-Titulo Original : LABYRINTHITIS-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: Destroyer- LABERINTHITIS lanzamiento 2022. Más que un rompecabezas arcano para el oyente, Labyrinthitis también se deforma y serpentea a través de un territorio desconocido para Bejar. Escrito en gran parte en 2020 y grabado la primavera siguiente, el álbum suele encontrar a Bejar y a su colaborador frecuente John Collins buscando los artefactos míticos enterrados en algún lugar debajo de la pista de baile, desde la deslumbrante espiral de It Takes a Thief hasta la felicidad del collage Books-ian. de la pista del título. Las ideas iniciales de las canciones surgieron de la discoteca, Art of Noise y New Order, Bejar y Collins defendiendo la locura exagerada. John tiene 50 años y yo ya casi llego, pero solíamos ir a discotecas, se ríe Bejar. Nuestra versión puede haber sido clubes punk, pero nuestras piedras angulares para el álbum eran más fieles a la música disco...

-Titulo Original : Cor-Crane Secret-Fabricante : Merge Records-Descripcion Original: In January 1992, fresh off the glory that was the bands 1991 double-7 debut, Polvo headed into Duck Kee Studios in Raleigh, NC-aka the place where a lot of early Merge stuff was recorded-to track what became their debut full-length. Cor-Crane Secret was released in July of that year, the same month as Sonic Youths Dirty and Danzigs Danzig III: How the Gods Kill. (Sadly, a triple bill never happened.)Opening with a new take on Vibracobra, a bit of alternately languid and shuddering guitar churn that had appeared on a single the year before (a perfect way to bridge the Polvo of then and now), Cor-Crane Secret, with songs such as the herky-jerky Kalgon and the youthful-yet-complex In the Hand, In the Sieve, established the first iteration of that Polvo sound: intricate guitar melodies, Mr. Bowies plain-spoken vocals politely deep beneath the guitar waves, and cool ideas of how guitars could go together all over the place. In an era where guitar bands seemed to be blooming like wildflowers in a particularly fertile cow pasture, Cor-Crane Secret was a complicated bloom indeed. But Polvo was just getting started...

-Titulo Original : Live At XX Merge-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: As Merge fans know, Lambchop has been on the label since 1993, releasing a string of widely varied but consistently brilliant records. But the live Lambchop experience has been somewhat elusive in the U.S. While the band has toured the gilded theaters of Europe and elsewhere for nearly two decades, the Nashville group has seldom toured their home country. To help celebrate Merges 20th Anniversary the band showed up in one of their largest lineups in recent memory - 11-strong, including multiple guitars, keyboards, piano, and a horn section...

-Titulo Original : This (Is What I Wanted To Tell You)-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: As with 2012s engrossing Mr. M and 2016s staggering Flotus, Kurt Wagners openness to unexpected collaborators to give his thoughts and feelings the shape they need was central to the creation of This (is what I wanted to tell you). In the summer of 2017, Wagner re-met Matthew McCaughan, who has spent the last decade drumming for the likes of Bon Iver and Hiss Golden Messenger. McCaughan told Wagner he had been adventuring inside the world of rack-mounted analogue synthesizers and asked if Wagner might send some vocals to which he could compose. They became instant musical pen pals, with Wagner sending him a cappella takes of new song ideas and McCaughan dispatching long-form synthesizer pieces for inspiration. McCaughan eventually headed to Nashville, where, together, they put a band behind the songs, using pedal steel and piano and the harmonica of Nashville legend Charlie McCoy to color in the spaces of these black-and-white sketches...

-Titulo Original : Majesty Shredding-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: Since releasing their first 7-inch in 89, Superchunk has run the gamut of milestone albums: early punk rock stompers, polished mid-career masterpieces, and lush, adventurous curveballs. Conventional wisdom holds that a band two decades into its career can only rehash or reinvent, but with Majesty Shredding, Superchunk has done something entirely different. Neither a return nor a departure, Majesty Shredding telescopes two decades into 41 indelible, action-packed minutes. It is the sound of youthful exuberance fine-tuned with grown-up confidence. And it may very well be their best record yet. Review Puts the pedal to the metal with youthful abandon. --Time Out New Yor...

-Titulo Original : Manos-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: A college radio hit, Manos was characterized as indiepop or indie rock or alternative, but also had a touch of art rock, folk, emo, math rock, postrock, even jazz, nearing the same spiritual space as 90s bands like Unrest, Sebadoh, and Versus. [Rebecca] Gates told our zine in 1993 what kind of record she wanted to make: She wanted it to be really magical-the way the first Verlaines record is or a Replacements record-things that you can put on when you feel horrible. Named after a misheard Jesus Lizard lyric, Manos is just that: It sounds like smoky venues and dance parties at punk houses: woozy, tight, fraught, wrought, tense, intense, swoony, breathy, fast, worldly/weary-sophisticated and primitive, stressful and soothing...

-Titulo Original : Haw-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: Vinyl LP pressing housed in a heavyweight jacket with a debossed cover. The remastered reissue of the classic Hiss Golden Messenger album features brand-new artwork designed in close collaboration between M.C. Taylor and artist Sam Smith, along with newly penned liner notes by Amanda Petrusich (The New Yorker).

