Bugseed ~ Some Foods

Golden Diskó Ship ~ Invisible Bonfire

The music of Theresa Stroetges (Golden Diskó Ship) is beautiful, beguiling and bold.  Why can’t more pop music be like this?  Simultaneously more accessible and intricate than 2012’s Prehistoric Dance Party, her latest work cements her reputation as a dynamic composer.

Katie Gately / Tlaotlon ~ Split

Fatcat’s split series has been ongoing since 1997, and after this 12″ is released, only one will remain.  The series predates the digital age and has managed to last into the vinyl resurgence.  Previous installments have featured Third Eye Foundation,
