Abandoned Apartments
Jeremy Jay’s latest, Abandoned Apartments, feels lived in, familiar, but filled with creaking shadows that
go deep into the unknown. A product of several years spent in self-inflicted isolation and at various selfproduced recording sessions, it is studied and wiser, culling its synthesizer tones from late-80s goth pop and
touching on something darker than anything else Jay’s ever made.

Sun Marquee
From road trips through South America to surfing excursions in Indonesia, Austin-based musician Abram
Shook has been fortunate to have the opportunity to absorb more of the world’s cultures first-hand than
many of us ever will. His solo debut, Sun Marquee breathes with the lungs of a man that finally found a new
place to call home, while also reflecting upon the circuitous path that led him here. Propelled by Shook’s
impeccable bass groove, and inspired by artists like Shuggie Otis, Serge Gainsbourge, and Tom Zé, Sun
Marquee distills lessons learned and questions unanswered into an accessible collection of pop songs.

Alexandre Désilets
Indica
Fancy Ghetto
Beats subversifs, corps en transe, mots qui claquent. Bienvenue dans Fancy Ghetto. Western urbain où
les rues d’une ville en effervescence sont parcourues par des êtres en quête d’amour; le nouvel album
d’Alexandre Désilets nous invite ailleurs. Pop craquante au tempo festif, musique venue des tripes pour faire
vibrer les âmes, Fancy Ghetto est le troisième opus de l’auteur-compositeur-interprète, après Escalader
l’ivresse (2008) et La Garde (2010).
Une incursion dans le monde de la danse et diverses collaborations musicales récentes auront nourri
l’artiste en lui permettant d’exprimer pleinement sa créativité à fleur de peau et de mots. Aussi, Désilets
s’est-il investi corps et coeur dans cet album qu’il a co-réalisé avec François Lafontaine et dont il assume également la direction artistique.
Règlement de compte avec le destin, ce nouvel opus nous entraîne à la croisée des chemins de vies improbables, sexy, défendues, intraitables. Grosse
basse sale, batterie nerveuse, mélodies qui vous hantent, on est happé dans ce nouvel album comme dans un film, et le cœur de Fancy Ghetto bat au
rythme des personnages qui le peuplent. Mais Fancy Ghetto c’est aussi une signature vocale unique développée au fil du temps qui permet à Désilets
de se servir de sa voix comme d’un instrument et de passer avec agilité des mots aux sons.
Avec cet album, Désilets risque en proposant un album courageux, dans lequel l’urgence d’agir, de comprendre, de découvrir et d’aimer se fait sentir
à travers chaque mot.

Words slamming to rebellious rhythms, bodies in a trance inhabiting every corner of a bustlingcity, characters in search of love, action, novelty and
passion: welcome to Fancy Ghetto. Stagedin an alternative western world, the 10-song opus is the third release from Montreal’s singersongwriter
Alexandre Désilets.
A leap into the world of dance and various recent musical collaborations have inspired Alexandre to fully express his words and his skin-deep creativity.
Désilets has invested heart and soul in this album that he co-produced with François Lafontaine (Karkwa, Marie-Pierre Arthur, Forêt etc.)
The heart of the Fancy Ghetto pulses to the beat of its characters and with it, Alexandre Désilets proposes an honest album, in which the urgency to
act, understand, discover and love is felt through every word.

Tom Diabo
Captured Tracks
Dark Star
Tom Diabo was late-70s/early80s punk musician from Wuppertal, Germany. He played in several bands,
most notably Western Force and X 112 For Dancing, and also curated a series of legendary local cassettes
called “Talfahrt”. Diabo passed away from cancer in 1988 shortly after his 30th birthday. He left behind a
cache of home-recorded songs that eventually came out posthumously as an LP called “Dark Star” that
same year.

