For the past six years, Seattle’s Minus the Bear have orbited the music world like a distant meteor, fine-tuning their brand of indie rock and discovering how technology can help enhance the band’s unique pop vision – all of which is about to culminate with their latest full-length Planet of Ice, an album showing the band not so much transforming their sound as transcending it. CD Price: $14.00
Page France's newest album finds them in a period of lyrical maturity, but also one of that same fresh approach to songwriting that has netted them so much support. Nau, who still writes many of his songs outdoors in rural Maryland, has crafted an album full of splendor. The subtlety of wit and intelligence found within "The Ruby Ring Man," would lead you to believe that Michael Nau's pen is more the progeny of Mark Twain's than that of any musical group. LP Price: $10.00 (Limited edition! Comes with a coupon for a free download of the entire album in MP3 format.)
Minus the Bear CD: Six Parts Seven CD: Combo Price: $20.00 (Save $4.00!)
Minus the Bear have much more in common with chronic noise masters Dalek than you might think: their records are frequently steeped in atmospherics and peppered with some serious prog-rock tendencies. Their most recent full length (and featured remix victim) Menos El Oso was heavy on samples and their live set finds guitarist David Knudson playing his peddles more frequently than his guitar; hunkered over the side of the stage, syncopated and spastic. So when Minneapolis based rapper P.O.S. turns Drilling into a skronked up backdrop over which vocalist Jake Snider can plaintively lament, it's not really a shock...or is it? When Battles' Tyondai Braxton brings Erin Tate's clipped drums front and center to the mix it's akin to watching ice melt. As Minus the Bear transform, Interpretaciones Del Oso achieves that rare remix goal of presenting an already esteemed record in an entirely new light. As it unfolds, everything about Menos El Oso's laid back pop veneer is deconstructed, pulling back the layers to reveal a band much greater than the sum of its parts. LP Price: $12.99
First off: Don’t let the Viking scare you, he only wants to shake your hand. LP Price - $10.00
CD Description: “Baltimore’s Page France will make sensitive boys and girls cry tender tears with “Chariot” – Entertainment Weekly
This EP features four brand new songs! The EP will only be sold in the
Chin Up Chin Up’s second proper full-length – entitled “This Harness Can’t Ride Anything” was recorded by Sir Brian Deck [Iron and Wine, Red Red Meat, Modest Mouse] at his Engine Studios. These tracks are a joyful mix of shifting dynamics, stuttering riffs and buoyant arrangements all held together by front man Jeremy Bolen’s scratched up discourse on breasts, beavers, and Minnesota. The resulting record takes its cues from 2004’s “We Should Have Never Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers,” but ups the ante considerably, weaving their hyper-literate song craft in with a new sense of melody and wit.
Sonically, Page France seamlessly conjure and resurrect the timeless talent of folkloric storytelling, offering a spirited mix of musical campfire sing-a-longs, lovelock tales and whimsical pop classics all with a delicate dash of youthful exuberance. “Michael Nau’s earnest voice sweeps achingly over subtle folk-pop crescendos. Simple acoustic chord progressions accumulate deft touches of glockenspiel and burbling organs, swooning harmonies and majestic percussion, lurching gracefully toward the sublime.”
Limited to 2,000 copies! Seattle’s These Arms Are Snakes has been confounding audiences with their unique brand of melodic yet blistering hardcore since their debut release in 2003. With constant touring alongside well known acts such as: Minus the Bear, Isis, Blood Brothers, Pelican, Big Business and Oxes it is no real surprise why These Arms Are Snakes were voted best Punk/Hardcore band of 2006 by the Seattle Weekly. Horse Girl is the fifth in a series of 7” releases in 2006 for Suicide Squeeze. Side A – “Horse Girl” Side B – “Old Paradise”. On marble vinyl! 7" Price: $5.00

Just one year ago, Crystal Skulls released their celebrated debut album, Blocked Numbers, and listeners got smart and stylish songs nestled comfortably into the folds and corners of various timeframes and musical movements. The band delivered a thoughtful, eloquent, and singular record. But Crystal Skulls don’t fuck around and a mere 12 months after Blocked Numbers their second full-length album, Outgoing Behavior, finds the band forging full steam ahead. Channeling a hint of Meat Is Murder era-Smiths, sitting on a treasure chest of songs that Todd Rundgren would surely shit for, flirting with the soulful sway of a post-granola Grateful Dead mixed with brisk and brittle wit, the Skulls second effort is a loose affair in the best of ways, showcasing a band comfortable in their skin and toting the necessary confidence to stretch that skin far and wide. The band has carved a distinct niche in the vibrant Pacific Northwest climate and as Outgoing Behavior unfolds the ante is upped considerably. CD Price: $12.00
On their Suicide Squeeze debut, Socialize, Metal Hearts drop a mope-addled dose of bedroom rock. On which Anar's baritone lends a low foundation to Flora's airy registers. Sonically meshing together the angular bites of Long Drive-era Modest Mouse, the expansive bedroom drone of Arab Strap, and the subtle whispers of Cat Power. CD Price: $12.00
In the simplest terms, song titles are not the focus of Minus the Bear; it’s the music, it’s always been so….With their new album, Menos El Oso, The Bear reinforce that focus and expand on it, ushering richer narratives, refined production, and emotional breadth into their sound. The song titles are more subtle, the lyrics, more thematic. The rich syncopation and calculated, but lush, musical arrangements remain—only they've been cultivated. Think early Police, add a dash of Prefuse 73’s electronic subtlety, tons of intricate musicianship, heaping mounds of sincerity and a few emotional outbursts made by ex-members of Botch, Kill Sadie, Sharks Keep Moving, and producer Matt Bayles (Isis, Mastodon, The Blood Brothers), now you're getting there. CD Price: $14.00 LP Price: $14.00
GOON MOON is the spooky and dirgy alignment of a sorted and celebrated bunch. The band features Twiggy Ramirez of Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails, Zach Hill of HELLA, and Chris Goss from Masters of Reality, and concocts a startling bitch’s brew of outsider prog experimentalism and thrown back and twisted stoner jams in the tradition of no one. CD Price: $12.00 LP Price: $12.00
Hella Goon Moon Combo Price: $21.00 (Save $5.00!)
Headphones features David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), Tim Walsh (Pedro the Lion, TW Walsh), and Frank Lenz (Starflyer 59). Headphones was engineered and mixed by Jared Hankins in Seattle in the early days of 2005. Built wholly from synthesizers (that’s right, no guitars), live drums, and the familiar warmth of Bazan’s syrupy vocal delivery, Headphones boasts deft arrangements with timeless melodies and uncanny lyrical depth, finding Bazan, Walsh and Lenz at their best. Clean, open room recording; digital subtleties with analog affectations; seamless integration of electronic and rock and elements — Headphones is a striking, sophisticated success. CD Price: $12.00 LP Price: $12.00
Introducing the highly anticipated debut of smart and stylish indie-pop from Seattle's heavily buzzing CRYSTAL SKULLS.

LP released by Number 3 Records. CD Price: $12.00
The magic of HELLA grows more mystifying and thrilling on this split personality offering. Hill’s “Church Gone Wild” delivers a dark and menacing onslaught of aggression and guts (and vocals!), while Seim’s “Chirpin Hard” brings out a lighthearted but wholly technical and equally impressive spattering of pop and punk melded in the hot pot of the computer and video game age. Price: $14.00

HILL and his band present Masculine Drugs, a hailstorm of a full-length album with thunder claps and lightning snaps that ups the ante from ZACH HILL’S past skill flaunting and certainly pushes the young mindblower to the front of the noise-maker pack.
