New Spins




White Fence Cyclops Reap 
(Castleface)

Tim Presley's exercise in destruction continues to know no bounds. Not quite as ambitious as last year's WF//FP, this new album Cyclops Reap is, however, equally challenging. 

Starts with a weird title, but also called "b/w Pink Gorilla" on the cover. Comes with 7 inch that has "Pink Gorilla" as the A side, b/w the title track, "Cyclops Reap," which isn't actually even on the album. Yikes. This record gives new meaning to making your listeners work to find meaning to make. 

Cyclops Reap is the lo-fi pop mixtape on the floor of your uncle's '92 Taurus. 

Jacco Gardner Cabinet of Curiosities
(1-2-3-4-GO!)

Jacco Gardner's strange dream of a river through a jungle inside an armoire. Dense and meandering experimental songs recall a Syd Barrett sense of humor and a smoky Carnaby Street sideshow. Basically, 60's studio pop. 

This album came recommended by Todd, of the infamous Basement Bell Ringers
