As is Disappears...)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Ever evolving, FACS have returned to their original line-up of Brian Case, Jonathan Van Herik, and Noah Leger, who recorded their debut album, Negative Houses after their previous band, Disappears, disbanded. There has been a switch-up in their approach, however, as Case and Van Herik swapped their respective guitar and bass roles, giving FACS a new dynamic for writing and recording Wish Defense. Notably, Wish Defense is also the last album recorded and engineered by Steve Albini prior to his untimely death. The engineering was finished by Electric Audio’s Sanford Parker and mixed by John Congleton using Albini’s notes and analog tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis switch-up created a new-ish sound for FACS, blending all of the elements of the band’s previous albums while harkening back to Negative Houses and Case’s earlier band, 90 Day Men (who recently had a reissue box set released on Numero Group). The result is less dub influence, but maintains the atmospheric palette the band has developed over their career. It feels more minimal, but FACS are too mathy and textured to be considered a minimalist act. “Talking Haunted” kicks off the album with a Joy Division-inspired sound, stripped down and somber, while later tracks like “A Room” showcase more dynamic drumming and building guitars that transition from angular jaggedness into lush repetition. Fuzz bass and reverb touched guitars carry “Sometimes Only” into ballad territory were it not for Case’s sung-spoken vocals and Leger’s complex rhythms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese core musical elements wax and wan in different pulses throughout the album, demonstrating the black and white checkered cover art and the theme of duality between post-punk’s anxious energy and the ethereal qualities of shoegaze and goth music.\" - Everything Is Noise\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lp2a894e9Sg?si=ggVYI4Pwf8Ld_tAl\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trouble In Mind","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":42692654170154,"sku":"FACS - Wish Defense WHITE","price":43.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black","offer_id":42692654202922,"sku":"FACS - Wish Defense BLACK","price":41.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/facs-wishdefense.jpg?v=1743044047"},{"product_id":"heatmiser-mic-city-sons-30th-anniversary-2lp","title":"* PREORDER * HEATMISER - Mic City Sons (30th Anniversary) 2LP (colour vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e* PREORDER * we are awaiting an update from the supplier.

Blue colour vinyl, black and 2CD also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at 1985 through the lens of independent DIY music, mid-decade, there was a year-long succession of leaps by Hüsker Dü, each building on the powerful and undeniable sprint from the scrappy punk institution SST to the artistic empathy of Warner Bros. As observers caught on, testimonials came from many quarters, including NY Times, which recognised the band as “the best to have emerged from the hardcore scene.”  After blowing the doors off the burgeoning alt-rock movement with Zen Arcade the previous July, the band dropped New Day Rising just six months later and then never stopped chasing the Hidden Beach sunrise that adorned that album’s cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn January 30, 1985, the 1500 attendees inside 1st Ave wouldn’t be needing so much as a T-shirt, let alone the nearest fiberfill parka: from the first blinding moments of “New Day Rising,” it was clear that Dü had arrived intent on setting every molecule in the room alight. Their setlist displayed a night-long cascade of fireballs chosen from Everything Falls Apart, Metal Circus, Zen Arcade, and New Day Rising, and 5 new songs that would appear on Flip Your Wig. They also made several nods, with a ballistic take on The Byrds’ “Eight Miles High,” a turbulent spin on The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” featuring Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner, a pop-punk remake of “Ticket To Ride, ” and closing with their signature cover “Love Is All Around.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering the late-Jan 2011 fire that consumed a precious portion of the Dü archive, it has to be reckoned as a kind of subordinate miracle that the 1985 1st Ave tapes survived at all. They deliver peak Dü at full gallop through already beloved material, still years shy of fully cementing their status as a blueprint for the alternative rock skyscraper to come. This set celebrates these tapes, strikingly perhaps the highest fidelity Hüsker Dü recordings ever produced during the band’s lauded SST years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Numero Group","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":43694693482538,"sku":"HUSKER DU - 1985: The Miracle Year BLUE","price":184.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black","offer_id":43694693515306,"sku":"HUSKER DU - 1985: The Miracle Year BLACK","price":171.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2CD","offer_id":43694695743530,"sku":null,"price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/huskerdu-themiracleyear.jpg?v=1759922135"},{"product_id":"angel-face-out-in-the-street-lp","title":"* PREORDER * ANGEL FACE - Out In The Street LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e* PREORDER * awaiting our supplier to receive a restock and we'll ship from them immediately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLET'S GO!

