A short story collection, a half-memory, a patchwork of portraits of the American south, disparate moments that somehow make sense as a whole. Karly Hartzman, the songwriter\/vocalist\/guitarist at the helm of the project, is a story collector as much as she is a storyteller: a scholar of people and one-liners. Rat Saw God, the Asheville quintet's new and best record, is ekphrastic but autobiographical and above all, deeply empathetic. Across the album's ten tracks Hartzman, guitarist MJ Lenderman, bassist Margo Shultz, drummer Alan Miller, and lap\/pedal steel player Xandy Chelmis build a shrine to minutiae. Half-funny, half-tragic dispatches from North Carolina unfurling somewhere between the wailing skuzz of Nineties shoegaze and classic country twang, that distorted lap steel and Hartzman's voice slicing through the din.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRat Saw God is an album about riding a bike down a suburban stretch in Greensboro while listening to My Bloody Valentine for the first time on an iPod Nano, past a creek that runs through the neighborhood riddled with broken glass bottles and condoms, a front yard filled with broken and rusted car parts, a lonely and dilapidated house reclaimed by kudzu. Four Lokos and rodeo clowns and a kid who burns down a corn field. Roadside monuments, church marquees, poppers and vodka in a plastic water bottle, the shit you get away with at Jewish summer camp, strange sentimental family heirlooms at the thrift stores. The way the South hums alive all night in the summers and into fall, the sound of high school football games, the halo effect from the lights polluting the darkness.

How to avoid spending too much time in them, most days. Taking inventory of the real, physical self is difficult work, work that I'm not entirely opposed to but work that became immediately more treacherous for me when I had to witness the very real toll that time, modern anxieties, isolation, and boredom were taking on me. It was easier, it seemed, to spiral into a not-so-distant glorious past, to use memory as a tool of both excitement and healing. But, speaking of excitement, I like to stumble towards a band with no agenda, no purpose, uncovering sound almost on accident. This is how I first heard Wednesday. The band came to me and I don't remember how, or why. They simply arrived, as if we'd been traveling toward each other our whole lives. I Was Trying To Describe You To Someone soaked into my summer of 2020, and in sound, in spirit, in central concerns and the execution of them, it took me back to an era before the current era, which I'd needed at the time. The past can feel less hellish than the present if we are, sometimes, not fully honest with ourselves. There is the trick of nostalgia that I spend a lot of time playing with in my own writing, and somewhat tormented by in my own living. The very real idea that nostalgia is both a useful tool and also a weapon if it isn't paired with something that approaches a type of rigorous honesty. But if I may go back to all of these ideas of nostalgia and our old, tricky, past selves that are, indeed, a part of the house of bricks that make up our present self, what I also hope you, listener, might adore about this album is the exact moment at the start of \"The Burned Down Dairy Queen\" when Karly sings I was hiding in a room in my mind \/ and I made me take a look at myself. Because if you, like me, have been avoiding mirrors - both metaphorical and real - this is where the album becomes a lighthouse, echoing bright across the darkness of my otherwise dark and empty chambers. So much of these songs meditate on the past in far less romantic ways than I have found myself meditating on the past, and I was desperate for the recalibration that this album provided. So, yes, the songs are good. You will maybe roll down your windows on a comfortable day on the right stretch of road in a warm season and turn the volume up when \"Birthday Song\" gets good and loud and singalong-able. You might sit atop a rooftop at night, closer to the moon than you were on the ground, and let \"Ghost Of A Dog\" churn and rattle you to some nighttime realization that you couldn't have had in silence. But, even on top of all of this, on top of all the pleasures and the mercies that the sounds on this album might afford. I hope and think, too, that it will remind anyone who listens that we are a collection of many reflections. All of them deserving patience. -Hanif Abdurraqib","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526706434133,"sku":"656605162713","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/wednesday-twin-plagues-2165015.jpg?v=1779843606"},{"product_id":"diiv-is-the-is-are","title":"Diiv - Is the is Are","description":"Vinyl LP pressing.

