Thee Oh Sees
Zork’s Tape Bruise
Initial pressing of 500 copies.This LP contains home recordings, demos and crazy noise sounds. It’s biting, noisy and badass. Songs are catchy and dragged through a pile of distortion, tape manipulation and random instrument collisions. The CD piece contains everything they ever released on vinyl only (Intellignce split, Peanut Butter Over, etc.).
The Pink Noise
Menagerie
The Pink Noise returns with an EP’s worth of new material on Jerkwave Tapes and we couldn’t be more excited. His album Dream Code was one of the best things to land last year and this cassette proves that the hits just keep on coming! The 7 songs of Menagerie find Mr. Pink Noise seemingly becoming simultaneously more focused (as is shown on minute long punk-head-nod opener “Lips” and the demented reggae’d out “Wings of Love”) and more out there (the atonal guitar blasts and drum freakout of “T. Rex” and the stumbling along synthy closer “Moonlight”) All together one of the strongest, most freaky Pink Noise releases yet! Leaves you wanting more for sure. Edition of 75 on pro imprinted and dubbed pink tapes.

Pheromoans
A: Revamper & Penis Envy ’96; B: The Man Who Wolf Whistled
Debut EP by Britain’s best new band. DIY shamble avant garage at its finest in the tradition of The Keggs, Swell Maps, & Danny And The Dressmakers. B-side is a weirder spoken word number reminiscent of The Shadow Ring. Their first release.
Dan Melchior und Das Menace
Dim Are the Lights
Two more great ones from one of the best and most prolific songwriters around. A-side is a great dark stomper and B-side is a cover of John Cooper Clarke’s classic keeping up his streak of quality and quantity. Fans will not be disappointed with this one.
AA
Essential Entertainment
Softspot music is proud to present its flagship release, a limited reissue of the Essential Entertainment EP by Belgian band AA. Originally released in 1981 by Sexy Robot Records and limited to 900 copies, Essential Entertainment is an unrecognized gem of the early post-punk era. A unique and compelling sense of restless dread and frustration emanates from their deep stuttering grooves, spiky guitar arpeggios, and disturbed mutter-to-shout vocals. The music is clearly inspired by its peers: Joy Division, the Fall, and label mates the Cultural Decay. Essential Entertainment was AA’s first and only release. Softspot will be releasing a limited pressing of 500 copies.
Circle Pit
Debut 7"
Debut single from Australia's Circle Pit. Lo-Fi Dirge rock ala Royal Trux. Highly recommended.
Dum Dum Girls
Dum Dum Girls
The first release from the soon to be huge Dum Dum Girls. The first release from Mr Blank Dog’s new label.
Blank Dogs
Captured Tracks Vol. 1 CD-R EP
First in a series of self-released CD-R only releases. More noisy/experimantal than other Blank Dogs releases. If you’re expecting melodic or typical Blank Dogs material, this may not be for you. 5 Exclusive tracks. Silkscreened raw paper with 7 x 7 insert (comes in a 7" sleeve.) Stamped, numbered edition of 200, not to be repressed.
Blank Dogs
On Two Sides LP
First full length offering from this prolific artist. Released on Troubleman Records.
Size
El Diablo en el Cuerpo (Cassette)
Size was a Mexican synth-punk band. This release is in desperate need of a proper CD/LP reissue. Hopefully this cassette will lead to this. Fans of Los Reactors, The Units, Flesh Eaters will enjoy. All material recorded from 1978-1984.
