GOLDEN BIRDS Carrier (Paranoid) cd 8.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Golden Birds have offered up not one but two fine releases for our indie rock lovin' ears (one on Paranoid Records and the other self-released). The band aligns itself well with the likes of early-mid period Wedding Present as well as Bright Eyes and Interpol (particular in the emotive vocal department).
This is their energetic debut full length which expands on an earlier ep that the band released when they went by the name Carrier. You might recall that back in 2002 we carried Home Movies which was another of their self-released eps. They're quite a different sounding band these days, distancing themselves considerably from their more postrock-ish and atmospheric beginnings in favor of poppy punch. Note: one song is shared by both releases "Sioux Falls South Dakota".

This is a special cdep of acoustic numbers that the band self-released to coincide with a tour this past summer. Wistful, sensitive pop without drums, but with warm guitar strumming, pretty glockenspiel and some dreamy boy/girl vocals. Note: one song is shared by both releases "Sioux Falls".

GOLDEN DAWN Power Plant (Sunspots) cd 16.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Golden Dawn were 1960's Texas brethren of Thirteenth Floor elevators, but their brand of psych garage involves a more British invasion type sound- like Aftermath era Stones or the Kinks. OK, like the Kinks if they smoked massive amounts of the "power plant" and were heavily into occult metaphysics. This is the only album they ever made, and it contains some pretty great poppy psych-garage gems. While not as heavy or whacked out as Texas contemporaries such as the Elevators or Red Krayola, Golden Dawn are badass and solid none the less, and well deserving of this handsome lp-styled cd reissue.

GOLDEN HOTEL The Silver Wilderness (Golden Hotel) cd 11.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
It's always a little nerve wracking listening to a friend's record. Hoping that it's good so you don't have to hem and haw and eventually say something like "Wow...really interesting" or "Wow. Great guitar sound" or some other non-committal could-be-construed-as-saying-you-like-the-record sort of thing. So it's even more intense when it's someone's -first- record. But luckily, this time, there was no need to worry, 'cause this Golden Hotel record is a gorgeous, droney, space-y, drugged out psychedelic folk record. Golden Hotel is our customer Cayce (who has appeared in several of the AQ neighborhood films, he's the bearded fellow with the dog Cowboy) and his brother Sidney who is in AQ faves Torrez. And the Torrez connection definitely shows, with shimmery guitars and warm thick atmosphere, but the female vocals of Torrez are replaced with the brothers' rough but melodic warm warbly rasps and the sound is a little less lush and a bit more buzzing and immediate (plenty of instrument buzz, lip smacking, breathing). Warm swells of thick guitar wash over shimmering high end harmonics whirling quietly in the background as gently strummed acoustic guitar underpins delicate minor key melodies. Lots of stray sounds, varied instrumentation and production fuckery augment these ultimately simple folk songs, turning them into languid, stoned epics, with simple stumbling percussion, fuzzy far-away guitar, droning buzzing harmonies, pulsing underwater bass, and dreamy blissed out ambience. Definitely influenced by/reminiscent of Greg Weeks, Six Organs Of Admittance, Charalambides, Joshua, Songs:Ohia, Herman Dune, and other current practitioners of modern psych-folk. A great surprise and a fantastic record.

GOLDEN PALOMINOS Surrealistic Surfer (Dressed to Kill) cd 16.98
Latest in a long line of records from Anton Fier, mastermind behind Golden Palominos (former member of Feelies, Pere Ubu, etc), who since 1981 has been making increasingly smoother and more conventional pop music. But this is about a hundred times better than what you're going to get on the radio, of course.The Palominos' apparent open door policy with regards to membership has meant that artists as diverse as Peter Blegvad, Bill Laswell, T-Bone Burnett, Bob Mould, & Richard Thompson have all appeared on the records.
This is a compilation of pre- Lori
Carson material, with A Dead Horse (featuring Amanda Kramer and Robert Kidney on vocals) being the most recent album represented (circa 1988). Not really a new album, unfortunately. Nonetheless, the pop songs are pretty luscious and beautiful; you may want to pick this up.

We won't go into too much detail with this as it's limited to a mere 100 copies and odds are will be sold out or nearly so by the time you're reading this.
Golden Retriever is the duo of Matt Carlson, from Bonus, who we've raved about in the past, along with multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Sielaff, the two use synthesizer and bass clarinet to evoke images of some dystopian future, or the streets of some dying city, the synths buzz and rumble, whir and thrum, the clarinet soars and sings lyrically, subtly intertwined with the synth buzz, the two occasionally falling together perfectly, creating a thick swath of ominous sound. The clarinet flutter and flits, occasionally slipping into some abstract jazziness, other times offering counterpoint for the synths' low end melodic buzz, or unfurling long long Niblockian tones, which is when GR sound the best, when the synth and clarinet are locked into longform stretches of near static sound, tense and intense, minimal and mysterious.
Gorgeous packaging, elaborately folded vellum sleeve, with the full color disc visible from within, and a small printed insert. LIMITED TO 100 COPIES.

