MT 065EP
|
The Dum Dum Boys' new four-song EP was born under the sign of fuzz: The one-chord fuzz stomp of "Do the Nothing" (a brand new nihilist dance), the fuzz glam of "Come on Now" (Gary Glitter meets the Scientists), the fuzz boogie of "Blame It on the Boogie" (a dancefloor hit, but only in freaky discotheques), and -- another one-chord song! -- the fuzzy amphetamine rush of "Ridin' Down the Highway" (Guitar fuzz! Bass fuzz! Organ fuzz!).

Dum Dum Boys, XYZ, and NON! guitar player's second solo album, a home-recorded double LP extravaganza of fuzzy rockers, lo fi diskopunk dancefloor anthems, weird glam, heartbreaking ballads and psych pop. Fuzz pedals, analog synths, wild organ, Theremin, drum machines, tambourine, and violins. An orgy of sounds, an overdose of songs, from 20 seconds snapshots to eight-minutes epics. Includes two idiosyncratic covers of Joe Simon and Leonard Cohen.

Crocodiles return with a new album of infectious power-punk-pop. Ten direct three-minute blasts of rock n' roll, from straight-up punk-pop anthems ("Love Beyond The Grave") to mutant garage-rock ("Surfing With Death"), infectious fuzz-pop ("Forever Walk Alone"), dancefloor ready bangers ("Deadbeat") and even hardcore death-rock ("Rock'n'Roll Graveyard"), Crocodiles, the nucleus of Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell, return with a new album of infectious power-punk-pop. Over the years, the band have shifted and transformed, but they always kept their ear for pure pop abandon, great hooks, and harmonies, wrapped up in the crunch and verve of garage-punk. Like the surging power-pop scene that is coming out of the USA these days, they are indebted to The Ramones, Buzzcocks, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, all filtered through shoegaze, noisy pop and the '90s California sound.

2025 restock. Archival rarities from the Canadian proto-punk legends and underground darlings: alternative takes, live recordings, and demos from 1975 to 1978. The perfect complement to their classic and critically acclaimed 1974 LP Cyborg Revisited. A mix of frantic garage rock, freeform cosmic kraut, the loud ferocity and heavy riffing of the Stooges and MC5, the art rock and proto punk sound of the Velvet Underground and Modern Lovers, and the British psychedelia of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd and early Hawkwind. New 2022 mastering by Jim Diamond. Gatefold sleeve.

Warning! Two Minutes or Less drives through the underground canals of dubious charms, bleak isolation, and crumpled covers!

Second killer album for this new band featuring previous members of legendary French garage and punk bands such as the Electric Mormons, Flaschen, Motarlozer, and Veines. Fast as the Ramones, raw as the early Saints, poppy as the Nerves, brief as The Briefs, and with that inimitable "French punk" touch. Fourteen songs, all except one under the two minutes tag, fourteen instant hits! Melodic and crude at the same time, ultra-energic and full of catchy hooks, Arsene Obscene's songs are the kind you sing under the shower and on the terraces.

The best Dum Dum Boys album yet?! Yes! All their different styles on one record, from fuzzy and thrashy songs to heart-breaking ballads, from noisy to electronic, from exciting rock n' roll to hypnotic pop, from ultra-short and fast tracks to long and moody ones. An "Up Side" with fast, short, and noisy songs, full of fuzzes and screams and electrifying rhythms. And a "Down Side" with mid-tempo, moody, dark songs, dirty synthesizers, rhythm machine, and languid guitars. (But both sides are equally ultra-intense, edgy, noisy and primitive sounding.) Recorded in an abandoned slaughterhouse(!), mixed in a hot and damp basement, in a raw and primitive way with everything put in the red, like a mockery to modern technology. It's not just a return to the garage, it's back to the cave! And if it wasn't such an old worn-down cliché, there should have been written "play it loud" in huge letters on the cover because that's the way you should listen to this record, the way to really go Up & Down With The Dum Dum Boys.

First psyche solo album from The Baron Four's Mike Whittaker. Far from his previous English "Rhythm n' Beat" à la Milkshakes, early Kinks, he dwells here into the spaced-out sound of the Spacemen 3/Spiritualized/Brian Jonestown Massacre. Slow motion tremolo and psyched fuzz guitar, languid vocals, and floating drones. Nine original songs and a cover of the 13th Floor Elevators' "Splash 1".

Full-length album of legendary '70s pre-punk band from Cleveland. "Post-punk before punk ever happened," that's what Rolling Stone called the Styrenes. For once, they were right. But that only scratches the surface of their unique and uncompromising vision as the Styrenes -- whose members have also been in the equally legendary Electric Eels and Mirrors -- play music that ranges from punk to jazz, pop and avant-garde, all on evidence in this full-length vinyl compilation of their early material. Full story, complete discography, original interview, liner notes, and pictures included inside.

