A landscape already musical in itself. He grew up in the dry mountain light, surrounded by the rhythms of nature and Berber's culture. Very little is known about the man -- a veil of mystery still surrounds his life, only deepening the fascination. In the 1970s, as Morocco was transforming, Abdou El Omari shaped a sound of his own -- a visionary blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelic funk, Moroccan traditions, and early electronic experimentation. Today, his work is resurfacing, rediscovered by a new generation of listeners in search of lost horizons. This record stands among its rarest and most precious fragments. At twenty-two, he founded his first group, Les Fugitifs, which gained him local fame. Soon after, he released records and cassettes on labels such as Cléopâtre, Hassania, Boussiphone, Hilali, and his own, Al Awtar, while performing on RTM (national radio and television). He also composed for artists like Naima Samih, Laila Ghofran, and Aicha El Waad. In 1976, through the label Gam, he released his only vinyl album, Nuits d'été -- a record that would become cult decades later, reissued in 2017 by Radio Martiko. In the 1980s, his music grew quieter, more secret. He tried to recover his old tapes from the studios he had recorded in, but gradually withdrew from the scene and returned to hairdressing. A pioneer of musical fusion, he opened paths that would remain unexplored for years. He passed away in 2010, never witnessing the rediscovery of his music by diggers, bloggers, and collectors online. One day, his close friend and poet Aziz Essamadi, rescued a cardboard box from the trash -- a box containing Abdou El Omari's personal archives. It was later entrusted to Casablanca based collector Ahmed Khalil, founder of the label Dikraphone. Inside were treasures preserved by chance: demos, rehearsals, private recordings, unseen photographs -- and a stunning, almost forgotten cassette. Here, El Omari sounds bolder than ever, exploring territories where pop, cosmic disco, electric blues, and Moroccan tradition merge without boundaries. Armed with his ARP Odyssey synthesizer, hypnotic grooves, and the celestial layers of his Farfisa, he expanded the dialogue between deep roots and electronic exploration. This album is the continuation of a vision -- a music of the Moroccan future: rooted, but reaching for the unknown. Colorful, magnetic and timeless, here is music for dancing as much as for dreaming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Born Bad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42328981995600,"sku":"amsdrop","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4838\/files\/newvinylabdouomari.jpg?v=1778509024"},{"product_id":"tim-maia-tim-maia-1973-lp","title":"Tim Maia \"Tim Maia (1973)\" LP","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTim Maia (1973) is one of the defining albums from Tim Maia, blending Brazilian rhythms with American soul, funk, and R\u0026amp;B influences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures rich horn arrangements, deep grooves, and Maia’s powerful vocal style across classics from his early ’70s peak period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor fans of: Jorge Ben Jor, Cassiano, Marcos Valle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim Maia's self-titled 1973 album is one of those records that hits you from the very first groove and doesn't let go. Originally released on Polydor Brazil, this was the fourth in a series of Tim's self-titled albums -- and many fans and critics still consider it the crown jewel. Packed with irresistible hooks, lush arrangements, and that unmistakable Tim Maia swagger, the album captures the singer at the peak of his creative powers. If you're new to Tim Maia, here's the quick story: born in Rio de Janeiro, Tim was a larger-than-life icon whose music married American soul and funk with Brazilian samba and pop long before \"fusion\" was a buzzword. A true musical polymath, he absorbed everything from Curtis Mayfield to Motown and translated it into a sound entirely his own -- gritty, passionate, and full of groove. He didn't just introduce soul to Brazil; he made it Brazilian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this 1973 release, Tim pushes everything up a notch. The arrangements are bigger, slicker, and surprisingly majestic, without losing the raw spirit that earned him a devoted following. From the moment \"Réu Confesso\" opens the album, you know you're in for something special -- smooth, funky, and heartfelt in all the right ways. The bittersweet \"Gostava Tanto de Você\" remains one of his most beloved classics, while \"O Balanço\" bursts with Brazilian flavor that practically dares you not to move. And with tracks like \"Do Your Thing, Behave Yourself\" and \"Over Again,\" Tim shows just how naturally the soul idiom fit him, even when he switched to English. This record has everything: deep grooves, soaring strings, magnetic vocals, and that unmistakable sense of joy that Tim Maia carried into every session. It's a front-to-back winner -- one of those albums that deserves a spot not just in Brazilian music history, but in any collection that celebrates great soul, funk, and timeless grooves. If you're a longtime fan, it's a reminder of why Tim Maia is legendary. If you're discovering him for the first time, this is the perfect place to start. Either way: press play, turn it up, and let Tim do his thing.

