Up In Her Room welcome the incredible Masal to the family! Masal is a collaboration between Al Johnson and Ozlem Simsek. Ozlem is a Turkish multi-instrumentalist whose middle eastern background is entwined with her western studies in classical music. Al performs psychedelic electronic music as Alien. As Masal they weave harp, Theremin and electronics into beautiful aural journeys. Having worked with legends such as Andy Bell and Mark Gardener of RIDE, and Sonic Cathedral, plus enjoyed radio play from the wonderful Simone Butler of Primal Scream on Soho Radio, and Mark Riley and Stuart Maconie on BBC 6 Music, UIHR are very excited for you to see what the pair have been cooking up. The Galloping Cat finds this unlikely pair of "neurodiverse nature lovers" collaborating on six meandering tracks of psychedelic grooves, electronic weirdness and motorik basslines mostly wordlessly exploring themes of self-discovery -- and it's stunning. Available on limited-edition pink vinyl, with only 250 copies pressed.

RELEASE DATE: 5/31/2024
Available on limited-edition transparent purple vinyl. Up In Her Room present Alber Jupiter's incredible second album Puis vient la nuit. Founded in Rennes in 2017, instrumental bass-drums two-piece Alber Jupiter draw inspiration from Berlin's '70s krautrock scene and Godspeed You! Black Emperor's hallucinatory post-rock to craft a unique soundscape. Their motorik rhythm wanders between plaintive delays and intergalactic reverbs. Magic happens immediately! Following the release of their stunning debut album We Are All Floating In Space, the band took advantage of the forced COVID break to compose and record a second album which sees them pursuing their psychedelic exploration. A looper, a few pedals and the journey becomes limitless! The bass morphs into guitars, trippy violins, screams, ethereal or distorted layers. The synths are also part of the adventure, completing the already rich sonic spectrum and propelling the band into new territories.

Available on super limited-edition pink vinyl with obi strip and download code. Only 300 copies pressed. London based shoegaze three-piece Holy Springs are Neil Atkinson Jr, Maria Bellucci, and Suzanne Sims. The band blend psychedelic influences with their love of lo-fi guitars and keyboards. In 2020 they self-released the cassette mini album Indoor Tapes. Shortly after the incredible EP Camera they present their debut full length E.A.T on limited-edition vinyl. Debut albums can sometimes feel a bit disparate as bands fling all the songs they've been working on together with no real thought as to how they all hang together as an album. Not so with E.A.T. The effort and thought that has gone into writing a cohesive and well-structured album is evident on every note played. If this is the band just starting out imagine what their next album will sound like, and the one after that.

Up In Her Room presents the first in the Ivan The Tolerable archive reissue series, Autodidact. Originally released on a 10" lathe cut by Ack Ack Ack Records in February 2018, this has now been remastered and repackaged, and will now be available on limited-edition khaki vinyl, with only 250 copies pressed. Here's a bit about the record in Oli Heffernan's aka Ivan The Tolerable own words: "I recorded the bulk of this record over a weekend in January 2018, in the midst of a very minor breakdown that was to last for pretty much the entire year. I was living in a big house all on my own, smoking too much and not really seeing any people. Happy days indeed. It was tracked in the back room of 97 Hambledon Road, Middlesbrough using two questionable microphones, a broken HH 100 amp, my friends' drums and a Tascam DP08 (that wasn't to see the year out, RIP 2009-2018). When I was done, Robbie came round and recorded a ton of violin drones through my amp and I remember feeling like I'd gone into a trance a few times, then Ben recorded his parts at home and sent them over. Mixed and mastered the same night -- I released it myself a month later as a lathe cut 10"and then promptly moved on. I listened to the album for the first time in years to write this sleeve note and I think it is possibly the closest I've ever got to capturing the sound I hear in my head -- I love how grubby and cavernous it sounds, claustrophobic and swirling -- the track 'Autodidact' I have recorded four more times since this version and I've never got that sound back. I'II keep trying."

Available on limited-edition white vinyl, only 300 pressed. Includes extended album download. Ivan The Tolerable is the alter ego solo project of Middlesbrough based musical wizard Oli Heffernan. Aside from his solo work as ITT, Oli has played in numerous bands over the years including Year Of Birds, King Champion Sounds with members of the Ex, Detective Instinct, and Shrug, and has collaborated with icons like Mike Watts of the Minutemen, and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. On Black Water/Brown Earth, Heff called in the help of his Dutch friends Mees and Elsa in King Champion Sounds again and wrote the album in a long-distance session. The album feels like an excursion in nature, featuring bird song, flowing water, pots and pans percussion, and a genuine feel of wandering about and experiencing the outside world with eyes and ears wide open. It is a band effort too, with organic sounding drums, the characteristic saxophone, and droning synths.

