VELVET CRUSH - "FREE EXPRESSION" buy it here on vinyl!

VELVET CRUSH - "FREE EXPRESSION" (YOU ARE THE COSMOS, SPAIN import LP), back in stock a few copies of this amazing MATTHEW SWEET produced 1999 album, reissued a few years ago by our friend in Spain. Among power-pop’s truest believers, Ric Menck is a visionary and a scholar, a brilliant pilgrim on a lifetime quest to understand and master that inscrutable fusion of allure, insight and energy that yields the most sublime melodic devotionals to the grand wizards of the two-minute single: Brian Wilson, Alex Chilton, Roger McGuinn, Ray Davies, Pete Townshend, Phil Spector, etc. That he has sought to do so from behind a small drum kit rather than with a guitar or piano only heightens the intensity of the Illinois native’s efforts, sharpens the clarity of his perspective. Where other auteurs have found easy creative satisfaction in the imitation of some obvious aspect of their icons’ formulae, Menck — who can both sing and play guitar but rarely does either in public — demonstrates a keener, deeper obsession with the zen of pop. Great album. (Note slight differences in prices for two regions, feel free to add other Lps to the cart)

THE PARSON RED HEADS - "LIFETIME OF COMEDY" new album - buy the vinyl here

THE PARSON RED HEADS - "LIFETIME OF COMEDY" (YOU ARE THE COSOS, SPAIN import LP), an eagerly awaited return of the finest exponents of West Coast Pedal Steel and Harmony -lades Rock. Finely crafted and with beautiful melodies this album will appeal to fans of Alt. Country as well as older heads into Poco, Burrito Brothers and early Eagles. 

For its fifth album, Portland’s The Parson Red Heads dealt with a slight lineup change, as founding guitarist Sam Fowles left after the band’s last album, 2017’s Blurred Harmony. However, stepping right into Fowles’ shoes was touring guitarist Jake Smith, and the results are a glimmering, revelatory record that not only capitalizes on the band’s strengths but also moves it forward. 

Lifetime of Comedy is an album filled with sublime, Americana-tinged songs that rely on strong melodies, the obsession-worthy vocals of frontman Evan Way, and an introspective lyrical self-examination that lends the songs a poignant heft. Guitars harmonize, pedal steels sing, vocal melodies soar, and Way exposes his soul throughout. Fowles even returns to sing harmony on a few tracks. Lifetime of Comedy is an album that embeds itself. It sticks with you. Thankfully, The Parson Red Heads have managed to carry on. Ltd. vinyl with bonus CD and large POSTER. On DARK GREEN VINYL. Please note slight price difference between UK and outside Uk delivery below. (No extra to pay the price you see is the total and you can add others to your cart)