First ever vinyl reissue of the France cult garage band Les Coronados' N'Importe Quoi, originally released in 1984. Without any doubt for any reasonable rocker, France's best band of the '80s! A perfect mix of wild garage, offbeat influences (for the times) like Alex Chilton, Kevin Ayers, or Harry Nilsson, and French twisted '60s pop, all done in their own original and even eccentric style: savage but well read, loose but subtle. A must have for garage lovers and literate rockers, this is the first time this classic album is re-released on vinyl since the eighties!

After the success of his first ever vinyl compilation, The Cosmic Genius of Big Boy Pete Vol. 1 (MT 042LP), which sold out really fast, here comes the follow-up, imaginatively called... The Cosmic Genius of Big Boy Pete Vol. 2! This mysterious British guitarist (real name Pete Miller) cut some oddball non-hits in the '60s that have amassed quite a reputation among psychedelic collectors but were really hard to find until now. Like on Vol. 1, Vol. 2 features one side of some of his best '60s stuff and side two unreleased or little-known gems from the '70s -- ranging from wild and fuzzy garage to psych pop and freaky country-rock. Includes psychedelic color inner cover with lyrics and a text written by Pete Miller himself.

New album of Berlin based French multi-instrumentalist and electro rocker, Fred Bigot. Fuzz guitars, synths, drum boxes, and two incredible covers of classics, "Dancing In The Street" and "Bad Moon Rising". Electronicat is the alias of Fred Bigot. Wild Animal is his eighth studio album. In 2014, working on a sound performance just using the human voice and guitar recreating a road trip he had undertaken across the USA in 2011, he invested in a piece of almost forgotten and rather cumbersome analogue equipment: a talk box, the ideal tool to generate unpredictable results, giving the music a more organic, unruly nature. Back in his studio in Neukölln, and with his project Electronicat in mind, he began his experiments, combining the talk box with the multitude of instruments available including a fantastic range of old synths and keyboards. The result was ten songs, two of which were cover versions. Soon after, Fred began work on a new project The Magic Ray and his talk box experiments were put to one side. Come 2020, a new studio in north Berlin and the first pandemic lockdown: while sorting and sifting through recordings, Fred rediscovered these ten songs, this Wild Animal described by one Ian Svenonius as "the king of the jungle cats, king of electro-beat rock 'n' roll music. Still sleazy, still dangerous, still mysterious, Electronicat is the final stand of sound in the dead-end cul-de-sac road to nowhere that rock 'n' roll music has found itself stuck at. Electronicat is the only hope for a way out. Electronicat is the wild animal we need in our heart, soul and turntable."

Like an English Kim Fowley produced by Joe Meek or a one-man Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Big Boy Pete is the unsung hero of the sixties. This mysterious British guitarist (real name Pete Miller) cut some oddball non-hits in the '60s that have amassed quite a reputation among psychedelic collectors, like "Baby I Got News for You," a Troggsish number with wads of fuzzy guitar, backed by Peter Frampton and members of the Herd, or "Cold Turkey" with its eerie blasts of spaceship-elevator psychedelic guitars and biting mod-psych vocals, later covered by the Damned (under the guise of Naz Nomad & the Nightmares), before relocating to San Francisco to work as a producer and engineer, occasionally releasing albums on tiny labels. This first ever vinyl compilation features his best '60s stuff on one side and seven unreleased gems from the '70s on the other -- ranging from wild and fuzzy garage to psych pop and freaky country-rock! Includes a psychedelic color inner cover with lyrics and text.

While the world was spinning off its axis in the year 2020, California born, but now Mexico City and Paris based noise pop/indie pop band the Crocodiles spent their time in isolation recording three volumes of cover songs originally released on ultra-limited edition cassettes. Here they present to you, on vinyl, 11 tracks for Best of Shitty Times, ranging from punk to garage rock, from new wave obscurities to Freda Payne! An idea they had for a long time, after having released seven albums and several 45s and having been compared to "a mix between the Jesus and Mary Chain and the Archies". So take a deep breath and shelter yourself within a fuzzy vortex of rock n' roll.

Without any doubt, Les Coronados is the France's best band of the '80s! A perfect mix of wild garage, off-beat influences (for the times) like Alex Chilton, Kevin Ayers, or Harry Nilsson, and twisted French '60s pop, all done in their own original and even eccentric style: savage but well read, loose but subtle. This album compiles their first two impossible-to-find EPs plus unreleased material and original songs and covers (Sonics, Beefheart, Equals, Kinks, Spirit) they gave at the time to various compilations, from their ultra-wild, fast, trashy and drenched in reverb beginnings to their more sophisticated but still rocking later stuff. A must have for garage lovers and literate rockers, this is the first time these songs see the light of day since the eighties! Buy it now or you´ll be eternally sorry.

