Wez Barber Awesome shoe gazey sound. Perfect for lying out under an unforgiving sun with a beer at hand. Favorite track: Fresh Flowers For All Time.

Lorenzo Blown out and destroyed, encumbered by the deterioration of our lives through the insidious crawl of time. Feeling out-of-sorts in structure, IC,IE finds itself in world of personal and emotional collapse, but makes its best effort to portray the scenery in the warmest, nearly comforting, way. Filtering loud guitars and vocals through gauzy distortion, sometimes to impenetrable levels of haze, this album show how despondency can be translated into an approach that feels so immediate yet removed Favorite track: With Your Sunglasses On Like A Ghoul.

Dillon McKinnell An eviscerating listen both rooted in grief, change, and familiarity in ways that mourn the past but settles in for the coming days. Favorite track: Twenty-Seventh of February.

Doom King Quirky, hooky rhythms with plenty of swagger and elite dynamics. Should be on some end of year lists and deservedly so.

🤘🤘 Favorite track: Victory of the Pyramids.

Brian Parker I’ve been away too long. You guys are as heavily weird as ever!

I was honestly hoping for a James Bond cover song, though Favorite track: Victory of the Pyramids.

none of your goddam business if the world were truly a just and righteous place, The Melvins would be more famous than lady ga ga or kanye west.

tophermarlin The Butthole Surfers are the best band ever!!!

non-existent The sound collages are my favorite Surfers pieces. Guess i’m not a true fan.

Tom Colquhoun Think this is their best release yet. Joyful melodies and striking brass, underlined by mean grooves give this an urgency and vitality that goes hard. Favorite track: Them Say.

tshulruf This is an incredible statement of the times. Point the finger: Three fingers point back. Favorite track: Political Incorrect.

techm0 Another banger of a release. Thoughtful, artful, moving, powerful. The combination of dance grooves, textured synths, jazz brass and a splash of africa. I love it so much I bought the vinyl too. Favorite track: Pull the Rope.