GOLDEN RING, THE Iranian Styled 60's Garage & Other Exotic Sounds (Persianna) cd 25.00
We first heard the Golden Ring on the amazing compilation Raks Raks Raks: 17 Golden Garage Psych Nuggets From The Iranian 60's Scene, and we knew we had to hear more, and just like that, a collection of 7"s and assorted tracks from the band that was one of the first and most important Iranian garage bands, mixing traditional Iranian music and instrumentation with Western pop of the time, like the Beatles, the results were mindblowing, totally ahead of their time, even know these songs sound incredible, catchy and groovy, but also totally psychedelic and mysterious.
The band never recorded a proper album, which makes this collection all the more amazing, every track here rules, it's a wonder this wasn't reissued ages ago. This is head and shoulders above much of the stuff that gets touted as lost classics.
The collection begins with "Tulip" that sounds like it could have been a Joe Meek production, in fact much of this record had us thinking it could have been a made up band masterminded by Meek, it's that far out, and that brilliant. "Tulip" adds swirling organ to twangy surf guitars, definitely offering a nod, intentional or otherwise to the Telstars, but it's track two where things get really good.
"Beauty" begins with tinkling melodies, and Bollywood like vocals, the sound swirling and definitely psychedelic, very dynamic and groovy, but them in come soaring operatic female vocals, and did we mention the stop start breakdown complete with whistling, so good, so totally classic, but at the same time, so unlike any of the other vintage garage rock we've heard.
And so it goes, much of the record is definitely very Middle Eastern sounding, almost like Iranian folk music given a garage makeover, the Beatles influence is definitely all over the place, as is plenty of whistling, and more of that swirly organ, the production is fantastic, lush, but definitely experimental, there's harmonica, giving those tracks a twangy Morricone vibe, there are dizzying organ driven rockers, the sound murky and washed out, the melodies tangled and weirdly atonal, there are some parts that sound very Bollywood, others just sound totally far out.
"Sun Full Moon" is a favorite, the whole song warped and warbly, guitars bending and swerving, the harmonicas practically melting, it sounds like the pitch is constantly shifting, like a mistake in mastering, but the result is super tripped out and amazing. This whole collection is just fantastic, hard to work on the list cuz this is pretty much all we want to listen to. Totally recommended.

GOLDEN SMOG Another Fine Day (Lost Highway) cd 15.98
This super duper group stars Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Dan Murphy of Soul Asylum, Run Westy Run singer Kraig Johnson, and The Jayhawks' Gary Louris and Marc Perlman. It's taken the gents eight long years to get another album together. You might recall their last one the casually patchy Weird Tales came out back in 1998. Another Fine Day is their third full length, a generous fifteen song serving of Golden Smog. It starts out as pretty much by the books country rock. That's all fine and dandy enough, but on the fifth song the band throws the listener a great curve ball. "Corvette" is an unexpectedly lightning bolt of power pop (uh, we just found out that it was originally written for an actual Corvette commercial... sigh.). The vocals for this one tune sound charmingly like Guided By Voices' Robert Pollard. We hit repeat on that one a bunch of times. It's a perfect mixtape tune. The follow-up ain't no slouch either. It's a gentle psych rock number reminiscent of Bowie and Bolan that starts out with a willowy instrumental intro. Nice! From there the album continues it's pleasingly varied path from the sweet pretty pop of "Cure For This" to the considerably grittier electric guitar riffin' of "Hurricane". Despite Golden Smog being a side project for many of its members, they've assembled a very dedicated, fleshed out, un-side project-y album. Recommended.

GOLDEN SORES A Peaceable Kingdom (Blood Lust) cd-r 14.98
Record number two from these Midwestern dronelords, with some loose connection to black ambient soundscapers Locrian, even if it doesn't go much beyond playing together and living in the same city. That said, if you dug the Locrian record from a few lists back, odds are you'll dig this to.
There's no black metal woven into the Golden Sores' sound, instead they offer up more of a spaced out krautdrone, ethereral, ephemeral, but somehow still dense and thick and HEAVY. Not sure what the instrumentation is, we'd like to think there are some guitars in there, but it hardly matters, it's what comes out of the speakers that matters, not what goes onto the tape. And what is coming out of our speakers right now is some gloriously heavy, throbbing, pulsating buzzing psychedelic dronemusick. The first track is just some totally divine spaced out new age kosmiche drone, the second is a wall of crumbling blown out distorted buzz, like taking the primordial ooze of Earth or Sunn, and hurling it into the heart of a dying star. The tracks shift after that from deep cavernous rumbles, to billowing clouds of blackened shimmer, to muted snarling buzzscapes, to glimmering outer space druggy drifts, and finally, to a gorgeously sprawling expanse of low end throb, crank the bass on your stereo and you'll have things vibrating right off your shelves, a sound so phsyical, after it's over, merely hearing music without actually feeling it, barely seems like enough.
Definitive deep drone listening for sure, recommended for those of you who gravitate toward the heavier, spacier side of the low end spectrum, as previously explored by the likes of Expo 70, Locrian, Vulture Club, Fear Falls Burning, RST, To Blacken The Pages, Karl Bosmann, Pussygutt and the like.

