NEW MASERATI ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
For those of you that missed the face-meltingly spectacular single we leaked last month (fittingly titled "The Eliminator"), you are in for a hell of a treat! And for those of you that already know and have been pushing us to make this available, consider this our formal apology for holding out on you! This is an album of firsts for Maserati: their first conceived with badass new drummer Mike Albanese (replacing the dearly beloved and truly unforgettable Jerry Fuchs), their first recorded with the esteemed Kevin Ratterman (Young Widows, My Morning Jacket), their first mixed entirely by Steve Moore (Zombi), and their first to include vocals (albeit on only one song, and heavily processed, but that still counts)! This is their finest sounding record yet, and easily their most revved-up. As always, early birds get the limited-edition colored vinyl. And speaking of the vinyl, it comes housed in a super psy-fi intergalactastic gatefold jacket worthy of framing next to your signed photos of Neil Armstrong and Neil Peart.
NEW MONO ALBUM 'FOR MY PARENTS' OUT NOW
At long last, the mighty MONO return! Coming three long years after their brilliant 'Hymn To The Immortal Wind,' this new album, the lovingly titled 'For My Parents,' picks up where 'Hymn' left off. The maturity and elegance on display here is sincerely stunning. It's dramatic, breathtaking, heartbreaking, and at time otherworldly. In other words, it's MONO, the way only MONO can do. Anf if you get the chance to see this transcendent band live, DO IT.
THE TELEPHONE MAN ANTHOLOGY AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
This is a labor of love that's many, many years in the making. This very obscure band from Louisville, Kentucky existed from 1992-94, and have had a soft spot in our hearts for the twenty years since. They were at the forefront of what would eventually be marked as "post-rock," combining the sinister pace of fellow Louisvillians Slint with the emotional drive of early 90s DC post-punk. A few years back we gathered all the various master tapes and artwork and set out to remaster it all into one exhaustive collection. This CD contains all 15 songs the band recorded, over an hour of music. To be honest, most of this holds up ridiculously well, and still sounds incredibly relevant. We're so happy to have this in our catalog. Check this one off the bucket list!

If you are anywhere near the area, these are must-see shows! This new LP is strictly limited to 1,000 copies, and includes a free MP3 download coupon.
BRAND NEW THREE MILE PILOT MUSIC AND TOUR
Believe it! A brand new EP by Three Mile Pilot, and we didn't even have to wait 12 years for it! The CD and LP both contain 5 new songs, all of which are as great or better than their killer comeback album from 2010. Both formats are limited editions, and the vinyl comes with a custom vinyl etching! The first 100 vinyl mail orders will get the super limited colored vinyl! And to celebrate this new release, the band are touring again for only the second time in two decades! If you are anywhere near one of these historic events, make sure you're a part of it! After all, live shows are as common as comets with these guys. This will ship on or around July 15.
