JON BRION – SYNECDOCHE NEW YORK (OST)

Limited Edition White Vinyl

Via FROST.

The soundtrack to Charlie Kaufman’s 2009 cult movie Synecdoche New York starring the late Philip Seymour Hoffman is released for the first time on white vinyl.

A story of time-elapsing paranoia where weeks, months, years go by as the repetitive blur overtakes.

Scored by the uniquely eclectic Jon Brion (Magnolia, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Lady Bird, etc) it’s a super-detailed drama with as suitably reflective, melancholy, and contemplative soundtrack.

BARDO POND – ON THE ELLIPSE

Limited Edition Double Purple Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve

A critically revered space rock masterpiece, 2003’s ‘On The Ellipse’ is reissued on double purple vinyl for this year’s Record Store Day.

Originally released on ATP Recordings, these songs take you on a deeply hypnotic cosmic mind-expanding trip from the beguiling heavy riffs of ‘Night Of The Frogs’ to the psych-folk of ‘Walking Clouds’.

THE BEVIS FROND – VALEDICTORY SONGS

Limited Edition Double Black Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve

Recorded in Gold Dust Studios with a new sense of optimism and a fuller sound down to lots of extra energy (Nick believed it might be their last ever record) and the addition of piano and keyboards brings an instrumental direction.

With former Hawkwind bassist Adrian Shaw and Ex-Marrillion tub-thumper Andy Ward, the album – some 72 minutes of poetic majesty; super chunky in places, silkily soft elsewhere – is a smorgasbord of melodies, from tear-jerking beauty to maximum riffage (with added guitarist Bari Watts on ‘Can’t Feel It’).

Reissued on double LP for the first time since 2000, lovingly packaged in a gatefold sleeve.

THE BEVIS FROND – WHAT DID FOR THE DINOSAURS

Limited Edition Double Black Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve

Back in the day, Record Collector enthused and mentioned “’Burnt Weenie Sandwich’ era Zappa”, “The Pretty Things” and “Byrds with attitude”. The set, some 70 minutes-plus closes with a 14-minute prog rock corker and in between; there’s the usual Frondisms – Beatles-esque couplets, minor chord progressions, Bond-esque echo, folk rock masterclasses, baroque pop and all the well-thumbed pages of the psych pop song book.

Originally released in 2002, two years after Valedictory Songs, The Bevis Frond returned with a more progressive sound with complex structures and instrumentation. Bursting with their trademark guitar licks, impeccable songwriting and a more upbeat sound.

Available on Double Vinyl for the first time ever, lovingly packaged in a gatefold sleeve.