GOLDFRAPP Seventh Tree (Mute) cd 15.98

GOLDMUND The Malady Of Elegance (Type) cd 15.98
There's another Goldmund record! And so soon after his gem Two Point Discrimination. For those new to the man and the band, Goldmund is Keith Kenniff (aka Helios) and his brand of solo piano music excels in borrowing from twentieth century composers like Feldman, Cardew, and Glass, and infusing them with the charm of folk melodies from the 19th and early 20th century. Over his last 4 releases, he has done a remarkable job creating a truly singular voice with great economy. The effect can be nostalgic, though the compositions are too clever to be pigeonholed as such. Additionally, the recording quality is phenomenally detailed and closely mic'd. One of the great pleasures in Goldmund's past recordings and on this one too, is all of the rich and textural sounds from the piano. You can hear the friction of the keys, and hear the thump of the hammers on the strings. All of this keeps the sometimes sepia drenched content in a generally forward thinking mode; a sort of autumnal nostalgia for next winter, and in time, next Spring. Kenniff lives in Boston and it shows. The whole thing is very New England, and more than a bit puritan, with its stark yet warm aesthetic. Above all it is truly listenable and well conceived music that doesn't really demand your attention as much as it generously wraps itself around whatever you were already paying attention too, and infuses it with a bit of wistful beauty or bittersweet melancholy. Very much recommended for those of you who find yourselves staring out of windowsŠ thinking.

GOLDMUND Two Point Discrimination (Western Vinyl) cd 12.98
Two Point Discrimination features an all too short twenty four minutes of new piano compositions from Goldmund aka Keith Keniff aka Helios! There's eleven tracks in all, quite fleeting in length with only one clocking in over three minutes.
Their one word titles together form a single sentence -- "Leading then from light to shadow they will see as one". You might say that the latter is Kenniff's more Brian Eno-esque ambient side, whereas Goldmund is his Philip Glass-ian persona. Austere and beautiful as always!

GOLIATH BIRD EATER Blood Venus (Not Not Fun) cd 9.98
Yet another guitar / drum duo! And man are these guys heavy as fuck! What do you expect with a name like Goliath Bird Eater? Usually when a band decides to go bassless, it seems like a really bad idea, and we always tend to think "dude, you guys would be SO much heavier with a bass player", but in the case of GBE, we're not sure what the heck they would do with a bass player. Every conceivable inch of space is stuffed with super pounding blown out drumming or crushing downtuned metallic guitars, or during those brief moments where there are neither, dense tangled squalls of feedback freakout. There are definite nods to the Champs, and to Hella, even though this is ostensibly a 'metal' record, it's definitely got a serious post rock vibe, especially the drumming. It almost sounds like a more minimal version of the Dazzling Killmen. Which is not a bad thing at all. Hard to believe GBE mainman Bobb Bruno once did time in indie rock outfit Polar Goldie Cats cuz man can he wield an axe like nobody's business. Be sure and stick around for the final 30 minute track, a dreamy, slow burning krautrocky bliss out, all droning keyboard and simple shuffling drums, that waits until the last three minutes to break out into some super aggro metallic bombast. Cool exploding veined octopus lady cover art too!

GOLIGHTLY, HOLLY My First Holly Golightly Album (Damaged Goods) cd 14.98
Oh those unmistakable bad girl vocals of Ms Holly Golightly! A bit brash, a bit raunchy, slightly nasal, slightly slurred, slightly snarky, you've just gotta love it! She's taken care of business both as a member of the trashy garage rawk combo Thee Headcoatees (the female counterpart to Billy Childish's wry, raw and gritty Thee Headcoats) and as a solo artist. Here's her latest full length filled with a bit slower than usual, creepin' tunes that bring to mind old Rolling Stones and Wanda Jackson. Y'know, she's probably the kinda gal your mom might not be too happy to hear you've been hangin' around with, but we won't tell. Bad influence? Pshaw! Just show her the album cover. Looks innocent enough, don't it?

GOLIGHTLY, HOLLY Pretty Good Love (Smartguy) 7" 4.50
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Beautiful songs from this sassy lady who spent four years as a member of the Billy Childish extended family, namely the Headcoatees. Released on local label Smartguy and the packaging is great. (The cover of the 7" has a stick figure girl jumping off a bridge and it's captioned "in private, and often in public, women are bad losers when rejected in love...") Instrumentation includes violin and banjo, which perfectly back her sexy, gritty vocals. Two really great songs that may or may not be new (I feel like I've heard different recordings of these before so if you have some Holly Golightly records be wary). I do believe however that they are new -recordings- of these songs. And if you don't already own any of her records this is a good, inexpensive place to start.

GOLIGHTLY, HOLLY Singles Round Up (Damaged Goods) cd 15.98
We've stocked this right-on collection before (it came out in 2001), but somehow we missed reviewin' it, so... Prominent female member of Billy Childish's garage-rawkin' entourage (most notably head hostess of Thee Headcoatees), Ms Holly Golightly kicks ass. Perhaps the best (non-live) way to hear a garage rock tune is on the vinyl 7" format, but what d'ya do when your a big ol' Holly fan and your turntable's on the blink? Aaah, you hope that a kind record label in London will re-release two dozen of 'em on one cd. Well chappy, you're in luck 'cause the Damaged Goods label has done just that! Included in the rambunctious bunch are covers of Lee Hazlewood's "Sand", Ike Turner's "Your Love Is Mine" and Pavement's "Box Elder".

