Smirk, Speculative Fiction
On his most purposeful and driven release yet, Nick Vicario teams up with members of Hotline TNT, Poison Ruin, and Ceremony for a mid-tempo homage to ’80s horror-punk.
Pixies, Complete B-Sides 1988-97 [Reissue]
Neatly charting the band’s evolution from noise militants to pop eccentrics, the first-ever vinyl release of this collection reminds us that Pixies’ trash was often purer than their peers’ gold.
Mekons, Horrorble (Mekons vs. Tony Maimone in Dub Conference)
At the ripe age of 50, the Leeds post-punk/alt-country collective revisits last year’s under-the-radar Horror LP as a dub record with the aid of Pere Ubu’s Tony Maimone.
