6th Of April 2012 Update of New and Key Restocked Items
at Redscroll Records

We will be CLOSED on EASTER SUNDAY. Please enjoy the day as suggested in this quick blog entry earlier today.

Quick note about the upcoming Record Store Day (4/21/12) – we’ll be opening early (at 9AM this year) and we’ll have the full list posted the day before (if I can possibly do it earlier I will, but things probably won’t show up until the last minute).  Some releases have already been delayed and a few have been cancelled – that information can be found on the Record Store Day website. We’ll have more announcements and information posted here and through Twitter. Of course, it’s business as usual otherwise and we’re working as hard as ever to keep up and to keep you informed of what we have going on and what’s coming in. On to the update… right after this commercial interruption:

Carter Tutti Void Transverse CD/LP

(Mute)(Buy Online From RSR)
This is a live album without live album trappings (no crowd noise, etc. – taken straight from the sound mix essentially). It’s got the Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti pair (of Throbbing Gristle and their own dealings) and Nik Void (Factory Floor). I was not at the Short Circuit Festival where this was recorded, but I imagine it was even more hypnotic and mesmerizing there and I long to play this at very high volumes so I can try to mock that experience as best I can. The whole thing flows seemlessly and when it ends it feels abrupt (though it is not) to be pushed back into the waking world (or maybe just stare at the cover until you press play again).

Neptune msg rcvd CD/LP

(Northern Spy)(Buy Online From RSR)
It’s fascinating how musicians can exemplify their sound through the construction of their instruments: for example, classical performers lean toward exquisite designs. Boston’s Neptune represents noise rock’s jagged, rough elements excellently with instruments literally constructed from scrap metal (for example, not many music stores sell amplified gas cans or metal buckets.) The result is a very unconventional, dramatic vocal-laced sound right the beginning with the endlessly piercing build-up of “Luminous Skull.” It’s followed by the cold, nightmarish “Dark Report,” which is loaded with sharp guitars reminiscent of no wave and abrupt blasts of radio static. Another highlight is the eerily atmospheric “Negative Reversal,” complete with the same brand of bizarre poetry found in the earlier tracks (“let’s lift the curtain up / see how he operates / he’s made of medicine / an anesthetic.”) The most “accessible” track would be “Rpr,” with more traditional-sounding noise-rock patterns that wouldn’t sound out of place alongside acts like Sonic Youth and Boredoms. For the most part, though, it’s a very avant-garde journey for those who love challenging music.
[Reviewer: Mark]

Yamantaka // Sonic Titan YT//ST CD/LP

(Psychic Handshake)(Buy Online From RSR)
To put it in the most basic terms, this record comes from an experimental Montreal collective that includes members of Japanese-Scottish (Ruby Kato Attwood) and Chinese-Irish (Alaska B) descent. Their culture-mixing origins translate to their self-categorized “noh-wave” sound (that’s no typo – it refers to Japan’s Noh theater.) They manage to fuse elements from an impressive list of both Eastern and Western genres, including progressive rock, metal, psychedelia, noise, folk, opera and even pop. I was weary about seeing such a broad list, but I was very impressed with how they managed to pull it off in a truly one-of-a-kind rock opera.  I’d love to see the whole thing put to visuals, because it really does sound like an interesting epic. “Reverse Crystal // Murder of a Spider” is an easy choice of a favorite with its fuzzed-out guitar-fueled sound perfect for ascending a mountain. Another standout is “A Star Over Pureland,” which features red-hot Lightning Bolt-comparable shredding. It’s not all about heaviness, though: “Oak of Guernica” relies on gorgeous, mystical dream-pop ambience and “Hoshi Neko” utilizes passionate Japanese vocals, a driving beat and a hypnotic synth hook that all build to a shimmering climax before fading into a cloud of sound.