Ponyland are a psychedelic punk, force of nature, a multi-limbed monster of scuzzed-out riffs and thunderous ritualistic grooves. Combining the grinding onslaught of Lightning Bolt, the ecstatic spectacle of Sun Ra and the irreverent spirit of System of a Down, this unhinged, masked menagerie have to be seen to be believed. Intoxicating rhythms meet hook driven waves of riffage, with ecstatic energy that will make your legs rattle uncontrollably. Following on from their debut album Mora Mora, this new full length LP Hare Brains sees Ponyland embrace a new edge to their visionary sound world. Keeping the trademark, pulverizing double drum kit engine and fuzz-drenched psychedelic soundscapes, the band have supercharged their songwriting with focused riff-based hooks and driving punk-edged vigor. Prominent female vocals channel Bikini Kill and Warpaint, whilst gritty, melted electronics flow around a classic thrashing guitar sound. Hare Brains is a celebration of dysfunction, a call to arms against human apathy, a psychotropic odyssey of eroded power structures, post-apocalyptic landscapes and mutant pigeons. The anarchic pagan ecology of Ponyland's vision grabs the listener and catapults them into a visceral NOW, full of defiant life, movement, and human connection.

Available on limited-edition eco mix vinyl, with only 250 copies pressed. Includes download. Up In Her Room presents the latest full length from London psych heads The Confederate Dead. In their own words: "As an artist, one of the most extraordinary gifts is the ability to convert life's experiences and emotions into music, transmuting pain into beauty, tragedy into art. With our latest album, Flamingo, we embarked on this creative journey. The inception of this project dates back to 2022, a year marked by a period of separation that was both challenging and transformative. Flamingo is not just an album; it is a voyage through the labyrinth of heartache and healing. Each track resonates with the overarching theme of the album, yet each presents a unique interpretation of it. Every song echoes the same meaning, the same core narrative, but from a different emotional lens." Each song flows differently, shifting the dreamy images into another direction. Thoughts of The Black Angels, the Fuzz Club catalogue and genres from shoegaze to garage pop and back to good old psych rock come to mind. In the end it appears that this struggle will never truly be decided. The Confederate Dead is their own beast, and a great one at that. Theirs is a sound that oozes confidence and grandeur, presented like a big name would. and there is no reason why The Confederate Dead would not dream big, they have the chops, the songs, the looks, the only thing standing in the way of moving up might be their dark brooding undertones and their refusal to do a cool thing twice.

Ivan The Tolerable is the alter ego solo project of Middlesbrough based musical wizard Oli Heffernan. Aside from his solo work as ITT, Oli has played in numerous bands over the years including Year Of Birds, King Champion Sounds with members of the Ex, Detective Instinct, and Shrug, and has collaborated with icons like Mike Watts of the Minutemen, and J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. Ivan The Tolerable started by accident in 2013 when Heffernan recorded a bunch of songs for his band at the time (Year Of Birds). These were a bit too left-field for a speedy garage band, so Oli decided to put them out on tape himself, and hasn't looked back since with releases on Up In Her Room, Stolen Body Records, and Library of the Occult to name just a few. Up In Her Room brings you the next entry from the Ivan The Tolerable archive reissue series, 2019's Wild Nature! Originally released on CD by Ack Ack Ack Records back in 2019, the album has now been remastered and repackaged, and appears on limited-edition orange wax. Here's a bit about the album in Oli's own words: "Wild Nature was originally recorded sporadically during the first half of 2019. It started life in one house, then I moved and it was finished in another. I remember screen-printing the original CD artwork on the sly at my old job during my lunch breaks and hand-assembled a small run of about 50 that are all long gone. I also remember walking around Albert Park early one morning in thick fog with a field recorder to capture the sounds that were then processed to form '23 Minutes Over Albert Park' (condensed to four mins for the reissue due to time constraints). I think this was also the last album I recorded vocals on and also the last one I recorded completely by myself -- all instruments, recording, mixing, mastering and artwork done by me at home."
