Artist: BIRDS OF MAYA Title: Celebration Format: LP Label: Little Big Chief Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
|
"Though the game mighta changed round em, the three years since Ready to Howl aint diminished Birds of Maya one ounce (or do they measure in...grams?). You can tell right away on Celebration, cuz its just as stupefying to describe as every other moment theyve put down. Why is that? Seems so simple! But ya get near pronouncements like "Free or The Groundhogs as seen in the busted mirror mosaic of Japanese underground psych" and a lil balloon of acid anxiety busts in yer gut. Insufficient. This aint just about shred and dread; this is about sweat and spit and busted bottles. This is about volume--meaning both quantity AND decibels. It takes a lot for many of us to sit still for side-long live tracks, so I suggest you dethrone that ass and break some valuables when the evil busts start rollin out like smoke from Sleeps van; its only natural. And dont fear the "TV Eye" cover, neither, cuz it surely made me forget the last 67 beef-witted versions Id heard. Course, theres so much snarl all over this thing, Im surprised the mic aint slumped in the corner, nursing an ulcer, by the end.
Another fetid feather in Phillys cap. Dressed in hand-painted sleeves, itll make all the records you file it next to cooler via osmotic paint flakes." -

Artist: GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS Title: Borsh Format: LP Label: Little Big Chief Country: USA Price: $14.00 |

"4 songs of complete dementia. avant garage to some. 2 shorties and 2 long tracks. edition of 250 with silk screened album art. Steve McCabe from Axemen wrote a few words about their most recent live performance at the Negative Guest List show in Brisbane back in December. "Gir!s Gir!s Gir!s headed up the lineup with a set so ambient the management asked them to tone down the Brian Eno interstitial sounds between sets. Hauntingly beautiful even with volume set on level 1 GGG reflected the moment with the subtlety of an exquisite Monet depicting a fragment of daily life. Cest magnifique, as quietly charming yet nigglingly grating as a young marble giants cd set on infinite loop in the vacant house next door, playing too quietly to call the noise control but loudly enough to irritate if one were to focus on it." -Little Big Chief. |

Artist: MAD NANNA Title: s/t Format: 7" Label: Little Big Chief Country: USA Price: $6.50 |
|
"Little Big Chief is proud to announce the US pressing of Victoria, Australias Mad Nannas first 7" EP! After a criminally small amount of the initial press on the bands own imprint, Alberts Basement, made it to the sovereign shores, we deemed it necessary to get this in the hands of more willing participants! Comparisons to the rockier side of Shadow Ring, or a looser feeling Icky Boyfriends are apt, but this little sucker really has a feel of its own. Amatuerish in all the right ways. Hand numbered edition of 300." - Little Big Chief.
"..the spuzz theys released on this 7" is a dandy. Even in a country w/a scene thats blowin up like the Oz one is, still aint no one what sounds likeem. Imagine if that band, Even As We Speak was struck by lightnin & on account, forgot alls they ever knew. Upon relearnin to play, theys used a cassette recordin of File Under Pops 7" for inspiration which went beyond therapy n became THE GOAL. It also kinda sounds like a Falling Spikes bootleg what had been caked w/mud & laquered onto vinyl. Definitely Lo-Fi, doubtfully hip. No matter, its still a glass whats half full of lifes lemonade thats sweetern a Soave spritzer. Glug, glug, glug." - Roland Woodbe, Siltblog. SOLD OUT

Artist: MELCHIOR, DAN Title: Curator Culture Death Epoch Music Format: LP Label: Little Big Chief Country: USA Price: $14.00 |
| 300 pressed. "Dan Melchiors first release of 2013 (I say that with optimism) is bound to confound s much as impress. Haters gwan hate ad infinitum, but even still. The din of annoyance at Dans output by many-a critic is really just the pinched wheezing of prudes, straightenin their periwigs in a last ditch to cover up nervous bald spots. And dont you go joining em; ask me, the good times are just gettin underway. In the hazy afterburn of The Backward Path, wherein we glimpsed Dan at his most lyrically candid, comes C.C.D.E, where words are half-smothered in the molting earth and linearity is just some other jaunt. Best I can tell, its a backyard wedding of Assemblage Blues and Excerpts & Halfspeeds, with Lard Free and Yuzo Iwata on the brides flank. As you might imagine, the voyage into the sunset of these two involves a roaring mutant chassis and plenty of muddy vistas off the backroads of songform. Is that the Texas outland in the distance? Either way, the geography ahead can only get woolier. But with Dans thoroughly Scotch-taped map at the ready, theres no need to clench yer cheeks. The next turns just up the road a piece, I swear." - Little Big Chief. |

Artist: MOUNTAIN CULT Title: Mountain Cult Format: LP Label: Little Big Chief Country: USA Price: $15.00 |
|
" Straight out of a cultural dead zone, aka Brooklyn, comes a band that defies all half assed attempts at lifeblood leaking, beer soaked, fuggin rock. Seriously, stumbling upon their self released 7" was a jolt, from a part of the world where shit like this shouldnt exist. Blues influenced punk with the right amount of hazy stumble to it that keeps it all coagulated and alive. Edition of 300 with pro pressed jackets." - Little Big Chief |

"Recorded in 2008. some great guitar heaviness this time around. a few ears have compared the sounds to kray cherubs. i think it hits on the vermonster - "spirit of yma" leanings. either descriptions are a great place to start. edition of 250 with silk screened album art." -Little Big Chief. |
