Can Con, the debut album from the enigmatic Canadian collective The Psych Fi's, comes via Bobo Integral. The group is an offshoot of Canadian singer-songwriter Jerry Leger's rock 'n' roll side project, The Del Fi's. Just as The Psych Fi's describe themselves as "spontaneous psychedelic rock," The Del Fi's recorded two albums characterized by spontaneity, spirit, and trust. This time Leger brings his songs to a revolving door of musicians and singers (18 members, including Jerry, in the case of Can Con). Most of the performers have not heard these compositions before recording them. They have no chance to second-guess; they must be fearless and jump in with both feet. Recorded live in a haunted Toronto studio on a cold January 2024 day by fellow "Fi" Aaron Goldstein (Espanola, Kathleen Edwards, Daniel Romano), Can Con captures a moment in time (which is relative). Leger acts as a sort of loose conductor, allowing certain soloists to emerge from the musical collage. Listeners will get lost in "Summer's Right Around the Corner", which also features Don Stevenson (founding member of the legendary '60s psychedelic rock band Moby Grape) on backing vocals, alongside Kate Boothman (Katie Cruel) and Angie Hilts. This sound has evolved out of Del Fi performances, specifically when musicians Nichol Robertson, Jason Kenemy, Dave Clark (The Rheostatics, Woodshed Orchestra), and Michael Eckert were involved. Leger and these "Fi's" eagerly ventured down less-traveled roads to destinations unknown. Other Psych Fi's include Ken Yoshioka, Matthew Cooke, Les Armstrong, Chris Bennett, Shawn Clarke, Katie Methot, and members of Jerry Leger & The Situation (Dan Mock, Kyle Sullivan, Alan Zemaitis).

Aguaturbia (1970) is an essential album to understand the construction of Chilean rock. This very influential album is raw and dynamic, featuring heavy rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. It comprises original compositions and electrifying renditions of songs brought to fame by the likes of Tommy James & The Shondells, The Beatles, and, of course, Jefferson Airplane elevating these classics to new heights of intensity and rhythmic allure. Aguaturbia's debut album was originally released in 1970 and showcases one of South America's most significant psychedelic bands from the late '60s and early '70s. Their influence in their native Chile -- and beyond -- was groundbreaking. It was played live in 1969 on three tracks, and it became an icon of transgression due to its unbridled musical aesthetics and cover art that -- for the time of its irruption -- meant a clear defiance of the conservative logics lived in Chile, which saw in the nudity of the cover a challenge to morality and good manners. The album is raw and dynamic, featuring heavy rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. Guitarist Carlos Corales shines and when he played solos at the gigs, the effect on the audience was silence and euphoria at the same time, they couldn't believe what they heard. Everything was done with a professional attitude. In fact, Carlos Corales (guitar) and Willy Cavada (drums) were both professional musicians who had made a previous career in rock and roll bands. The LP showcases breathtaking moments, like Willy Cavada's masterful drum solo in "Ah Ah Ah Ay" captured flawlessly in a single take. Dive into the sensual psychedelic journey of "Erotica," where Denise's alluring vocals dance harmoniously with Carlos' electrifying guitar. Plus, don't miss their thrilling renditions of "Somebody to Love" and "Crimson and Clover" -- each track elevating classics to new heights of intensity and rhythmic allure. This album is more than music; it's an invitation to experience sheer auditory bliss!

