We dug ourselves out of the Chicago winter just in time for an April full of killer new releases. First up, our first release with Japan's legendary Boredoms! They've just finished a US tour (much of it with our favorite guitar duelists Human Bell ), so what better way to celebrate than with the US release of their live album, Super Roots 9 .
Super Roots 9 is a recording of a live show on Christmas Eve in 2004, in Japan. The performance featured a 20-person choir alongside the group. The CD, packaged in a special custom-made mini-gatefold LP style jacket, features artwork by EYE and a 40-page booklet with music scores and notations.
And speaking of books of artwork, we also have the newest release in our series of art book and CD releases, this one by Robert AA Lowe and Rose Lazar, called Gyromancy .
Robert Lowe was a member of the band 90 Day Men and currently plays music under the name Lichens and in the band Singer. Rose Lazar runs her own hand-printed goods company called The Great Lakes Goods. Gyromancy is a 4x6†soft cover book featuring artwork from Lowe and Lazar with a special 3†CD featuring Lowe's musical accompanyment, "Psygning Off."
And stay tuned for more new releases on April 22nd by Thalia Zedek and Thank You !.. ..