GOLIGHTLY, HOLLY The Good Things (Damaged Goods) cd 15.98
Though this is not new, we have not listed any of her work before and I, Sadie, thought it important to bring her to your attention, starting with this, her first lovely release. Holly Golightly joined the Billy Childish auxiliary group Thee Headcoatees in 1991 but didn't release her debut solo record until 1995. Since then she has released eight records and tons of singles. Whereas the Headcoatees were straight-up garage, doing a lot of Headcoats covers, Holly has her own unique style. She certainly shows her garage roots, yet also blends in elements of folk, blues and straight up rock'n'roll. Her lyrics and voice are what really do it for me. The lyrics are direct yet descriptive and once in a while mean and downright dirty. And her voice? It can go from all sweet, soft and sexy to all growly and tough in the bat of an eyelash. Moody and dark, but tempered with an ample dose of sass. Soooooo good.

GOLIGHTLY, HOLLY & THE BROKEOFFS Devil Do (Transdreamer) cd ep 6.98
Smoking new ep from one of our favorite strong and saucy songstresses Holy Golightly along with The Brokeoffs, her backup band who joined forces with her a couple years ago, and are proving to have the same kind of spicy demeanor as her former co-conspirator Billy Childish. Deliciously twangy, sassy and packing a serious wallop, Devil Do is reminding us all over again why we fell so hard for Miss Golightly all those years ago. Each of the four tracks here are totally great but the real stand out and wonderful oddball of the bunch is the dark and brooding closer "Whoopie Ti Yi Yo" which almost sounds like what might happen if Golightly lent her voice to a record by Earth! We are keeping are fingers crossed for more songs in this direction, but truly whatever Holly does it's always damn fine!

GOLIGHTLY, HOLLY & THE BROKEOFFS You Can't Buy A Gun When You're Crying (Damaged Goods) cd 14.98
Oh Holly, you get us every time! With her timeless voice and snarly attitude, Golightly is one of the fiercest singers and songwriters of our time! With her new band The Brokeoffs we get to hear her take a break from her usual garage juke joint gems and explore the moonshine drenched world of Appalachia. From sparse country ballads to haunting blues, this record shows that no matter what musical direction Golightly takes on, the results are always fantastic. Musically, it's almost like a stripped down version of those haunting Tom Waits soundscapes, with an ever so wonderfully warped country twang and then of course the icing on the cake is Golightly's spot on vocals and delivery which make the songs so immediate and engaging. So nice!

Miss Golightly continues on along the dusty country road she set off on her last album, 2007's You Can't Buy A Gun When You're Crying. No signs of the garage anywhere, but fear not she nails the country roots just as well and with as much grit and guts as she does the garage rawk. Her unmistakable he-done-me-wrong voice is perfect for the genre. A perfect balance of girlish sass and world weary womanly know-how, she can really belt out the blues, and The Brokeoffs are right there with her! Also for fans of The Sadies when they've got Ms Neko in tow (or vice versa)!

GOLOWIN, SERGIUS Lord Krishna Von Goloka (Lion) cd 14.98
You know the notion of the wise old hermit sitting on a mountaintop? You'd expect to find an Eastern guru like that up on some Himalayan peak, but of course leave it to a bunch of Swiss and German hippies in the '70s to relocate that mountaintop guru concept to the Alps, and why not? These krautrockers, organized as one of Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser's "Cosmic Couriers" projects, found the perfect frontman, enlisting Swiss writer/folklorist Sergius Golowin (an expert on both Alpine myths and magic mushrooms, not to mention a friend of fugitive acid maven Timothy Leary) to provide mystic recitations over the Eastern-inspired druggy kraut bliss a-sprawl on this 1973 LSD dipped/tripped/hipped "supersession" happening. Said spaced out sounds generated, via flute Mellotron bongos electronics piano tablas organ glockenspiel & guitars, by a cast of musicians including folkies Witthuser & Westrupp, members of hard progsters Wallenstein, and last but not least, he of much kosmiche cred, Klaus Schulze! Actually, Golowin's echoey German-language spoken vox, while adding to the esoteric atmosphere, really take a back seat to the trancey music found on these three long tracks, the longest and most dramatic of which is the third, "Die Hoch-Keit", at almost 20 minutes taking up all of the original vinyl's second side. It begins like an eerie interlude from a particularly psychedelic Spaghetti Western soundtrack, full of abstract percussive sputter, cascading piano, and whispered vocals, its rhythms eventually coalescing into minimalist, Reich/Reichel style pulsations, having a looping, Moolah-like aspect. It and the other two equally freaky pieces on here make for mind expanding, maybe not exactly relaxing music, having a nervous energy that might have something to do with the general drug vibe... yet some portions of this album are quite angelic. While kraut fiends will want this 'cause it was one of the first of Kaiser's post-OHR Cosmic Couriers label albums, released after Ash Ra Tempel's Seven Up and before Walter Wegmuller's Tarot, even the less obsessed might find this an interesting Astral-Alpine excursion!
It's been reissued before, on Spalax, but this new edition boasts much more in the way of liner notes in the thick cd booklet, including some fairly recent interviews with the late Sergius Golowin himself, who passed away in 2006, a true hippie guru 'til the end.

