THREE LOBED RECORDINGS

Object Hours

Solved By Walking

    Leather-jacket krautrock? Indeed. Welcome to the world of Carrboro NC's Object Hours. These generous saviors consist of three Triangle scene lifers who all worship the riff but imagine what happens if the riff fell into the middle of your favorite CAN LP. Yes, it lives up to the hype. 'Solved By Walking' was recorded in the winter of 2025 at Betty's in the Chapel Hill woods, these are mighty rock slabs ready for all seasons. Rock believers have felt the ripples and knew the day was coming. Object Hours is a band that fits right in on stage alongside acts as varied as Kim Gordon and Tropical Fuck Storm, bringing the house down in these and similar moments. These are songs that groove, peel paint, sandblast, inspire unconscious movement, make your head bob - frequently all at the same time. These are the jams inspired by the time that you heard 'Fun House' coming out of that dude's car with the windows down in the middle of the summer, the ones inspired by the kids who own 3 copies of 'Daydream Nation', the ones who listen to the last 1:30 of Wire's 'Too Late' over and over. This is the band that has a timer on stage so they don't keep each song playing for days on end, the band whose Bandcamp bio succinctly summarizes their approach thusly: "We try to keep songs under 25 minutes for your sake." Every word here should be inspiration for you to *want* and *need* to hear this record and every word here is true. Just you wait. Real heads know and the rest of the heads are getting ready to find out. Get ready for Object Hours' 'Solved By Walking'.

    June Of 44

    Live In Tokyo

      The first live LP from the legendary June of 44, dating back to their first "reunion" tour. Recorded live at a 2023 Tokyo date, the set covers their expanded catalog and hits all periods of the band's studio work. A delightful recording housed in a luxe and gorgeous letterpress jacket (assembled and printed by Jeff Mueller of the band - keeping it close!), this is a delightful addition to the collection of the fans of June of 44 (and Rodan, Shipping News, Saint, etc.) that folks figured would never happen. Always fun with that sort of stuff happens, right?

      Steve Gunn

      Music For Writers

        Steve Gunn’s compositions, from either his instrumental or vocal-accompanied work, have always been studies in tension. 'Music for Writers', the first Gunn album under only his name since 2021, takes those studies to a new level. It is an instrumental album based around guitar, synths and more, it leads the listener to tightly and deeply focus on minute changes and variations in style. It is a masterpiece in fragile, small-scale world-building that occupies a unique space within Gunn's wider discography. Composed and recorded during Gunn’s time at the Pedvale Art Residency in Latvia, the tracks result from Gunn pairing new audio to the experiences in the area surrounding the compound and photography he took while on the grounds. The results range from the wistfully evocative and inquisitive 'Park Entrance' to the inviting and exploratory 'Pedvale Sunrise'. This listener keeps getting pulled into the entrancing gravitational pull of 'Slow Singers On The Hill'.

Remastered from original sources and packed within heavy gatefolds filled with never-before-seen vintage photos, these titles give fans - long time, long suffering, intrigued by the legend - the first real chance to hear these titles in over thirty years.

            Fuzzweed is from an edition of approximately 900 copies (worldwide) and is pressed on 140 gram Dutch vinyl by Record Industry.

            The album is housed within a handsome multi-color silk- screened jacket bearing new artwork from John Moloney. (As an added bonus, be sure to pop your LP cover under a blacklight to see some super-reactive HOT pink ink.)

            The album is accompanied by a download coupon for DRM-free digital files. Fuzzweed was tenderly mastered by Patrick Klem.

            Initial orders include an exclusive bonus CD.

            This bonus disc is titled Fantasy Set (TLR098) and is a new full-length MV&EE release assembled from live recordings made during the duo’s january 2012 month-long residency at Brooklyn’s Zebulon. Fantasy Set presents a sort of “dream set” and features guest turns from Pat “PG Six” Gubler, Jeremy Earl, Willie Lane, Jarvis Taveniere, Matt “Herbcraft” Lajoie, Carson “Smokehound” Arnold and Ron Schneiderman. Similar to prior Three Lobed bonus discs, this one will be a glass- mastered CD (not CDR) and feature artwork. It is only available in pre-order/initial retail copies and then only while supplies last. Don’t miss out!

            “Fuzzweed. I don’t know that strain. Maybe it’s a secret within Vermont state borders. I have a nice image in my mind suggested by the name where lurid purple flecks forming a halo around the sticky, sticky good stuff - one look, one sniff assures you of a fine trip ahead. That generous promise of a grand journey flows from the conceptual strain to this album sharing that same name. With each successive release, MV & EE strive to map new territory and to travel more distant orbits. It makes sense that this mission is their furthest reaching yet. While they’ve long been comfortable navigating the same planes as such cosmic explorers as Sun Ra and Alan Silva, Fuzzweed sees them planting their freak flag in the sorts of different galaxies where the atmospheres counterpoint the music of the spheres with the more earthbound plaints of the blues. Please remember that The Golden Record that NASA sent up with Voyager back in more optimistic times included “Dark Was The Night.” That concept – listening to Blind Willie Johnson in space – strikes me as an apt analogy for what this Fuzzweed accomplishes on every spin.
            --Pete Coward, noted MVEE head--