-Titulo Original : Civilian-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: 2011 vinyl LP pressing. Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack return with their third album, Civilian. Civilian is a kind of 21st-century folk music, imbued with dense shoegaze guitars, nearly melodic rhythms, and impeccable splashes of electronic color. Without leaning on conventional structure, the songs beguile with fascinating chords and melodies, Jenns voice and riveting lyrics, mesmerizing rhythms, and an intoxicating aural landscape. Jenn sums up the meaning of the album saying, this collection of songs is called Civilian because I believe everyone wants to be normal, but no one truly is...

-Titulo Original : ANDORRA [Vinyl]-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: Dan Snaith, under the guise of Caribou (formerly Manitoba), has been producing critically-acclaimed albums for years now, each an impressive development on the previous one. For his Merge debut, he marries the kaleidoscopic grandeur hes known for with pop melodies and harmonies crammed densely together. Andorra is so vividly three-dimensional, its hard to believe it was performed and recorded entirely by Snaith at home, save for vocal and songwriting contributions by friend/tour mate Junior Boys Jeremy Greenspan on one track. To make something so beautiful and vast from surroundings so constrained is surely Caribous unique alchemy...

-Titulo Original : Suburban-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: Suburban Light was meant to be a complicated, high-production affair rendered in a major studio. From 1997 until 2000, The Clientele had released a sterling string of 7 singles on several labels-Pointy and Fierce Panda, Elefant and Johnny Kane. These songs were demos, preparations for the smash they knew theyd doubtlessly make. When it finally came time to record that debut, the four post-graduate friends entered expensive studios during off hours. Instead of finding their sound, though, they only found frustration. They went, then, with the demos, relatively primitive but especially intimate recordings they made wherever they lived and whenever they wanted. Perhaps that was all for the best: Though The Clientele would later add more flourishes and finesse to their records, Suburban Light establishes the unwavering, minimal core of the band. MacLeans marriage of grace and tension on the guitar ripples throughout Lacewings, a brilliant reverie of chemicals and romance and young-adult lassitude. Drummer Howard Monk and bassist James Hornsey conduct a minor miracle of text painting during Joseph Cornell, capturing MacLeans lyrics about evaporating happiness with a rhythm section that sits somewhere between rock bustle and blues languidness...

-Titulo Original : Transistor Radio-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: M.

-Titulo Original : Out In The Storm-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: Out in the Storm, Katie Crutchfields fourth album as Waxahatchee and her second release with Merge, is the blazing result of a woman reawakened. Her most autobiographical and honest album to date, Out in the Storm is a self-reflective anchor in the story of both her songwriting and her life. As Crutchfield prepared for the release of her Merge debut Ivy Tripp, she found herself depleted emotionally and professionally amidst the dissolution of a noxious relationship. Ivy Tripp doesnt really have any resolution. Its a lot of beating around the bush, and superficially trying to see my life clearly, but just barely scratching the surface. Out in the Storm digs into what I was going through without blinking. Its a very honest record about a time in which I was not honest with myself. The album was tracked at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia with John Agnello, a producer, recording engineer, and mixer known for working with some of the most iconic musicians of the last 25 years, including Dinosaur Jr. And Sonic Youth. Agnello and Crutchfield worked together for most of December 2016, along with the band: sister Allison Crutchfield on keyboards and percussion, Katherine Simonetti on bass, and Ashley Arnwine on drums; Katie Harkin, touring guitarist with Sleater-Kinney, also contributed lead guitar. At Agnellos suggestion, the group recorded most of the music live to enhance their unity in a way that gives the album a fuller sound compared to past releases, resulting in one of Waxahatchees most guitar-driven releases to date...

-Titulo Original : A Wasteland Companion-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: Inspired by his increasingly itinerant lifestyle, Ward set forth to create something of a musical travelogue on the highly anticipated sixth solo album, a WASTELAND COMPANION.

A WASTELAND COMPANION features the talents of Zooey Deschanel, Howe Gelb, Mike Mogis, Steve Shelley, and more...

-Titulo Original : A Very She & Him Christmas-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: A VERY SHE & HIM CHRISTMAS is a wonderful collection of holiday tunes from two of musics most impressive artists Zooey Deschanel (She) & M. Ward (Him). Inspired by seminal holiday albums by the likes of the Carpenters, Vince Guaraldi, the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and more, She & Him have set out to create an intimate holiday recording of Christmas classics that helps bring new emotions out of old songs. A VERY SHE & HIM CHRISTMAS sees the duo stepping back slightly from the layered, lush aesthetic of their critically acclaimed second album, VOLUME TWO. Deschanel and Ward let the songs speak for themselves, oftentimes recording them with just acoustic guitar and vocals. Consistent in everything are the elements that have made She & Him one of the most loved bands of the last few years Deschanels soulful vocal delivery and Wards impressive guitar work, both sounding as timeless as ever...

-Titulo Original : Kaputt-Fabricante : MERGE RECORDS-Descripcion Original: Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 release from Canadian musician and singer/songwriter. Best known for his collaborations with the New Pornographers, Bejar started Destroyer as a solo home-recording project in the early to mid-90s. Destroyers limited edition 2010 twelve inch singles were lauded by critics and sold out in the first month of release.