Yep, white-haired pixie Daevid Allen and his current-day cohorts (that's our pal Josh Pollock playing guitar!) meet up with AMT's Kawabata and Cotton Casino for a rollercoaster musical love-in, the tracks incorporating everything from heavy riffing to George W. Bush samples to ravey dance grooves. It's goofy and freaky, with rapping/chanting vocals that will either charm you with their psychedelic nonsense lyrics or drive you utterly mad. I guess it had to happen. If you ever thought that AMT was too serious, or not indulgent enough, or should sound more like the Talking Heads, then this is for you!! Long time Gong fans should note that Gilli Smyth shows up on one track.

GONZALES Solo Piano (Sunnyside) cd 16.98
A few years ago electro wizard/producer Gonzales surprised us all with the release of an immaculate and beautiful solo piano recording. For some weird reason the record seemed to come and go in the blink of an eye, but thankfully the Sunnyside label has saved the day and made this gorgeous record available once again. Best known for his production work with the likes of Peaches, Feist and various artists on the Kitty-Yo label as well as his own forays into electro-pop and hip-hop, Gonzales shows that you just never know what somebody has up their sleeves. Playing piano since he was a young child, Solo Piano is the work of an obviously gifted musician but also someone with a keen sense of rich melody and elegant execution. Conjuring up the spirit of Erik Satie and George Gershwin, Solo Piano is that perfect mix of skill and simplicity. Short tracks, breezy and tranquil and beautiful. Oh so nice!

GONZALEZ, CHRIS Christmas With Chris G. (Conspiritorial Efforts Recordings) cd 9.98
Woah, it's like the day before the day before Christmas, so if we're ever gonna list this we'd better do it now, eh?! Although, this specially-priced, hour-long disc from ex-Comets On Fire/Gargantula/Exploding Crustaceans member Chris Gonzalez, despite its rather over the top Xmas theme, could be enjoyed at other times of the year as well. We suppose. It's funny ha-ha and also funny weird too. Probably playing it in July would make it more of the latter. Basically, Chris, seemingly intoxicated with the Yuletide spirit, has decided to have his way with a bunch of traditional holiday songs (including "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer", "Winter Wonderland", "Silent Night" and "Little Drummer Boy"... indeed all but one of of the twelve tracks are traditional Christmas tunes, see if you can guess which one isn't). However, several are barely recognizable when he's through with 'em! He tackles each song differently, but you've gonna hear a lot of chaotic, distorted, deranged lo-fi lounge and hard rock stylings, recorded on a four-track, with various "guests"... some of it in front of a (fake) live audience, complete with heckling. It's all about as ridiculous as can be. Christmas comedy doesn't get much more silly and surreal -- or noisy. The hip-hopped version of "Jingle Bells" that morphs into a Slayer song might be the low point...and the high point too. Or maybe that would be the "all star celebrity jam" version of "Simple Having A Wonderful Christmastime" that allegedly features Lars Ulrich, Eddie Vedder, Jah Rule, and Donald Duck, among others! Will Santa think Chris has been naughty or nice with this lil' cd? Well it's hard to judge. He's probably just asking "why?" But for a mere six bucks this might be a fine last-minute novelty stocking-stuffer for the wacky music fan on your list.

Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom's alchemic synthesizer excursions invoking 70's Klaus Schulze/Manuel Gottsching/Tangerine Dream's long-form synth-prog efforts get the remix treatment on this single. What you get is an alternate take and 3 remixes of the song "Relevee" from their self-titled full length on DFA. The remixers are DFA (of course), Baby Ford ('80s acid-house, anyone?) and the minimalist house of Carl Craig, whose latest remixes, this and his remix of Rhythm and Sound's "Poor People Must Work" is actually making us enjoy house music. Which, as you well know, is quite a feat around here.

Somehow missed this when it came out last year. But with Delia & Gavin being recent Arthur Magazine cover stars we figured we should get on the ball. Some of us remember hearing a 12" of theirs on DFA that stood out as it was really like nothing else on the label. These weren't sounds interested in making you dance and shaking your ass, instead they were about creating a trance, a hypnotizing, tranquil and space-bound dreamlike state. The album takes the same approach and even widens and propels its effect. With 5 long songs that will no doubt make you think of the best of Tangerine Dream. So entrancing and mesmerizing. The Days of Mars sort of sounds like trying to travel to outer space in an old helicopter that rises ever so slowly with its rotors going around and around, an analog starship travelling through some druggy digital universe. Taking cues from lots of the best of 70's electronic minded ambient recordings, like the collaborations between Eno & Cluster, as well as the most spaced out moments of pre-Wall Pink Floyd, this is a record that totally nails its sound so well. Something so mesmerizing, empty, and creepy about its presence. There have been times near closing hour where there will be just one person in the store and this will be on and there's just the weirdest tension that begins to permeate the store. Like a film loop of a acid drenched washed out kodachrome shot image that you can't stop staring at. This is the sound of hours after the rave, days of being awake, nights of being in a complete daze. A late night early morning eyes wide shut dreamstate blissout for sure! We are hooked!