An extension and deepening of the musical ideas first expressed on 2012's critically-lauded Oshin, Is the Is Are yields a multiplicity of textures, lyrical themes, and moods. It is a more diverse world than Oshin, with different parameters and ideals. Dark and honest to a fault, the new songs are dynamic, loud, quiet, sad; they are songs that hiss and snarl; songs that, as Smith wrote recently, represent \"the real me.\" Smith's vocals, too, are much closer to the foreground, layered legibly on top of tidal waves of shimmering guitar and melodic bass weaving in and out, leaving a distinct and indelible imprint.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526749360213,"sku":"817949011697","price":33.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/diiv-is-the-is-are-1094920.png?v=1784428270"},{"product_id":"drab-majesty-an-object-in-motion","title":"Drab Majesty - An Object in Motion","description":"The latest EP from Drab Majesty marks the start of a stirring new chapter in the band's majestic legacy. Written during a 2021 retreat to the remote coastal Oregon town of Yachats, Deb Demure leaned into the neo-psychedelic resonance of a uniquely bowl-shaped 12-string Ovation acoustic\/electric guitar. After early morning hikes in the rain, Deb would record ambient guitar experiments the rest of the day, tapping into \"flow states,\" letting the sound lead the way. These sessions were then refined or recreated, and later elevated further with key collaborations by Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Justin Meldal-Johnson (Beck, M83, Air), and Ben Greenberg (Uniform, Circular Ruin Studio). An Object In Motion is true to it's title, capturing the chrysalis moment of an artist evolving, reborn and untethered, silhouetted against an open horizon.\"Cape Perpetua\" kicks off the collection's divergent palette: sparkling acoustic finger-picking refracted through delay, equal parts raga and reverie. Melodies and moods congeal and dissipate, at the threshold of rustic American primitivism, brooding neo-folk, and pastoral melancholia. \"The Skin And The Glove\" deploys jangle to different effect - baggy, soaring, grey-skied kaleidoscopic pop in the spirit of Stone Roses, Primal Scream, and The Glove. Rachel Goswell lends her iconic freefall voice to The Cure-esque ballad, \"Vanity,\" infusing poetic gravity to the doomed refrain: \"If the valve breaks \/ then the earth quakes \/ and history finds a way \/ to put you in your place.\"\"Yield To Force\", the closing track of the EP, may be the most anomalous offering of the set. A 15-minute instrumental odyssey of cyclical strings, ominous slide guitar, and simmering synthesizer, the piece sways and spirals like a long zoom into distant storm clouds. Demure finesses the guitar with a restless but regal grandeur, unfolding a panorama of peaks, shadows, and plateaus. It's music both intuitive and prophetic, tracing the slow swing of pendulums across an endless plain. Taken as a whole, An Object In Motion presents a showcase of potential futures from Drab's evolving domain, their sound poised to bloom at the precipice of transformation.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526755651669,"sku":"683950556621","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/drab-majesty-an-object-in-motion-8668250.jpg?v=1779843365"},{"product_id":"drop-nineteens-1991-gray","title":"Drop Nineteens - 1991 - Gray","description":"Following the release of Drop Nineteens' first album in 30 years, Hard Light and the re-issue of their 1992 shoegaze masterwork Delaware, we are excited to announce the official release of Drop Nineteens' 1991.

