Label:	MEDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MEDS 001LP

"Recorded in a cloud of smoke in Seattle at the Chummery one night in February of 2004. The players? Your ears should be able to place a few of them. If not, try your third ear mood ring medallion. An after-dinner jam with guitar, bass, drum, piano, gamelan, marimba, banjo, cumbus, oscillator and other odd things I don't know the name of. Silkscreened covers in a one-time edition of 500." If you were going to get a tattoo, would you carve the following initials onto your ass? AB, CG, SS, LT, RW & E? I didn't think so. This LP walks down the same side of the street that Majora used to...

Artist:	HOSPITALS, THE
Title:	Hairdryer Peace
Label:	MEDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MEDS 003CD

"Finally available on CD. Ranked 3rd best album of 2008 in The Wire magazine. Intensely psychedelic and mixed for maximum hallucinations, this marks a pretty heavy departure from the Hospitals of old. Heavy tranced-out riffs, weird pop, cracked folk, disorienting noise, paranoid vibes. Main Hospital Adam Stonehouse with Rob Enbom & Rod Meyer from Eat Skull and Chris Gunn from The Hunches. The most forward-thinking album of 2008 but also an album of songs with actual emotional intensity. Not a party record and definitely not background music. Best listened to loud, alone and with herbal assistance."

Artist:	WHINES, THE
Title:	Hell To Play
Label:	MEDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	MEDS 005LP

"The Whines transcend the lo-fi tag with real, honest songs that are not hipster genre exercises or an act of desperate trend hopping. Hell To Play is a major leap forward in fidelity and songwriting from their 7". Anchored by Karianne's hypnotic voice and basslines and colored by Jesse's raw guitar and Bobby's primitive drumming. Tracks were recorded alternately by Rob & Rod from Eat Skull with 1 track recorded by Kyle from Meth Teeth / Meercaz & 2 tracks recorded by the band. This LP brings to mind things like Neil Young, Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Dead Moon and Cheater Slicks filtered through contemporary ears/minds. Sequenced like a classic album with moody rock songs, melted psych garage tunes & strange, haunting heartbreakers. Play this over and over. You will be rewarded."

Artist:	CROOK, BRIAN
Title:	Bathysphere
Label:	MEDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MEDS 006LP

"Here we finally have a first time vinyl issue of Bathysphere, the debut solo album by Brian Crook (of such estimable bands as the Renderers, Terminals, Max Block, Scorched Earth Policy, etc). It was originally released on CD in 2000 on the Medication label (no relation). Bathysphere stalks the same haunted terrain as the Renderers but with an even more isolated and experimental feel. Crook expertly uses his accent and voice to tease out the nuance of the weird phrasing, odd timing and lyrics of his tunes. Tom Lax of Siltbreeze called this album Brian's Like Flies on Sherbert in reference to the legendarily damaged solo album Alex Chilton recorded after Big Star. Includes guest spots by Robbie Yeats of the Dead C and Peter Stapleton of Dadamah, Pin Group, Terminals, etc. A hand numbered limited edition of 400 copies in beautiful silk screened covers with Meds version of an On the Beach style inner jacket. Not to be missed."
