Redscroll & Friends Favorites of 2024

We have our (Rick & Josh’s) favorites of the year as usual. We have the Redscroll employee favorites also as usual. We’ve expanded beyond that even! Favorites from some folks in bands on our record label and folks we closely associate and collaborate on the regular! Friends! Most of those folks have recorded their own list and introduced themselves plus there’s a few that have submitted a list that we’ve creatively included. You can go on the web post to peruse their lists (redscroll records dot com) as well. They’ve all but a couple (yet) been on the podcast too so we’ll include their respective episode links on the site as well.

Happy New Year!

Redscroll Records Label Releases for 2024

We generally feel too close to them ourselves (Josh & Rick) to include the Redscroll releases as favorites, but of course they are. We wouldn’t release them otherwise! So, firstly, here’s a quick round up of what we’ve released this past year (and it’s been a good amount of great stuff)!

In chronological order:
February 2^nd: Intercourse “Egyptian Democracy / Bum Wine” 12”
February 2^nd: Doom Beach / Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop (split) 12”
March 1^st: Tongue Depressor & Austin Larkin “Landau Bar” LP
April 5^th: The Knife Kickers “Nameless” LP
April 8^th: Dirt Devil “Desert Moon” CS (SOLD OUT)
June 18^th: Intercourse “Bag Fumblers Incorporated 2021-2024” CD
July 5^th: Trance Macabre “Trance Macabre” LP
August 2^nd: Dissolve “Burnt” CS/LP
October 29^th / December 6^th: Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean “Sisyphean Cruelty” CD/CS/LP

We’ve got a couple slated for next year already so we’re not slowing down! Stay tuned for announcements on those!

A couple more we were associate with with exclusive colors this year too!

Kidnapped “Disgust” (DAZE) – would absolutely work with again, Lumpy is great. Kidnapped is great.

Craven Faults “Bounds” (Leaf) Electronic experimental ambient act out of the Yorkshire, UK. We were contacted by Leaf about splitting a color (Lime Kiln Grey) with Norman Records in the UK and to have a unique OBI strip and it came out great. The record is really a great record and we’re happy to be associated with it and it’s our first overseas collaboration of any kind so that’s pretty exciting and we’re absolutely chuffed with how it turned out.

FAVORITES LISTS!

We’ve got our lists first. Staff picks follow. Then the rest will be in no particular order other than I will try to mix it up in the edit and put different ends of the spectrum back to back to keep y’all on your toes and hopefully interested in it all! Like I said before you’ll be able to check them all out on our web post. Links, pictures, etc. up on the site. I’ll assemble a playlist as well to publish with this so you can check all these things in more depth in your own time. That link will be on the web post as well.

Whoops… mostly music!

Here it is – the end of the year favorites podcast including lists by each staff member here at Redscroll! The podcast has a clip from each album.  It’s a fun listen!  

[Lists are alphabetical – no particular order otherwise. Some of Josh’s and Rick’s lists got tacked on at the end with fun text to voice notes.]

First off,  these are things we loved enough to release and Josh and I (Rick) didn’t include in our own favorites list because it is basically a given.