He wouldn't noodle around on a guitar in his basement. He wouldn't get a group of friends together just to jam. He was done with music entirely. Following the release of the shoegaze masterpiece Delaware in 1992, and the intricate experimentations on National Coma in 1993, the group disbanded. They shared stages with Radiohead, Hole, Blur, PJ Harvey and Smashing Pumpkins. They went from being teenagers in Boston to mid-twenty-somethings with a few MTV videos, a couple BBC sessions and numerous festival appearances under their belt. So when Drop Nineteens ceased to be, Ackell felt content. He had the rest of his life in front of him to figure out what he wanted to do. Music was a closed chapter. That was until 2021, when a friend from the band's early days got Greg on the phone to suggest making some music together, just to see how it felt. Instead of shutting it down like he had been doing over the years, he decided to entertain the prospect. For the first time in nearly 30 years, he picked up a guitar with intent. He immediately called up Steve Zimmerman, the band's bassist and fellow guitarist, and the two got writing. It felt effortless for Ackell, like he never stopped writing music. \"We were off to the races,\" he says, \"But also the question came up: what does a Drop Nineteens song sound like today?\" Enter Hard Light, the band's stunning third record. It's the band's proverbial follow up to Delaware, a modern Drop Nineteens record that is completely singular in it's sound and vision. The first task making Hard Light was, of course, getting the rest of the band back together. Drop Nineteens is an inherently collaborative project. Ackell writes the lyrics, and he works with band members Steve Zimmerman, Paula Kelley, Motohiro Yasue, and Peter Koeplin to create the sonic world. The record came together over the course of a year, recording at a patchwork of studios all around the country: Boston, Brooklyn, San Francisco, Los Angeles. When Kelley and Ackell first heard their vocals recorded together on the opus album closer \"T\", the chemistry was undeniable. Making music together felt natural, fluid, exciting. Hard Light is a romantic record in the literary sense. Beauty from longing; longing from beauty. You put the album on and want to be clad in a velvet dress sprawled across a fainting couch. You want to be holding someone's hand while you sit back in the tall grass. The guitars are expansive and expressive as ever. Ackell and Kelley's vocals are cool, crystalline, and luminous. \"Gal\" comes on like a dream. The vocals pour in when you least expect them, once in the middle, where Ackell delivers one of the strangest (and best) lyrics on the record, \"And there were snakes\/with cats at the wheel.\" Hard Light's first single, \"Scapa Flow\" is triumphant and an excellent example of what a modern day Drop Nineteens song sounds like. The guitars glide cloud-like, floor toms shuffle and rumble in the background, searching. Ackell and Kelley's vocals are as toned as they are bound. Hard Light is every bit the ride that Delaware was, diverse in it's sounds, with surprises at every turn. Drop Nineteens have brought clarity and cool in 2023 to the genre they helped create. A portrait of a band 30 years later, as talented and dedicated to their craft as ever. To put it more bluntly, they're at the top of their game.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526760632405,"sku":"843563167502","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/drop-nineteens-hard-light-crystal-1500x1500.png?v=1780197779"},{"product_id":"lorelle-meets-the-obsolete-corporal","title":"Lorelle Meets The Obsolete - Corporal","description":"Lorelle Meets the Obsolete - CORPORAL","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527076876373,"sku":"5060853705632","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/lorelle-meets-the-obsolete-corporal-6547375.jpg?v=1779842585"},{"product_id":"medicine-to-the-happy-few","title":"Medicine - To the Happy Few","description":"Vinyl LP pressing.

Because Hold, Jack Tatum's fifth album under the moniker Wild Nothing, was written in the aftermath of new parenthood during the pandemic, it was probably inevitable that it would be searching and existential music. But during the recording process, the artist known for synth-pop tastefulness used it as an opportunity to reach for a new sonic maximalism and wider set of influences. With contributions from longtime collaborator Jorge Elbrecht, Tommy Davidson of Beach Fossils and Hatchie's Harriette Pilbeam, first single \"Headlights On\" features an acid house- worthy bass groove and breakbeat that prove Tatum is playing for the rafters.Tatum produced the rest of the record on his own, partially out of necessity, due to the challenges of the pandemic. The songs were eventually brought to Adrian Olsen at Montrose Recording in Richmond to begin recording drums and filling in the gaps. While largely a product of isolation, Hold also reflects the things Tatum has learned from collaborators, both on previous records and during his acclaimed work with Japanese Breakfast and Molly Burch. The rest of the record was mixed by Geoff Swan, who listeners might