Mount Eerie - Twenty Bees 7"


A wonderful release from the still evolving Mount Eerie and the ever mysterious and brilliant Phil Elverum. The A Side is a different version of No Flashlight's "I Hold Nothing", very different. Different lyrics, and i love hearing him shouting some of my favorite ever near the end "In a generous way/give long walks to the dogs. in a generous way/ put commas in songs". The B side is the slow and simple "Human". Phil and and a girl whose identity i cannot ascertain. Of course Phil manages to shout "Let's get out of this romance!" before it's end. Sounds incredibly dusty and quiet, rumored to only have 20 copies ever pressed. Obviously rules.

U.S. Girls Me+Yoko 7"




An EP that seems to be ALL OVER that internet as of late, so why not feed the beast? Drown in the joyless fuzz of U.S. Girls, seemingly hollow and empty upon first listen, you soon find they have exactly what they need to make some of the best music for cold spring nights and hot mornings and maybe some sort of weird family movie without sound. Just out on Not Not Fun GET ONE WHILE YOU CAN!

Arcade Fire - Cold Wind 7"


Maybe a good way to start would to be a compilation of 7"s i have come across, some of which i have been lucky enough to obtain physical copies of, some not. Cold Wind and Brazil (originally entitled "Aquarela do Brasil" in 1939). Released on clear vinyl on Merge in 2005.
