PETER'S WINDOW - "Peter's Window" C20

Peter is singing through the window to you, six frankly heartwrenching songs of love and fantasy. Shimmering compositions for two guitars and keyboard-bass, lovingly spare and precious with interwoven melodies, like Tom Verlaine getting cheezy in the 80s. In this intriguing debut, Peter's Window flexes the wand of studio magic into a unique slice of pop material. Listen...! C20, edition of 100, $5+shipping.

EASYBOY - "Mirror Killer" 7"EP

After two years hiding in a cave of synthesizers, the Boston-turned-Canadian heartthrob EASYBOY reemerges with MIRROR KILLER: a dense trippy EP of wacked-out pop songs. Like Devo on roids, or prom night in a space station, EASYBOY slings some top-forty vibes through a zero-gravity odyssey. An off-kilter stack of drum machines submerged in a tangled net of synth lines. Bedroom lyrics and a robo voice. The pinnacle of deep-phase strange-new-world pop gem meditation. Edition of 300, $6+shipping.

BLOOD BEACH - "Blood Beach" C23

The debut EP from Portland OR's Blood Beach. Imagine your big brother's garage band rehearsing the score to a horror movie you haven't seen yet. Driving low-end machinations and overdriven guitars, devilishly complimented by Shane's evil drawl and Camella's spooky, ghosts-at-a-party theremin. This tape is sure to get the teenage werewolf howling inside you. Oh yes! Edition of 100, $5+shipping.

THE GREAT VALLEY - "In the Silver Dream" LP

Spooky Town's pretend pop duo The Great Valley are back with their first full-length since 2008. In the Silver Dream has the same dedication to spookiness and twisted pop grooves, but spins it more towards the carnival than the haunted barn. Wow! These songs tilt and spin like a too-scary trapeze clown and hypnotize you unreal like a night at the circus. Recorded by the band on 80s equipment in an abandoned house. Synthesizers and pitch-bent guitars. Mysterious, puzzling lyrics about the silver screen, UFO abductions, and some mystic misty waterfall. Dense, layered pop confusion on brains-pink vinyl (plus free digital download). Edition of 250, $13 + shipping.

PRINCE RAMA OF AYODHYA & THE GREAT VALLEY - "Divine / Journey"

Sonic-utopian synth mystics and pretend pop make-believers don't always sound so good side by side as Prince Rama of Ayodhya and The Great Valley do. Prince Rama's twelve-minute earth-shaker "Aeolian Divine" winds its way to eternity, from the floating island Atlantis, through some kind of cosmic dancehall, and into an infinite-space ecstatic-calm of heartbeat drums and swimming synth lines. Then the Great Valley descends with ukuleles and guitars down from space, through a tree in the forest, and into their underground home. SPLIT LP with home-made recycled covers, $13 + shipping, ltd. 300.

WISDOM TOOTH - "Baby Neptune"

Lo-fi arena rock anthems for the Neverland generation and dream pop lullabies to put you to sleep for a hundred years, pieced together with piano and guitar and organ and saw and Johnny Wisdom Tooth's inimitable cartoon crooning. All over an eerie bunch of tape-collage elements. (Betty Boop's maniacal laughter at the end of the track "Be Human" will send you into a state of euphoria.) This is Wisdom Tooth's most complete and intricate release to date. You gotta check it out. C42, edition of 99, $5+shipping.

HAPPY JAWBONE FAMILY BAND - "Family Matters"

Brattelboro Vermont's Jawbone Family make the jukebox hits of a forgotten generation, or maybe the jukebox hits of a far-off planet. "Family Matters" is 76 minutes of surrealistic nostalgia-pop embedded in a web of electric noise freakouts like diamonds in a mineshaft. Minimal drums and twanging guitars and driving bass lines somehow come together into kind of miraculously well-crafted pop songs, only to be blown to bits by a sloppy-as-fuck guitar solo or Luke and Francis's atonal wailing. This is punk rock like Indiana Jones would make it, bounced off the moon and received in a tin bowl. edition of 100, C76, $5 + shipping.

SOLD OUT!

MOUNTAINHOOD - "Shine Shine"

Northern California's Mountainhood has a long long long discography, and we're psyched about the latest. Shine Shine is sometimes sweet folk songs, sometimes a wild party (like a bunch of horsemen dancing around a stump), and just about always full of plenty of goblin voices. Take it on your roadtrip and get nostalgic about redwoods and the moon. With an 8-page minibook of art by Michael Hilde. edition of 200, C38, $5 + shipping.

PRINCE BEDTIME - "Wildnight Dream Throne"

Happy to announce the first ever Prince Bedtime cassette. Fairy-dust feedback squealing, drum machine looping, wild thing howls and jangly guitars all coming together to make a wizard's pop songs. Music for midnight cruising or lazy potion-brewing or daydreaming about sexy witches. edition of 50, c30, $3 + shipping.

SOLD OUT.

WISDOM TOOTH - "Pianoskin"

Wisdom Tooth showed up at my house twice last year with a notebook full of songs, and we went down to my basement and hooked a couple of microphones into a faithless cassette deck and he spun his tall tales, about a witch, the Tooth Fairy, Lady Lochness, the Sick Grandfather Clock, and of course Pianoskin himself. Anyone who isn't acquainted with the messy folky poppy lo-fi recordings that John "Wisdom Tooth // Mad Mouth" Andrews is cooking in New Jersey is about to find the part of the world he forgot, under his bed, around the backs of trees, in the corner of the wall behind the piano, et cetera. This is raw crooning for you to sing from your pillow to the moon. Seven songs. C21, ltd. 50, $3 + shipping.

EASYBOY - "Friends"

Easyboy is Eric Farber--one half of Boston's beloved tripped-out electronics duo Truman Peyote--here crafting a kind of crooked ferris wheel ride, somewhere between sound-collage and bedroom pop. This is music for summer nights. C20, ltd. 100, $5 + shipping.

THE GREAT VALLEY -"Sophia's Skull / White Gloves"

A choir of crickets backs up the spooky crooners on every track. Now available as a cassette, as it was originally conceived, with the twin dreams of Diamond Mouse and Big Dipperr lying back against back: Sophia's Skull and White Gloves. Multi-instrumental music for make-believers, with saws, organs, and lyrics about shrunken skulls, little sisters, and creepy gloves. Listen to it on Halloween. C42, $4

SOLD OUT! (BUT MAYBE STILL AVAILABLE AT SHOWS!)

THE GREAT VALLEY - "Under Snow"

Wintertime in the Great Valley, when all the crickets go hibernate, only two men have the magic blood that never freezes. These are Big Dipperr and Diamond Mouse, standing side by side in their snowman suits, walking on frozen ponds, dragging an electric guitar to a snowy summit to wail pretend pop across the land. The six songs on this EP are as delicate as snowflakes, as epic as icicles, and as heavy as the snow on the roof. CDR or C30, $5, ltd. 100
