    Thee Alcoholics

    Bear Bites Horse Sessions

      Crankers of amp, torturers of fuzzbox and denizens of small-hours salvation, Thee Alcoholics dished out a rancorous and righteous debut in their decent ‘Feedback’ – one that filtered gnarled riffage and motorik malevolence through a uniquely debauched prism in pursuit of some extremely ill-advised audial dystopia.

      Thee Alcoholics may have started life as the home-birthed brainchild of Rhys Llewellyn (Hey Colossus/Acidliner/Drmcnt) yet an evolution since has proven the ultimate form of this beastly creation to be the live arena. In assembling cohorts to turn these visceral jams into something to shake rafters and rattle pint-glasses, new frontiers of ornery intensity have made themselves manifest, and such is the form of the monstrous Bear Bites Horse Sessions, a live-in-the-studio document recorded with Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse studio in Haggerston, London, chronicling a band breathing life into a Stoogian paradigm, and doing so apparently whilst barely breaking a sweat.

      Taking essential elixirs of in-the-red mania, hypnotic repetition and deathless swagger, these twelve jams walk a crooked path that neighbours the nihilistic vortex of Loop, the saturnine lurch of The Fall and the deadpan derangement of The Heads but remains possessed of a maverick charisma and mischief all its own. Lovers of lysergic heaviosity and the sound of a Marshall 4x12 violently spluttering its last will find much to satisfy here, but moreover Bear Bites Horse Sessions is a testimony to sonic punishment as a gateway to new horizons, audial excess as a path to wisdom, and answers, right or wrong, being found in the bottom of a glass.

      Elvis Costello

      King Of America & Other Realms

        Exapnded edition of Elvis Costello's 1986 album 'King Of America'.

        Across the 6CD editon, Elvis Costello: 'King of America & Other Realms' explores the career defining 1986 album produced by T-Bone Burnett: from the solo demo versions of songs that appear on 'King of America' to the mélange of Memphis to New Orleans inspired recordings and collaborations over the last 4 decades.

        The journey across the music is guided by Costello’s newly self-penned 35-page essay and numerous rare and never-before seen photos. The collection is anchored by CD1, a new 2024 remaster of the album from the original master tapes. CD2 collects the solo demos recorded in 1985 & now includes 6 never heard before Red Bus Session recordings. CD3 is a never heard, mixed from the multitrack tapes, 17-song concert recorded in London, UK on January 27, 1987. Hear Elvis in concert backed by James Burton, Jim Keltner, Jerry Scheff, Belmont Tench & T-Bone Wolk. The set closes with 3 compilation CDs that digest Costello’s studio recordings, previously unreleased demos, outtakes & live recordings.

        The 2CD set includes the new 2024 remaster of the album 'King Of America' from the original master tapes, with CD2 being a collection of songs featuring studio recordings, previously unreleased demos, outtakes & live recordings from this wild and wonderfully odd odyssey.

        The LP version is just the 2024 remaster.

        Marcus Drake

        Save Point 1

          After years of preparation, Marcus Drake emerges from the basement networks of the resistance underground to claim the first save point along his quest ahead. Welcome to Save Point 1, a universe where popular forms of the past collide at warp speed with Marcus’s mutant inspirations to produce sounds and genres hitherto unknown. Save Point 1 is a visionary and singular Debut work of Avant Rock & Pop Alchemy, blown apart and reassembled under the laws of Quantum Musical Mechanics.

          Written, Produced & Performed by Marcus Drake, the album eludes classification, but sounds like a sci-fi fusion of musical DNA from Nine Inch Nails, Prefab Sprout, Nobuo Uematsu (the Final Fantasy video game composer), Animal Collective, Prince, Mr. Bungle, Liars, The Mars Volta, and Lil Ugly Mane. The album marks the first release under Drake’s own name, and the latest since his 2017 release as Anthony Fremont’s Garden Solutions—his idiosyncratic side- project with Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos, Options’ Seth Engel, and NNAMDÏ. He has also since scored for film and video, including the Adult Swim short Thoron the Conqueror.

