11 – Cardinal Fuzz (Europe) and Feeding Tube Records (N.America) are delighted to bring to you ’Runnin’ Ape Like From The Backwards Superman’ A double vinyl pressing of the killer CD comp that SS Records released way back in 2004 (this double LP has space to add some extra treats too).
13 – Legendary trip-hop duo Kruder & Dorfmeister have stepped out of the ethereal fog of time to release their latest single, ‘King Size’ taken from their long-awaited album, 1995, which is set to drop on the 13th of November via G-Stone Recordings
14 – Harnessing a righteous fury and disbelief at the contempt and complacency shown by our (so called) leaders during lockdown, London duo Exit Kid explode with the fiery, satirical ‘Bleary Eyed. Taking equal elements from grunge, Britpop and slacker-rock, it’s the latest single in a line of alternative-90s revivalist gems, and a three minute, two fingered salute to the medley of morons running the world during these crazy times. Brazen in its unsubtlety, the fuzzy guitar stabs and distorted yelps match the manic nature of the themes.
15 – In the fall of 2012, Matt LaJoie began work on a set of lo-fi solo 4-track cassette home recordings that were intended to become Herbcraft’s fourth album, Wot Oz. As a bridge from the full-band Woodsist debut The Astral Body Electric, the songs and sketches of the Highland Ranch year represented a quickly and vastly shifting world of sonic inspiration: heavy Japanese psych, American free-jazz and proto-punk, and heady Velvet Underground bootlegs supplanted the flowing, folky, hippie-cult jams of yore. Several songs and sketches from this era were demoed and scrapped before the band’s trio lineup solidified around drummer/producer Aaron Neveu and bassist/organist Joe Lindsey in summer 2013 to record Wot Oz proper. Meanwhile, the 4-track cassette masters and crudely mixed 2-track bounce tapes from Highland Ranch were trucked from home to home in more than a dozen moves since 2013, eventually becoming lost in a mislabeled box for a couple years before finally being found in March. Now digitally transferred, remastered, and finished where left incomplete seven years ago, this previously apocryphal book of the Herbcraft story is being shared for the first time.
16 – The Total Rejection bring you ‘The Time Traveller’s 3rd Will And Testament’. Their Third long playing album. Filled with ‘Class A’ Garage Punk, Pop-Psych belters, that will eat their way into your brain, and you’ll find yourself screaming “Gammon Pink faced ‘politician’ beaming down on me through my TV” in the strangest of places!
19 – Robot’s third album ‘Wedding Address’. The album is a homage to his home in Berlin, the area Wedding and the pop album includes some of Berlin’s finest musicians including: Knox Chandler (Psychedelic Furs, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Cyndi Lauper), bassist Taylor Savvy (Gonzales, Bonaparte), drummer Micha Fromme (Jesper Munk) and psychedelic beach dweller Andy Aquarius on harp. Wedding Address, the follow up to 2017’s Vedgdbol is a more jagged jewel than it’s kaleidoscopic predecessor. A butterfly to a chrysalis and back again, this is pop music with metamorphic threads. This is Robbie Moore’s 3rd album as Robot – recorded at his Impression Recordings studio in Berlin, it is out on 25th September.
20 – LA-based indie rock duo The Roogs present their self-titled debut album, a collection of tracks that is honest and hopeful, combining the ethereal and the aggressive, the electronic and the acoustic, and the personal with the universal.

26 – Nick with a host of early Pink Floyd tracks