know for his work with Caroline Polachek and Charli XCX. Swan put Tatum's vocals high in the mix, and throughout the album, he embraces playful vocal processing like never before.Tatum moved from Los Angeles back to his home state of Virginia about five years ago in search of a scaled-back lifestyle. The relatively suburban environment-and the occasional regret it inspired-proved to be great artistic fodder. It's the para- dox of modern America-the suburbs are supposed to be stultifying to art, but they are so full of human desperation perfect for dramatizing. On \"Suburban Solutions\", he presents an anti-jingle with an acidly bright synthesizer melody, imploring you to sign on the dotted line, put your feet up, and embrace sweet oblivion.Adding to the song's menacing cheeriness is a chorus-sung bridge, made with as- sistance from Molly Burch and Tatum's wife, Dana, It was loosely inspired by the classic Martika song \"Toy Soldiers\" and the long-ago pop craze for children's choirs, and he embraces the trend's less-than-stellar reputation. By design, Hold dwells in uncertainty and fear, but in a package that encourages meditation and a bit of fun. \"In the face of the pandemic, I think being a parent really forced my hand,\" Tatum said. \"I felt that I had no other choice but to have a positive outlook on the world. Because if I were to give in at any moment and say, \"Oh, everything is horrible,\" then I'll feel as if I've lost and I've given up on my son being able to thrive in this world.\"","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527428280405,"sku":"817949036263","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/wild-nothing-hold-3379398.png?v=1784427069"},{"product_id":"srsq-ever-crashing","title":"Srsq - Ever Crashing","description":"Ever Crashing, the second LP by Kennedy Ashlyn aka SRSQ [pronounced 'seer-skew'], is the summation of a nearly three-year journey of soul searching, songwriting, and self-discovery: \"I became myself in the process of making this record.\" From the first choral swells of opener \"It Always Rains,\" it's clear this collection exists on an ascendant plane, capturing an artist in super bloom. Every song hits like a single, heaving with guitar, synth, strings, live drums, and oceans of Ashlyn's astounding voice, balletic and illuminated. The tracks gleam with detail, often assembled from as many as 100 separate tracks, all of which were written and played solely by Ashlyn - a feat of world-building as daunting as it is devastating.For her, however, the process is intrinsic and intuitive - even a matter of survival. Her 2018 solo debut emerged in response to the tragic Ghost Ship fire in Oakland, which took the life of her bandmate and best friend Cash Askew. Similarly, Ever Crashing began materializing in the wake of an ADHD and bipolar disorder diagnosis, prompting a profound personal overhaul. Ashlyn cites such periods of turmoil as a muse of sorts, when \"songs begin to echo within me,\" gradually reverberating clearer and more vividly. As melodies and arrangements come into focus, the songs act like containers, vessels in which to externalize and exorcise tumultuous emotions, a transformation she memorializes in the climax of \"Élan Vital:\" \"Reeling in and out of deep despair \/ I am saved by song.\"From swooning end credits balladry (\"Dead Loss\") to orchestral slow- burn torch songs (\"Abyss\") to dizzying shoegaze heavens (\"Someday I Will Bask In The Sun\"), the album exudes a sense of aching grandeur and bewildered joy, rich with triumphs hard won and lost loves never forgotten. Melodies pirouette and crescendo in dazzling, elevated acrobatics, somewhere between Kate Bush and The Sundays, threaded with ethereal undercurrents of shimmering shadow. Riffs brood and sparkle over crystalline synths, buoyant bass, and patient percussion, steadily building to holy moments of tidal power, finessed to perfection by producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Slowdive, Zola Jesus). Ashlyn's is a dream-pop of questing catharsis, vulnerable but orchestral, as dense with hooks as heartbreak.The album's title refers to Ashlyn's recurring sensation of being trapped in the crest of a wave, turned and churned in the surf, mirroring the cycles of self-flagellation and surrender that she battles being bipolar. But as the poetic raptures of these songs attest, her creative process thrives at transmuting trauma into potent music of arresting beauty and hidden divinity. Ever Crashing is an aching, rare work, shaded with gradients of reverie and regret, loss and letting go, \"mourning the person I thought I should be, mourning the person I never was.\" But even in it's pain, Ashlyn's voice exerts a redemptive gravity, yearning to transform and transcend: \"Even on the inside \/ I'm bracing for impact \/ I'm waiting to destroy my life \/ To become sunlight.\"","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527818580053,"sku":"011586672758","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/srsq-ever-crashing-1752831.jpg?v=1779841806"},{"product_id":"still-corners-dream-talk","title":"Still Corners - Dream Talk","description":"Limited green colored vinyl LP pressing.