After the very successful Quirky Lost Tapes album on Born Bad Records (BORNBAD 085CD/LP, 2016), compiling his ultra-rare 45s, El'Blaszczyk dived back into his old and daunting project: Rock In The Maquis. This double -- 29 songs out of the 40 recorded during two years -- and conceptual record -- about World War Two, mixing members of the Resistance, Fritz and collaborators -- is his master work, long deferred and now boldly presented to the world. A retro-futurist record, homemade, on hand-build equipment, which brings to mind the French '60s, yéyés, and Nouvelle Vague movies, zig-zaging between an iconoclast and DIY Serge Gainsbourg, a twisted Jacques Dutronc, the delirious spirit of Les Blousons Noirs or an art brut painting. From "Jerk in Dunkerque" to "Rock des FFI via "Das ende der haricots" and "Ces boches sont faits pour morfler" (a very personal cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walking"), this record is a bomb, a proudly claimed terrorist attack. A minimalist son of Jean Yanne and Hasil Adkins, handyman of genius recording alone in his room, handling irony and iconoclasm as well as fuzz guitar and one finger Farfisa organ, El'Blaszczyk is the true unknown soldier of French rock n' roll. Sharing (let's not talk about collaboration, a world hold in contempt) his own forces with those of Mono-Tone Records and les Disques Beretto -- the Liminanas' label -- to form the El'Maquis Productions, El'Blaszczyk makes, with this Rock In The Maquis. Gatefold sleeve; includes insert plus two, three-page folded inserts; includes download card.

2021 restock. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, The Scruffs are best known for their classic power-pop LP Wanna Meet The Scruffs? issued in 1977. They started to record a follow-up album with John Fry at Ardent Studios, supposedly entitled "Teenage Gurls". In 1978, due to interest from Warner Bros. in New York City, the band moved to the Big Apple, playing at CBGB and Max's Kansas City. One year later, leader Stephen Burns returned to Memphis to finish the recordings which survived for years in his archives. They eventually resurfaced only on CD, in 1998 on Burns' private label Northern Heights and in 2003 on Rev'Ola. Die-hard popsters regard some of these songs as their strongest material with the best ones being compiled here on side one. Flashback: in 1974, the same year of Big Star's Radio City LP release and Chris Bell solo recording sessions, producer Jim Dickinson heard the Scruffs' early stages and their pre-Wanna Meet material and expected the band to be the next big thing. Only heard on CD on Northern Heights in 1998, the best tracks from this stunning collection, recorded in the same Shoe Studio where Chris Bell immortalized the track "I Am The Cosmos" basically at the same time, are compiled here on side two. Mixed and remastered by Adam Hill and Stephen Burns at Ardent Studio.

Ranging from lo-fi pop à la Daniel Johnston to noisy post punk, kraut and psych/space rock, with fuzz guitars, drone bass, and analog synths and a minimal and repetitive drum machine, The Landscape Tape is the French guy J.C Martin's solo project. After three albums on which he played and did everything, he's backed here by Didier Balducci (from Dum Dum Boys, XYZ, and NON!) and Cyrille Melerio (from Chevelure) for new and expanded versions of some of his previous songs. A "Best of" for amateurs of Sebadoh, Les Rallizes Denudes, Neu, or Sonic Youth.

Mono-Tone Records present the first vinyl reissue of Coronados' Un Lustre, originally released in 1989. One of the great French bands of the '80s. Coronados created a perfect mix of wild garage, off-beat influences (for the times) -- like Alex Chilton, Kevin Ayers, Harry Nilsson, or Beefheart as well as French twisted '60s pop -- delivering it all in their own original and even eccentric style, savage but literate, loose but subtle. Un Lustre is Coronados' second album. The first one, N'Importe Quoi, had a very bare sound (that the band didn't like at the time but that has aged well). Un Lustre has a great full production, perfect for the ambitious songs. Despite great reviews, in France and abroad, and praise from their peers, they split soon after and have never played again, adding to their myth and cult status. A vivacious cult LP for garage fans and literate rockers. Buy or die!

What does a rock 'n' roll group do, when it is "out of ideas"? Break up? Throw in the towel? Of course not; instead, they make a covers album. That's what top beat-group Dum Dum Boys have done on this, their latest long-player Dum Dum Boys Play All Your Favorite Songs. But, perverse as always, Dum Dum Boys weren't content to just crank through the usual assortment of quality unknowns and monster hits. Instead, they gave an actual infant the task of picking -- completely at random -- the songs for the group to record. That's right, a child, an actual ingenue (its name irrelevant) who knows nothing about anything, chose the songs for the group to record from someone's record library, whilst blindfolded and dreaming about a video game. This child -- its identity a secret to protect it from possible reprisals -- picked 50 songs for the Dum Dum Boys to attempt, of which 12 were determined to be worthy of proliferation. Here they are: a jumble of juvenilia, an eclectic electric mess: Dum Dum Boys Play All Your Favorite Songs, 12 idiosyncratic and surprising covers of Hawkwind, Kim Fowley, Bryan Ferry, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, The Glitter Band, James Brown, Depeche Mode, The Jackson 5, and more.
