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.

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.

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

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.

fuckin love these dudes.

haha nice photo. classic

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.

theyr doin a bitters record? nice

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

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.

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.

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.

ooh

damn

really liking this slug guts lp

i think painting it as a lazy birthday party rip does it a disservice

Want to hear new moon duo.

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.

IF YOU LIKE NEU!

I do, so I like it.

Yeah the Follakzoid one is pretty awesome.

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.

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

basically the best label right now.

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

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

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

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

i really do love their sleeve aesthetic

Yeah me too

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

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.

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

i was never really sold on the cover aesthetic but:

Besdies The Men, what's good of the recent SB stuff?

the pop 1280 album is pretty good, and i think the war single is great

the first song to appear from the new slug guts lp out later this yr is ace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLk16svTsr8

Yeah the pop 1280 record is really great.

'open your heart' by the men is a HUGE step forward from the debut - great record

Love the latest Amen Dunes LP. It's pure horrorshow in places.

i've grown to love the new pop. 1280 - so scuzzy and nasty

Sounds like the Slug Guts have been enjoying the first two Psychedelic Furs LP's.

This label is the best

Really not feeling The Men that much :/

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.

some but not all ime. i don't believe the 45s do, the last few LPs all have

Aw :(

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

zola definitely does.

http://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/releases/sbr3008/

Awesome.

Uh they're doing the Eraserhead soundtrack on vinyl, that is.

awesome

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.

THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS for the Eraserhead LP/7", jesus fucking christ.

$25 it says.

oh good, I was looking at an Experimedia update... that's quite a markup!

it also says "temporarily out of stock"?

Maybe just because it hasn't been officially released yet?

http://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/images/releases/sbr3014-front.jpg

always love this label's aesthetic (except for the-men, actually).

what is deathrock

ok so it's the raw side of gothrock

so good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuVQ97doMs4

yeah this is good

Need that comp.

it's true

everyone needs this comp

http://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/releases/sbr3013/

Also awesome. Thnks pfrk..

There are a couple of duds on Killed By Deathrock but they don't kill the vibe.

no there are no duds on "killed by deathrock"

digging this new slick, hi fi Lust For Youth

pop 1280 "the horror" = so dope

https://sacredbonesrecords.bandcamp.com/

Pay-what-you-want through December 4, all profits benefit the Standing Rock water protectors.

what should I get?

the Psychic Ills album from this year is good, it's like alt-country Spacemen 3

i'm a big fan of the killed by deathrock comps, destruction unit and pop. 1280

i also like the first holydrug couple album though i'm not 100% sold on the second

my favorite of all though is amen dunes

i also agree with you psychic ills are great ("hazed dream" is my favorite)

not that familiar w the rest of the catalog

amen dunes "through donkey jaw" is an essential album imo

Cool, i copped kdb vol 2 (loved vol 1) and got the newest Destruction Unit. drummer of my old noisy rock band used to rave about them; i don't listen to much music like that anymore but u never know

Love all the Follokzoid albums. Maybe III > II > I for right now?
