11th of May 2012 Update of New and Key Restocked Items
at Redscroll Records
First, I have to confess that I accidentally filed the new stuff for the week into our full inventory so some of this list is me hurriedly going over invoices to fill in the blanks (excuse any short-hand; I hope it’s decipherable at least). I may also have missed something or another so please ask if you’re curious about a particular release you’re looking for (do this always actually – we encourage it).
We’ve also got a contest for another movie showing at Real Art Ways! And, finally, our friends at Intercambio have a wall of records that we’ve supplied. More on that below as well.
CONTEST!
All right, so quickly, the Punch Brothers documentary
How To Grow A Band is playing at
Real Art Ways through next weekend (started today). If you’d like to see this one for free I have a bunch of passes to give-away and I just need you to email me at
redscroll@gmail.com with the name of the famous banjo picker who recently passed away and has a banjo picking technique named after him. So simple! Free movie!
Redscroll Records in New Haven!
We’ve been talking about
Intercambio a bunch lately and with cause. It’s an exciting new thing in New Haven and they’re working with us on a few levels (and we with them, of course). Now, they have some records from us down there. So, if you’re in New Haven and don’t get up to Wallingford much you can now just stop in there and buy some records from us at that location. Mind you, it’s a small selection and we’ll rotate it from time to time, but if you keep an eye on our updates or peruse our inventory on Discogs and you want something delivered to Intercambio we’ll gladly do that. They’ve just done a lot of work on the space and have it ready for an exhibition of works by Dan Greene called “Knife Thrower” (which you should check out for yourself – sneak peak in the photo below). Intercambio is open during special events of course (some of the time the records may be put away depending on the event).
There will also be regular gallery hours:
Thursday and Friday 1-7PM
Saturday and Sunday 12-5PM
LPs & 12″s

Stone Titan 7″
(Self-Released)
If you love Eyehategod or Buzzoven, then Stone Titan is for you. They’ve got those loose whiskey-soaked blues riffs & heavy-as-hell-slow-as-fuck qualities that will bring out your inner hatred for just about everything. Connecticut really needed this sort of doom rock injection. This two-song 7″ (songs titled: “Planet Melter” & “I Fucking Hate You”) is their first non-cassette release, but it just isn’t enough. I want to hear what these guys do with a full length, which I hear is on its way. The only draw back here is the lack of a lyrics sheet, but I’m sure if you e-mailed Scott, he’d hook you up.

Supreme Dicks Breathing And Not Breathing CD
(Jagjaguwar)
Even though this Amhurst, MA-based band stayed pretty underground, their unique, explorative style of experimental/psych/indie rock was highly influential on bands like Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. (the former of which they’d open for) during their heyday in the early-to-mid 90s. This 4-CD release compiles over 4 hours of music from their discography, which includes their two albums The Unexamined Life and The Emotional Plague (both of which were recently released on their own double-LPs for the first time.) This set also compiles the early recording collection Working Man’s Dick and the released-only-in-Italy This Is Not a Dick E.P., as well as some rare/unreleased tracks. It’s clear to see their influence on 90s art/noise rock, with their sharply tuned guitars, eerily poetic lyrics and overall non-confrontational nature. Even with unconventional elements such as increasing-in-speed-and-complexity guitar work, tracks like “Jack Smith” sound quite cozy, telling an intimate account of a “glowing creature” that “reached across an empire.” The more experimental, meticulously artistic soundscapes in tracks like “Country Of Nuns” and the particularly eerie, spoken-poetry backed “Cows Of Light” help explain where Sonic Youth drew some inspiration from.

Unsane Wreck CD/LP
It’s been over 20 years since this notorious post-hardcore/noise rock trio from NYC released their self-titled debut, complete with an actual photo of a man decapitated after getting run over by a subway train. It’s a perfectly ghastly representation of the sound that Unsane remains true to on their seventh full-length. Like an unforgiving, deeply inner-city landscape, it’s sonically rough, eerily nerve-wracking (the guitar twang in “Ghost” is an excellent example) and filled with concrete-thick bass riffs that feel heavy enough to splatter you if they fell on your head. It’s especially impressive that, even with their attachment to the same basic sound as before, they still sound fresh by mixing the energy and aggression of punk with the brutal, ruminating song structure of metal. One of my favorites is the ominous “No Chance,” which stays very close to Unsane’s traditional “you’re doomed” atmosphere, complete with an unnerving harmonica and lyrics (“you’re too close, but you’re just out of reach / can’t lay down / watch us drown.”) Another easy standout is the closing track: a very well translated cover of Flipper’s “Ha Ha Ha,” lined with many additional creepy “ha’s” throughout to provide an additionally sinister spin.
