39305885876320,"sku":"714146","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/1882\/9920\/products\/mudhoney-egbdf30th-3600.jpg?v=1627593628"}],"url":"https:\/\/megamart.subpop.com\/collections\/classic-catalog\/format-color-lp.oembed","provider":"Sub Pop Mega Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
