"London-based Gina Birch began her storied career in music in 1977 when she formed the feminist punk band The Raincoats with fellow Hornsey School of Art student, Ana da Silva. Gina and Ana witnessed an early performance by The Slits and although neither of them knew how to play any instruments, they knew they had to start a band. Just months after they picked up their instruments, they were on stage doing their thing around London and the UK in the fledgling and groundbreaking punk rock scene. The Raincoats quickly developed a large and loyal group of fans and supporters, among them Red Krayola, Swell Maps and Geoff Travis and his new record label, Rough Trade. The Raincoats went on to record three albums for Rough Trade that are frequently found on lists of the most important records of the punk rock era and are still name checked as influences by artists today. Originally, The Raincoats broke up in 1984 but were talked into reforming in 1994 when Kurt Cobain asked them to go on tour in support of Nirvana (sadly, that never happened). With a renewed interest in the band led by Kurt and Kim Gordon, The Raincoats records were reissued with liner notes by Kurt and Kim themselves. Worldwide tours and a brand-new fourth album on DGC resulted in 1996. The Raincoats still perform today for special events and have started their own record label, We Three Records, to handle their back catalog. Gina is a respected painter, a celebrated filmmaker and video director (directing videos for The Libertines and New Order to name a few) and is a mother of two wonderful daughters. She has formed and fronted the band Dorothy and The Hangovers. In September of 2021, Gina released her first ever solo single, 'Feminist Song', on Third Man Records in celebration of the opening of their brand-new London location. In February of 2023, Third Man will release Gina's brand new and first ever solo full-length album, I Play My Bass Loud, recorded by Martin 'Youth' Glover from Killing Joke and featuring Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth."

2017 release. "The Blue Room at Third Man shook with the sludge-drone majesty of Olympia, Washington's Earth. Anchored by wife-husband duo Adrienne Davies and Dylan Carlson, this band has an integral spot in American music by bringing a low-frequency uproar and six-string extremism to the forefront of the experimental, punk metal underground. More concisely, they are widely considered the pioneers of drone metal. The band built their reputation on widely respected albums, starting with Sub Pop and moving to current home Southern Lord. Using the device of repetition, the band disarms and transforms first impressions with a performance so plodding and insistent that each song is stretched to its limits. The set spanned their catalog with four first-class compositions, employing powerful guitar drones and Davies' precise, slow-motion percussion swirling throughout."

2020 release. "... Third Man Records is chuffed to present to you the New Mexico-based artist, Heather Trost's second solo full-length. Petrichor is fresh, unique, and really fucking good. Sonically, this modern psychedelic pop music is as experimental as it is accessible. Petrichor was recorded between 2018 and 2019 by Heather Trost and her husband Jeremy Barnes at their home studio. The two are community activists, urban gardeners, and full-time musicians. Feel joy now, find the time to watch the sunrise over the mountain/Make the space for yourself for others, we may not have the chance again/Things change so fast, we're not prepared/A precipice may open up anytime, separating us from life once again -- 'Let It In' Trost has an impressive body of work, notably in collaboration with husband Barnes (Neutral Milk Hotel) on their own record label, Living Music Dupli-Cation, and their dazzling and uncategorizable Eastern European folk-influenced band, A Hawk And A Hacksaw, where she sings and plays violin, autoharp, keyboards, and other instruments. In the last two decades, Trost has toured and recorded with dozens of artists, including Beirut, Jospehine Foster, Thor and his Friends, Claire Cronin, the Swans, and her old band Foma. Fans of A Hawk And A Hacksaw might be surprised at how different Trost sounds; she describes the difference as working in 'two different languages.' Trost explains that 'recording music and writing songs reminds me of making a collage or a quilt.' When I was young I laid in the sand of a dry river bed in the desert sun/ I'll think of you in the canyon, winter won't last so long/Petrichor I feel your shadow in the morning air -- Petrichor. These seven lush, beautiful songs defy easy categorization, gleefully mixing elements from multiple genres--but it's never to impress you or show off. You might not even notice how smart the record is until a fifth listen, a testament to how much work was put into the futuristic and shimmering record. We all can have a hard time holding on to a shred of hope. With Trost's, Petrichor, we have a record that sounds like the soundtrack to what might come next, on the off chance that what comes next really doesn't suck. 'Even though shit had yet to hit the fan when I wrote these songs,' Trost says, '2019 also felt like such a crazy year in terms of what was happening in the world, I felt like I needed to remind myself to have joy and love in my heart. It's something I meditate on a lot, especially when it seems like the world is ending.'"

