SALE, SALE, SALE! but first, we're rolling out the big welcome mat for Mudboy, who's now part of the Weird Forest fam. We're re-issuing "This Is Folk Music" on vinyl in late 2010 and you can expect a brand-new, awesome album in 2011.
We've got three releases due imminently & need to clear out space and raise cash so here's the big sale --
Buy 2 Items, Get 1 Weird Forest Item Free!
No inventory restrictions so if you want the new McGuire release (better hurry, less than 20 left) or the Love Cry Want, all Weird Forest catalog titles are eligible. This is a great chance to catch up on some criminally slept-on WF titles (the Family Underground, Starving Weirdos, & Taku Sugimoto records spring to mind). Only a few simple rules:
1. Two 7"s count as 1 item.
2. Distro titles count toward the buy 2 items but cannot be your free item -- WEIRD FOREST titles only for the freebie. Any WEIRD FOREST pre-orders are also excluded from being the freebie but do count toward the buy 2 items.
3. Freebie cannot be the most expensive item on your order but doesn't have to be the cheapest either.
4. That's it! Use the button above to add the freebie & tell us what bonus title you want in the Paypal notes when you check out. Supplies are limited so list a couple options for back-up.
Any questions, email using the contact form to the right.
Couple new titles in the distro to help you take advantage of the sale. TwinSisterMoon "Then Fell The Ashes" LP arrived today (SOLD OUT). TSM is one-half of Natural Snow Buildings which means this is one hot record and you need it. Finally, the two dudes behind Weird Forest, Chad & me (Davy), are usually known for wielding some wild saxes in our various projects (DMPH, Klondike & York, Antennas Erupt!) but put the two of us together and what comes out? THE REPRESSIVE PROTEINS. Don't ask dudes to describe their own band, just rock the samples and check out the insane handmade helmet covers on the distro page.
Update: July 24, 2010
We found some Ganglians "Monster Head Room" LP+7" with missing lyric inserts so for those who don't mind singing along without the words, snag a copy for the special price of $10.
Some new titles in the distro: Richard Youngs/Simon Wickham-Smith "20 Years" LP+3CD, Fresh & Onlys "August In My Mind" 12", Michael Yonkers "Goodby Sunball" LP -- check 'em out.
Update: June 25, 2010
Mark McGuire "Tidings/Amethyst Waves" 2LP color vinyl all gone. Black vinyl is still available but not many left so get yours now.
Some new titles in the distro with sound samples:
ESP-Disk doesn't just do free jazz -- we got a reissue of MIJ "Yodeling Astrologer" LP, a pretty singular voice backed by guitars, etc.
Another beautiful LP import from the European label, Treue Um Treue. Unidad Sasao explores a wide spectrum of electronic music but infuses it all with a heart of rhythm.
Update: June 18, 2010
Mark McGuire "Tidings/Amethyst Waves" CD version is now sold out. Thank you. Down to the last 50 copies or so of the vinyl (including less than 10 color copies left) so get your order in soon.
Some new titles in the distro didn't make it past our mailing list: Parson Sound 3LP Box on Subliminal Sounds & Emeralds latest release on Mego were snapped up by mailing list members so join our mailing list to get first crack at future titles.
Great re-issues are still up for grabs: Thomas Koner "Teimo" LP on Type Records and a cassette release of Second Verses by the legendary Drunks With Guns. Sound samples are up for all of these so check 'em out!
Update: June 11, 2010
Some new titles in the distro: Cromagnon's "Cave Rock" still sounds like a totally f'cked, freak creation 40 years after the fact. Parts of it remind me alternately of black metal, the recent Aktionist boots of Otto Muehl & even that excellent Sperm "Shhhh!" reissue on DeStijl. Amazingly, Cave Rock predates them all. Sample the sounds and you'll know you've got to add this record to your collection.
Got some tapes from Eggy Records, a wonderful, mostly-cassette label run out of Portland, OR. It's amazing to think anything can fly under the radar in this Internet age but Eggy tapes aren't readily available at the usual distros. Weird Forest brings you two latest releases: Polyps' seamless synthesis of white noise ambient drones with traditional melodic structures and Street Gnar's strong debut that's garnering repeat listens here at WF HQ. Sound samples up for both tapes so hear for yourself.