The Drift Blue Hour CD/LP

(Temporary Residence Ltd.) (Buy Online From RSR)
On their third widely available full-length, this San Franciscan instrumental post-rock band explores nearly an hour of fascinating emotive atmospheres. This record comes after the loss of bandmate Jeff Jacobs to cancer – he was responsible for horns and electronics, but the others chose not to replace him. Understandably, a somber ambience can be detected throughout: it’s comparable to watching the morning sun faintly glowing through a layer of fog. There’s nothing too complex or technical here. Rather, from the ambitious, moody opener “Dark Passage” to the gorgeous, refreshing closer “Fountain,” there are plenty of repeated, contemplative textures with traditional rock instrumentation. One of the biggest standouts is the beautifully played “Luminous Friend,” with rich guitars and a shimmering keyboard creating a very hypnotic, easy-to-get-lost-in sound.

Beverly Fre$h Bed LP

 (SuperiorBelly) (Buy Online From RSR)

An emcee, artist, and holder of several Guinness World Records including breaking the most eggs on his head, is there anything Beverly Fre$h can’t do? (Besides act normal.) Beverly Fre$h doesn’t live in the world of the ordinary. His album reflects his bizarre behavior by blending hardcore rap, raw humor, strange screams, and a cappella chants. BED is the debut album by Detroit based Beverly Fre$h. Taking hip-hop back to its roots, yet being completely unique, Beverly Fre$h proves that he has a place in the rap game. Songs about heavy drug use, sex, violence, and insanity, BED is very entertaining to say the least. Songs ‘Dead Millionaire’, ‘Animal Skin’, and ‘Half a Haircut’ are especially worth checking out. This album is a vinyl only release, one in the series from sUPERIORbelly Record’s artists. If you’re looking for a fresh sound within the world of hip-hop, pick up the talented Beverly Fre$h’s album.

Legowelt The Teac Life Free Download/4LP

(Legowelt001) (Buy Online From RSR)
Last year Legowelt let this album out for free. It was honestly one of the best releases of last year, but it couldn’t make it on my list because of my rule about having to actually be a physical release. Well, now it does have a physical release and it’s a full 4 LP release and there is nothing deluxe about the packaging – it’s real nice and minimal (4 LPs in a sleeve with a picture glued on it). It’s not cheap (about 60 bux – imported and all), but I swear it’s worth it. Hell, you probably already knew if you wanted this or not (and if you don’t know yet you can go download the whole thing and then decide). If you’re new to Legowelt he’s a dude who makes elektro muzik (house, techno, etc.) and you should probably check out “Reports From The Backseat Pimp” before you go any further. That one is my island jam (if I could pick one album for the rest of my life…).

2. Follow us on Tumblr where we’re going to be posting the more fun side of things (we aren’t going to just cross post – there will be no stock updates there, for instance). Each part of the internet for each purpose is what I always say (that’s actually the first time I’ve ever formed that sentence).

Citizens Arrest Soaked In Others Blood 7″
(Painkiller / Coextinction)
Painkiller is always churning out the hardcore bangers. This time, they’ve brought us a physical release of last year’s 4-song digital only, “Soaked In Others Blood” by Citizens Arrest. These are the first new songs by this band in 21 years. Surprisingly, these songs hold up really well next to the band’s earlier songs; more along the lines of  the short and sweet “Death Threat” then the epic, “Burst Of Silence”. For those unfamiliar, CA was a hardcore band from New York in the late eighties & early nineties (ABC NO RIO scene). Raw, fast hardcore punk with fun circle pit parts and a deep Cookie Monster vocal delivery. FFO: Negative FX, Dropdead, & Youth Of Today. Features Ted Leo on guitar and the vocalist from Disma.

Estrogen Highs Irrelevant Future LP
(Trouble In Mind)
It’s hard to objectively review any band you already know you like. I’m not going to be objective here. This is my favorite record by E. Highs at the moment because it is the latest one. The supplemental/transitional instrumentation (Kryssi/Colorguard) is particularly great and interesting in “The World Is Flat” probably because it’s something different to me than the past records. Rock and roll. You like the good old standards like Wire and The Wipers and other bands that don’t start with a “W” then you should finally give these dudes a chance. If you have and you don’t love them already then give this one a listen. Bam. Not objective.

