Label:	NERO'S NEPTUNE
Format:	LP
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	NN 004B-LP

At Wizard Island Too Punk To Fuck/Cuz It's A Beach Funeral. Nero's Neptune has bestowed the last copies of this ultra-limited, swankly-packaged, tour-only LP upon Forced Exposure to coincide with Vampire Hands' Spring 2009 23-date tour with Wavves. Minneapolis' Vampire Hands are a rather difficult-to-pigeonhole lot, one with so many disparately abundant ideas bubbling out of their collective skulls that they barely keep pace with them. Citing influences as diverse as Exuma, Can, Neil Young and Simply Saucer, Vampire Hand's sound might (lazily) be described as Marc Bolan meets Mayo Thompson in Neil Haggerty's cannabistro. Fuzzy, distorted guitars meet tribal, pulsating rhythms. An eerily affecting falsetto melds with a lower, drier voice to create delightfully off-kilter harmonies. Get this NOW before this band assuredly ascends the hype-ladder.

Title:	Hannah In The Mansion
Label:	ST. IVES
Format:	LP
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	SAINT 029LP

"Born like a bolt of lightning, Vampire Hands are a quintessential kind of midwestern band. All of the personality and insular weirdness present in so many other Minneapolis groups' music, VH has taken all of their combined winters and created a cold and isolated sound that is hard to pin down but still strangely familiar. Their latest release, Hannah in the Mansion, focuses more on the band's collective obsession with the wilted calypso-cana of Mayo Thompson and the rickety blues of Neil Young than their previous four releases but still maintaining their swirling, modern psychedelic tendencies. Despite recording and touring at a break-neck pace since their inception in 2005, the band shows no signs of slowing down and only expanding exponentially on tapping into their idealized vision of classic American rock." On hand-decorated/painted sleeves.