Free As You Wanna Be, his first album with his band The Lightmen, predates the deep-set, maverick jazz issued by the likes of Tribe and Strata East: this album is a harbinger of the collective voice of resistance to the musical and cultural status quo that emerged in the 1970s jazz underground. Most of the tracks remain strongly groove-based with a clear sense of cohesion, but a few of the performances push further out than you might expect from later Lightmen releases, revealing the band's deep roots in avant-jazz. This lineup includes a very young Ronnie Laws sounding noticeably removed from the jazz-fusion style he'd adopt in the late '70s.

Mamman Sani's electronic organ music, first recorded in 1978, made him a national hero in Niger, led to him writing the Niger's new national anthem, and has long been cherished by aficionados for its unique blend of traditional Nigerien melodies and synth experimentation. Mamman's music embodies a sense of intimacy, echoing the presence of a solo artist in the room with the listener. This album is the result of a serendipitous meeting at the Nyege Nyege Festival in Uganda. Both artists shared a residency and studio space, which led to long recording sessions together over the course of two weeks, capturing the organic fusion of Mamman's synth melodies and Tropikal Camel's percussive electronic beats. Despite their divergent backgrounds and ages, Mamman at 73 and Tropikal Camel at 44, they found equilibrium in their collaborative process. Nijerusalem pays homage to the warm synth sounds of the '80s while infusing them with an African electronic aesthetic. Mamman's music, rooted in Nigerien folk traditions, finds new life in this sonic exploration, resonating with authenticity and innovation. Both Mamman Sani and Tropikal Camel draw from rich and diverse cultural backgrounds, creating a dialogue of cultural exchange and mutual respect. Mamman's heritage, with roots in the Hausa and Tuareg tribes, intersects with Tropikal Camel's own North African and Middle Eastern roots and musical interests. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Batov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42430281220176,"sku":"amddrop2-4062548088960","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4838\/files\/a0210550934_10.jpg?v=1780106816"},{"product_id":"sababa-5-and-yurika-kokoro-lp","title":"Sababa 5 \u0026 Yurika \"Kokoro\" LP","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollaborative debut LP from Sababa 5 and Japanese vocalist Yurika Hanashima.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends Middle Eastern psych, funk, disco, and Japanese folk-pop into a bright cross-cultural set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollects Tokyo Midnight, Nasnusa, Crossroad of Love, the title track, and new album material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor fans of: Altin Gün, Şatellites, Ouzo Bazooka, Anatolian psych, and Japanese pop vocals over deep grooves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=246788809\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sababa5.bandcamp.com\/album\/kokoro\"\u003eKokoro - こころ by Sababa 5 \u0026amp; Yurika\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiddle Eastern psych, funk, disco, and Japanese folk and pop, converge to create a mesmerizing new sound on Kokoro, Sababa 5 and Yurika's collaborative debut album for Batov Records, collecting four acclaimed singles and four brand new songs. Renowned for their innovative approach to merging Middle Eastern psych, funk and disco grooves, Sababa 5 found their perfect partner in Japanese singer and belly dancer Yurika Hanashima, who having graced stages dancing with Boom Pam and Ouzo Bazooka, found her own voice alongside the group, and together yielded hits \"Tokyo Midnight,\" \"Nasnusa,\" and \"Crossroad of Love,\" earning accolades from tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, Cerys Mathews, and Jeremy Sole. In Kokoro, Sababa 5 and Yurika present a collection of tracks that transcend cultural boundaries and delve into the depths of human emotion. From the nostalgic romance of \"Nasnusa\" to the carefree \"Halilim Halilim,\" each song on the album tells a story of love, sisterhood, and the journey of the soul. The title track, \"Kokoro\", which embodies the essence of the album's musical exploration, refers to the sky, the performers' journey together, and the moment. Psychedelic soul, with touches of the Mediterranean coast and desert. Opener \"Empty Hands\" explores Yurika's theory that \"when you have empty hands you get everything\", countered by the hypnotizing keys of Eitan Drabkin over an Afrobeat inspired groove, and bittersweet bassline from Amir Sadot. The playful and summery \"Halilim Halilim\" was inadvertently named by Dani Ever Hadani of Middle Eastern psych and surf rockers, Ouzo Bazouka, and alludes to how love enters and leaves our lives like the air blown through a flute. Ilam Smilan's exceptional guitar playing stands out, as does the unwavering groove and rhythm of drummer Raz Man. The second half of the record collects Sababa 5 and Yurika's earlier and incredibly popular singles. The attraction of Yurika's mesmerizing vocals over Sababa 5's infectious grooves is irresistible across Kokoro, and the album marks a significant milestone in both their musical journeys. As Sababa 5 continue to redefine their sound, and Yurika establishes herself as a vocalist of note, Kokoro stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the timeless bonds of music, love and romance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Batov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42430281252944,"sku":"amddrop2-4062548085815","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4838\/files\/cover-7-1024x1024.jpg?v=1780106817"},{"product_id":"sandman-project-where-did-you-go-lp","title":"Sandman Project \"Where Did You Go?\" LP","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebut album from Sandman Project, led by guitarist and composer Tal Sandman.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass-heavy LP drawing from Ethio-jazz, Afrobeat, American soul, Mediterranean funk, and psychedelic textures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures the title track, Karnataka, Temptation \u0026amp; Figs, The X Files, Cauda Equina, and The Other Side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor fans of: Mulatu Astatke, Menahan Street Band, Sun Ra-adjacent jazz, Afrobeat, and cinematic psych-funk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Did You Go? has a roaming, widescreen feel, with horns, guitar, percussion, and synth details moving in and out of focus.