"Third Man Records is excited to announce Southeast of Saturn Vol. 2. The compilation is a follow up to 2020's Southeast of Saturn, a collection of music from Detroit's space-rock/shoegaze/dream pop scene of the '90s. The second volume expands upon the Michigan-centric aural delights purveyed on Vol. 1, by including groups from throughout the Midwest. Highlighting groups spanning Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, Vol. 2 works to cement the Midwest's status as a breeding ground for the space-rock and shoegaze subgenres, which more famously burgeoned in the UK. Once again, there are no big names or crossover artists on Southeast of Saturn Vol. 2. However, for those who know that digging deep in the real and virtual record bins yields the greatest rewards, this 18-track compendium will trigger profound swoons. We've scoured the Midwestern underground, highlighting the evanescent acts of the '90s such as Star Phase 23 and Sidereal, so you don't have to. Southeast of Saturn Vol. 2 is first-class aural escapism from America's big-shouldered outpost of outward-bound rock."

"Isokratisses (Greek for women who sing the 'iso' or 'drone') is a vocal ensemble comprised of eight women who carry the ancient tradition of polyphonic songs from Epirus: a region in northern Greece and southern Albania. Born and reared in the Greek speaking villages around Deropoli and Politsani in Albania, the women of Isokratisses have sung these songs since childhood. The group ranges in age from 19 to 56 with some sisters in the group as well as an aunt. They were nurtured by this archaic music, listening and singing it with their family and friends. The songs were passed down from generation to generation. The group started its artistic activity in 2015, after the singer Anna Katsi took the initiative to encourage the younger members to perform regularly. The communal nature of polyphonic singing is a way of revitalizing an art that has declined in recent years and to reassert the primacy of female voices in the southern Balkans. Singing these songs builds an invisible bridge that connects the present with the past, the memories of childhood travel with the immediacy of daily life. Third Man Records will release a full album of these solo polyphonic songs, with Grammy-winning producer Christopher King. 'It is social music, woven into the fabric of poor, marginalized, and disenfranchised communities. Many of the songs are variations of mirologia (songs of fate, songs of morning) that used to be sung throughout the southern Balkans but have largely disappeared on an informal cultural level except for Epirus. Structurally, the songs are pentatonic (five notes with no semitones) and are composed of three or four distinct melodic voices that weave together in an organic yet unexpected way. The remaining members of the group provide the iso or 'drone' that is the low tonic note of the melody.'"

"With the a-side featuring both Q-Tip and an iconic sample of Cab Calloway's song of the same name backed by a guitar tone summoned from the depths of Hades, 'Hi-De-Ho' is one of the most ambitious and unique recordings to ever come from Jack White. Coupled with the light, effervescent percussive feels from 'Bees' and the diametrically opposed vibes of each of these sides complement each other in the same way that the albums they emanate from do. Don't you dare front on that."

"'Tomorrow' is a somber, Mellotron-fueled exercise in meditative, poetic morbidity while 'Trick' kicks off with a lyric borrowed from dialog in the 1942 film The Magnificent Ambersons while its incessant, fuzz-blasted riff propels a vocal delivery reaching Beefheartian levels of absurdism. The diametrically opposed vibes of each of these sides complement each other in the same way that the albums they emanate from do. You can't front on that."