          Save Point 1 isn’t just a new beginning, but a reintroduction to Marcus Drake the artist and composer. Drake experimented with new techniques and approaches for many years while recording Save Point 1, a process that transformed his sound, voice, and artistic identity. The resulting oeuvre is giddy and dreamy, an Olympic-height diving board from which to descend through indie rock and videogame soundtracks, thrilling math-rock riffs that turn experimental, and synths that glow in rainbow hues. Just turn to the glitchpop of “Heaven’s in the Rot” or the slow-motion acoustic glitter that is “Dragon It Out” to hear it in motion. And note the two-part “Haunted” suite that funnels his unpredictable experimentation into darker, weirder directions.

            Harvestman

            Triptych: Part Three

              Woven together from home studio recordings that span two decades, and with some notable guest appearances including; The Bug, Douglas Leal of Deafkids, Wayne Adams of Petbrick, Dave French of Yob and Sanford Parker, this final part of the Harvestman Triptych seeks once again for a lost world, with the voice of poet Ezra Pound extolling the virtues of "gather[ing] from the air a live tradition". 

              At its heart, music has always been a questioning of inheritance – a dialogue with predecessors and forebears, the forging of one’s own perspective in relation to what has come before, and for some, a plunge into the boundless realms between. For Steve Von Till, that process has always taken on an added dimension to become the most sacred of tasks. Whether through the apocalyptic uprising of Neurosis, the sonic deconstructions of their sister project, Tribes of Neurot, the invocatory intimacy of his eponymous solo albums or his instrumental psychedelic reveries in the guise of Harvestman, that dialogue has never just been with musical influences, but with what underpins them: the primordial, elemental forces now banished to the peripheries of our contemporary consciousness, yet still broadcasting a signal for all who will listen.

              Drawn to the megaliths, ruins and ancient sites mapped out along the British and European mainland’s geographical and psychic landscapes, the folklore and apocrypha forever resurfacing as portals from a rational world, Triptych is a meditation forged from traces and residues, and an hallucinatory recollection of artists who have tapped into that enduring otherworldliness embedded within us all. It’s a dream diary narrating a passage through Summer Isle where Flying Saucer Attack are wafting out of a window, a distant Fairport Convention are being remixed by dub master Adrian Sherwood, celestial scanners Tangerine Dream are trying to drown out Bert Jansch and Hawkwind are playing Steeleye Span covers, all prised out of time yet bound to its singularity.

              "Herne's Oak" provides seismic bass waves that physically halt the track in its steps - giant footfalls as Herne's antlers themselves are dragged along a corridor. Another curious and mysterious piece of British folklore brought to life by Harvestman.

              If Triptych is a multi- and extra-sensory experience, it extends to the remarkable glyph-style artwork of Henry Hablak, a map of correspondences from a long-forgotten ancient and advanced civilization. As with Triptych itself, it’s an echo from another time, an act of binding, a guide to be endlessly reinterpreted, and a signpost to the sacred that might not indicate where to look, but how.

              Cover art is by Henry Hablak, who also designed the art for Part One and Part Two.

              J Spaceman & John Coxon

              Music For William Eggleston's Stranded In Canton

                In 2015, Spaceman, Coxon, and friends performed a new original score live at a special film screening at the Barbican Gallery in London. The recording sat on a shelf for 10 years, and will finally be unveiled through this release.. Stranded in Canton is a black-and-white film portrait of Memphis in 1974, shot in bars and on street corners, showing Eggleston’s friends carousing, playing music and firing pistols into the night sky. It is raw, greasy, Quaalude-y and hot. Jagged and intimate, the film is a handheld window into a different world; “Hogarth on Beale Street” as writer Richard Williams describes it in the album’s liner notes. The tones Spaceman and Coxon came up with mirror the ragged nature of the film perfectly. Riffs written under flickering light bulbs, hypnotic tremolo, boozy romances, some barroom boogie, the blues, and hoping the bottle won’t let you down tonight. The characters of Stranded in Canton dance around the music, living their best Memphis lives by any means necessary.