Yes, we have heard it maybe a dozen times... Simon returned from his tour here inspired and on fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the marvels of Joyner’s catalog is how his patterns don’t repeat but transform. Knowing nods to Cohen, Dylan, and V.U. have been part of his songwriting since the early lo-fi days, but the ways these touchstones get infused keep changing. Rock songs split the difference between minimal grooves learned from Loaded-era Velvet Underground and the ecstatic rhythmic weirdness of Can. By the time we arrive at the penultimate track, “Anniversary Song,” the ghost vocals and scratches of microtonal synth have blurred the lines between Joyner’s folk singer heart and his avant-garde spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of this leads to the 20-minute title track which closes Tough Love, an eviscerating plunge into a seemingly bottomless pit of regret, survivor’s guilt, and unvarnished grief. Borrowing a repetitious structure from Lou Reed’s narrated suite, “Street Hassle,” and combined with the full-side testimonial of Dylan’s “Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands,” Joyner narrates from the perspective of his departed son speaking to his father and laying out his every failure and brutally highlighting how none of it can be undone. Soon, though, this agony opens up into something transcendent, in both its elegant imagery and ethereal atmospherics. The final moments of the album grant permission for self-forgiveness and hopefully someday, understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch as Joyner has approached songcraft from obtuse angles that change every time he picks up the guitar to make a new album, his relationship with grief and everyday struggle and the eternal reach for something brighter changes on Tough Love as well. Again, the meaning deepens, breathing in transformation with every strum, every unexpected observation, and every weighty sigh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jzuPY0W9h0A?si=pPgXVifM71KWdhtl\u0026amp;start=445\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapefruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44201910861866,"sku":"SIMON JOYNER - Tough Love 2LP","price":64.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/simonjoyner-toughlove.jpg?v=1774594081"},{"product_id":"neurosis-an-undying-love-for-a-burning-world-2lp","title":"* PREORDER * NEUROSIS - An Undying Love For A Burning World 2LP (colour vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e* PREORDER * expected to arrive early-mid May\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited edition colour double vinyl.

Slinging indie rock and hardcore records in his hometown record store while attending university, Edkins became an ardent student of rock ‘n’ roll; from the psychedelic 1960s to the DIY 1990s and beyond. Hoopla, the catchy, melodic second LP from Edkins’s solo project Weird Nightmare, mixes and matches these influences in fun and exhilarating combinations, displaying his sophisticated musical mind. Bursting to life with hooks and earworms, Hoopla is that one tape that never gets ejected from the car stereo, but plays on repeat, soundtracking the summer. New and nostalgic at the same time, Hoopla will perk up your ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeird Nightmare’s self-produced, and decidedly lo-fi, self-titled debut was recorded at home during the pandemic and released by Sub Pop in 2022. Weird Nightmare displayed Edkins’s indie rock sensibility, with a penchant for undeniable hooks and massive sing-along choruses. His skills at writing and performing only tightened on a series of singles that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the new studio album Hoopla—co-produced with Spoon’s Jim Eno and recorded at Seth Manchester’s Machines with Magnets—Edkins expands Weird Nightmare’s dimensions even further. Gilded onto the direct emotions of his straightforward songwriting, new musical textures such as piano, bells, and castanets give these well-wrought tunes a shiny luster.

If Weird Nightmare’s debut was an underground crowd pleaser akin to Richard Linklater’s Slacker, then Hoopla is Edkins’s Dazed and Confused, or even better, Before Sunrise.