Vinyl limited to 300 copies. White with red streaks. Golden-era of kinked, acid-hued, analogue, harmonic song writing sits at the heart of The Eggmen Whoooooo!'s first, mind-bending, full-length album. Two-decades of meandering musicality fans the embers of cult Welsh legends, El Goodo, glowing beneath Benedict Frye's latest bakeries of sound. Whisking effervescence and color into the flat glass of soda of mundane middle age, the former El Goodo pace-setter has gathered a band of five other, talented souls and asks the jittery cut of sparking psych to lead the charge for the band's debut album, Fuzzy Eggs, Please. Almost a full two decades since El Goodo rose to an elevated position amongst discerning music-lovers as consorts to, support act beneath and studio collaborators with Super Furry Animals, and a full four years since the final act of the departed band (their last, acclaimed studio album, Zombie) a tapestry of distinctly and brilliantly odd songs scrambles from the heart of the Welsh hills. Transplanted into the chest cavity of a new, stage-ready six-headed creature, what awakes is a new beast of valve amp and feedback-fueled splendor. All ten songs, recorded in mountainous seclusion in Carmarthenshire with producer, Thighpaulsandra (Spiritualized, Tim Burgess), have clustered in strange harmony on The Eggmen Whoooooo!'s very first, perfectly imperfect album. Formed in a lightning strike of inspiration by prolific, remote South Wales-based keeper of various musical flames, Benedict E Frye, The Eggmen Whoooooo! finds members of kindred, Welsh musical spirits, El Goodo, Los Blancos, and Trecco Beis, joining hands and overloading studio plug sockets in a display of unchallenged creative hubris. With nobody to please but themselves, the six-piece's indulgence in sounds straddles sun-licked Californian harmonies and the torn-sneakered snottiness of New York punk making for thrilling sonic schizophrenia with only their own record collections occasionally poached.

Historical rescue of the only existing recording of Antihéroes, yet another mystery of the Argentine musical underground scene of the '80s, now available on vinyl for the first time. This obscure post punk band show their harshness and darkness in these only two songs they recorded, back in 1985, and which were distributed on a cassette that has today achieved cult status. This release is the result of the collaborative work between Twistin' Bones (Costa Rica) and Munster Records. Antihéroes is yet another mystery of the Argentine musical underground scene of the 80s. Back in the '70s, Valentín Alsina, Buenos Aires province. Jurek and Marcelo, children of Polish immigrants, meet at a religious school. Fast forward a few years and Marcelo is given a keyboard and meets Wojtek, another Polish boy with hunger for rock and Siekiera and Brigada Krysys records. They then decide to start a dark wave band. Jurek playing a single drum and a cymbal with an umbrella as stand, Marcelo on keyboards and Wojtek on bass, it's all set to go! Julio Torres became the guitarist and, answering an ad on a magazine, a singer turned up: the charismatic teenage poet Mónica Vidal. After three rehearsal sessions at a metal workshop, they made their first public appearance in 1984, at the basement of the Manzana de las Luces, an almost completely abandoned old 17th century convent in the San Telmo neighborhood. A young and experienced guitarist, Beto Morales, was in the audience and he'd later join the band after Julio quit. They recorded these songs in 1985. Their only existing recording, at the peak of their career, is this single that is finally released forty years after its recording thanks to the collaborative work between Twistin' Bones and Munster Records. The songs keep all their magic and spell intact beyond the passing of time and unfair oblivion.

LP version. "Known for the monolithic force of their music and their inventive production techniques, The Body's albums are benchmarks in the expansion and evolution of heavy music. Tightly packed with deceptively nuanced arrangements and exhilarating, challenging distortion, their compositions are possessed of an unmistakably singular sound. The Crying Out of Things is no exception; a culmination of all that The Body have done before, highlighting their mastery of dynamic and monumental music that pushes toward the unmistakable sound of oblivion. The Body have produced a wealth of groundbreaking collaborations with the likes of Full of Hell, Thou, Uniform, BIG|BRAVE, OAA, and Dis Fig. The duo's benchmark albums have, over the past two decades, changed the perceptions and directions of heavy music. The Crying Out of Things' embrace of noise is a comprehensive display of the multitude of expressions possible with abrasive sound, a skill that The Body have pioneered and refined. 'I think for us the key to the way we use noise is, it's not the only element,' says Buford. 'You've gotta really listen if you're into noise. But it also has to have dynamics. Where, say, BIG|BRAVE (who have a similar ethos) expresses it in this more intellectual, minimalist way, The Body comes from an instinctual, maximalist way. We're trying to cover it ALL.' The Body stand alone in their ability to connect disparate influences and collaborators into a wholly original, potent and singular work. Alongside producer/engineer Seth Manchester, the duo's voracious and omnivorous musical appetites have pushed the studio as an instrument into new avenues to conjure profound feelings from the music. The Crying Out of Things cements The Body's place as a leader of heavy new music, their boundless creativity, their defining ability to convey anguish, created with a visceral clarity to devastating impact."
"The results are harsh but exhilarating, loud enough to make you worry about your speakers and anguished enough to make you worry about your sanity." --Pitchfork
"Whether it's a sludge-metal lope or a near-techno pulse, this truly awesome album's sense of rhythm is perhaps its note of hope, suggesting a centre that just might hold even as things fall apart." --The Guardian
"The Body present the most uncomprimising result of their researches into the combination of harsh noise and extreme metal to date." --The Quietus
"Ten times more extreme." --The Wire, Cover feature

