AnD ~ Social Decay
A triple 12″? Yes, that’s the way to go on this album. The wider grooves allow for deeper bass, while the hum and crunch have room to expand. Social Decay is part of a new resurgence for industrial music, following recent

Godspeed You! Black Emperor ~ Luciferian Towers
This is the third album since Godspeed You! Black Emperor‘s studio return five years ago, mirroring their output from 1997-2002. By now it’s fair to say that this isn’t just a band returned, it’s a band rejuvenated. So what’s happened in

Various Artists ~ The Folklore of Plants Vol. I
Another expansive (but not expensive) project from Folklore Tapes, The Folklore of Plants is a tiny treasure trove. In addition to the LP, the contents include two pamphlets, a postcard, a packet of seeds, and a link to a short 16mm film.

Gilroy Mere ~ The Green Line
What a warm and wonderful release! Older Londoners will be especially chuffed at the release of this nostalgic album, which celebrates The Green Line of buses that connected London to its neighbors for half a century, ending in 1986. As much a