Led by guitarist and composer Tal Sandman, Tel Aviv based Sandman Projects' last release was in 2018 on their debut EP, their only existing recording. Six years later and it is no surprise this expansive work is positively brimming with an ocean of ideas, rooted in jazz, exceptionally crafted and boasting a myriad of musical pivots with a subtle but crucial production and synth touch by producer Tomer Baruch. Absolutely key to this new recording and Tal's adult musical upbringing and education is the ongoing influence of saxophonist Abate Barihun, sometimes known as the Ethiopian John Coltrane who is an Ethiopian Jew who emigrated to Israel in 1999. Whilst he doesn't feature directly on the record, Tal has long been mentored and stewarded by him and she affirms that \"his inspiration continues to play a crucial role in my creative process.\" And so, to the album's title track \"Where Did You Go?\" which oozes film-noir with Tal's omnipresent Tizta sound using the Tezeta scales from Ethiopia dictating the mood whilst synths transcend and build an immersive soundscape something akin to Mulatu Astake jamming with the Fleet Foxes with Brian Eno-esque electronic manipulation. The Sandman project line up comprises of five core musicians with Tal Sandman on electric guitar, Tal Avraham playing trumpet, Tal Eyal on percussion, Noam Cherchie on drums, and Ariel Harrosh on bass. Additional synth and organ provided by producer Tomer Baruch and guest vocalist Dafna Shilon joins on the album closer \"The Other Side.\" Further vintage synth excursions repeat on \"Cauda Equina,\" with Tal's heavy fretting giving the track a funk feel, and a dreamy one as the trumpet builds. Six years in the waiting, and with plentiful personal and collective transformation giving Where Did You Go? a deeper sense of geography and global nuance, the new sound of Sandman Project is rich, porous and dreamy and essentially, full of hope.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Batov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42430281285712,"sku":"amddrop2-4062548083576","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4838\/files\/cover-6-1024x1024.jpg?v=1780106819"},{"product_id":"tomoyuki-trio-shitsuren-lp","title":"Tomoyuki Trio \"Shitsuren\" LP","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond LP from Tomoyuki Trio, featuring Tomoyuki Aoki with Mike Vest and Dave Sneddon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIssued by Feeding Tube with Cardinal Fuzz involvement, following the group's Mars LP.