RELEASE DATE: 11/1/2024
Brand-new band featuring Bedroom Community's own Valgeir Sigurðsson at the helm, commissioned by Belgium's BClassic arts and music foundation -- this project has blossomed into a full band for its three core members. Who is Isabelle Lewis, anyway? What kind of music does she make? Is she an opera singer? Does she write pop songs? Does she compose ethereal ambient soundscapes? Does she play chamber music on the violin? Is she producing dark, electronic beats? Well? yes. But Isabelle Lewis is not so much a person as a project. Isabelle's debut album, Greetings, credits a trio of composer-performers at its heart: producer Valgeir Sigurðsson, vocalist Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe, and violinist Elisabeth Klinck. The sound of the elusive Isabelle Lewis is heard most clearly in the push and pull between them, the three-way tension that gives the album its musical and emotional drive. Each of the three brings more to the collaboration than those epithets might imply. Elisabeth's solo performance practice incorporates composition, improvisation, live electronics, and a close command of bowing and fingering techniques that make her fiddle sing, whisper or whistle as required. Benjamin is a self-taught countertenor -- keening, crooning, and swelling to a voluptuous sensuality -- but also an interdisciplinary stage director and performer. Well known for his work as a producer and studio collaborator, and as a composer of scores for film and stage, Valgeir's solo discography interweaves meticulously crafted electronics, drones, noise, and other digital elements with acoustic instruments and vocals recorded with naked, unflinching clarity. But the extravagant theatricality Benjamin brings grapples against the thudding bass of the implacable digital backdrop. The album as a whole is elegantly shaped, swelling from an intimate, interpersonal statement into something deeper and more spacious. The first half of the album leans slightly towards self-contained pop songcraft and ticking beats, while side B jumps off into the almost symphonic grandeur of songs like "Moonshell" or the instrumental "Not the water, air, or the dirt." The ominous weight of the droning sub-bass and trombone (guest player Helgi Hrafn Jónsson) only makes the interplay between vocals and violins (guest player Daniel Pioro joining Elisabeth) seem more delicate and vulnerable. RIYL: Perfume Genius, Anhoni, Rufus Wainwright, James Blake, Bat For Lashes, John Grant.

LP version. Trust Fund, the musical project of singer-songwriter Ellis Jones, returns with a fifth album, Has It Been A While?, recorded in Sheffield by producer and close friend Joe Mackenzie Todd. Fans of Jones' delicate, funny, relatable songwriting will know that yes, it has been a while. The 2018 LP Bringing the Backline -- which received praise from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, and more -- coincided with Jones calling time on Trust Fund, as band members began their own families, and he moved to Norway (and then on to Canada) to begin a career in academia. His return reflects a realization that his music-making days continue to stretch out before him, and marks the development of a mature style that offers both continuity and change. While previous Trust Fund albums have foregrounded a fuzzy, indie-rock aesthetic, on Has It Been A While? Jones strips his songs down to classical guitar and vocals, supported by captivating string quartet arrangements provided by Maria Grig. Fans of seventies singer-songwriters, and in particular Nick Drake's first two Joe Boyd-produced albums, will find much to recommend here, while Belle and Sebastian's early folk-inflected material is another obvious touchstone. Elsewhere on the record, the title track itself evokes both the spirit and simplicity of Chet Baker's "I Get Along Without You Very Well." Has It Been A While? marks the culmination of Trust Fund's return to activity, following the low-key release of five single tracks across 2022 and 2023.