Ivy League 2009-2011 CD

(6131 Records)
This release compiles several 7-inches from this Midland, Texas-based melodic hardcore band. It’s no surprise that their high-energy, emotion-soaked songs (in the same vein as a band like Title Fight) are popular with both hardcore and pop-punk kids. Even though I’m not typically drawn to music leaning toward “emo,” I’m impressed by how good they sound. The lead vocalist’s mournful crooning sounds sincere when touching on themes of self-deprecation due to life’s struggles, particularly relationships gone wrong. The music serves as a fast-paced and catchy means of coping with the downtrodden lyrics. The last three tracks are acoustic: they provide the most down-to-earth, intimate emotional expressions.
[Reviewer: Mark]
[Note: We have one Ivy League 7″ in stock currently. This CD will be coming. Keep an eye on the updates.]
Monarch! Omens CD
(At A Loss Recordings)
Originally formed in France, this band consists of prophets of doom (metal) who drag the listener across an ominous landscape of sludge-drone. This is Monarch!’s sixth full-length since the first one in 2005. It’s easy to compare their harsh, slow sound to something like Sunn O))), but I felt it was more along the lines of Khanate or Moss (the latter band did a split single with them in 2007.) “Blood Seeress” sets the mood with acrid, ultra-drawn-out electric strings, punctuated drums and tortured screams synonymous with doom, eventually fading into an eerie dirge that sounds like a choir of long-gone souls. It flows right into the shortest track “Transylvanian Incantations,” which is wrapped in an unsettling, luminous layer of dark electronic ambience, along with some brief moments of a ghostly, distant voice that makes this track even more haunting than the previous one. The album concludes with the 19-minute “Black Becomes the Sun” – it starts out harsh, but soon sounds hopeful with an angelic voice radiating the scorched landscape. Before long, though, the pitch-black clouds return, complete with ethereal, otherworldly shrieks soaring above.
[Reviewer: Mark]
Ed Schrader’s Music Beat Jazz Mind CD/LP
(Load Records.)
Jazz Mind is the new EP from Ed Schrader and Devlin Rice. With war-like chants, minimalist beats and heavy bass lines, Jazz Mind is positively tough. Ed Schrader beats away at a floor tom whilst his vocals echo through empty spaces accompanied by dark bass. There is an aggressive and sometimes grave overtone, but much of the lyrical content is filled with dark humor. Songs that are especially good are ‘Sermon’, ‘Right’, ‘Rats’, and ‘Airshow’. Jazz Mind is definitely worth picking up.
[Reviewer: Kyle]
[Note: This is another one to keep your eye on the update for. Not currently in stock, but soon.]

Bringers of Disease Gospel of Pestilence CD

 
(Translation Loss / Waylon Recordings)
The members of this Dayton, Ohio metal quintet came together from varying backgrounds, including Mouth of the Architect’s post-metal and Acheron’s straightforward death/black/thrash metal. The latter style is the primary influence audible on this EP. They deliver what one should expect from the genres: screamed vocals, aggressive blast-beats, chords with tremolo picking, and an unmistakable sense of despair throughout. “Doomed To Flames” kicks right into action with high-speed rage, followed by the even more-downtrodden “Your Prayers Remain Unheard;” it starts with a slower, doom-influenced sound, before launching back into intervals with speed ranging from medium to blisteringly fast. “Our Final Reward In Hell” strikes a good balance between the white-hot aggression of the opening track and the more-subdued parts of the second, managing to pull off the record’s most memorable hooks. Closing track “A Plague To End All Plagues” is the longest, trudging through one final wasteland of doom, with an abrupt and brief return to speed halfway through.

