Update: Nov 28, 2011
Dead Reptile Shrine album now in stock. All pre-orders have been packed over the Thanksgiving weekend and shipped. If you didn't pre-order, grip your copy now. Thanks for your support! One last tape batch due before the end of the year so stay tuned.
Update: Oct 20, 2011
Dead Reptile Shrine album is at the plant so now taking pre-orders. Also got new distro titles from Chubby Wolf (Dani of Celer), Bee Mask, Water Borders and the fabulous Mattress -- more info, samples, etc. at the distro page.
Update: Oct 11, 2011
Got a big box from Blackest Rainbow of the UK. A lot of these titles are ultra limited and I didn't get many copies so don't sit on these if you want them. The distro should ramp up a bit now and I'll be looking to bring you stuff not commonly found at other distros. So I'm happy to offer a new tape from the KDVS Recordings, the label associated with the venerable free-form local radio station. Fresh off a national tour with her husband, aka Pregnant, and their toddler (!), Alak is Jocelyn Noir, from the hills of Placerville -- check the samples at the distro.
Update: Sep 28, 2011
Thanks to everyone for supporting the recent sale. Got some new items up in the distro: latest Mark McGuire LP "Get Lost" on EMego and Leyland Kirby's "Eager To Tear Apart The Stars" LP.
Update: July 1, 2011

IMPORTANT - WEIRD FOREST MAIL ORDER will be CLOSED during the month of July as I will be on tour w/ Garrincha & The Stolen Elk. Any orders received during that period will be shipped when I return. Thank you.
The two latest Weird Forest releases, Garrincha & The Stolen Elk + Terrors, are now available for pre-order ... orders begin shipping next week. Offering a special bundle deal on the distro page where you get free shipping (in the US, discount everywhere else) if you buy both LPs.
For all those waiting for the Desert Fires & Mudboy titles, thank you for your patience. Those are expected to arrive in 1-2 weeks and will ship ASAP once they arrive.
Two new titles in the distro, one from the stellar Kye Records and the other is the HIGHLY RECOMMENDED new Rale LP, Some Kissed Charms That Would Not Protect Them. I'm proud to announce Rale has joined the Weird Forest roster -- he is one of my absolute favorite artists working today and will be releasing a CD-only album in the coming months. In the meantime, you gotta grip this record. Samples, etc up at the distro.

The M.B. "Symphony For A Genocide" LP & the Weird Forest spring 2011 tape batch is sold out (actually have 1 last copy of the Colour Buk tape). Please check our distros to get your copy. Thank you for your support!
The new Noveller album, "Glacial Glow", got an awesome Eureka! review on Tiny Mix Tapes ... we couldn't agree more. All pre-orders have shipped except for those ordered with the Desert Fires vinyl. Expecting Desert Fires to arrive in 2-3 weeks if all goes well.
A bit of housecleaning ... been tinkering with the site behind the scenes and may have broken some links as a result. If you see anything funky or unexpected, please drop me a line so I can fix it.

Update: May 12, 2011
Finally getting back on track after a nice jaunt up to Portland and Seattle with Garrincha & The Stolen Elk. Met some awesome folks and played with amazing acts. Selling our new Stunned tape in the distro so get it now or wait for our national tour in July and snag it in person.
Yet more delays with the Noveller "Desert Fires" & Mudboy "This Is Folk Music" LPs. At this point, it looks like the next set of releases, M.B. "Symphony For A Genocide" LP & the brand new Noveller "Glacial Glow" LP, may hit the streets before them. Apologies folks, doing everything possible to get those things out but vinyl is a tricky beast.
In distro news, got the latest Not Not Fun releases including a reissue from red-hot Barn Owl & a new burner from Jonas Reinhardt, the new Idea Fire Company LP on Kye which promises to sound amazing and a whole slug of Eggy tapes for you to jam.
