"The Androids of Mu were a noisy all-girl early post-punk band that emerged from London, UK, in 1979, alongside the likes of The Slits and The Raincoats. They met up in the wild squatter-lands of west London. Suze the Blooz, Corrina, Cozmic, and Bess became immersed in the local counter-culture. They grounded themselves in psychedelic synthesizer and guitar music, playing with Planet Gong and Here & Now, and musicians from Hawkwind. When they finally got hold of a cheap synth and a noisy guitar of their own, they used them, at full volume, with fat bass and bouncing drums, to record an album in the form of their new, colourful and zazzy reflections of life, from under the long dark shadow of puppet Thatcher's corporate new Britain. They gigged around, sharing bills with the likes of The Mob, Zounds and, The Astronauts. Blood Robots was recorded at lo-fi cult studio Street Level in 1979, this was their only ever album, originally released on Fuck Off Records. Now, cruel world, it is time for you to receive it. (This 2013 release has been carefully remastered from the original tapes. Includes insert with early photos and complete songwords)."

"La Luz came together in the summer of 2012. The band began with Shana Cleveland (guitar) and Marian Li Pino (drums) (both formerly of the K Records psych rockers the Curious Mystery) and now features Abbey Blackwell on bass and Katie Jacobson on keyboards. The group brings a relaxed beach-babe vibe to their take on the sweet, thick harmonies of '60s girl-group and doo-wop bands. La Luz is driven by thumping, energetic bass lines, danceable surf beats, trembling organ, reverb-soaked guitar, and a wild love of rock 'n' roll. The band recorded their first few songs with their friend (and ex- Curious Mystery bandmate) Johnny Goss in a sweaty apartment across from the laundry room in a Bothell, WA trailer park, and called the EP Damp Face. 'Call Me in the Day' and 'Easy Baby' are two heartache hits from the Damp Face session."

"Brute Heart is Jackie Beckey, Crystal Brinkman and Crystal Myslajek, from Minneapolis. The bass, drum viola trio has been effectively blowing minds since 2007. They have unleashed two LP's, as well as a killer 7" on M'Ladys. Now they have reached down into a deep reverb tank and pulled out 'Wildfire,' the A side to their Water Wing 45 rpm. Dub rhythms and pulsating bass lines collide with their usual layers of underwater vocals. Like their Soft Abuse LP, Lonely Hunter, 'Wildfire' was recorded by Minneapolis engineer, Mike Wisti (Mother Of Fire, Skoal Kodiak). In true dub fashion, on the flip is a re-mix of 'Wildfire' deconstructed and rebuilt by the recording studio team of Alex Yusimov (Mirah, Grass Widow) and Jason Powers (Grails, Scout Niblett)."

"Like twins who share a secret game of their own invention, Geoff Soule and Elizabeth Venable have in Sad Horse a band that operates by its own gleeful logic. Hearing these songs, you can tell there are rules keeping all of the clockwork pieces moving together but they are elusive to anyone except the two of them. From the simple set-up of guitar, drums and two voices Sad Horse spin a maniacal whirlwind, shooting off songs that twist and turn and seem on the verge of shaking to pieces before suddenly careening into a great big chorus or hooky riff. It's an exhilarating blur at first but as soon as your ears adjust it becomes clear that at heart the record is a collection of strange and wonderful pop songs. Purple On Purple Makes Purple is the debut LP of this Portland, OR duo, displaying 14 top-notch songs at 45rpm, and their return to vinyl after a beloved 7" on Mississippi Records."

"Witch Gardens are the Seattle-based project of Beth Corry, Sara Beabout, Karolyn Kukoski and Casey Catherwood. After a handful of cassettes and seven inches on a variety of labels, R-I-P is the newest chapter in the Witch Gardens narrative. Each of the EP's three songs of love, friendship and identity are articulated through their trademark dreamy melodies, buoyant rhythms, resonant guitar/autoharp, and endlessly infectious charm. Recorded at The Pool with Alex Yusimov and mastered by Tim Stollenwerk, R-I-P showcases these young pop savants' best songwriting to date. Featuring gorgeous cover art by the Witches' own Sara Beabout & Casey Catherwood. Digital download included; limited to 500 copies."

"Psychic Feline consists of Bob Desaulniers, Sydney Roth and Curtis Muenze. Arising from the ashes of The Caldonias, Psychic Feline is quickly rising to the top of Portland Oregon's prolific music scene. Words like psychedelic don't even scratch the surface in this bass-less trio. With Sydney's primal percussive stomp as the platform for the guitars of Bob and Curtis, the trio create knock-out hooks, savage fuzz and soul-vibrating feedback Vocals are a tasteful additive in this 50% instrumental outfit. So it's appropriate that their newest offering and first for Water Wing contains a blistering fuzzed out rocker on the A side,'White Walls' and an instrumental on the flip,'Non Dot'. Recorded by Alex Yusimov, mastered by Tim Stollenwerk and artwork by Nucular Animals' Wiley Hickson. Digital download included. Limited to 500 copies."

"At long last, the vinyl debut of this flawless compilation of Tyvek's early singles. Long out-of-print, and still in high demand, Fast Metabolism was initially issued as a CD-R only release, and quickly caught fire around the world. Hailing from Detroit, and behaving as if Wire had been the world's only hardcore band, Tyvek were (and still are) a much needed adrenalin spike through the breast plate. These songs eventually were released as four very hard to find 7"s between 2006 and 2008. Issued in an edition of 2000 copies, with deluxe tip-on jackets, and mastered for precision by Timothy Stollenwerk, with the vinyl lacquers cut by Bob Weston, this is a co-production between Brooklyn, New York's M'lady's Records and Portland, Oregon's Water Wing Records." Includes lyric sheet insert.