Shaped by the ghosts of the past and the wonder of the present, the release is dream pop at it's most striking, using the haze and beauty of the genre not to blur songs til they are impenetrable in every sense, but rather to capture the fleeting wonder of new love and emphasize the confusion and disorientation of loss. Formed in 2017 in Austin, Texas, Avery Burton (guitar\/vocals), Patrick Todd (drums\/vocals), and Cole Tucker (guitar) had all played in various hardcore and punk bands around town for years, but were keen to explore the dreamier, moodier music they enjoyed as well. After recording a few demos, they recruited Bre Morell (vocals) to be their lead singer. The new group self-releasing two EPs-2017's Temple of Angels and 2018's Foiled-and a single on Funeral Party Records in 2019, and were soon performing with the likes of Beach Fossils, Iceage, Narrow Head, and Turnover as well as at festivals like Levitation and Not Dead Yet. Endless Pursuit navigates between emotional highs and lows with a dreamlike complexity. The title track starts with an eerie lumber that opens the record, with shimmering, spider-like guitar lines and Morell's hushed vocals swirling together into an echoing trance. That's followed immediately with \"Tangled In Joy\", a song that finds the band at their brightest and catchiest, an avalanche of jangling guitar chords and vocals at their sweetest, swelling and cascading over each other. It's fitting that Endless Pursuit ends with \"(For You) I'd Lose It All,\" a track that's as grandiose and gigantic as The Chameleons at their peak and possibly Temple of Angels' most anthemic song to date. With Todd taking center stage on vocals, out pours a tale of desire so intense it consumes every part of your being, matched by a thunderous rhythm section, and amplified into the heavens by soaring keyboards in the chorus. It closes the record with an almost defiant feeling; a refusal to ignore something wonderful even if it may just end in more sorrow.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527848890453,"sku":"810097914193","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/temple-of-angels-endless-pursuit-cloudy-clear-6111202.jpg?v=1779841626"},{"product_id":"trauma-ray-chameleon-1","title":"Trauma Ray - Chameleon","description":"Since first bonding over Slowdive at a Texas karaoke bar six years ago, musicians Uriel Avila and Jonathan Perez have grown Trauma Ray into Fort Worth's foremost flag bearer of crushing shoegaze. A five-piece rounded out by bassist Darren Baun, drummer Nicholas Bobotas, and guitarist Coleman Pruitt, the band's debut album, 'Chameleon', captures their evolving sound at an apex of majestic devastation. A fusion of downer hooks, gauzy melancholia, and bulldozer riffs, the album heaves and crashes across 50 minutes of stacked amplifier alchemy. Lyrically the songs trace similarly lofty and brooding terrain; Avila says \"The theme is death. And a chameleon, like death, can shape-shift in and out our lives in different forms.\"'Chameleon' opens with \"Ember,\" dreamy and distant, alternately anthemic and apocalyptic, defeated and deafening. Lead single \"Bishop\" perfectly encapsulates Trauma Ray's depth and dimension, ripping out of the gate with \"the biggest, baddest, saddest wall of sound.\" Lyrics about being burnt at the stake and \"tossed in the flame\" float above a stop-start assault of precision distortion, eventually expanding into a lush, heavy, sorrowful end coda. \"Spectre\" isa mysterious, introspective dirge, envisioned as a \"mellow, slowcore, Duster-thing,\" all feeling and heavy fuzz chords (with no lead guitar). Avila wrote it, \"to be a hymnal\" from the perspective of someone who won't let go - a ghost, an ex, a shadow self.Although the album is rich with subtleties, graceful lulls, and \"breaths of air,\" the band's three guitar attack is it's defining force, a power flexed to it's peak on \"Bardo.\" Perez's intentions were blunt: \"I wanted to write a riff that was hard as fuck.\" The result is alternately mean and eerie, veering between noisy one string bends and surging headbang, mapping a middle ground between Unwound and early-Deftones. One of Trauma Ray's greatest gifts is their ability to make doomy, sledgehammer heaviness sound like an earworm, without production tricks or gimmicks: \"Riff, verse, chorus, three guitar parts - that's all you need.\" This quality is particularly apparent on the title track, a churning slab of amplifier worship, swirling chords, and heavenly, defeated vocals about not belonging, shape-shifting, and death (\"A twisted face \/ Void of attention \/ An empty space \/ In your reflection\").\"U.S.D.D.O.S\" closes the album, swaying across seven minutes of grey skied guitar and haunted voice, subtly thickening as it deepens. Feedback and shrapnel gradually begin raining down, like a satellite disintegrating in the atmosphere. Titled as an acronym after a poem by Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño that loosely translates to \"a dream within a dream,\" the melody softens, smears, and then disappears, slowly swallowed by the gravity of eternal descent. 'Chameleon' is a masterpiece of craft, balance, melody, lyricism, and gravity, flexing a fresh vision of loud-quiet-loud architectures and the vertigo depths of blasted harmonics. From Slowdive to Nothing, to Hum and beyond, the band absorb and expand on their influences into a rare and dedicated alchemy. Trauma Ray's cinematic tempest is a gathering storm only just taking flight.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527870320725,"sku":"683950557970","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/trauma-ray-chameleon-4729072.jpg?v=1779841507"},{"product_id":"horrors-night-life","title":"The Horrors - Night Life","description":"Nearly 20 years since they first began, there are few bands who've created a canon as determinedly innovative and consistently critically acclaimed as The Horrors.