LP version. Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp's latest album, Ventre Unique, is a dynamic exploration that seamlessly blends folk, krautrock, post-punk, and African rhythms, delivering an emotionally charged yet exuberant listening experience. Helmed by Geneva-based Vincent Bertholet, the orchestra's ever-evolving lineup and distinctive sound pay homage to both African music traditions and avant-garde artist Marcel Duchamp, while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music. Recorded over ten days in the outskirts of Paris at Studio Midilive, the album features an eclectic international cast of 12 musicians. The result is a beautifully organic sound that balances Bertholet's simple, loop-based compositions with intricate arrangements of marimba, horns, strings, and angular guitars. Ventre Unique is the group's sixth album and follows their acclaimed 2021 release, We're Ok But We're Lost Anyway (BJR 073LP). While their previous work captured the disarray of the world during the pandemic, Ventre Unique reflects on shared human experiences, inviting listeners to find common ground through music.

Color vinyl version. "Uboa's fifth album Impossible Light almost never made it out of the dark. From its initial conception in 2018, this record went to hell and back, dragging its immensity and too-big-to-hold emotion through the torturous process of translation to sound and returned triumphantly as a full-bodied record in a distinct new style. Impossible Light begins where Uboa's 2019 breakout album The Origin Of My Depression left off -- and ends somewhere entirely different. The Origin stunned with its methodical use of doom, harsh noise, and ambient soundscapes while documenting a raw, unhindered account of Xandra Metcalfe's experiences with her transition and her struggles with mental health. Over time The Origin steadily grew a cult-like following which developed into a full-fledged internet community focused around noise, neurodiversity and transness. While Uboa's signature style of highly polished, cinematic 'hypernoise' is front and center in Impossible Light, there is also a daring departure into the genres of industrial metal/rock, setting it apart from any other Uboa release thus far and distinguishing it from other contemporary noise records. Metcalfe kept the lyrical content of this record as a time capsule of the catastrophic ups and downs and rapidly changing environments within herself and in the world from 2018-2023. Key collaborators include Blood Of A Pomegranate, Otay:onii, Charlie Looker, and Haela Hunt-Hendrix of Liturgy. Impossible Light dives fearlessly into queer sexuality, trans embodiment, grief for those who couldn't make it, solidarity for those facing unimaginable discrimination, the toxic spread of transphobic hatred and misinformation, and the ultimate hope of recovery from trauma and mental anguish. This is a record about the light at the end of the tunnel and the power it takes to keep moving towards it."

Anadol and Marie Klock have teamed up for a joint album, La Grande Accumulation. They met in 2022 at a festival in England crowded with violent seagulls and outsider musicians. Klock being prone to barking on stage and Anadol not laughing at jokes she doesn't find funny, they straight away had the intuition that they would meet again. And so they did, a few months later, at Anadol's studio in Istanbul. Today, the two Pingipung artists present the fruit of this musical friendship. La Grande Accumulation was born out of the peculiar atmosphere of the studio neighborhood in Büyükada, an island where thousands of cats run free and humans randomly destroy things during apocalyptic times when parts of Turkey had just been turned into dust by terrible earthquakes. The French lyrics are inspired by hours of conversations, the music is consequently drenched in absurdity, overflowing with a strong urge to live and enjoy. La Grande Accumulation brings together Marie Klock's mysterious metaphors and Anadol's intriguing radiophonic psych-pop. Stretching forms beyond common sense to see how long they can resist is probably their favorite game. The result are six highly imaginative tracks that challenge the sub-three-minutes standards of Spotify pop. Gözen Atila aka Anadol is well-known to the Pingipung audience, with three solo LPs on the label. Her music follows a kind of collage logic, she interweaves countless styles, combining field and studio recordings with obscure quotation marks here and there. Marie Klock is a French writer and musician who produces songs oscillating between synthpop and neo-folk, full of anarchic humor and existential dread. Marie Klock delivers her lyrics in song or spoken word, stream-of-consciousness musings on strange human adventures, and her rich keyboard melodies culminate in a nonchalant dialogue with the bass trombone ('La Reine des Bordels'). In the opulent opening piece ('La Grande Accumulation'), a woman is cursed to take home everything she kicks in the street; a bit later, listeners stumble upon a ghoul hiding in the gutter ('Sirop amer'), Mona Lisa loses her teeth ('Sonate au Jambon') and a warthog struggles to climb the stairs of a silver tower ('Sabots triviaux'). La Grande Accumulation was mixed and mastered by Jonas Romann at Chaos Compressor Club in Hamburg and cut to vinyl by Kassian Troyer at D&M in Berlin. It's an audiophile LP that invites to focus on every detail in this heap of musical ideas.

