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]

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.
