Artist:	BROUGHTON, DAVID THOMAS
Title:	Anchovies
Label:	GOLDEN LAB (UK)
Format:	10"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	ROWF 002EP

"The first fruit of David Thomas Broughton's recording sessions (with an incredible album on Plug Research ), this well limited 10" EP features three songs from the bluegrass nuanced Broughton; opening with 'Anchovies,' wherein a dusty backing is given bite through edibly lazy vocals and some high-noon atmospherics. On the back, 'The Window' is a brief rattle of honky-tonk shack based country, whilst 'Liberazione' takes on the Flying Pickets... and consummately wins. If you fell in love with the skewed sensibilities of Antony and the Johnsons and wanted something with an equally memorable slant (but more f*cked up) check this immediately."

Artist:	NEPTUNE
Title:	Neptune
Label:	GOLDEN LAB (UK)
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	ROWF 004LP

"From Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts with a gnarled, home-made clatter and drone comes Neptune. Part sculptural art metallurgy project, part rock band (no, scratch that -- ALL rock band), the three-piece formed initially to demonstrate, in an art gallery setting, the awesome crunk of band leader Jason Sandford's home-sculpted scrap metal instruments. Two world tours and one blistering album later, they're now set to release two new full-lengths on Table of the Elements (home to their heroes Faust, Tony Conrad and John Cale, amongst others). But not before this, the first recorded fruits of their unrelenting instinct for improvisation. The album, featuring five tracks and running at a fraction over forty minutes in length, was recorded in collaboration with their friends Jessica Rylan (Can't/Vampire Can't), Donna Parker and Kevin Micka. Reminiscent of '70s/'80s experimental post-prog innovators This Heat, the home-made electronics, found sounds and scrap metal are forged to create a familiar brand of searing, soaring, seething rock, played with virtuosity and gusto, yet with a sense of individuality inescapable in the shadow of the instruments' creation. With beautiful floral packaging designed by celebrated sleeve/poster artist and NME cartoonist Dave Bailey, and pressed on beautifully putrid orange and brown marbled vinyl, this improvised masterpiece is surely a contender for most collectible record of 2007."
