Record Store Day & 8th Anniversary Sale Announcement

On April 12th the store turns 8 years old! As usual we’ll be having a week long sale. The sale will run from April 11th to April 17th.

Redscroll-8th-Anniversary

On April 18th it will be Record Store Day and we will once again be participating. We’ll be opening at 8AM and closing at 10PM.  We’ll have a special store set up different from any other time before (more on that later).  All the usual bells and whistles (goodie bags, food trucks). We’ll have a ton of the special releases.

You can view a list of all the releases of the day here: http://www.recordstoreday.com/SpecialReleases

We’ll post a list of what we actually have in the store the night before (on the April 17th Update). We’ve ordered basically everything, but we won’t know what we’ll actually get until it shows up.

Redscroll-8th-Anniversary SQRL Close Up

We’re going big with the 8th Anniversary Sale this year. Big discounts: 30% off all used stock, 50% off clearance items, used CDs for $1 and 15% off new stock.  To be clear, the sale will actually end on the Friday before Record Store Day. We’re starting it earlier than usual and ending it that day for a variety of reasons, but most of all to try and make every day of the week ahead of time a breeze to get in and get those deals.

RSD Dave Grohl 2015

On Record Store Day (April 18th) we will again have the RSD specific line in the back of the store, but instead of it leading to the front of the store it will just be it’s own sort of pop-up shop. The tent will be in the lot. We’ll have a register out there and all the RSD items will be in it. Regular shoppers will still be able to come in through the front door and shop throughout the day as well, but now without the congestion of the RSD specific titles at the front of the store. Long story short: regular record shopping in the store, Record Store Day shopping in the tent!

Latest Redscroll Release = Tape Split by Nothing Israel & The//Moon

NOTHING ISRAEL / THE//MOON 

We have a tape out today. It’s a split by 2 friends that we’re happy to have on board.

Two of Connecticut’s most free spirits separated by a flip of the tape.

Nothing Israel: For fans of time travel and hot sauce.

The//Moon: A soundtrack to walking around at night in a snowstorm. A soundtrack to a sleepless night. A soundtrack to a strange existence. People always tell me I should do soundtracks, but I don’t know about all of that.

Adventures in sound. Non-traditional song structure (read: soundscapes) from two distinct perspectives.

Diverse narrative journeys.

Limited to 40 copies.

Empty Flowers “The Air You Found” LP out June 17, 2014!

It’s ready! It’s out on Tuesday – June 17th, 2014!

Empty Flowers - The Air You Found LP




[International customers please email us for a shipping quote.]

Empty Flowers “The Air Your Found” LP (First 100 Come With Full CD as well.) $12.98
The CD is available in the shop now via Translation Loss records – who by the way were great to work with on this project and we have more in the works which we’re excited about! Right now, we’re especially excited about putting this record out. It’s an exciting release because not only are we working with a band that includes people we respect and consider friends from up and down the East Coast (members are spread across MA, CT, & PA) and not only because they make great music themselves, but also because this record is a bit of a work of collaboration with lots more great artists of high regard. Each track on this album is a reworking of an Empty Flowers track. The stems of each track were given to the artists to use as they might and they did some impeccable work.

Empty Flowers Back Cover

The tracklist:
SIDE A
1. Car Fires (JK Broadrick Remix – Yes! That’s correct, THE Justin K. Broadrick of Godflesh, Jesu and countless other great acts is on this jam!)
2. I Get To Know Its Name (IcoAclass/Deadverse Remix: Of the hip-hop avant-garde act, Dalek)
3. Resonate (Michael Hill Remix; Mr. Hill currently handles vocal and guitar duties for Relapse Records metal band, Tombs)
SIDE B
4. Quit (James Plotkin Remix; Mr. Plotkin has numerous projects including Atomsmasher and Khanate) [Mr. Plotkin also did the mastering on this release.]
5. Fünf (Theologian Remix; We actually have more in store from Leech too! Friend of the shop, Lee has played here with Theologian and previous project, Love is Nothing. Unfortunately the shop started after Navicon Torture Technologies was put to bed.)
6. Call A Priest (Kevin Hufnagel Remix; Mr. Hufnagel might best be known for his work with Dysrhythmia and currently handles lead guitar duties for Gorguts)

Rebecca Mitchell of Whore Paint helped record some of the original work at Machines With Magnets and her voice can be heard on it as well!

Oh and the artist who designed the sleeve is Brian Azer! He’s worked on Sun Kil Moon / Mark Kozelek and Jesu albums! He rules and the art came out awesome! You should probably just buy this for that alone.

Empty Flowers - Front and Back

This will be available in the store on June 17th and is being distributed wide by a few distributors so definitely ask your local shop if they’ve got it or plan on getting it. If you can’t wait then we’ve got a pre-order button for you (above under the big picture of the album cover)! Please message us about international shipping and we can invoice you depending on where in the world you are (redscroll@gmail.com).

7th Anniversary & Record Store Day Sale

So, April is right around the bend and we’re just cresting that hill where all we can see and think about is our 7th Anniversary & Record Store Day Sale! We opened shop on April 12th, 2007 and it’s all been upward mobility since thanks to all of you who have come through our doors (and/or ordered online). We thank all of you for that and we’re not going to stop working hard at giving you all reasons for coming back!

die-die-dieThis announcement right here is for those who will be able to get here and celebrate in person.

We’ve also decided to do a special promotion this year for those who do order online – keep an eye on our social medias for that special closer to our official anniversary (April 12).

Our in-store sale will run from Sunday April 13th, 2014 through Record Store Day April 19th, 2014.

We have added one particular big promotion to this year’s sale: 50% Off Clearance LPs! Woah, that’s half! We are again running with the $1 CD and used LPs (all LPs marked $3 or under will be just $1 for that week). 15% off everything else.

Record-Store-DayFor Record Store Day (Saturday, April 19th) we’ll have the added incentives of the RSD exclusive titles (more information on those will follow in coming weeks of course).  We open at 9AM that day and close at 10PM. The tent will be set up out back full of 7″s and will serve as the entrance for that day. We will have goodie bags for the first liner-uppers (how many is dependent on how much swag we acquire / are sent). We expect a lot of people once again so if you are determined to get something in particular from the exclusives please plan on being here super early. Those of us who work here get here at the crack of daylight and there has generally been a full line by the time we get here which only grows until we open the doors and can last for much of the day. We expect a nice friendly group again and to show our appreciation for that we’ve once again invited the Hardcore Sweets Cupcake Truck & G-Monkey Mobile out to keep y’all fed.

We’ll do our best to keep you up to date with any details that may arise leading up to the events. For now, you should probably just get excited and continuously refresh this page and all our social network sites in anticipation.