Tomoyuki Aoki is the founding member and lead guitarist of the legendary Tokyo Psych Monsters Up-Tight. Of all the Japanese psych-rock groups that emerged in the late nineties and early noughties, Up-Tight are the most reverent, the most directly plugged into the source, from their name (Velvet Underground) with knowing referential song titles like \"Sweet Sister\" to their extended heavy, dark black clad acid fried one chord psych melters -- bands like Fushitsusha, White Heaven, Kousokuya, Shizuka, and the grandaddies of 'em all, the deservedly-legendary, Les Rallizes Denudes.

Abronia is one of those bands. From the first thud of their 32-inch bass drum to the coil of pedal steel winding through the haze, the sound of this Portland-based six-piece is unmistakable. Over the past decade, Abronia has been refining their singular blend of widescreen psychedelia, desert noir, Eastern drone, avant-jazz, doom, post-punk, and acid-folk -- channeling something that feels at once ritualistic and cinematic. Now, the band presents their fourth studio album, Shapes Unravel. Sonically, this is Abronia's most ambitious and compositionally daring record to date -- the album moves with a strange gravitational pull, layering grief, haunted memory, and flashes of transcendence into something emotionally expansive and structurally bold. Moments of crushing weight give way to eerie stillness, held together by an urgency that feels vital, not calculated. It's a record that doesn't politely wait for your attention; it pulls you into its orbit whether you're ready or not. Listeners' first glimpse into Shapes Unravel is the single \"New Imposition.\" The track opens with echoing guitar plucking and eerie pedal steel and unfolds quickly into a cinematic score, transporting you instantly into the world of Abronia. When asked about the song, singer\/saxophone player Keelin Mayer says, \"Going into a Fred Meyer (Pacific Northwest one stop shopping) during the pandemic -- walking around the store while your drug addicted boyfriend shove racks of ribs, ice cream and deodorant down his pants, while people are shooting up in the bathroom. We think someone steals his iPhone at the self-checkout, but it turns up shoved between two bags of chips. You only realize your boyfriend was shoplifting when he pulls the stolen things out of his pants in the car. The guilt and shame you feel as you watch so many people succumb to addiction. That Fred Meyer location is now closed because it couldn't sustain the wave of crime. Watching the fruits of unbridled capitalism and the greed of the ruling elite bloom into full technicolor.

For some strange reason -- surely related to the country's extreme conditions, its high altitude, and the influence of huayno -- Bolivian recordings are truly unique and fascinating. A multitude of bands sprang up under the influence of groups -- mainly British -- that dominated the international charts. From the ashes of two of Bolivia's most important seminal bands, Los Black Byrds and The Turtles, two new groups fundamental to the history of Bolivian rock would be born: the mythical Climax and the legendary Loving Darks. Los Amantes Oscuros brings together for the first time on vinyl the recordings this band made between 1968 and 1969, originally released across three EPs on the local Lyra label. Their repertoire is packed with covers such as \"El Adivino,\" a sped-up reinterpretation of \"Fortune Teller,\" or even \"Algo de títere,\" a reworking of \"Jumpin' Jack Flash.\" They also adapt the classic \"Call Me\" by Tony Hatch and \"Toad\" by Cream, from whom they borrow the cover of one of their most iconic albums for the artwork of their EP Complicado. In fact, \"Complicado\" -- a proto-punk version of the Rolling Stones' \"Complicated\" and their signature track -- is a perfect example of how a Bolivian band could outdo the British giants in attitude and power. Their importance lies in having paved the way for new sounds, styles, and aesthetics within a still-emerging scene. This compilation is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and includes an insert with notes on the band's history.