                  Pipe-eye

                  Pipe-defy

                    For the first time since 2021, Pipe-eye, the moniker for Australian musician, singer and songwriter Cook Craig, is set to release a brand new LP. Titled Pipe-defy, the album is slated for release on October 18th, with the lead single, "Lords Of Lithium," giving a first taste of what's to come.

                    With nods to the venerable influences of funk and 70s/80s synth dance classics, Pipe-defy is a stylistic departure from his previous albums. For this project, Craig explains wearing his influences on his sleeve; “At around the time that I was starting to write songs for the album, my mum gave me a bunch of old CDs from my early teens that I hadn’t listened to in ages. There was heaps of Grandmaster Flash, Herbie Hancock, Zapp, Stevie Wonder and other stuff like that. When I kept writing songs they kinda just started sounding like that… so I guess it kinda just kick started an old obsession I had for that style of music.” This is particularly evident as each track beckons listeners to lose themselves in a tapestry of mesmeric synth rhythms, sobering orchestra hits and foot tapping, knee slapping, hand clapping groove.

                    Pipe-defy stands as a testament to Craig’s resolve to explore new aesthetics with each new release, furthering his quest to push himself to into new song-writing terrain. "When I was writing the songs for the album, (which I had about 20 of), if I wasn’t bopping my head subconsciously to it, then it was cut."

                    Artist Bio
                    Enter the audacious realm of Pipe-eye’s fifth opus Pipe-defy, where sonic frontiers are boldly charted amidst a symphony of infectious rhythm and unparalleled harmony, filtered through precise synthesis and considered instrumentation. This groove based gem JAMS.
                    Known for his tenure in both King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and The Murlocs, Cook Craig’s four previous solo albums under the guise Pipe-eye have played a prevalent part in his development and growth as a songwriter, musician and composer. Craig’s latest release Pipe-defy incessantly edges towards something more advanced and poignant than ever before, whilst retaining Craig’s authentic songwriting style and appreciation for the quirky, macabre and melancholic.
                    Notable on the album is a lack of guitar, as the album is mostly comprised of keyboards and synthesizers, with exception to bass guitar of course; “I could never not have a bass on a song, as it’s my first instrument, I feel like I’ll often begin writing songs on a bass and then build off that.”
                    The focus on a powerful bassline and keys based compositions is intensely evident in tracks such as "Catch Me On A Break", "Snake On A Sand Dune" and "The Taste" which envelope the listener in pulsating hi-fi stereo; “another heavy hitter on the record is my Roland Juno which I couldn’t have done without to get that smanky snappy sound”.
                    Pipe-defy stands as a testament to Craig’s resolve to explore new aesthetics with each new release, furthering his quest to push himself to into new song-writing terrain. "When I was writing the songs for the album, (which I had about 20 of), if I wasn’t bopping my head subconsciously to it, then it was cut." Despite this however, there are a handful of tracks which delve into something considerably more sentimental;

                    “Not all the songs are funky and kooky” says Craig, “there was definitely a couple numbers that I wanted to be a bit more ‘ballady’ like "Lords of Lithium" or "Don’t Fade Away"… I wanted them to be more affectionate and break up the flow of the ‘whacky’.”

                    Written and recorded between life on the road touring and returning home to the quiet life in Melbourne, Pipe-defy lyrically mirrors this sense of place, touching on themes of profound nostalgia and the vulnerability that comes from being split between two seperate lifestyles. “It’s bizarre tossing between being at home and being on the road, people might think it’s glamorous which it kind of is, but there’s also the reality of being not quite at home in either place, whether it’s here or there” says Craig. “I guess as I was writing the lyrics this was an intense focal point of what I was feeling at the time and I think in a song like "I’m Coming Back", this is most evident.”

