Freeman Greg: All Set the Bone [Kassettband]

Before she became Mel C of the Spice Girls, Melanie Chisolm found herself swept up in the UK's burgeoning '90s rave scene partying to the sounds of Prodigy and Grooverider. Her new solo album 'Sweat' is a love letter to those heady and formative days; an invitation to party, to find community on the dance floor and joy in a dark world. Recorded between London, Stockholm and Sydney, 'Sweat' fuses her past and present - the sport and the spice, the forgotten teenage raver and the accomplished DJ.

Crying Laughing: Talking (Red/White Split) [Kassettband]

Rose Caroline: Gentling the Horse At the Wal... [Kassettband]

Rock is rich krovvy that froths in the veins of Chicago's Axis: Sova, the trio of Brett Sova, Jeremy Freeze, and Josh Johannpeter. They enjoy progressive tactics when spilling it: earworm hooks & phased/fuzzed guitars, metronomic time moving flexibly into a breathing frame. With visceral pull and elegant bloom in their new songs and sounds, Flowerage discovers how to get blood back out the rock, to focus an eye in the world's chaos. RIYL: Thin Lizzy, Fugazi, Station Model Violence

Riding the least likely commercial success of the 90s with Modern Rock chart topper "Pepper," Austin odd rockers Butthole Surfers returned to the studio in 1998 for the followup, After The Astronaut. Leaning further into experiments with electronics, hip-hop, acid grooves, and the otherwise unusual, the result is a dizzying orbital trip expanding the idea of what's possible in rock music. Disputes between the Butthole Surfers and Capitol Records left the album unreleased, while the band regrouped and re-recorded some of the material for 2001's Weird Revolution, released through Hollywood Records. After The Astronaut collected dust, eventually developing a mythic status. A quarter century later, Butthole Surfers are realizing their vision for After The Astronaut. Newly mixed by guitarist/producer Paul Leary, After The Astronaut corrects the record on the band's activity in the late 90s with a bold, idiosyncratic evolution of their sun-fried psychedelia.