Reinventing himself as Ernan Roch, La Onda Pesada was finally released a year later, credited to Ernan Roch with Las Voces Frescas. Three elements really stood out on the record: Ernan's strong, expressive vocals; the guitars, ranging from powerful fuzz driven riffs to calm, reflective passages close to the folk sound of Simon \u0026amp; Garfunkel; and the high poetic level of the lyrics. The album included songs written during his year in the U.S.: \"Sittin on a Side of the Ocean,\" \"Give Me a Piece (She Doesn't Care),\" and \"The Train,\" which opened Side A. The songs reflect the existential angst of a 16-year-old -- Ernan's age when he wrote them. For instance, \"The Train,\" with its powerful guitar intro, might suggest the anticipation of love, but it's actually not about romance at all: it deals with suicide and a dialogue with death, portrayed as a woman dressed in black waiting at the end of the station. The life-and death theme continues in \"Sittin on a Side of the Ocean,\" which speaks of a loveless world filled with hate, erupting into a striking riff by guitarist Miguel Cárdenas. These tracks were joined on Side A by \"I Found All,\" \"I Can't,\" and \"Round Round.\" Side B featured \"Gonna Make I,\" \"A Life of Love,\" \"Cause of Love,\" \"All Right\/It's Gonna Take Me Time,\" and \"Give Me a Peace,\" for a total of ten songs. The quality of the material is even more impressive when you realize Rocha was only 17 years old when he recorded it. When the album came out, with its bluesy, psychedelic sound and Hendrix-inspired guitar work, it seemed destined for commercial success -- but several factors stood in the way. One was the growing censorship of Mexican rock after Avándaro; another was the new government's view of rock as \"cultural imperialism.\" The record went largely unnoticed throughout the '70s and '80s, but with the rise of online marketplaces in the early 2000s, it was rediscovered by international collectors, who hailed it as a hidden gem and praised its production.

Los Teddy's were natives of the Peruvian Amazon region of Iquitos. The band was created in 1966 and started to play the early-afternoon slots at Lima's venues, along with a bunch of other bands from Peru's capital city. Tony Marin, frontman of the band, was soon nicknamed \"the barefoot singer\" following his habit of not wearing shoes at any of their gigs. The other members were Willy Angulo (guitar), Markov Rios (guitar), Pepe Castro (drums), and Carlos Denegri (bass). After a few years being one of the most solid groups in the Lima's scene, MAG signed them to record an LP that was finally released in 1968. As in many other similar albums recorded at that time by Latin American bands, the track list contains covers of international chart-hits of the year, including songs by The Rolling Stones or The Doors (an outstanding take on \"Hello I Love You\" with Spanish lyrics and raw fuzz guitars). The lysergic original \"Efectos (Effects)\" is also one of the strongest tracks of the album, proving there was much more than just standard covers in this band's repertoire.