GONZALEZ, JOSE Veneer (Mute) cd 15.98
If the cruddy weather we've seen recently in San Francisco decides to come back, we have the perfect rainy day indie-folk record to make us feel ok with it. Minimal arrangements of pensive Spanish-inflected guitar accompany Gonzalez' sedate yet strong voice that falls somewhere between Nick Drake and a male version of Juana Molina, without the electronic accompaniments. Before we heard this, we wrongly assumed this was a folk-tronica record in the vein of Molina or Beck but thankfully Veneer avoids such trappings. With an economy and restraint, unheard of in many contemporary singer-songwriters, Gonzalez wisely lets his sophisticated finger-picking express the melancholic heft of the songs. Beautiful.

GONZALEZ, WALLY On The Road (Vicor) cd 15.98
Wally Gonzalez, guitarist from the Phillippines' proto stoner rock combo the Juan De La Cruz band, stepped out in the late '70s with these two newly cd-ified solo records, 1977's Tunog Pinoy and 1978's On The Road. They're not that heavy but do feature lotsa wailing Wally guitar action -- and wild/cheesy keyboard synth sizzlin' too. Wally fronts 'em both on guitar and vocals and although each was recorded with a different backing band, the two discs are pretty similar. Slow-burning mellow psych pop ballads are mixed with strutting boogie numbers. What titles there are in English are along the lines of "Rock & Roll Mama", "Wally's Blues", "Rockin' Roller" and, uh, "Screw". Neither album is as raw and gritty as the best of Juan De La Cruz, but this is still good fun hard rock and folky balladry, Filipino style, with a polyester '70s sheen that will either kitschly add to your enjoyment or perhaps ruin it totally.

GOOD FOR COWS Audumla (Web Of Mimicry) cd 13.98
What happens when the dooooom takes hold of experimental jazzzz? Good For Cows' latest mooooozzzzzic. Heh Heh. On Audumla drummer Ches Smith (Secret Chiefs 3, Xiu Xiu, John Zorn among others) and bassist Devin Hoff (formerly of Xiu Xiu) churn and rumble their way through nine instrumental jams. We can't say for sure if these sounds are beneficial for cattle, and we doubt we'll be hearing this cd played out in a pasture anytime soon to find out. The bass is a deep sludge-y boiled ooze, the drums are all rhythmic angularities. Electronics and effects provide additional atmospheric texture and unexpected shocks of lightning and sheets of rain in this aural thunderstorm. Some passages definitely brings to mind horror movie soundtracks from the '70s. Ultra ominous and heavy.

GOOD FOR YOU Falling Out (Good Forks) cd 9.98
It seems San Francisco's Good for You aren't aiming to break any new ground with this debut album, but y'know often it's nice to tread a very familiar, well-trodden path. This hails from the catchy emo-land that'll never go out of style. All salute the early strains of Superchunk, Doug Martsch's pre-Built To Spill band the much more tense and angstful Treepeople, and the boy/girl harmonies of PEE and more recently The Anniversary.

GOOD LIFE, THE Black Out (Saddle Creek) cd 13.98
Loping pop with plaintive vocals that alternately brought to mind Robert Smith (The Cure), Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) and Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields). Sort of like a low-key indie Coldplay. And please know that to me this is by no means a bad thing! A multi-layered and engaging album that finds its home on the ever-growing and diversifying Saddle Creek label (The Faint, Bright Eyes, etc). This quintet sweeps from spare acoustic guitar strumming to swelling electrified crescendos, and from electronic wiggly bleeps to completely lush developments with strings and woodwinds, vibraphone, piano, and organ. Recommended.

GOOD STUFF HOUSE Endless Bummer (Root Strata) cd 12.98
Endless Bummer is such a good name for a record. Usually we're not all that into puns as titles (or band names), but Endless Bummer manages to be a pun, while sort of flipping the spirit of the original inside out. We always wanted to call a record Endless Bummer, but we've now been beat to the punch TWICE. At least. Once in the nineties by Further, whose Endless Bummer was an effervescent chunk of in the red post-Pavement slacker Beach Boys worship, and now this record right here, by the mysteriously named Good Stuff House, whose own particular Endless Bummer is much darker and more sedate, a sprawling drift of minimal shimmer and fluttery folk enveloped by dense clouds of natural reverb and billows of soft buzz.
We didn't know too much about Good Stuff House, we had another cd-r that we dug quite a bit, but which went out of print before we could get enough to review, but now we know just why we liked GSH so much, it's the two guys from dronedrift duo Zelienople, and none other than long time aQ fave, guitarist Scott Tuma, he of the legendary Souled American as well as a clutch of amazing solo records (including a recent record of the week). Pretty much hard to go wrong. And Endless Bummer is further proof of just how far from wrong these guys can get....
Apparently Endless Bummer was recorded in unorthodox spaces, warehouses, churches, basements, and it's not just the band performing live, but much like Taj Mahal Travellers 30 years earlier, who would record various performances, then broadcast them into the space, playing along live, often more than once, every step adding more and more murk and buzz and reverb and echo, the sound getting less and less distinct, until it became the sound of drifting along some murky body of water, through a sonic fog so thick it clings to the surface of the water, every note sounding like it had travelled up from the bottom of the sea, or echoing off of the distant shore. Tuma offers up bits of his gorgeous distinctive guitar, and while they do manage to hover briefly, they seem to absorb the sounds around them, soft spidery tendrils transformed into thick swells, the trio introducing bits of voice, various other sounds, all rendered almost immediately unrecognizable, becoming more another part of this sprawling organic whole, cymbal sizzle becomes shimmering clouds, drifting over the drifting murkscape below.
The sound is simultaneously muddy, murky and lo-fi, yet warm, glistening, and subtly melodic, everything is muted, the softened edges barely hiding the glowing sonic glimmers within. Gorgeous.