Fans of seventies singer-songwriters, and in particular Nick Drake's first two Joe Boyd-produced albums, will find much to recommend here, while Belle and Sebastian's early folk-inflected material is another obvious touchstone. Elsewhere on the record, the title track itself evokes both the spirit and simplicity of Chet Baker's "I Get Along Without You Very Well." Has It Been A While? marks the culmination of Trust Fund's return to activity, following the low-key release of five single tracks across 2022 and 2023.

On Beautiful Days is Winter Family's fourth album. It tells a lot of stories; that of the musicians themselves and their loved ones, those of their territories, of their life in Jerusalem, Paris, or Lorraine; that of women, "witches," conspiracy myths; that of capitalist and colonialist Europe; that of the blindness and violence of Israeli society and the indoctrination of its population; that of the occupation of Palestine; that of eternal lockdown and a laboratory rat; and maybe yours, too. The duo from Jerusalem and Lotharingia formed by Ruth Rosenthal and Xavier Klaine has been developing for around fifteen years a unique universe, to say the least, alternating synthetic punk sounds and dronic prayers of a society on the edge of the precipice. Nourished by metal and baroque music, multidisciplinary theater and African-American culture, they continue to trace a unique path by defending a radical discourse that is aware of its contradictions. They play across the world in clubs, galleries and churches, music that is minimal, dark, political and abrasive, between magic, chaos and melancholy. Winter Family also create documentary theatre performances produced by major European theaters. Sometimes their daughter Saralei plays with them. Listeners hear layers of pump organs and harmoniums, an old piano, distortions and celestial white noise, sirens -- the sound of marching boots -- breathing during sleep -- stun grenades at checkpoint 56 in Hebron recorded by Xavier, the flows of Saralei's flutes, beats played on an iPhone and Ruth's voice. Listeners dive into all these contemporary stories haunted by history, feeling of a leap into the void, a state of dissociation or a feeling of liberation.

Formed in Stoke on Trent in 1977, northern band Discharge changed the British punk scene forever with a distinctive brand of hardcore, making minimalistic mu-sic with heavily distorted guitar, drone-like bass, shouted anarchic vocals and a style of propulsive drumming, known as D Beat. This new edition of the legendary London debut, unleashed at Camden's Music Machine in October 1980, is a blistering set that captures the group at their freshest, the audience response so great that they revisit "Realities Of War," "Fight Back," "Tomorrow Belongs To Us," and "They Declare It" for the full-throttle encore. Essential Discharge!

Presented on limited-edition black and clear vinyl. Includes download code. Up In Her Room present the latest offering from Uruguay's Las Cobras! Emerging from the Uruguayan city of Canelones in 2017, Las Cobras introduced themselves with their debut album, Temporal, a nine-track release that quickly became a reference point in global psychedelia after signing with London's Fuzz Club Records. A couple of years later, the duo -- Leandro Rebellato and Sofia Aguerre -- expanded to include Dario Macarín and Diego Mercadal, releasing their second album, Selva. In their debut, Las Cobras blended proto-punk and shoegaze with hints of afrobeat and Tropicalia. With Selva, the band amplified these elements, showcasing their evolving sound. Notably, their track "Al más Allá" is featured in the Amazon Prime series La Cabeza de Joaquín Murrieta. For their third album, Cárcavas, the band explores the concept of the cárcava -- a scar on the earth symbolizing a period of desolation. Teaming up with London label Up in her Room, they present a darker, more chaotic record that reflects the tumultuous years they've endured. Most tracks were mixed by James Aparicio (Depeche Mode, Spiritualized, Throw Down Bones Grinderman), lending the album a sharper, more defined sound. Las Cobras continue to delve into their sonic palette, incorporating electronic drums, Latin percussion, penetrating synthesizers, and fuzzed-out guitars, all from a more stripped-down perspective. "Black Butterfly," for example, is an espectrum of a lost friend. Like a ghost, always in orbit.