                    Drawing from like minded musicians and fellow bandmates in parallel projects, Craig lends himself the collaborative dynamism of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, with fellow band members Joe Walker (mixing, production) and Micheal Cavanagh (drums) contributing to the album.
                    Another notable difference from previous Pipe-eye albums is the production style; “I intentionally wanted to go for a much more ‘hi-fi’ sound for this album, which Joey nailed. It was definitely a departure from previous Pip-eye sh*t which was always on the ‘lo-fi’ side”.
                    Prepare to embark on a symphonic adventure unparalleled, with Cook Craig’s Pipe-defy. Unfettered by previous projects, Pipe-defy takes any preconceptions the listener might have had about what a Pipe-eye album sounds like and smashes it over the head of the auditor in a sonic affront from the first note of the record.

                      This 1986 album by The Primates remain as the only recording ever released by these four 60s r&b and garage fans. Originally published on Greg Shaw’s very own Voxx (Bomp! sublabel focused on revival garage/psychedelia) and produced by Shaw himself, this valuable musical document that portraits the essence of the L.A. 80s garage scene, has been out of print for more than 20 years!

                      Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the release of one of Japan's most coveted albums of the 70s, "Mangekyou" by singer-songwriter Yoshiko Sai. Produced in 1975 by Master musician Yuji Ohno, the album features Yoshiko Sai's superbly crafted songs and crystal clear voice over Ohno's lush, funky sound and breezy arrangements. A strong buzz has been growing around the album over the years and original copies now change hands for large sums of money. This is the first time "Mangekyou" is available outside of Japan, featuring remastered audio, original artwork and a 4 page insert including new liner notes by Paul Bowler.

                      Sevil & Ayla

                      Bebek / Irgat

                        Zel Zele is extremely proud to present the first-ever reissue of a cult classic from 1974, written, produced, and arranged by Anatolian rock pioneer Barış Manço, backed by his legendary Kurtalan Ekspres band. Sevil & Ayla’s Bebek / Irgat is a highly sought-after Turkish folk and psychedelic single, sung by Yeşilçam stars Sevil & Ayla during the golden era of Anatolian Rock music.

                        A-side Bebek hardly needs an introduction, being a rare gem among crate diggers and beat enthusiasts. The track’s strings and bass are a nod to the iconic groove of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love, creating instant recognition. Sevil and Ayla’s haunting vocals add a moody twist, narrating the tragic tale of a crazed mother over losing her baby to an eagle. On the B-side, Irgat is an underrated rider’s groove with an incredible break and keyboard solo, perfect for keeping the dance floor swinging.

                        Roger Waters

                        The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux - 2024 Repress

                          Waters says ‘when we recorded the stripped down songs for the Lockdown Sessions, the 50th anniversary of the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon was looming on the horizon. It occurred to to me that The Dark Side Of The Moon could well be a suitable candidate for a similar re-working, partly as a tribute to the original work, but also to re-address the political and emotional message of the whole album. I discussed it with Gus and Sean, and when we’d stopped giggling and shouting ‘You must be ****ing mad’ at one another we decided to take it on. It’s turned out really great and I’m excited for everyone to hear it. It’s not a replacement for the original which, obviously, is irreplaceable. But it is a way for the seventy nine year old man to look back across the intervening fifty years into the eyes of the twenty nine year old and say, to quote a poem of mine about my Father, “We did our best, we kept his trust, our Dad would have been proud of us”. And also it is a way for me to honor a recording that Nick and Rick and Dave and I have every right to be very proud of.’

                          As founding member, lyricist, and principal composer of Pink Floyd during the band’s most influential and creative period, Roger Waters has achieved global success and global renown.

                          Waters co-founded Pink Floyd in the mid-1960s. Under Waters’ guidance, Pink Floyd made a series of best-selling albums during the 1970s, of which the most successful and iconic were The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. Roger Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 and is now one of the most successful solo artists in the world.