GOON MOON I Got A Brand New Egg Layin' Machine (Suicide Squeeze) cd 12.98
Whoa, nuthugger! Does this quench (or clench) your supergroup craving? Hella's Zach Hill, former Marilyn Manson guitarist Twiggy Ramirez and Chris Goss of Masters Of Reality. Strange bedfellows, indeed! Not surprisingly this total mish mash of musical personalities have made a total mish-mash musical stew that doesn't really resemble any of their other bands' stuff... well, maybe Hella a wee bit! Pretty hard to put into words. Give 'er a spin and see for yourself!

GOPAL, SAM Escalator (Breathless) cd 15.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Sam Gopal was an Indian tabla player, making the scene in Swinging Sixties London. His 1969 Escalator album is pretty obscure, but a classic as far as we're concerned. Sam's percussion of course does a lot to set it apart from the paisley pack (not that Eastern sounds weren't unheard of back then), but it's really vocalist/guitarist Ian "Lemmy" Willis (yes, Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead) who really shines here. The young Lemmy conjures up some incredibly liquid, languid dark psych on tracks like "The Dark Lord" and "You're Alone Now". Reminds us a bit of Twink's Think Pink album, or even T2. So starkly beautiful. Mellow, melodic, mystical. Not heavy in a loud way (nothing like Motorhead that's for sure!!), but "heavy" nonetheless if you know what we mean. Some of the songs definitely do rock out, but still remain somehow muted and moody. It's gorgeous stuff, the downer, down-tempo mood spoiled only a bit by covers of "Back Door Man" and "Season Of The Witch" (the later with R&B-ish female backing vocals). Aside from those, though, supposedly all the songs on here were written by Lemmy in one night, up on speed! Wow. Jeez, is Lemmy the best or what? Hendrix roadie, onetime Hawklord, metal icon...and sinister psych singer-songwriter too! This nice digipack reissue, including two tracks from the group's lone single as a bonus, comes very much recommended.

GORDON, KIM / DJ OLIVE / IKUE MORI SYR #5 (SYR) cd 9.98
The fifth title in Sonic Youth's self-released series of experimental work isn't Sonic Youth proper: instead it's bassist Kim Gordon, lauded avant-percussionist Ikue Mori, and DJ Olive of the illbient drum'n'bass group We. And guest Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto. Certainly all these folks have made excellent music with their regular groups, but in the name of that emperor who had no clothes, we must tell you that this record sucks. It's terrible. It's trying to be avant improv, I think (it certainly wasn't composed), but just comes across as utterly self-indulgent noodling without a center, a focus, or a point. The sound of a toilet flushing just might be the most apt moment on the record. Wanting to be supportive of Kim's side projects, and being a big fan of We and Mori, it pains me to have to write this. They're smart people, they must have realized this is BAD! How could they NOT know? For heaven's sake! A total disappointment.

