Yeah, I've noticed it takes an extra week or two, sometimes, for Drag City stuff to show up on local shelves.

Although I did see the Joanna Newsom album on shelves *before* release day... so maybe their distribution model is just fucked?

Looking forward to grabbing this gem!

can anyone recommend any other good jams from the dragcity store since i'm already ordering?

the new Cave 12-inch is pretty killer

A few excellent releases from last year:
Om - God Is GoodJim O'Rourke - The VisitorSix Organs - Luminous Night
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 15:33 (fourteen years ago) link
the Helena Espvall & Masaki Batoh records are both excellent

Richard Bishop- The Freak Of Araby
would go nicely with the Rangda album

thanks guys! think i'm going with latest six organs, looks sweet
― sonderangerbot, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 16:18 (fourteen years ago) link
If it's not too late I fully recommend http://www.dragcity.com/products/empty-the-sun - Chasny in really schweeet acoustic mode (mostly [iirc]) and the novel that comes with it is kind of a blast too

Disagree. I love Rick Bishop to death... but this is, for lack of a better term, his "dinner party" album.

It wasn't "available" before today, though.
― Trip Maker,
Somehow Sonic Boom records in Seattle had both formats for sale last friday. Also picked up the new Cave 12" same day. Got 'em shipped out early I suppose. But did NOT see them at Everyday Music.

yeah, I didn't mean to imply that my local store was trying to get it before release date, just that they told me yesterday that they had been unable to get any copies in yet...

Is there a US tour?
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:02 (fourteen years ago) link
press release said US dates are booked, but I haven't seen any (and there aren't any on the Drag City site)
― tylerw, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Last week of August at Knitting Factory is the only definite I've seen-- see upthread.

man "Fist Family" is some continuous pummeling action
― bug holocaust (sleeve), Wednesday, 19 May 2010 22:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah no kidding. The last track is a killer and so epic.
― van smack, Wednesday, 19 May 2010 22:28 (fourteen years ago) link
that, "Plain of Jars" -- which is my current favorite
It almost sounds like a Velvet Underground song.
― van smack, Wednesday, 19 May 2010 22:30 (fourteen years ago) link
loving the jazzy breaks at the end of "Serrated Edges".
― bug holocaust (sleeve), Wednesday, 19 May 2010 22:36 (fourteen years ago) link

― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 23 May 2010 06:25 (fourteen years ago) link
holy christ is this great. yeah 'Plain of Jars' is like up there with Butterfield 'East/West', Quicksilver 'The Fool', Hendrix 'Third Stone' .. all the other epics
― Stormy Davis, Sunday, 23 May 2010 06:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Man Oh Man does this record ever deliver.
― Fetchboy, Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:32 (fourteen years ago) link

Loved these guys live in Glasgow last night; they were really raging & having fun with it...

due to complete memory failure i only got to this in time to see the second half. it cleansed my head.
― stirmonster, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 12:59 (fourteen years ago) link
So mad I will miss the NYC date.

great pics as always, krakow!
yeah, this fuckin' ruled - nearest thing i cld compare it to was keith moon sitting in w/ crazy horse or something... loved how HEAVY it was
altho' i was a bit bummed out by the pretty sparse attendance, the lack of jostling and chattering really let me get deep fried in the music - and i was only woken from my reverie by david k33nan shouting "unbelievable" behind me.
this youtube clip doesn't really do em justice, but still

corsano looks like a 14 year old next to Bishop, haha
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 20:37 (fourteen years ago) link
really hope I get to see these guys soon
my only complaint about this album is that it is not a double album.
― bug holocaust (sleeve), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Hoping there's tickets left for Cardiff tomorrow night. Hope I can find someone to go with me.

Agreed. It's too short!

Picking up the vinyl tomorrow - my local shop now has it in stock. Can't wait.
Like the photos, Krakow!

yeah, great pics!

So beautiful. Seeing these fellows in two days time at Brighton's shittest venue. Dammit, I am up for this thing.
― Vision Creation Mansun (NickB), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Finally got this today. On 3rd listen already and fucking love it.
My very first reaction was: this is like Haino/Tatsuya's "New Rap"! (which is, naturally, a Good Thing). It is, in some ways, but it's also more than that, of course (e.g. the fine closer).
And yeah, where's the download code or whatever?! I'll have to dl this elsewhere for out and about.
― Duke, Wednesday, 2 June 2010 22:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Bought it off amazon MP3 last night. Listening now for the first time. Damn.

Serrated Edges and Plain Of Jars are the most Sun City Girls-like on here. What Corsano is doing on Plains And Jars is classic Charlie Gocher (RIP).
