Very excited to welcome New England's Eye Flys to the TJ roster, a new band comprised of guitarist Spencer Hazard of Full of Hell, guitarist/vocalst Jake Smith and drummer Patrick Forrest of Backslider, and bassist Kevin Bernsten of Triac.

Listen to their debut single "Stems" 

(and yep, they are indeed named after the Melvins track) 

Eye Flys are playing a string of dates with Multicult in the U.S. at the end of March, and will be releasing their debut 12" later this fall.

Mar. 29 - Baltimore, MD - The Crown *
Mar. 30 - Belchertown, MA - Cold Spring Hollow *
Mar. 31 - Philadelphia, PA - Ortlieb's *

* w/ Multicult

Channelling the trio's wailing psych-rock into darker, headier territory, No Keys will be out on May 17th. To celebrate, we've put up the first two singles from the album today, "Kudzu" and "Jerusalem Cricket", the latter featuring guest vocals from Golden Void's Camilla Saufly-Mitchell.

Listen to the first two singles now

No Keys is avaiable to pre-order now on limited-edition sunset orange vinyl, and CD.

 

Very excited to introduce our latest signing: Atlanta vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Sequoyah Murray.

At just 22 years old, Murray has already developed a distinctive and unique voice as an artist. Early comparisons to textural and compositional eclecticism of Arthur Russell led to Murray working with avant-electronic producer James Ginzburg (Emptyset).

Murray wrote, performed and largely produced and mixed his debut 12" himself, which will be out in Spring 2019.

More news and music to follow soon - stay tuned!

Fox Millions Duo is the convergence of two of New York's most sought after percussionists, Greg Fox and John Colpitts aka Kid Millions (Man Forever, Oneida).

On Record Store Day 2019 (April 13th) the pair will release their new collaborative recording, Biting Through as a limited-run LP.

Watch the album trailer for Biting Through

Employing modular synthesis to lift their already inventive music in unexpected ways, Biting Through pushes the sonic and compositional potential of the drum kit to the limits, creating some of the most fearless and exhilarating music in either player's catalogue.  

A work of corrosive beauty and colossal weight, Throes sees the Iowa trio craft tectonic slabs of doom through minimalist approaches to composition. The album will be out on May 17th and is available to pre-order now.

On the eve of the release of their new album Plastic Anniversary, Baltimore sonic innovators Matmos have shared the video for "Silicone Gel Implant", directed by Andrew Benson.

Benson’s glitching visuals respond to the track's unruly rhythms, morphing from abstract, suggestive shapes into dazzling psychedelic patterns, with the breast implant itself even making a surprise cameo.

Following the release of Plastic Anniversary, Matmos will be touring the world, including a Brooklyn show at Pioneer Works on Apr. 4th, a European tour, and shows planned for Southeast Asia. Full list of dates here.

Wooden Shjips have a new live album out this summer, Shjips in the Night: Live in San Francisco, June 8, 2018, available to pre-order now from our online store.

Just over one month from the release of their new album "Plastic Anniversary" on 15 March, electronic duo Matmos (Drew Daniel and M.C. Schmidt) have unveiled the album's title track.

"Plastic Anniversary" was crafted as the duo celebrated their 25th anniversary as musical collaborators and as a couple. The sounds used on the album were crafted using exclusively plastic objects, with the title track utilizing: poker chips, pvc panflute, plastic ocarina, plastic trumpet and trombones, and a plastic fish fashioned into a jock strap - the very same fish that Daniel was wearing as a go-go dancer when he met Schmidt in San Francisco.

Listen to Matmos' Plastic Anniversary title track now