Cut Hands Afro Noise 1 Volume 1 LP

(A Dirter Release)
Cut Hands is William Bennett’s (Whitehouse) self described and album titled afro noise project. Volume 1 and Volume 2 are being released currently (we should have vol. 2 shortly) and they are collections of this projects work to this point. Truthfully, it’s not all that noisey considering his past works. It’s welcome. It’s jungle sci-fi soundtrack-type music. Polyrhythms and stabs of dissonance definitely make it more noisey than Fela Kuti for instance and these are not pieces meant for easy digestion by someone looking for afro-funk.  There is no funk here. There is however a mean beat with some meaner instrumentation (non-instrumentation). Foetus might come to mind without the whimsy and plus more afrocentric bases. So, while you won’t find this as the soundtrack to the Venture Brothers (I don’t think it’s a good fit like Foetus is) you might soon find it in an early-John-Carpenter-like jungle sci-fi action adventure movie. Let that movie play in your head.

Collections of Colonies of Bees Giving CD/LP
(Hometapes)
This Wisconsin post-rock band is known for collaborating with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver to form Volcano Choir. Here, right from the opening track “Lawn,” CCB sound like they’re roaming freely on endless verdant meadows beneath a blue sky as far as the eye can see. Like Battles and Explosions in the Sky, they utilize their experimental style to explore gorgeous sound plateaus and, on this record, create a feel-good vibe instead of trying to sound overly “challenging.” The energetic drumrolls and sunshine-tinged guitar really help stimulate the atmosphere, creating an uplifting world that’s just fun to get lost in. It all culminates with the sunset-ready 9-minute finale “Vorms,” which includes plenty of cymbal-crashes, mood-evoking orchestral electronics, and an enthusiastic, twinkling piano-line.
[Reviewer: Mark]

Warsaw (Joy Division) Reaction LP
(A Rockville Production)
Before Joy Division was “Joy Division”, they were known for about 18 months as, “Warsaw”. They only played a handful of shows and recorded a five song demo before officially changing their name to avoid being confused with Warsaw Pakt. “Reaction” is an unofficial compilation, tracks one through eight were recorded live off the soundboard at Rock Garden (Middlesbrough U.K 14.9.1977), while tracks nine through thirteen were recorded at a rehearsal (Moss Road 1977). These recordings definitely capture a heavier, harder, and slower version of these guys then what’s displayed only a few months later on, “An Ideal For Living”. Ian Curtis is screaming, growling and not singing. The sound quality is very good and despite the colorfully violent review of the live gig provided on the back jacket, there is little crowd rowdiness present here in this recording. 
[Reviewer: Josh]

Salva Yellobone 12″
(Tall Corn Music)
This is where I’m at right now. Long playing singles with solid tracks. This is some serious electronic funk for the 2010s (as opposed to what I might think of from the 80s anytime the words electronic and funk are used together). It’s got the purple vibe that Joker coined with the second song of the A side having some nice Zapp sounding vocoder sounds (taking it back to the 70s to move forward from the 80s apparently – at least according to how I’m reviewing this).  The B side starts off nice and sweet with a track that gets some nice mixes of bass sounds intertwined with some house style vocal samplings. And it finishes with remixes by Shlohmo and the LOL Boys which are both worthy of club play (the hippest of clubs; no sarcasm implied).
[Reviewer: Rick]

Sina. (With Kelpe Gards From KC And Soosh)
 From Love To Dust 12″
(Project: Mooncircle)
Glitch-hop, trip-hop, and whatever other words you want to use for down tempo syncopation jams fit this (one could not deny the witchy aesthetic of the 12″ sleeve). The A side is three different tracks including the title track and the B side is three versions of the title track. It’s got some house-like qualities (clean production), but never enters into the uptempo 4/4 realm. Sweet estrogen filled vocal lines meander in and out of tracks (Creep perhaps comes to mind, but with less focus on the vocalist and more on just being chill). Wild woods environmental sounds (wood blocks, birds chirping, general ambience) hover just beneath the surface as well.  The A side finishes with a funk laden subdued Outkast sounding joint with a nice sugary synth line. The remixes are far enough away from the original and each other to keep it worth a listen through (rather than one at a time as if often meant with 12″ singles).
[Reviewer: Rick]