"Recorded under a loft bed in the guest bedroom of his Nashville home, Michael Ruth aka Rich Ruth's I Survived, It's Over starts in a humble space. And while many contemporary music projects are produced in such an environment, I Survived, It's Over sets itself apart in its transformative properties as well as its transparency. What we have here is honest sound exploration, session musician-level instrumentation, and a true love for nature run through the fingers of a dude who can channel some acute and undeniable magic. This music goes deep. 'I conceived much of this record amidst the quiet and tumult of 2020 in my neighborhood that had recently been ravaged by a tornado,' Ruth recalls, 'I spent most of my days working on these pieces between bicycle rides -- watching the beautiful Tennessee ecosystem flourish in Shelby Park, listening to Keith Jarrett's The Koln Concert and John Coltrane's Ascension.' Underneath the swell of the strings and the shredding of the guitars, this record has hard working, rustbelt, drum-heavy roots all over it (which makes sense as Ruth hails from outside of Toledo, the album was mixed by John McEntire from Chicago band Tortoise). Many of the flutes, saxophones, pedal steel, and other instruments were recorded remotely because we live in the future, but this only adds to the collage of sampled and sample-able material that Rich Ruth has to offer. The organic relationships between the artist and other musicians on the album is evident even in the compilation style sampling that needs to occur in putting such a project together. 'Working on this music is a daily meditation,' says Ruth. 'I constantly experiment with sound until it reflects the way I am feeling and attempt to sculpt something meaningful from it. Through years of being a touring musician, it is a constant inspiration and privilege to collaborate with the individuals that graced this record with their voices.' And those relationships pay off, because I Survived, It's Over is a sonic meal. It's rich (no pun intended) with massive instrumentation that's usually reserved for more symphonic delights. But at the same time it's simple and leaves space to breathe -- space you didn't know you needed. In his own words; 'I Survived, It's Over is a meditation on healing, confronting trauma, surrendering, and finding peace. I wanted to encapsulate the tranquility and disarray found within this process.' Ruth's heart and the peace that his presence produces is all over this album . . . I Survived, It's Over is a record you should buy for your friend, your foe, and yourself. It'll sit perfectly on your shelf between Alice Coltrane and Hiroshi Yoshimura."

2016 reissue, originally released in 2001. "Originally released in 2001, the Detroit Cobras Life, Love and Leaving is the group's best-known effort, coming at a time when bands like the White Stripes and Dirtbombs were also releasing seminal albums that started picking up recognition outside of their collective hometown of Detroit. Hitting hard with songs by soul heavyweights like Solomon Burke ('Stupidity'), Mary Wells ('Bye Bye Baby'), Otis Redding ('Shout Bamalama'), the inimitable vocals of Rachel Nagy would no-doubt be a template from which folks like Amy Winehouse would work from years later. A landmark collection of covers."

Limited restock. 2015 release. "The Hateful Eight is the eighth film by two-time Academy Award winner Quentin Tarantino, and the first time he has made a film with a dedicated score. Who better to help create and coordinate his first dedicated score than the legendary film composer and Academy Award winner, Ennio Morricone? Tarantino has used Morricone pieces in each of his most recent six films, including Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds. The Hateful Eight marks the first time the two have collaborated throughout the production of the film to create a complete picture: bringing together the sounds, sights, and passionate grit to fabricate a truly well-rounded piece of smart art. Morricone started writing music at the age of six and has been composing critically acclaimed film scores since the 1960's when his career was launched after composing the score to The Man with No Name trilogy starring Clint Eastwood. Morricone established himself as the master of spaghetti western scores and later on began working in all genres of film with directors such as Franco Zeffirelli, Federico Felini, Roman Polanski, and Roland Joffe putting him on par with the major composers and establishing him as one of the all-time greats, composing soundtracks for over 400 film and TV projects. He has made his mark on film by blending jazz, folk, blues, funk, and classical music to make for brilliantly simple scores that set him apart from the rest. In Tarantino's tradition of not confining his soundtrack selections to space or time periods, the soundtrack also features songs from Roy Orbison, David Hess, and The White Stripes to round everything out. Hateful Eight is the most sweeping and narrative soundtrack Tarantino has released yet, and is sure to become a classic."

