EVERYTHING ELSE	Another One Making Clouds	LP	BIG POTATO RECORDS	BPR 050LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/26/2025 Friends since the age of six, most of this album was written and recorded by the pair when they were nineteen. The songs possess all the singular magic of a duo writing and playing together while sounding like a full, sonically charged band. Their debut E.P. track "Two Monkeys," included here, has a level of shoegazey dirt that will leave many distortion freaks reeling. "Every Word Said" is prog-pop perfection. The title track is as moody as anything by Flying Saucer Attack. "Another One Making Clouds" evolves over 35 minutes and doesn't stop elevating and surprising. A founding notion of our label was to release recordings made as the musicians' first intended. No "notes" and no re-recording with a "proper" producer in a "real" studio. This album captures something you can't fake. A young band finding an epic, emotional, cinematic sound in their bedroom. Using it in that peculiarly British way to express the wonder, confusion and heartache of being nineteen. Of wanting to be seen and not seen. It's a kind of British "soul" music with ancestors like The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Jesus & Mary Chain, and the original shoegaze bands. Progressive guitar music, channeling deep emotion, a desire to hear something that sounds like how you feel inside. The stuff nobody talks about. Everything Else.

ZIMMERMAN, TUCKER	Music By River Words By Ear	LP	BIG POTATO RECORDS	BPR 044LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/11/2025 "To celebrate Tucker Zimmerman's phoenix-like rise from the ashes, Big Potato present a new unheard collection of his material titled Music By River Words By Ear, consisting of songs recorded with fellow forgotten legend Dave Evans and Tucker's son Quanah on guitar and Geert Waegman on fiddle and Jef van Cool on bass. Recorded in 2002, these timeless tunes mark the first chapter of Zimmerman in the 21st century. The one overriding similarity between the two Zimmerman's (Bob) is their masterful and distinctly American poetic sensibilities. Believe me, if you like the music made in 1969, you'll love these."--Jon 'Mojo' Mills

MAD WALLS, THE	Have You Heard the News?	LP	BIG POTATO RECORDS	BPR 040LP
$28.00 NOT IN STOCK Eight years after the breathtaking Somewhere Anywhere EP, The Mad Walls return to re-ignite psych rock with this gorgeous, floatily heavy, effortlessly groovy and sublimely sinuous debut LP. Driven by bone shaking acoustic guitar, visceral drums, wonderfully trippy basslines and the throwaway perfection of Christopher Mercado's spooked vocals. Pure rock n' roll yet devoid of cliché. Informed by, but no way in hock to, early MC5, Skip Spence, Sonic Youth, Syd Barrett and Jefferson Airplane when they still all lived together. Recorded on tape in Mercado's garage, there's a DIY heart with epic results across sixteen songs. Only one track over three minutes and some under thirty seconds. "It's just chatter about life and human feelings. Stylized human expression," is Christopher's self-effacing explanation of his mind bending, playful, storytelling. Somehow the Mad Walls manage woozily florid and sharp as a blade. Studiedly detailed but effortless. Whip smart and dumb.

ZIMMERMAN, TUCKER	Over Here In Europe	LP	BIG POTATO RECORDS	BPR 036LP
$28.50 NOT IN STOCK The first vinyl reissue of Tucker Zimmerman's 1974 album. A self-described "songpoet," Zimmerman's long and storied life as an American "exile" in Europe has so far produced nine studio albums and many hundreds of poems and, more recently, led to his current collaborations with Big Thief. Running through it all is a sustained, singular will to create beautiful low key, low ego art on the biggest, most timeless themes. Tucker's experimental use of keyboards, synthesizers and that rarest of birds -- the Ondes Martenot (a kind of theremin hybrid) -- creates a shifting palette to lift songs with a classic singer/songwriter feel into something new. Perhaps only the early '70s Beach Boys were onto the same idea, albeit with slightly different budgets. Tucker produced this LP himself. Cutting his production teeth with another life friend Tony Visconti in London, experimenting with tapes and electronic sounds while working with others on many albums, including Marsha Hunt and Paul Butterfield, as well as on his own debut (one of Bowie's favorite records). Zimmerman is the real deal and Over Here In Europe was a new direction which would end seven years later with the excellent Word Games, whereupon he paused from the creation of albums in this form.
