In case you haven’t heard I have a facebook page HERE
Most of my posts will probably be there currently. It just easier / instant / and the feedback from you guys is great. If you would prefer me to keep posting here….let me know in the comments and I’ll see where the argument goes!
PONCÉ – Surrender to the Night 7″

Soul Step Records is quickly filling up my jukebox with all the catchy singles they keep releasing!
This newest release is from Ponce, who are a new to me pop duo out of Nashville. The single is on a vibrant pink vinyl (limited to 100) that pops out at you just like the songs will. If you aren’t fast enough when this drops there will be a non-limited black version that you can pick up as well. For your best bet at picking this up be sure to sign up to their club at soulsteprecords.com and you will get the first shot at this. If you don’t want to be part of the cool club …the record will go on sale to the general public on April 21st. While you wait you can enjoy the lead single below!
Hurts to Laugh – Little While 7″ Lathe

Velocity of Sound records just released the second record in their Those Were the Lathes series and it features two new tracks from Nashville’s Hurts to Laugh. These lathe cut records are limited to 50 copies and are being released on the 7th day of each month. Last month’s Lees of Memory lathe sold out in minutes, so if you are interested I hope you read this fast!
Childish Gambino – Awaken, My Love 2LP Pre-Order

Keeping us all on our toes, the new Gambino record may have the most interesting note in a pre-order I have ever seen: “Vinyl Pricing Subject to change as package content is finalized.” Well I hope the price change is down as the price on it is already $59.99 + shipping. Sure that includes a limited edition poster if you order it in the next 72 hours, but that’s still a steap price. Maybe someone saw what all the special edition copies of Because the Internet are going for and thought hey let’s get in on that. Or more likely it’s going to have some sort of VR video/cardboard item included.

Los Campesinos! – Sick Scenes LP Pre-Order

Some times when bands don’t release anything for awhile my fear becomes the thought they may never release something again, and with Los Campesinos! this had been a thought in my mind quiet a bit lately. But alas they are returning with a follow up to 2013s No Blues with this new release coming out in 2017! There is a standard black version of the LP along with a clear with pink splatter version.