GORE Hart-Gore / Mean Man's Dream (Southern Lord) 2cd 17.98
Holy shit. GORE! Easily one of our favorite heavy bands EVER. We raved about the separate 2lp reissues last list, but we figured we'd wait for the cds to show up before bestowing Record Of The Week status upon them. Now combined as one massive double disc document collecting the first two albums and then some from this Dutch instru-metal group, who forged an incredible minimal metallic legacy that would go on to influence loads of our favorite bands. In fact, aQ would quite possibly be a whole different kind of store if it wasn't for Gore...
This is the sort of review that is so intimidating. Records we have loved for years and years, listened to hundreds, maybe even thousands of times, and then to finally have to put into words what it is that makes these so good, so special, whatever it is that makes these two of our favorite records EVER!!!! How much do we love these records? Well, whenever we would find one used, we would buy it just to give it to someone who needed to hear it, so much so that Andee at one point was even talking to the band about a comprehensive career spanning box set. But why you ask? Difficult to explain, hearing them is enough, even decades after they were originally released, folks who have never heard Gore, are usually sold after ONE song. Sometimes it doesn't even take that long. Just listen to "Mean Man's Dream" below, we'll wait....
See what we mean? So heavy, repetitive, mesmerizing, hypnotic, angular and abrasive, but impossibly catchy, groovy even. Listen to the other tracks, you won't be able to stop, you'll need to hear them all.
Gore fanatics will need these no matter what, and most heavy music fans have probably at least heard OF Gore, if not heard them once or twice, so they too might also want to pick these up. But we might as well start with who the heck this Gore band is anyway, and why should we care...
Gore were a Dutch instrumental power trio trafficking in ultra minimal heaviness, like an even more minimal Melvins, but sans vocals, their songs made up of one, maybe two riffs, pounded out over and over, a bit like a more metal, proto-Circle.
Hart Gore and Mean Man's Dream are the first two Gore records, but play like part one and part two of a single song cycle. Crushing, pummeling, heavy as hell, repetitive, motorik, but weirdly melodic and impossibly catchy, we can't stress enough how massive and seminal these records were and are. Gore created and mastered a sound that would go on to influence countless heavy bands, and yet, somehow, these two records decades after their initial release, still sound YEARS ahead of their time, masterpieces of heavy rock, of minimal metal, of proto-math metal, of hypno rock, this, as they say is THE SHIT.
For now, all we can say, is if you are at all into heavy music, these records are about as essential as it gets, your life will be changed, the way you look at music, what you consider heavy, how you hear other heavy bands, all of that will change, for the better. Trust us.
For Gore fanatics, like us, these are ESSENTIAL, the new designs are gorgeous, incorporating the timeless original album covers with new drawings and a beautiful super stylized layout. The cd includes a big booklet, packed with liner notes, the story of Gore, tons of rare photos, and most importantly, both discs come with a whole mess of live tracks from the same era! Unreleased and unheard until now!
BUY THIS NOW! YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY. THIS COULD BE YOUR NEW FAVORITE BAND! AND C'MON SOUTHERN LORD! KEEP THE GORE REISSUES COMING. WREDE! LIFELONG DEADLINE! MEST! SLOW DEATH! WE WANT, NAY -NEED- THEM ALL!!!!!!

GORE GORE GIRLS Strange Girls (Get Hip) cd 14.98
Garage rock label Get Hip brings us this hot, hot, HOTT all-girl three-piece rock and roll band. The Gore Gore Girls, named after the Herschell Gordon Lewis movie of the same name, kick ass and sing tough girl songs like "I'm Going to Hunt You Down and Get You and Make You Mine." Reminiscent of the Pandoras before they went all L.A. metal, which, whether you believe it or not is quite a compliment. Full-sounding garage with raw guitar solos and burly, mean girls screaming over top. Sometimes the sound goes all beefy rock and roll but more often than not it's the cool and wicked stripped down garage that I love.

GORIES I Know You Fine, But How You Doin' (Crypt) cd 14.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
One of my (Sadie) favorite bands ever. Seriously, I don't tire of them. Simple, stripped down, fucked up garage rock, but no one else seems to be able to capture the magic they do. Blues. R&B. Garage. The basic elements of the Gories, who basically learned their instruments, and how to write songs as they went, which shows in the total energy of their delivery. They released three full lengths and a handful of singles, and their first two full length releases ('I Know You Fine But How You Doin' and 'Houserockin') are on this cd, for only 13.98!!! When I first discovered and fell in love with these records they were out of print and impossible to find, and now lucky you can have them both for totally cheap. These two are definitely my favorites. I've loved the Gories for so long I don't even think of them as unknown or underappreciated but I suppose they are. If you like any garage -at all-, for christ's sake, get this, it is so rockin' and dirty and driving and just makes you want to shake your ass like crazy. They have been such an enormous influence on so many bands (The Coachwhips, The White Stripes, et al) that if you like that stuff go to the source!!!

GORILLA Gimme Some... Gorilla (Beard Of Stars) cd 14.98
Last time when we stocked up on UFOmammut's Godlike Snake on the Beard Of Stars label, we also brought in a few copies of this second (new to us, released in 2004) album from English retro-rock stompers Gorilla. Consisting of two guys, including one who looks a heck of a lot like Ron Wood, and one girl who thankfully doesn't, this power trio remains unabashedly dedicated to good-time rock n' roll excess in the amped-up, fuzzed-out, cowbell-knockin' tradition of fellow '70s revivalists Fu Manchu, Nebula and Monster Magnet. Lyrics like "whoah-yeah" will be heard. SF locals Drunk Horse and Parchman Farm might also serve as comparisions. Of course, if you ask Gorilla I'm sure they'll say that what they're into is Blue Cheer, Grand Funk, Sabbath, Humble Pie, Free, Frijid Pink and other staples of the late '60s/early '70s stoner rock pantheon.
Channelling their heroes with enthusiasm, Gorilla pretty much veer between whoopin' it up on the fast songs, and grinding it out with plentiful psych leads on the slower, heavier tunes, or some combination thereof. There's a couple of longer cuts that also dabble in melodic, moody progness (even bringing in Mellotron and flute) but after each spacey interlude they generally start crankin' it again pretty quick -- which is good 'cause, well, we can't say that melodic vocals are their strong suit, unfortunately. But when they stick to the distorted, dunderheaded riff-dealin' on tracks like "Rok Orl Night" and "I'm Dirty", Gorilla live up to their burly name. If that's your thing, and/or if you liked their self-titled debut we reviewed in 2002, then Gimme Some... should prove to be an apt title.