Limited 300 only transparent red vinyl LP housed in a reverse board printed color sleeve. Includes double-sided card insert, polylined inner bag, hype sticker, and download code. More brutal sounds from the thriving UK scum/noise rock underground. Louse: purveyors of the finest cellar-dweller scum rock since 2020; a disgusting cocktail comprised of four parts Foot Hair (Box Records) and two parts The Shits (Rocket Recordings), served over a capsized cruise-liner. Described as wielding "damp and sticky instruments," being "rotten from the inside" and sonically "stinking drunk, shirtless with no shoes, crawling around in your head," Louse gleefully pummel one riff into oblivion, deranged howls and punishing buzzsaw guitars growl over driving disco beats and slide bass. A carnival in an open sewer. Creep Call -- Louse's debut LP, after various tapes, live recordings and a split 10" lathe cut with The Shits -- is a true statement of intent. Presented by the magnificent Riot Season, the record is the result of a (wasted) life's work honing and toning the platonic ideal of single-riff noise rock, all wrapped up in a grindhouse, Giallo-flick package. Briefly elevated from the basement, Creep Call was recorded with James Atkinson at The Station House Studio in 2023 and mastered by S. Bishop, so the carnage has never sounded better. Perfectly balanced ugliness drenched in feedback, pumped up with Stooges keys and sax (honk honk) -- the closest thing to experiencing the deafening, goofy, beer-soaked-undergarment chaos of a Louse show first hand. Creep Call features wholesome ruminations on perpetual home invasion, road-side pornography addiction, perfecting a cannibalistic diet, and an unmistakable cowboy/line-dancing anthem. Do the wrong thing, and answer the call.

"Through the fog of our grief in the wake of the earth-shattering loss of our beloved angel stevie? we announce the release of Mope Grooves' fifth and final album, Box of Dark Roses. A 27 song, two-disc LP of songs that stevie prepared for release before she left. In addition to the music, stevie provided extensive liner notes to accompany the album. These are included with the album in the form of a zine, or as a digital PDF, respectively. Box Of Dark Roses is an LP where the same images repeat and repeat until you might have some idea of what roses have to do with armed struggle, trans autonomy, losing your house (again), angels, women political prisoners, violence returned to sender, suicided poets, refusing to recant, insisting on life, and how the revenge of twenty billion screaming ghost women could unmake the worst of all possible worlds. Performance by stevie (lowercase, no last name, she/her), cap (lowercase, no last name, they/them), Lee Butterfield (they/them), Penny Olives (she/her), Elias Williamson (they/them), Izzy Dupuis, Ana Díaz Sacco (she/they), Clinton O'Brien, Evan Mersky, Ana María Rodríguez (she/her), Ray Aggs (they/them), and Kyle Raquipiso." --Mope Groves

This 1986 album by The Primates remains as the only recording ever released by these four '60s R&B and garage fans. Combining great originals and versions, We Are The Primates remains as a wild, raw, party album that every fan of garage music should own. Originally published on Greg Shaw's very own Voxx and produced by Shaw himself, this valuable musical document portraits the essence of the L.A. '80s garage scene. This issue includes a booklet with liner notes and rare photos and ephemera. The Primates were formed in 1984 and cut their teeth at L.A. spots such as the Cavern Club, as part of a growing scene of devoted Nuggets/Pebbles fans, fascinated with 1960s garage punk classics. The core of the band were Brett Miller and Ted Edlefsen, sporting Vox guitars, and Erik Bluhm as front man, with different drummers, mostly Brian Corrigan but then also Eric from Threw the Looking Glass and Gene from The Miracle Workers. The opener "I Ain't Like You," "Bad Luck," or the fun cover of Neil Sedaka's "I Go Ape" reflect the wild, party-driven mood of the entire album, making you wonder how crazy their shows were in the golden era of the L.A. '80s garage scene. Combining originals and versions. Munster are thrilled to reissue this essential '80s garage gem as part of a series of releases celebrating Bomp! 50th anniversary.
