sacred bones records classic or dud? search and destroy?

album covers make it a standalone class act. what do you guys think?

Love the Zola Jesus and Gary War stuff, for sure. The 13th Chime reissues have their moments too, definitely. I haven't really "gotten" the Carl Simmons record... Moon Duo are kind of annoying.

― jonathan - stl, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 00:43 (3 years ago) Permalink

I love most of this stuff!

My favorites:
Factums 'The Sistrum' LP
Children's Hospital "Alone Together" LP
Carl Simmons LP (it is a thing.)
Zola 7" & LP
The Rebel live LP--limited edition came packaged in a black satin bag.

I like the Moon Duo record! And though I'm not generally a huge post-punk guy, I do enjoy the 13th Chime reissues a lot.

great label, factums and moon duo and gary war especially.

― samosa gibreel, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 01:06 (3 years ago) Permalink

I think that the Children's Hospital lp is my fave.

― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 01:13 (3 years ago) Permalink

Zola Jesus - The Spoils has definitely been one of my top go-to discs of the past months...in particular the CD version which adds the two previous sevens. i don't feel that "Dog", "Six Feet (From My Baby)" or "Clay Bodies" can be dissed or wrecked a'mighty.

Factums - Flowers. a great 'new' disc, though recorded several years ago. put on "Gold" at top volume and tell me honestly you didn't just bust a rib flailin' around tha room.

even if they didn't put out fantastic new music, they would still be a swell reissue label...both the 13th Chime and Cultural Decay discs are ace in my book...looking forward to hearing what else they can dig up/put out.

unfortunately haven't heard the Children's Hospital LP but given the above recommendations will be checking it v. soon....uh, yo!

Zola Jesus is basically my favorite new-ish artist.

I am so excited for her new one.

Thanks for that page. I love this label. Children's Hospital is my favorite too (just recently finally got it on vinyl). Factums. The first Blank Dogs ep. The new Zola Jesus is very good. So much goodness

Also looking forward to the new Bitters 12"

The Children's Hospital record is almost cooler on CD.. that photo book is amazing.

do all these new lofi punky garage bands use the spector beat exclusively?

― jaxon, Thursday, 25 March 2010 22:08 (3 years ago) Permalink

I think that Carl Simmins benefits by changing the record speed to your liking from song to song. In fact, I sort of think it's expected.

― bamcquern, Thursday, 25 March 2010 22:15 (3 years ago) Permalink

I'm kinda excited to get the new batch of 12" lps from Follakzoid and Holydrug Couple. The sound cloud clips are just what I'm needing right now.

― van smack, Friday, 28 January 2011 05:13 (2 years ago) Permalink

enjoying ^this which has just been released ~I admit Brisbane bias tho and a friend sings on one of the trax.

And now the other dude sings. Their last album down on the meat is also def worth a listen.

xp hangin' in the pisser is <3. Decided I like the current singer's deadpan-y delivery. Prev singer Jimi's pseudo beefheart snarl not w/out merit though

Follakzoid 12" is pretty cool.

Yeah the Follakzoid one is pretty awesome.

― van smack, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 01:55 (2 years ago) Permalink

Slug Guts LP is a monster and Föllakzoid is perfect for zoning out and I am super psyched about the new Moon Duo and TRUST and Naked on the Vague stuff. not feeling the Cult of Youth record but I know lots of people who would dig it. The Nice Face was my favorite thing last year with Effi Briest not to far behind. basically the best label right now.

― fffv, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 02:08 (2 years ago) Permalink

effi briest record is great. don't like the CoY record at all though..

― la broheme (electricsound), Tuesday, 29 March 2011 02:09 (2 years ago) Permalink

They've been on a roll over the last year.

― van smack, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 02:13 (2 years ago) Permalink

i like nice face, too, & effi briest. i've never been ~blown away~ by a sacred bones release (except maybe factums' flowers) but i've also never heard one that wasn't chill & rly good. moon duo 12" i heard last year was ok, a bit too boring but haven't written them off or anything, a new lp could be gr8

― flopson, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 02:14 (2 years ago) Permalink

ok listening to mazes now & it is really cool. riyl cool sounds produced by guitars

― flopson, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 02:33 (2 years ago) Permalink

I think Children's Hospital is one their better releases.

― van smack, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 02:52 (2 years ago) Permalink

Loving the new Moon Duo album. The Sonic Boom remixes on the bonus CD are definitely worth a listen too.

― plazzTT, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 12:00 (2 years ago) Permalink

agree, the Moon Duo record blew me away on first listen. i'm gonna carve out more time for it this week. totally great album. haven't gotten to the bonus disc yet, but looks v. promising -- Sonic Boom, Cave, Psychic Ills, couple others i forget

@GLOWER METAL thanks for the Follakzoid tip. Sounds excellent, gonna get that 12" http://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/releases/sbr044/

these guys should really just work like a 401k. you throw them a bit from every pay period and they keep sending you records...you can then go home and retire to great stuff every night.

― bb, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 19:56 (2 years ago) Permalink

naked on the vague EP is a huge step forward for a band i previously found really lame. great stuff

been on a SB binge as of late. can't get enough moon duo, adore the slug guts record, quite looking forward to the circle pit EP as well, as they went from being a bit of a joke to something really interesting over the last year

Stupid question: do all of SB's vinyl releases include a download, or is it just some releases/more recent ones? I've been trying to get an answer from the label, but I'm not sure my email is getting through.

Thanks for the info, though- does anyone know if the Moon Duo remix collection and the last Zola Jesus LP do?

I don't know why I even bought that Men album; it seemed more like something I *should* have liked rather than something I actually did like. I get whiplash from how different every track is. And I usually like albums that have thematic and genre variety, but something about it didn't work for me.