With crazy names like Biggles Books and Phones B Sportsmen they created songs with equally mad titles like Midget Submarines, Helicopter Spies and Read About Seymour. The songs were submerged beneath a fuzzy din made up of hoovers, wind up toys and all sorts of paraphernalia and yet against all the odds the amazingly catchy tunes fought their way to the surface. And how. Though Swell Maps’ flame flickered only briefly before splitting in 1980 they developed instant cult status and influenced a whole generation of bands to follow from Thrilled Skinny to Sonic Youth and from Stereolab to even Nirvana and Blur. And now they are back… Kind of…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to set the scene because this is a very hard act to follow in the second incarnation of Swell Maps, not just the passage of time but because two of the three main driving forces, Nikki Sudden and his brother Epic Soundtracks, are sadly no longer with us.

Their acclaimed third album, 2024’s Ilion, was a sci-fi story built with 10- to 13-minute exploratory escapades, often starting with doom metal or stoner rock before spinning freely into glorious instrumental oblivion. But, in a bit of intentional irony, SLIFT’s fourth album is actually called Fantasia. It’s their leanest and most direct record to date; taken together, its eight songs clock in at less than 50 minutes. It is also their most riveting album yet, a pointed saga about overcoming international upheaval delivered by a band bearing down, not wasting a single second in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey wanted to write and render songs that recognized the turmoil of these days and to sing of a more hopeful vision, of a time when a reckoning arrives. SLIFT didn’t want to lose the message by playing too much. To wit, the longest song on Fantasia is the opening title track, a nine-minute preamble in which Jean Fossat screams of his desires for the world: rising above our pain, burying our dread, and finding, individually and collectively, “a fire for your soul.” The songs that follow aren’t lacking the complexity or intensity that have made SLIFT a rising, radical star in heavy music; it’s simply that they’ve found new ways to weave the complexities of their past inside every piece, like a tapestry that reveals a new layer every time you look. In doing so, they offer an affirming and urgent message: Together, we can still change the times in which we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ScfFYQri_RA?si=JarkbUZHjdHScmZ_\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Mustard Yellow 2LP","offer_id":44222494769194,"sku":"SLIFT - Fantasia 2LP","price":61.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":44222494801962,"sku":"SLIFT - Fantasia CD","price":24.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/files\/slift-fantasia.jpg?v=1775039436"},{"product_id":"sleeves-s-t-lp","title":"* PREORDER * SLEEVES - s\/t LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e* PREORDER * expected to arrive early-mid May\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sleeves are the duo of Jack Cooper and Tara Cunningham, both likely known to you as one half of Modern Nature.

But it doesn't happen nearly often enough, either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“What I initially found so familiar and exciting about playing guitar with Jack - and continually do - is that our approach to music is pretty much exactly the same. And that is - to celebrate the space that frames ideas, embraces silence, to play simply, simultaneously championing our respective unembellished guitar sounds, whilst looking for sounds that aren’t like a guitar at all - bells, birds, switching between radio stations etc. It’s rare to find someone who - whatever this means to you - ‘gets it’ - and I think when we started playing guitar together, we both knew the other had something of whatever our ‘it’ was.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“‘The Sleeves’ is the sum of our shared musical journey thus far, an exciting mix of familiarity and uncharted territory in its approach to structure and how we use our guitars and voices.

The following year, Morgan embarked on a solo European tour and he and Granli did three shows together in Norway. Ultimately finding each other reasonably tolerable and able to agree to disagree on punk versus prog, they soon thereafter toured together in the fall of 2019 in Europe for 50 days with each playing solo. As the tour progressed, both found themselves influencing and being influenced by the other and by the end, they decided they should do a band together (easier to book one act rather than a package deal).

Outside of agreeing that there should be a strong focus on duo vocals and that Morgan would play guitar and Granli electronics, not much else was discussed in advance of first playing together.