Since his first hits in the early '60s, this the greatest icons of the greatest icons of Brazilian pop music. His anthems \"Mais Que Nada\" or \"Pais Tropical\" are among two of the most ever listened Brazilian songs of all time. Ben's self-titled 1969 album is a true samba-soul masterpiece from one of Brazil's most creative voices. This isn't your typical late-'60s LP: Jorge Ben blends the hypnotic swing of samba with funk, psychedelia, and sun-soaked soul in a way that feels both classic and ahead of its time. Released in November 1969, this was Jorge Ben's sixth studio record, and his first back with the Philips label after a creative hiatus. He recorded it with the tight-knit, percussive groove of Trio Mocotó -- whose rhythms lock in beautifully with Ben's laid-back guitar and vocals. On top of that, the album features lush orchestral arrangements from José Briamonte and Rogério Duprat, adding a soaring, psychedelic dimension to Ben's sound. Standout tracks? You've got the joyous anthem \"País Tropical,\" a perfect celebration of Brazilian life. Then there's \"Take It Easy My Brother Charles,\" a socially conscious number that tells the story of a rebellious sailor -- Ben weaves in themes of race, identity, and resilience. And songs like \"Que Pena\" bring in that sweet, soulful melancholy, while breezy cuts like \"Criola,\" \"Domingas,\" and \"Barbarella\" highlight his playful, poetic side. This record is a rare blend of genres -- samba, soul, funk, psychedelia -- and it's got a timeless energy. Whether you're already into Brazilian music or just looking for something fresh and soulful, Jorge Ben's 1969 album is a joyous entry point.

Hatched from desperation yet full of hope Ghetto Records came crashing down shortly after its inception. The seven albums in the Ghetto discography languished out of print. From Ear to Ear (1971) by La Fantástica was one of them. Orquesta La Fantástica was led by tenor saxophonist, vocalist, and composer Samuel \"Sammy\" León, who hailed from Brooklyn. His 11-piece orchestra of local musicians featured a rather unique sound, which combined piano and vibraphone with a brass section of two tenor saxophones and a pair of trumpets. They were signed to Ghetto Records by Bataan's business partner George Febo after being blown away by both the band and the overwhelming reaction of the crowd at the Village Gate. La Fantástica had all original tunes, with modern arrangements and a típico feel. Most importantly, they were fortunate to have vocalist Rafael \"Ralphy\" De Jesús, aka Chuleta and From Ear To Ear greatly benefited from his contributions. From Ear To Ear is composed exclusively of heavy-hitters, including the beguiling English-language psychedelic soul slow-burner \"Latin Blues.\" \"Con Quién Andas,\" a hot salsa banger beloved by DJs and collectors alike, features killer saxophone and trumpet riffs with an interplay worthy of Puente or Machito. Though \"Ya No Te Quiero\" and \"Telegrama\" are breakup songs, they function as swinging dance floor ass-shakers with heavy percussion breaks and crazy horn riffs. The band's origins as an instrumental outfit are further displayed by a couple of vocal-free workouts that close out the album: \"M\u0026amp;M,\" a guaguancó rumba jam session dedicated to the band's discoverer, Maisonave, and \"Sassie,\" a Latin jazz suite that flies through a number of captivating sections with different rhythms, tempos, and arrangements. One aspect of the release that has inspired discussion and conjecture is its psychedelic album art. It was designed by an employee at Sanabria's design studio, Charlie Rosario. They wanted something more-colorful and hip that would grab the public's attention. Rosario's surrealistic illustration, with its disembodied ears, rainbows and multi-colored female head floating amongst the clouds, was perfect.

Brian Eno was certainly instrumental in creating and popularizing the concept of \"ambient music\" -- but it was not his invention alone. The German musicians Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (Cluster) were brothers in spirit. As so often in music, the idea of ambient was in the air -- both Eno and Cluster experimenting with the form in the 1970s, rendering any debate as to who influenced who redundant. What is certain, is that Brian Eno attended a Cluster concert in Hamburg in 1975, strategically positioning himself in the front row. Sure enough, he was invited on stage to jam with the band and, after the show, the participants arranged to meet up again. They did so two years later at the Old Weserhof in Forst, the domicile of the German duo. Eno and Cluster spent three weeks in Conny Plank's studio, resulting in two albums: Cluster \u0026amp; Eno and After The Heat (1978). In the liner notes, Asmus Tietchens (who also plays on the record along with Can's Holger Czukay) writes: \"Clearly, all three musicians inspired each other during their three weeks together without any clash of personalities. Nevertheless, some tracks sound more like Cluster, some more like Eno. So it made perfect sense to collect the tracks with a Cluster flavor on Cluster \u0026amp; Eno.\" The importance of this record can never be overstated, nor can its elegance of diverse forms be matched.