"Third Man Records is very proud to announce Up, the first-ever LP from criminally-unheard Manchester noisemakers Magic Roundabout. Up is due September 24, 2021 and is heralded by dreamy lead single 'She's A Waterfall' and its accompanying video. 'I walk in to the studio, Warren [Defever] is working away,' Third Man Records' Dave Buick says about the label's introduction to the group. 'Feedback, hypnotizing bass line, perfect female vocal harmonies and a drummer so minimal you just know they are standing coming out of the speakers. All I could see was stripes and paisleys. I became instantly obsessed with tracking down this mystery band's complete discography. 'They don't have a discography you say?' Just like that my obsession had become dangerous and unhealthy.' Like so many other disenfranchised kids in the heady days of mid-eighties United Kingdom, Magic Roundabout came armed with leather jackets, charity shop instruments, singles by The Fall and Buzzcocks, good haircuts, a healthy VU obsession and a little psychedelic inspiration. Influenced into existence at early gigs by The Jesus and Mary Chain and Shop Assistants, The Roundies wanted to change the world or at the very least make some noise, shake things up and be a part of the happening. The gang established a clubhouse in early 1986 and began rehearsing, recording and gigging. Playing a ton of legendary shows with the likes of The Pastels, The Blue Aeroplanes, Spacemen 3, Loop, My Bloody Valentine, Inspiral Carpets and picking up a bunch of fans along the way. Rumor has it that Noel Gallagher roadied their final show. There was one song released -- 'She's a Waterfall' Parts 1 and 2 on Mark Webber's (Pulp) Oozing Through The Ozone Layer cassette compilation -- and that's it. There were also talks of a flexi-disc that, for whatever reason, never saw the light of day. But by the end of the 80s, the gang had all gone their separate ways and the recordings along with so many other things were thought to be lost forever... Now, these 1987 recordings recently unearthed by Ian Masters (Pale Saints) and Third Man Records and given the 'treatment' by Warren Defever are presented to you lucky ones as the debut album by Magic Roundabout. 34 years too late or perfectly steeped and presented at just the right moment in history? Tune in, turn on and make up your own mind. Enjoy the trip. 'Magic Roundabout: The mysterious missing link between The Velvet Underground and pragVEC. How did the music industry miss these talented teenagers? They were fucking idiots, that's how. From super-catchy pop songs to ambitious 20-minute improvisations, the band had everything but a recording deal. Ambitious live performances where friends were satisfied with spitting out fluff often forgotten in 2 and a half minutes. Finally, the tape that was thought to have been lost was discovered during a search for a lost newborn in Manchester's slums, is now being remastered and presented for everyone to hear. You lucky lucky mofo's...' --Ian Masters (Pale Saints)."

2018 reissue, originally released in 1987. "2xLP edition will include all 6 cuts from the 1987 vinyl debut, as well as the 5 bonus tracks that were included on the 1995 CD release. With their roots firmly planted in Detroit's Cass Corridor punk rock and hardcore scene of the early 80s, John Brannon (Negative Approach) and Larissa Strickland (L-Seven), along with the locked in rhythm section of Kevin Strickland and Jim Kimball, the Laughing Hyenas took it to a completely different plane. Taking pointers from The Birthday Party and Funhouse era Stooges as well as early blues and jazz artists, the Laughing Hyenas were a fierce, sulfuric blast of noise. Kevin's sinister and hypnotic bass riffs and Jim's tribal swing laid the perfect framework for Larissa's (she only picked up a guitar a couple months before the band was born) slicing, jagged, she might even be murdering that thing guitar playing and John Brannon's devilish howl. The Hyenas travelled to Smart Studios in Wisconsin to record Merry Go Round, marking the start of a creative partnership with producer/engineer Butch Vig that would result in three of the most groundbreaking, game changing and scariest records to ever come out of Detroit...or anywhere."

2015 release. "As a mainstay on the Detroit music scene for over thirty years, Danny Kroha has consistently pushed himself to reinvention. As founding member of garage legends the Gories, he's influenced countless imitators and poseurs. His axe work with Rocket 455 is the most quintessentially 'Detroit' rock and roll this side of the MC5. And his turn as a pastied playgirl in the Demolition Doll Rods proved that even in drag, he was undeniably solid. So with his first full-length release under his own name, it may come as an unexpected turn that he's dealing in classic gospel and folk songs. Playing every instrument himself, spanning guitar, banjo, baritone dulcimer, diddley bow, washtub bass, jug and mouth organ, the end result is a collection of compelling, timeless traditional songs. Angels Watching Over Me is the real deal, seeming that it could've been recorded at any time over the past 70 years. With this album, Kroha firmly establishes himself as one of the pre-eminent practitioners of a genre in desperate need of someone with his creativity and vision in moving forward the classic American art form. LP Packaging: standard weight vinyl, old style tip-on sleeve Manufactured by: United Record Pressing."

