Nick Cave & Warren Ellis' Carnage, The Mountain Goats, The Roots, Sleater-Kinney, Hiss Golden Messenger & Loads More New Releases

This week we've been catching up after Record Store Day Drop #1 and we have some exciting new releases for you...

Out this Friday is Dark In Here, a new album from Californian Indie Folk band The Mountain Goats recorded in March 2020. Founding band member John Darnielle writes in the liner notes that “if you’re looking for a governing theme here, it’s calamity, as all the songs are either anticipating one or reflecting one that’s already happened.” 

We have the limited edition 'high noon somewhere blue' etched double vinyl and CD in stock. Stunning artwork too!

The Roots - Do You Want More?!!!??! is a deluxe 3LP set with bonus material. It is the second studio album and the major-label debut from The Legendary Roots Crew first released in 1995.

Also released this week is Quietly Blowing It by Hiss Golden Messenger.

“I went looking for peace,” says songwriter M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger about his new album Quietly Blowing It. “It’s not exactly a record about the state of the world or my world in 2020, but more a retrospective of the past five years of my life, painted in sort of impressionistic hues.

Carnage is Nick Cave's collaboration with his Bad Seeds bandmate Warren Ellis.

It's certainly a tough time for small independent businesses and we're really gutted that our near neighbours on Aswell Street The Little Rose Tearoom has sadly closed this week. A big thank you to Debbie, Matt & all the team for keeping me going with cuppas and sandwiches over the last 6 years. We'll miss you - good luck for the future.

In today's BBC news is an interesting article How Vinyl Records Are Trying To Go Green about making the record industry more sustainable, with Nick Mulvey and Ninja Tune both getting a mention for the developments they're making to their vinyl production.