CocoRosie has been a project consistently at the musical vanguard, influencing countless musicians while inspiring and creating refuge for the “criminal queers” of the world. Above all, CocoRosie has been a conduit for irrepressible artistic self realization. ‘Little Death Wishes’ is as open and tenderhearted as anything they’ve ever created. The songs tell a kaleidoscopic story of the generational hardship of women and the shattered realities of their lives, the precarious and precious nature of being human, of being done wrong by love, and a final wish to be unbroken. It boils everything CocoRosie down to its most brutal essence: turning pain into knowledge, sisterhood into polemic, trash into treasure, and recalcifying kitsch and cliché into fresh truths. The duo’s 8th long player exists in its own musical lexicon. It is both primordial and tawdry, a rich bricolage of dusted-over pop culture signifiers that the sisters contort into their own sense of temporality. Contributing to the avant garde, yet unbeholden to contemporary trends, CocoRosie collects musical detritus from other times, which they fashion into their own baroque, theatricalized creations. With the sisters’ hands deep in every layer of their music, each song on ‘Little Death Wishes’ feels transportative and transformative. “CocoRosie has been the center of our lives for such a long time now,” says Bianca. In those years, the sisters have been infantilized and revered, fetishized and mirrored, misogynized and adored; at times willfully misunderstood by the press—which has failed to reduce the group into mere perverse whimsy.

Together with versatile music producer Andi Toma of Mouse on Mars, she combined a variety of sounds collected during their joint travels to Iraqi Kurdistan and elsewhere with heavily processed recordings of Sufi drum rhythms and setar melodies. The result is a driving, dubbed-out, and deeply intricate soundscape that perfectly sets the stage for Mojtahedy’s extended, unconventional vocal techniques and polyglot lyrics. Both informed by tradition and rigorously forward-looking, »Hjirok« (with a lowercase J) is at once a profoundly personal album and a universal utopian promise.

Following the runaway success of her EP collection, 'The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas', Courtney Barnett returns with her debut album. Recorded in the Autumn of 2014 in an intense 10 day session at Head Gap studios in Melbourne, the album finally brings Barnett's incisive vision into stark, unflinching focus; her wit sharpened to a knife edge, her melodies more infectious and addictive than ever. 'Sometimes I Just Sit and Think, and Sometimes I just Sit' cements Barnett's standing as one of the most distinctive voices in indie rock. Mixing witty, often hilarious observations with devastating self-assessment over a beguiling collection of songs that reveals her as an ambitious songwriter with an ear for clever turns of phrase and an eye for story-song details that are literate without being pretentious. Depressing rentals and dead foxes, go-nowhere relationships and dead end suburbs, even her own fears, doubts and insecurities - nothing escapes Barnett's caustic sense of humour. If 'The Double EP' announced the arrival of a major new talent, 'Sometimes...' consolidates that promise and marks Courtney Barnett as one of the best and most unique voices around, period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0858275022117\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mom + Pop Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42431361876048,"sku":"amsdrop2-018-0858275022117","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4838\/files\/courtneybarnettsometimes.webp?v=1780409077"},{"product_id":"courtney-barnett-tell-me-how-you-really-feel-mirror-board-vinyl-lp","title":"Courtney Barnett \"Tell Me How You Really Feel (Mirror Board Vinyl)\" LP","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReview note: Rolling Stone called it “Modest masterpiece.”.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor fans of: Kurt Vile, Sleater-Kinney, Waxahatchee, Liz Phair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most distinctive voices in music, Courtney is known for mixing witty observations with unflinching self-assessment - fast forward to now and although all of the cleaver turns of phrase and an eye for story telling are still there; this new collection of songs see a more serious and outwardly tone capturing the current social landscape yet still retaining moments of intimacy and warmth.