2018 release. "As the hometown girls who conquered the world, Diana Ross and the Supremes are inarguably the most successful, highest selling girl group of all time. From their inauspicious start as the long-forgotten Primettes, to their ascension past the moniker of 'no-hit Supremes' through the ranks of Motown's rank-and-file to globe-trotting superstars, this group is as pure and quintessential Detroit Motor City as you can get. Originally released on 2xCD in in 2008, the Supremes Supreme Rarities from the Motown Lost & Found Series collects from the depths of the label archives to showcase the rarities, the outtakes and the incomparable live recordings from this inimitable group of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Listen to the story unfold from the innocent teenaged doo-wop of 'You Can Depend On Me' from 1960 all the way through the slick, socially-conscious refinement of 'I'm Livin' in Shame' from 1969. Aside a handful of forgotten vinyl releases decades ago, the majority of this material has not been released on vinyl. Until now. Third Man, in a unique partnership with Universal Music, has taken this double-CD and turned it into a glorious 4xLP collection housed in an impeccably-designed slipcase, all watercolor pastel vibrant photos highlight how absolutely impeccable this group is. Of particular interest is that Supreme Rarities are the first Motown records EVER pressed in the city of Detroit. Diana Ross attended high school at Cass Tech, a mere mile away from Third Man Pressing where these this title was lovingly pressed, which is also just a mile away from the Brewster-Douglass Housing Projects where Ross and fellow Supremes Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard all grew up. The 48 tracks included here include the earliest Primettes tracks, invigorating covers of The Rolling Stones 'Satisfaction' and the Beatles 'I Saw Her Standing There', along with renditions of hits for OTHER Motown artists like 'Mickey's Monkey' and 'Uptight (Everything's Alright)' in addition to alternate vocal takes of stone cold certified smashes like 'You Can't Hurry Love' and 'Someday We'll Be Together.' And if you want the hits medley, 'Come See About Me', 'Baby Love' and 'Stop! In the Name of Love' will wonderfully whet your appetite. 180 gram vinyl. All sleeves are Stoughton tip-on with amazing full color restored photos and notes."

2013 release. "While many rocking bands in San Francisco and beyond claim to be 'garage' bands' - Kelley Stoltz has actually recorded his new LP Double Exposure in the garage behind his house. And while the car oil stained floors are covered by oriental rugs and there are no snow shovels laying around - there is a collection of vintage synths, 17 guitars, tape echos, mellotrons, a '50s jukebox, a Teardrop Explodes poster, a tape machine used by The Residents, an amp used by Stooge James Williamson, and a myriad other noise making devices which rear their heads on his new record. All told the place is called Electric Duck Studio and it's become a muse capturing zone for Stoltz, as well as Sonny & the Sunsets, The Mantles, Tim Cohen, Life Stinks, The Sandwitches and many other tuneweavers big and small. Double Exposure is Kelley's first album in a while -- near on 3 years since his last one, To Dreamers came out on Sub Pop. What the heck has he been doing since, you ask? Well renovating the garage for one, and using said garage studio to engineer, produce or encourage the above named bands... You see time flies when you're having fun. Add in some love, a little heartbreak, turning 40, deciding to jog everyday, staring at the wall, singing hundreds of songs into the phone, sleeping, recording an album of cover songs with his family, making a couple 45 singles, catching white wine buzzes, getting dropped by Sub Pop, playing keyboards on tour with Rodriguez, and signing on with old supporters at Third Man Records... really it's as good old Sandy Denny sang, who knows where the time goes. Anyway, if you stir up all that stuff and a few other things we won't mention here, you have the makings of a fantastic and heartfelt record, Double Exposure has 10 new jams that Thee Oh Sees main man, John Dwyer, describes thusly, 'A piece of gold in your ear, A lovely thought in your mind, A breeze in the sun, This record is perfect...' Nicely put there Johnny! And you too will thrill to the sound of delay pedals twisting the keys on 'Inside My Head', crane your neck to the backwards guitars of 'Are You My Love', ramble and gamble to the clanging cymbals on the title track, question the sanity of a song called 'Kim Chee Taco Man', and finally, fall down and weep at the sweet fluted sentiments of 'It's Summertime Again'. For all of you Aussie rules fans, the album was mixed and mastered by Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring/Total Control and features Stoltz playing most of the instruments himself and overdubbing parts through his trusty 8 track tape machine."