Coming of age during a time where the band's blend of introspective shoegaze and gauze-laden guitar earned them tours with bands like the Radio Dept, Dum Dum Girls, A Place to Bury Strangers and Moon Duo, Young Prisms never quite reached the same heights of commercial success afforded to some of their peers. At it's core, Drifter is about the human experience and finding a balance between the thrills and intensity of wanting - another person, a better life - and the quiet rewards of finding peace in domesticity, whatever shape that may take. As the band explains, the central chorus of the lead single 'I believe in you, honeydew' changes meaning as you realize that you can't fix things, but you can figure out how to believe in yourself.' In many ways, Drifter feels like a homecoming - throughout the flux of growing older and not necessarily growing up in the ways you expected, the band has found their footing with the time afforded when you finally take the pressure off.

The two proper singles that make up half of Distance - \"Soaring High\" \/ \"Standing Stone\" and \"Crystal Shade\" \/ \"Distance\" were instant collectables upon their release, so this album was compiled to make the songs permanently available. \"Soaring High\" and \"Crystal Shade\" are jagged bits of fuzzed-out pop genius; tracks like the mutant concrete \"techno\" of \"Distance\" and the two lengthy glissando workouts on \"Oceans\" and \"Oceans II\" offset the more conventional tunes, upping the overall impact as a whole album.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42528511656021,"sku":"783881001419","price":25.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/flying-saucer-attack-distance-8312495.jpg?v=1780102808"},{"product_id":"king-krule-ooz","title":"King Krule - Ooz","description":"King Krule - OOZ","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42528539279445,"sku":"744861612612","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/king-krule-ooz-1827751.png?v=1784424970"},{"product_id":"lilys-eccsame-the-photon-band","title":"Lilys - Eccsame the Photon Band","description":"Limited 21st anniversary vinyl LP pressing of this 1994 album.

A bit later they would record a session for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show which led them to sign to Dedicated Records, home to influential acts such as Spiritualized, Chapterhouse, Global Communication, Hum and Beth Orton. Their final ascent to stardom occurred following a world tour with the Cure in 1992. Wings of Joy is the first of five studio albusm Cranes did for Dedicated. Even though it's a few shades lighter than their 80s recordings, they have maintained their slightly gripping and unsettling edge, due in part to Alison's poignant, child-like vocals.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42562217082965,"sku":"8719262042483","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/cranes-wings-of-joy-2500417.jpg?v=1780462627"},{"product_id":"tanukichan-circles","title":"Tanukichan - Circles","description":"\u003cp\u003eTanukichan, the musical project of Oakland, CA’s Hannah van Loon, has been a prominent figure in modern shoegaze music since 2016, when she first collaborated with Chaz Bear of Toro y Moi. Together, they released an EP and two full-length albums under Bear's Company Records, culminating in 2023's GIZMO.

Intrigued by whether or not van Loon was a genuine fan, he sent her a DM. Their shared musical interest sparked a dialogue that eventually led to the creation of the single \"NPC\" in 2023. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead single “City Bus,” offers a reflection on van Loon's childhood bus rides in San Francisco, evoking the stop-and-go rhythm of commuter life through hard-hitting drums and heavy guitar feedback phasing in and out of the mix.