Black Bear
Last Of The Outlaws
BLACK
BEAR
Railroad Earth’s seventh album is their most evocative and ambitious set to date. At once melancholic and
joyous, often deep, yet always accessible, the album captures the band as they are now; twelve years in, wiser and worn and pondering how this life affects those around them. Every song has a story and every story
has its meaning. Last Of The Outlaws is an album filled with stories of birth, death, heartache, joy, sadness,
redemption, loss of our heroes, and even a lesson or two from old ghosts straight from the hangman’s noose.

John Wizards
Planet Mu
Muizenberg
Fresh from supporting Jagwar Ma on a UK and European tour, the Cape Town band John Wizards drop the
lush ‘Muizenberg’ as a single. Taken from their critically acclaimed and eponymous debut, the track exhudes southern hemisphere sunshine with a warm guitar figure sending a gentle bounce through the track.
Lead singer John delivers a gentle falsetto before the track drops into a scuffy bass coda.

Mode Moderne
Light Organ
Occult Delight
Mode Moderne has been balancing black-nail-polish gloom and indie-pop accessibility since it put out its
debut LP, ‘Ghosts Emerging’, in 2009. That was followed by the group’s first release for Light Organ Records,
the ‘Real Goths / Undiscovered Country’ single, in 2011, and the seven song mini-album ‘Strange Bruises’
last year, earning praise from the likes of Pitchfork and NME. Mode Moderne recorded its new album, ‘Occult
Delight’ with producer Joshua Stevenson (ex Jackie O Motherfucker, Pink Mountain Tops), at Otic Sound in
their hometown, Vancouver. The new LP boasts some of singer Intilé’s most bitingly sardonic lyrics to date.
“The spears are pointed outward rather than inward on this record,” Intilé admits.

Chorus
‘Chorus’ is the new single from Holly Herndon, the inimitable artist and technologist responsible for 2012’s
acclaimed album, Movement. Another evolution in her production technique, Chorus bridges multiple disciplines and spaces to blur the politic between natural and synthetic. Crafted with polyphonic passages from
live vocal takes and re-synthesized instances of her own voice and those foraged and sampled. “Chorus”
continues Herndon’s explorations in vocal processing with a basis in the banging beats.

Sacred Bones
Sanctuary: The Complete Discography
Despite only being active for a few years in the mid-1980s, Vex left a huge legacy in underground circles for
their affecting brand of anarcho punk. Until now, it was almost impossible to find an original copy of their essential Sanctuary record, let alone their scant other recordings. Sanctuary: The Complete Discography collects all of the Vex material that was ever put to tape on one limited-edition LP for the first time ever. Drop the
needle for a lean half hour by what CVLT Nation calls “a very well balanced band that combined the angst
of punk with the ethereal vibe of positive punk.

Sondre Lerche and
Kato Adland - SOUNDTRACK
Mona Records
The Sleepwalker
Sondre Lerche & Kato Ådland wrote and perform the soundtrack to the film, The Sleepwalker, which was
co-written and directed by Lerche’s wife, Mona Fastvold. The film is expected to screen at the Sundance
Film Festival in January 2014. The soundtrack is beautiful and at times haunting. It is mostly instrumental,
but five of the 16 tracks contain vocals, including “You Sure Look Swell” (vocals by Sondre Lerche) and
“Lord I Want to Be a Christian” (vocals by Sylvie Lewis). This album is available on 180 gram vinyl and digital
download only.

FLOWERS
Limited edition repress of Peaking Lights’ seminal album 936 on heavyweight 180g vinyl with exclusive
poster. Peaking Lights are husband wife duo Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis and 936 is their second full length
release. 936 was met with critical acclaim across the board upon its original release in 2011 and was listed
as one of Pitchfork’s most overlooked albums of the year. It is a hauntingly beautiful, intensely immersive
record that merges elements of dub, psych, minimal house, disco and krautrock with a distinct pop sensibility and provides great window into a wonderfully close, creative and prolific songwriting partnership.