2017 release, originally released in 1998. "The Hentchmen played their first show on Halloween of 1992 and have still shown no signs of slowing down. They are noted as some of the earliest purveyors of Detroit-style garage rock. Over their lengthy lifespan, The Hentchmen have released 27 singles (about one each year!) and 8 full-length albums on groundbreaking garage rock labels Norton Records, Estrus Records, Get Hip Records and even a promotional release through Chevrolet. You cannot get more 'Detroit' than that. To say Hentch-Forth is their best would be a lie, because whichever record you have spinning is the best! But this album serves as an excellent starting point into their vast, powerful discography. Hentch-Forth (1998) is the The Hentchmen's only album that includes Jack White on bass. This extended edition includes the 'Some Other Guy' single that also features Jack on guitar plus a couple phenomenal bonus tracks. There's a joke and a fun fact regarding this record that would have been all but lost over the decades. Italy Records and the artists included 'with Jack White' on both the 7'' and the 12'' because they thought that it would look like one of those old British Invasion records that would have an old bluesman or rocker as a guest. And for all the White Stripes trivia-heads - The Hentchmen's 'Some Other Guy' and The White Stripes' 'Lets Shake Hands' were recorded AND released at the same time, before the world would know what hit them!"

"Long before John Brannon of Negative Approach cemented himself as a USHC icon, you would hear rumblings about his pre-NA glam group, Static. Only a handful of people were lucky/brave enough to see them live. Scenesters spoke of a tape but never seemed to have one. Their most well-remembered song, Toothpaste and Pills, allegedly featured smashing beer bottles against John's mom's basement wall as a percussion instrument. Could this be real? Fast forward to 2020 and a few months into the covid-19 lockdown, Brannon came across a bunch of tapes he dug out of a box in his Mom's closet -- Static 'Demos '78', Static 'Live At Grosse Pointe South H.S.', Static 'Live At Plewa Hall'. Holy shit! The legend is true! And best of all, Static rule! John Brannon grew up in Grosse Pointe Park just a few blocks from the Detroit border. John was always into music, but as soon as he heard T-Rex, The Stooges and Alice Cooper, he was obsessed (and still is) and had to start a band to channel his obsessions. With the help of neighborhood kid and collaborator Billy Daniels and a local drummer simply known as 'Red', Static was born. Before Negative Approach changed the face of punk and hardcore, before Laughing Hyenas scared the world silly and blew everyone else off the stage and before Easy Action started melting minds all over the world, there was Static. Static was real. STATIC was real as shit. Third Man Records is beyond ecstatic to be providing this long-missing piece of the American Underground Music puzzle. We worked closely with John Brannon and Warren Defever, one of Third Man Mastering's resident wizards, to put together this essential collection of demos and live recordings. Previously unreleased pre-Negative Approach John Brannon glam/hard rock project. Features demos and live recordings. For fans of: Electric Eels, Alice Cooper, T. Rex, Sex Pistols."

2011 reissue, originally released in 1991. "We are so very excited to announce the reissue of the Flat Duo Jets classic 1991 release Go Go Harlem Baby. The piece de resistance of Dex Romweber's voluminous back catalog, ably backed by the trusty Chris 'Crow' Smith on drums, GGHB is as solid an LP as you will ever find. Some of you may remember Jack White dropping the needle on the Jets' version of 'Froggy Went a Courtin'' in the It Might Get Loud doc as an indicator of his early influences. Maybe you remember the White Stripes covering 'You Belong to Me' or 'Apple Blossom Time' in their live performances. Those songs, as well as all the rest featured on Go Go Harlem Baby are genuinely important in the pantheon of American music. Out-of-print on vinyl since it's original issue twenty years ago, Third Man Records worked solidly for a year-and-a-half to make this record available again."
