Gxllium! released ‘Breakup songs’ on Tuesday and all of our tapes sold out in less than an hour. I’ve included pics so you can see them, but they’re out until all copies arrive at their homes, then I have three extra copies that I’ll put when I know it’s safe to. We’ll also be making more, at the very least tapes, and perhaps doing more formats. Spotify isn’t up yet but I’ll post it when I can.

Just a reminder that we made those Nuvolascura cds and there’s only a handful left and will be sold out before Halloween. The US store has a single copy of the ST and bandcamp has two, the new LP is sold out. Linked above (in stock) and below (sold out).

AJ from Colacon and Holly Caught A Contact High, and Vamonos Tapes went on the OMSB podcast with CanaDave and had some very intriguing conversations. There are still a few copies of the Colacon 12”/100 remaining, snag’em before they gone!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post, or just listen below.

Everything Is Noise did their September roundup which includes Bloom Dream and Split Silk! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list. Jam them below, but I think Bloom Dream is pretty much out and Split Silk is getting there!

Operation X-Ray’s most recent episode featured a ton of sick stuff including Crowning, Venus Twins, and Nuvolascura! Venus Twins 12”s are still in stock but the merge is almost gone.

This Noise Is Ours gave the very underappreciated Dim Into Dross and their sole release. We have no tapes left. Check it out and click on this text or the pic above, and jam it below!

Stereogum picked up the Crowning/Oaktails split along with some other cool releases and thoughts on Blood Brothers at Best Friends Forever. Click on this text or the pic above to go there, and/or jam the split below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CLAYBORNE = This Montreal band sent us some of these 12”s for distro and I fucking love it. Epic post-everything. Snag one here!

What’s next? Well those Smush 12”s were guaranteed to be finished last week and they’re still not done, so here’s hoping we get news asap, as I’ll have to email the plant again on Friday if nothing happens, cuz they are well outside of their production window :(

The Febuary cds should finish up in the next day or two (cuz we paid for a rush…but again these also aren’t done yet, and yes we did them at the same plant as the Smush 12”s :( Tentative release date is Sept 30th.

Bloom Dream tapes release September 28th! We won’t have many in stock and our cds are already dwindling. Check out their podcast with Edie on Everything Remade, embedded further down in this post.

We repressed the New Forms 12”LP ‘As Dust Collects’ on a brand new variant. Should release early October! Promo pics imminent.

We should be getting our Nuvolascura cds for their two full lengths in the next week so those will go up early October.

We’ve got some ‘Survival/Sickness’ cds from Crowning dropping October 6th as we can’t keep anything in stock from that release. Vinyl gone. Tapes gone. Vinyl repress gone.

Terry Green is back with their first full length in a fucking decade. Did they break up? No. Hiatus? No. Procrastinating? Maybe.

It releases on Monday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on 150 white/red quad 12”s and 150 red w/yellow splatter 12”s. Check the schedule below for the next month of awesomeness.
